Invincible’s Guardians Of The Globe Team Members, History … – Screen Rant

Summary

The Guardians of the Globe are one of the most important superhero teams in the world of Invincible, and here is everything there is to know about the team including its members, history, and powers, explained. The Invincible universe is a vast one, with Amazon Prime Video's beloved TV series being packed full of superheroes and supervillains of all kinds. Many of the show's biggest-name heroes have been part of Invincible's equivalent of the Justice League: the Guardians of the Globe. There is a lot of history behind the team, so here is a full breakdown of Invincible's Guardians of the Globe story so far.

Invincible season 2 is almost here, with the highly-anticipated follow-up on the iconic first season continuing the beloved superhero stories from the comics. Invincible season 2 will bring back characters and storylines from the first season while introducing all-new ones, with some of the most exciting comic book storylines being expected to make their TV debut in season 2. Now that Invincible season 2 is just around the corner, many Invincible fans are looking back and delving into some of the lore from the previous season, including the history of the Guardians of the Globe.

The Guardians of the Globe are incredibly important, as they are actually the biggest superteam in Invincible. When it comes to Invincible's various teams of superheroes, the Guardians of the Globe are at the top of the food chain, with joining the team being the biggest ambition for many characters in the franchise. The Guardians of the Globe take on a variety of incredibly dangerous threats before the events of Invincible season 1, but the team becomes quite shaken up in episode 1, leading to some major changes in the power balance in Invincible.

Invincible season 1, episode 1 ends with Omni-Man massacring the Guardians of the Globe, with the powerful roster being cut down by the Viltrumite madman. The original team consisted of seven members, with The Immortal acting as the defacto leader. The aptly-named supe is a Celtic warrior who has lived for thousands of years, with him being magically gifted the abilities of flight, super strength, and more. The next member of the team is Darkwing, a Batman homage that uses gadgets to fight crime rather than powers. War Woman is a wealthy mace-wielding hero who can fly and fight, with her filling the role of Wonder Woman on the team.

Red Rush is a Russian speedster who can outrun almost anyone, although everyday events are perceived as painstakingly slow to him. Aquarus is a humanoid fish who has the power to control water, with him being from a civilization that resides under the ocean. Martian Man is a hero from Mars who has a variety of odd abilities, including the power to stretch to incredible lengths. Green Ghost is the final member of the team, with her being a green entity that can fly and pass through objects. While the team was incredibly powerful, they were no match for Omni-Man, who quickly killed them all in episode 1.

Although the entirety of the Guardians of the Globe are killed off in Invincible season 1, Global Defense Agency head Cecil Stedman decides to form a new team, tasking Robot with recruiting a cast of young members. Robot is the leader of the new Guardians of the Globe, with the cybernetic hero using his superintelligence and experience as the leader of the Teen Team to bring the Guardians into a new era. Black Samson is a hero who uses mechanized armor to increase his strength. As it turns out, he was a member of the original Guardians of the Globe, with him luckily leaving before Omni-Man slaughtered all of its members.

Rex Splode is an impulsive hero who has the power to cause explosions by accelerating molecules, making him a great asset to the team. Dupli-Kate is a hero that can make a seemingly infinite number of clones of herself, with her hopping from the Teen Team to the Guardians alongside Rex and Robot. Monster Girl is a hulking tank who has the ability to turn into a giant green beast, although doing so causes her to age backward. The final member of the new Guardians of the Globe is Shrinking Rae, a superhero who has the ability to decrease her size immensely, with her being an outsider on the team.

Both incarnations of the Guardians of the Globe are incredibly powerful, although the first team is significantly more powerful than the second. The Immortal is one of the most powerful figures on Earth, with him even being revived later in Invincible season 1. Red Rush is so fast that he is nearly able to beat Omni-Man, and War Woman is an incredibly strong tank. While the other members of the original team like Aquarus and Green Ghost may not be as strong, their specialized abilities significantly help out the team when they are in various binds, making them a useful asset.

While the new Guardians of the Globe can still hold their own, they aren't as powerful as the original team. Monster Girl and Rex Splode are both heavy fighters, but their weaknesses put them in a tough spot more often than not. Black Samson's experience as a member of the original team is helpful, and Robot's superintelligence makes him one of the most important members of the team. Dupli-Kate allows for the team to have a nearly endless army of soldiers, which is also nice. Shrinking Rae hasn't gotten as much screentime as the other heroes, so hopefully Invincible season 2 will provide a better look at her powers.

While tons of Guardians of the Globe members are already in Invincible, the show has teased a few future members from the comics. Bulletproof is one of the most significant Guardians of the Globe members in later Invincible stories, and since the series is already setting him up, it won't be surprising to see him on the team soon. The Thraxans have also already been introduced in Invincible, meaning that Monax could appear in future seasons. There are still plenty of Invincible stories left to tell, meaning that more Guardians of the Globe members could show up in season 2 and beyond.
