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

## History

Almost nothing is known about Vidor but he is a Viltrumite soldier, and possibly participated in the "Great Purge".

In 2023, Vidor joined Lucan and Thula in interrogating Allen the Alien for information of the whereabouts of a Viltrumite warrior and his offspring on Earth. Instead Allen refused, resulting in Allen's defeat. He, along with Lucan and Thula, finally learned of Nolan's whereabouts and traveled to Thraxa, decimating the planet. They find Nolan and Mark, and Vidor remarks about the status of Lucan who Nolan acknowledges as the weakest and is dead. Vidor goes on to the Thraxans being weak as well. Nolan then states he will kill Vidor for what he did, which Vidor welcomes. Nolan and Vidor engage in a bloody fight, Vidor taunts Nolan of his lack of caring of Mark's fate, which Nolan despites.

Nolan then states he will kill Vidor for what he did, which Vidor welcomes. Nolan and Vidor engage in a bloody fight, Vidor taunts Nolan of his lack of caring of Mark's fate, which Nolan despites. Eventually Vidor was defeated in gruesome matter, as Nolan bashes his head in with both fists, leaving Vidor in a near death state. Vidor was last seen being trampled by Nolan, before he went to deal with Thula. His fate after the battle is unknown.

## Physical Appearance

Vidor is a blond male with a traditional viltrumite mustache who wears the traditional plain white viltrumite uniform, along with a pair of glasses.

## **Personality**

Vidor is portrayed is a sadistic Viltrumite similar to Nolan when he fought Invincible in Chicago. When he talks very low of the Thraxans, saying that they die quick once you touch them, almost like comparing them to little things like sand. He did have a little bit of pride when meeting Nolan and applauding his actions towards Mark and Lucan upon seeing blood on his arm. Upon fighting Nolan one on one, it is shown that he is more of a talker rather than much of a fighter, as shown in the battle of Thraxa, when even taunting Nolan of his care for the Thraxans and Invincible, Nolan takes note of this remarking that whining won't let him live to see the next day.
