**Lucan** is a supporting antagonist in *Invincible*, serving from Season 2 and onward. He is a low-class Viltrumite warrior, dedicated to aiding in the Viltrumite mission to make it the only empire in the universe.

## History

Many eons ago, despite being a low ranked Viltrumite warrior, Lucan managed to survive the "Great Purge".

In 2023, upon learning that Nolan abandoned his post on Earth and that he sired a hybrid heir, Lucan a long with Thula and Vidor, tracked down the Unopan, Allen the Alien and they attempted to extract information regarding Nolan from him, but instead he refused, resulting in his hospitalization.

### Battle at Thraxa

Lucan was one of three Viltrumite warriors to attack Thraxa, trying to kill Omni-Man and potentially recruit Invincible. He attacked Mark in a cave system to find that Omni-Man had another son with a Thraxan named Andressa. He was beating up Mark and getting the better of him before Omni-Man came in, presumably killing the Viltrumite warrior.

After Omni-Man and Mark had killed Thula and the other Viltrumite, they had thought they had won, though splattered in blood. However, Lucan was still alive, holding his own intestines he flew in and broke Omni-Man's back, mocking the latter on the importance of making sure your enemy is dead, he then contacted his "superior" that their mission was complete before falling unconscious. When Invincible woke up, he saw Lucan, hospitalized and placed on a stretcher by his fellow comrades being transported to their warship.

## Physical Appearance

Lucan is a dark brown skinned bald male with a traditional viltrumite mustache who wears the traditional plain white viltrumite uniform.

## Personality

Like most of his kind, Lucan is a sadistic viltrumite warrior who takes great pride in his lineage and shows contempt for weak races (such as Thraxans or Unopans). Being the sadistic warrior that he is, he enjoys slowly torturing his victims to death as he attempted to do with Mark during their first encounter. Lucan believes all viltrumite traitors of the empire deserve only death for dishonoring their people.

## Powers and Abilities

### Powers

* **Viltrumite Physiology**: As a Viltrumite, Lucan has a wide array of abilities common among his race. Viltrumite genes are extremely adaptive and powerful. As a Viltrumite, Lucan's genetics are so potent, he can reproduce with almost any other race and his genetics will almost completely overshadow the inherit genetics of the mate, making said offspring almost purely Viltrumite themselves. Likewise, the more naturally compatible the genetics are to the mate's race, the sooner and more likely the offspring will inherit all the standard Viltrumite abilities.
	+ **Superhuman Strength**: Lucan's strength extends to the ability to lift and press several tons, making him a powerhouse in combat situations. This strength allows him to go toe-to-toe with formidable foes.
	+ **Superhuman Speed**: Lucan can move at tremendous speeds, able to travel anywhere in the world in mere minutes if not seconds.
	+ **Superhuman Stamina**: Lucan can sustain physical exertion for prolonged periods of time without showing any signs of exhaustion. He can likewise endure some of the most grievous of injuries that would instantly kill a human.
	+ **Enhanced Lung Capacity**: Lucan possesses the remarkable physiological ability to sustain his breath for extended periods of time, spanning several weeks.
	+ **Flight**: Lucan can levitate himself in the air and propel himself in any direction he desires, able to alter his trajectory mid-flight, letting him maneuver seamlessly through various environments. He is also able to fly through space.
	+ **Nigh-Invulnerability**: Lucan's body is incredibly resilient, allowing him to withstand a wide range of attacks without sustaining any significant harm. He can walk away unscathed from explosions, bullets, and even powerful energy-based assaults.
	+ **Superhuman Senses**: Lucan possesses an exceptional auditory perception surpassing human capabilities, allowing him to discern sounds emanating from considerable distances and selectively drown out specific noises.
	+ **Regenerative Healing Factor**: Lucan's body heals from injuries at an accelerated rate, allowing him to recover quickly from wounds.
	+ **Decelerated Aging**: Lucan possesses an extraordinarily lifespan. This stems from his body gradually aging slower the longer he lives. From this, it allows him to retain his health, vitality, conditioning, performance, and youthful appearance that much longer. Despite being several millennia old, he remains a robust individual.

### Abilities

* **Master Combatant**: While he can be considered a low class fighter, he will still rely on his natural Viltrumite abilities to defeat opponents, Lucan is a trained warrior, relying on his millennia of experience, which makes him well skilled and formidable in hand-to-hand combatant as shown with his battles with Invincible and Omni-Man on Thraxa.

## Weaknesses

* **Extreme Force:** While Viltrumites are among some of the strongest in the universe, they aren't completely unstoppable. Viltrumites can be harmed by beings of similar or greater strength.
* **Excessively High Frequency:** The detrimental effects of high-frequency underwater noise on Mark have been demonstrated through empirical evidence obtained from underwater combat scenarios.

## Trivia

* Lucan's design is loosely based on American comedian Steve Harvey.
* Lucan is considered by his own brethren to be one of the weakest pureblooded Viltrumite warriors.
* Lucan is the very first Viltrumite (outside his family), that Invincible has ever met.
