10Doc Seismic
As evident by his name, Doc Seismic is a seismologist. He doesn’t have any abilities, but his brain damage and insanity led the Doctor to create wristbands that can cause earthquakes and eruptions. He is a hilarious villain, and due to his minor in women’s studies and African dance,Doc Seismic is a male feminist, calling the presidents of Mount Rushmore “oppressors” before critiquing Atom Eve’s costume for “pandering to gender roles”, even though she made the costume herself.

Working as Machine Head’s head bodyguard, Isotope has the ability teleport to anywhere at his will. Isotope serves as nothing more than a henchman, and after his former boss’s defeat, he became the lackey to Titan, the new head of Machine Head’s criminal organization. He hasn’t had much depth, but his sniveling lack of loyalty to his boss makes him a great villain.
The Flaxans at first seemed to be an incredibly deadly race of interdimensional beings, upon their first attack on Earth. However, due to time passing far quicker to a Flaxan than it does to a human, the Flaxan’s began dying of age and retreating back to their planet to plot another attack. The Flaxan’s then tried again, before being defeated by the Teen Team.
There, they tried again, where they nearly had them beat, and almost conquered Earth, perfecting and enhancing their technology to make them unbeatable. That was until Omni-Man intervened, however, and not only defeated the Flaxan army, but their entire civilization in seconds. In the final moments of the season, the Flaxans are seen rebuilding their civilization and vowing revenge on Earth and on Omni-Man.
The Sequids are pink parasitic aliens that latch onto other life forms to control them, who before crashing down on Mars, left a long trail of destruction throughout the universe. During their time on Mars, they were unable to controlthe Martiansdue to their shape-shifting abilities. However, when a group of astronauts arrives on Mars, the Sequids quickly begin to plan their invasion of Mars, by claiming one of the astronauts to begin their invasion.
6Machine Head
Machine Head is the head of a large criminal organization, that controls the inner city. His intelligence, cunning, and deviousness are complimented by a special microchip, that is capable of predicting future events. This is evident when Titan and Invincible seemingly ambush Machine Head to take him and his criminal organization down. However, after Machine Head predicted this event, he hired some of the world’s deadliest villains to take the two out. He didn’t last very long, but his deviousness and immense criminal power made for one of the best villains in the show.
5D.A. Sinclair
Invincible,as evident from this list, features a wide variety of unhinged villains, and the powerless D.A. Sinclair is easily among the most deranged. D.A. Sinclair’s whole shtick is that he wants to fix humanity. He believes that whatever weakness a human has, is an obstacle, and Sinclair opts to change this through engineering.
By chopping up and dissecting students on the university campus he works at, he is able to create brainless, mouthless, super-strong, and super-durable machines, capable of mass destruction. Cecil Stedman, the head of the Global Defense Agency, hires Sinclair and his intellect to create a machine army, made from the remnants of dead soldiers. This is something Cecil isn’t proud of, but it will benefit humanity and their protection. Thankfully, Sinclair is no longer chopping up the bodies of the innocent.
Titan is a complex character. He was first introduced as nothing more than a super-powered henchman, before getting a real arc and convincing Invincible to help him take down his malevolent boss, Machine Head. However, after the two defeated Machine Head, with the help of the Guardians of the Globe, Titan has now taken over as the leader of Machine Head’s crime organization, in order to help and protect his family. His ability to surround himself in rock, grants Titan extra durability, as well as increased strength. He is a complex, deadly, and memorable villain, whom we hope to see in the show’s next season.
3The Mauler Twins
Playing a large part in the show, the Mauler Twins are as compelling as they are evil. As a pair of clones, always bickering over who is the real one and who is the clone, the two make for a fantastic pair. They don’t necessarily need to communicate with the other in battle in order to beat their enemies, due to the two sharing the same brain. Not only are they two incredibly powerful brutes, but they are also quite intelligent, making their own cloning machine, which Robot seeks to use in order to make himself a human body.
2Battle Beast
Battle Beast made an instant impact through his short and incredibly brutal appearance in the show. While little is known about the villain, we quickly learn that he is a relentless, bloodthirsty killer. Battle Beastsingle-handedly took down Invincible,and the rest of the new members of the Guardians of the Globe, putting Monster Girl and Black Samson in critical states. His design is imposing and infinitely memorable, and we can’t wait to see him again.

There’s no question, that Omni-Man is the best villain in the show. In fact, Omni-Man may just well be among the best villains in TV history. Omni-Man fooled the Earth bybeing its most powerful protector, and no other hero or villain could get in his way. However, after brutally murdering the Guardians of the Globe, Omni-Man’s true intentions shone through. He told his wife and son that Viltrumites were sent to planets to protect them, yet we learn towards the end of the show that Viltrumites are actually sent to planets to conquer and destroy them.
Omni-Man has no regard for life. Not even his own son’s. He has racked up a colossal kill count, after defeating an entire alien race by his own hands, murdering the Guardians of the Globe, defeating a giant Kaiju, and during the emotionally and physically brutal battle with his son, Invincible, he slaughtered hundreds of innocent human lives without even blinking an eye. You have to be a specific type of unhinged villain to attempt to murder and relentlessly beat your own son. Omni-Man is pure evil, and the fact that he is pretty much unstoppable only makes him far more imposing.
