| ~ Maskless Mark to the other Alternate Mark Graysons. |
Markus Sebastian "Mark" Grayson, official codename Nomaskible, better know as Maskless Mark by fans is a minor antagonist in the Invincible comics and its animated adaptation.
He is one of the Alternate Mark Graysons that started off as a hero, but became evil and conquered his Earth. He was later found by Angstrom Levy, and agreed to help him destroy the reputation of his world’s Invincible.
He is voiced by Steven Yeun, who also played all the other Alternate Mark Graysons, A. Traveler in The Twilight Zone, Ricky "Jupe" Park in Nope and Danny Cho in Beef.
Appearance[]
Maskless Mark is physically identical to the mainstream Invincible. His suit is also very similar, although there are both major and minor differences. The most noticeable difference is that he does not wear a mask nor goggles with his suit.
Smaller differences include the shape of his yellow belly and U-shaped neckline. The yellow down the middle is in the shape of a rectangular septagon, with three sides at the top and a pointed bottom. The yellow circle (the dot of the I) is instead half of a hexagon. This results in more of an H than Invincible's M-shape.
The rest of his costume is black, aside from the yellow gloves and blue boots that start from his knees down. His gloves are subtly different from Mark's, with blue along the base of his fingers and the square tops of his gloves on the inside of his forearms instead of out.
Personality[]
This dimensional variant embraced the role of a supervillain, readily participating in the Invincible War with a disturbing lack of concern for the widespread destruction and loss of life he inflicted.
Comics[]
He doesn't seem to get along well with his universe Eve and eventually killed her. Showing interest to kill her again in Invincible War.
TV Show[]
He has sadistic tendency, as show when he has an evil smile when fighting The Hunk before killing him in a gruesome manner.
Despite this, he appears far more reasonable and passive than his counterparts. His demeanor reserved and almost melancholic. He is seen floating in a passive stance with a downcast expression, when the alternate Grayson's gather, and murmurs that he misses William with genuine sorrow.
Biography[]
Comics[]
Maskless Mark arrives on the first day and fights Atom Eve, revealing that he killed her in his dimension in a short exchange in which he said he would kill her slowly. Eve would later escape and reunite with the mainstream Invincible. He later survives to Day Three where he is seen among the ruins of Paris before he was sent to the wasteland dimension with the other remaining variants.
Series[]
Nomaskible arrived in the mainstream universe through Angstrom's portals alongside the other variants, and immediately proceeded to destroy everything in sight.
He was at one point seen battling the Hunk, though quickly outmatched his opponent and killed him. The Invincible War lasted for up to three days and near the end of the third day, Nomaskible along with the remaining variants were summoned to meet Angstrom Levy at the Grayson household.
Flying above the house, he and the other variants met up with Angstrom who commanded that they find the mainstream Invincible. However, most of them refused to follow orders anymore, demanding that Angstrom hold up his end of the deal. Maskvincible then talks about why he was here to find Debbie, receiving mockery from Movincihawk. Maskvincible then retorts, claiming that they all must have had someone they cared about, to which Nomaskible acknowledges, murmuring sadly "I miss William". Regardless, all the variants still turned against Angstrom which led to him to opening portals and using his drones to push them in. Nomaskible alongside the rest of the Invincible variants then found themselves trapped in the desolate Wasteland Universe.
