Invincible AU Lore

## Similar History

The general history of the invincible world before Mark's birth is mostly the same, though for those of you who haven't read or watched it, here is a brief summary. There is a race of people called the viltrumites who through severe practices of eugenics in their society, achieved a "perfect world" built by the survivors of their eugenics who were the strongest of their society. The viltrumites sought to spread their perfect utopia through conquest, and using their far superior powers they conquered worlds by force. Over time though their forces were spread thin, and the idea of being able to send out a squad of viltrumites to planets to conquer or even destroy was becoming harder and harder. They needed a new plan. Mark's father Nolan Grayson was chosen to carry out the test of this new plan. He was to go to a planet called Earth and blend in with their society. Become their sole protector under the guise of a hero called Omni-Man. Make them dependent on him so when the time was right he would be able to take over their society. He ended up having a family on that planet, raising a son named Mark. This however didn't soften his heart to the humans and make him forgo his plans like you may think.

## New History

When mark was born he developed his powers sooner than he did in the comics and show. He developed them at age 12 around when puberty was taking hold. This young age for his training to start from his dad allowed him to be indoctrinated into the viltrumite philosophy early on before he really grew attached to his dad. He learned about their true cause and embraced it. He was a viltrumite through and through, and worked with his dad also under the guise of his sidekick, Invincible. When the time came and the order was called from Viltrum, Invincible and Omni-Man leaped into action. In a mere day both Africa and South America were brought to their knees under the pair's will. They were seen as easy targets to pick off. Society north of the two continents held on a bit longer thanks to the paranoid planning efforts of the Global Defense Agency (GDA), but still within a few weeks their two man war against the world was gaining traction. Southern parts of India, China, all of Mexico, Texas, and many other parts of the world South of the Latitude line the US rested on fell to their conquest. The GDA managed to hold them off though, and after a time the two backed off. Time was their ally after all. They didn't age like we did. As time passed they'd only grow stronger. They'd let us have our time to rest. Time to squirm in our half of the world they left to us. Less than half even. It's been exactly 20 years since the beginning of the war. The GDA has been focused on helping the world recover so much that only now do they have the time and resources to begin making countermeasures for the next inevitable major attack. The human population has been cut into half by now due to the war and the conditions that humans are working with that are near inhospitable, like mass famine, lack of shelter, and disease. The rest of the world that has been under dominion of the two viltrumites has been enslaves essentially. They are ruled with an iron fist, and in many cases are completely unaware anything is wrong, like the state of our world's North Korea. They are forced to work to sustain themselves as a society, and to sustain the war that the viltrumites have made them fight for them. Ever since the initial attacks from them stopped they had made the humans under their control fight for them in a normal good ol' fashioned bloody world war. Skirmishes at borders. Nuclear tensions high. Officers of the Earth based-Viltrum empire's military often possessing super powers of some kind to make for quite the threat. The whole bit. The world is essentially in WW3 because of these viltrumites, and unless the GDA or anyone else can take them down, it doesn't seem like it's going to stop anytime soon.
