How Invincible's TV Show Fails William Clockwell & LGBTQ Fans
Amazon Prime’s new demonstrate, Invincible, removes the coming-out story of the title character’s best friend, William Clockwell — robbing the audience of some much-needed gender non-conforming representation and storylines. Based on the popular comics by Robert Kirkman, Invincible follows Mark Grayson, a young superhero who inherited his powers from his dad, a Superman-like alien named Omni-Man. In the TV show, Mark's top friend at school is William, who is openly gay; however, this is a change from the character's depiction in the comics.
Mark is a year-old high school senior when his powers finally apparent themselves, and he chooses the name Invincible for his superhero alter-ego. In Invincible, he has trouble navigating his new powers and superhero identity while keeping up a normal facade at school and in his relationships.

Invincible Has a Character Advance Out WAY Sooner Than in the Comics
WARNING: The following contains spoilers for the first three episodes of Amazon Prime Video's Invincible, which are streaming now.
Going through Robert Kirkman, Ryan Ottley and Cory Walker's original Invincible series can, almost two decades later, be awkward at times. A lot of the language characters use is very much of its time, with teenagers talking in ways that can come off as homophobic. However, Amazon Prime Video's adaptation makes some changes to the source material that fix a lot of those problems. One notable example occurs in "It's About Time," the first episode of Invincible, which reveals that William Clockwell -- Mark's best friend -- is queer much sooner than in the comics, effectively heading off a lot of homophobic rhetoric.
