Invincible vs leaks reveal spider-man easter egg and expanded roster
A flood of leaked files from Invincible VS is sending ripples through the fighting game community, hinting at a significantly larger roster and a surprising connection to the Marvel universe.
Fan-favorite heroes and a web-slinging surprise
Initial reports, stemming from a dedicated Twitter user @multiversusie, detail a substantial collection of character data. The list includes confirmed additions like Immortal and Universa, alongside fan-favorites such as Mauler Twins, Damien Darkblood, Oliver, Angstrom, Dinosaurus, and Volcanikka. But the real intrigue lies in the voice lines – each seemingly outlining not only the characters' inclusion but also how they’ll interact with existing Invincible characters.
J.k. simmons returns – and he's not happy
The leaks also spotlight Agent Spider, a distinct version of Spider-Man debuting in Prime Video’s Invincible animated series. This isn’t your typical web-slinger; he first appeared in Season 2 as a sort of stand-in for the iconic Marvel hero, who has previously crossed over into the comic book series. Mark Grayson’s encounters with Agent Spider are undeniably charming, but the character’s conversations with Omni-Man truly amplify the Spider-Man references.
Omni-man's venomous opinion
Adding a layer of meta-humor, the game has brought back J.K. Simmons, the legendary voice of J. Jonah Jameson, to portray Mark’s father. And, predictably, Omni-Man isn't thrilled. As heard in one particularly pointed exchange, Omni-Man delivers a scathing assessment: "You’re a criminal, a vigilante, a public menace – what are you doing in my universe?" The line, a staple of Jameson’s commentary on Spider-Man, underscores Quarter Up's clever integration of established lore.
More evidence surfaces
The initial leaks have since been bolstered by further evidence, including character model previews shared by @astragalu3 and even playable footage of Angstrom. Invincible VS, which launched last week to a 7/10 review, initially offered a “hard-hitting and fast-paced 3v3 tag fighting” experience, particularly appealing to fans missing the dynamic combo system of Killer Instinct. But with this expanded roster and its unexpected connections, the game is rapidly evolving beyond its initial promise.
A strong finish
Quarter Up isn't simply capitalizing on the leaks; they're actively building on the momentum. The inclusion of Agent Spider, combined with Simmons’ return, suggests a deliberate effort to expand the Invincible universe while simultaneously acknowledging and playfully subverting established superhero tropes. It’s a calculated risk – and one that could pay off handsomely.
