The tactical theory was that her superior speed and massive 12-inch guns would allow her to destroy enemy cruisers while remaining completely out of reach of danger. To achieve these high turbine speeds, the engineers deliberately reduced her armor protection.
The series deliberately destroys the trope of the "indestructible super-team."

At first glance, Invincible wears the skin of a traditional superhero story. Mark Grayson is a seemingly ordinary teenager who inherits spectacular powers from his father, Omni-Man—a Superman analog from the planet Viltrum. However, the narrative quickly shatters these familiar setups.
: The violence is unapologetically brutal. Battles have collateral damage that isn't hand-waved away, forcing the characters to face the trauma of their own actions. 3. Deconstructing Humanity Through Alien Eyes
