The Multiverse is an endless diverse section of realities in Invincible.Angstrom Levy is widely considered to be the conduit of these endless realities.
The multiverse is clearly inspired by the many-worlds interpretation theory, housing multiple realities that branch off from an unseen universe. These changes in history range from meaningless and subtle nudges to extreme changes that make them practically unrecognizable from their parent universe.
It's stated and testified by Angstrom Levy that the vast majority of Invincible variants in the multiverse are evil tyrants, most commonly aligned with the Viltrum Empire of their world.[1] While the exact reason for this huge imbalance between evil and good variants is subject to speculation, it's at least implied that the conditions for an Invincible variant to remain heroes despite it all are dependent on several hyper-specific variables.
In the case of the mainstream universe, it's implied that Mark being a late bloomer and allowing Nolan to develop a fondness for human life and his family is the main reason for Mark turning out good.[2]
Angstrom transports Invincible from his neighborhood in the middle of the night to far up in the sky in broad daylight.
Despite branching off from the same universe, several alternate universes have a different flow of time compared to one another, as mentioned by Invincible during his time in the Zombieverse. By logical extension, spatial locations vary wildly from universe to universe; Angstrom Levy's powers simply allow him to traverse through the same space through the Multiverse,[1] yet various of his portals during his Assault on the Graysons led Invincible to a plethora of completely unrelated locations, including an alternate New York City.[3]
Although the terms "dimension" and "universe" are often used interchangeably, in the comics Robot actually explains that dimensional and multiversal travel are two separate, albeit similar, entities; meaning that universes house various dimensions within themselves. This is reinforced by the existence of Flaxancible, an Invincible variant that presumably lived in the Flaxan Dimension of his universe.
Notable Universes[]
Corrupted Invincible Universe[]
Invincible broadcasting his takeover on Earth.
Invincible and Omni Man team up to conquer the earth, and presumably kill the guardians, as well as many heroes including Rex Splode. Cities are destroyed, The Immortal is sent by a resistance team to stop the two. The fight escalates to the point where Immortal has Invincible by the throat, seemly berating Invincible and Omni-Man for what "they did" to earth. Then suddenly Immortal's arm is cut by Omni-Man slays Immortal.
A hooded man watches a giant widescreen footage of Mark Grayson, Invincible urging the humans to stop rebelling as the Viltrumites are here to protect them and they think have a chance, he reminds them that he's Invincible.
In a underground base, the man is called "Angstrom" and reports to Robot and a short haired Atom Eve, that Nolan and Mark are not in their sights and is able to retrieve a weapon of powerful energy.
This proves to be a premature moment as the two Viltrumites destroyers arrives. In quick fashion, Omni Man kills Rudy and some of the resistance members, while Invincible is forced to paralyze Eve, somewhat still having a strange affection for her despite debilitated and will have her fixed when they're done. Mark and Nolan calmly tell the resistance that are now being sent to death, with Angstrom furious by the demand he makes a stand. Claiming that justice and destruction will soon come for the two, but his speech is cut short when Nolan tells Mark to quicken up the execution as he wasn't able to eat due to a riot in Bangkok. Then Angstrom is brought into a portal, the two ignore the suspicious portal and began their slaughter.
Defeated Invincible Universe[]
Another Mark, also teamed up with another Nolan, but failed to secure a Viltrumite Conquest for Earth, as both him and his father were somehow defeated by military forces. Omni-Man was not so lucky, upon being killed by experimental neutron bombs that nearly took half of Europe, while Invincible was worn down by the enemies attacking him until he needed to sleep which gave the government time to arrest and capture him, they imprisoned him deep in a secured room within the Global Defense Agency who was perhaps the only group left, able to withhold Invincible.
Angstrom now sporting new cybernetic enhancements and a cloak is seen asking this Mark questions and information of his defeat and leaves.
Sinister Invincible Universe[]
Like in many other universes, Invincible joined forces with his dad and took allegiances with the Viltrum Empire, causing him to become a tyrant.

In two separateoccasions, Angstrom Levy traveled to an universe where a zombie pathogen had overrun humanity. Angstrom handpicked this universe to send Invincible during their fight.
It's unknown whether this universe has zombie superheroes roaming around or if this happens in a more grounded environment, but given the Survivors' baffled reaction to Invincible, it's safe to assume there's not.
A barren universe filled with nothing but sand and broken ruins of buildings. In the aftermath of the battle between Angstrom Levy and Invincible, the latter remained stuck in a barren wasteland universe for 20 years, eventually going insane by the time he was found by the Guardians of the Globe. They then go back in time using one of their 4 time machines and help Invincible get out of the wasteland universe before he went insane, thus aborting the timeline.
When the remaining evil Invincible variants betrayed Angstrom Levy after the Invincible War, Angstrom trapped all the remaining variants in this universe; their current status remains unknown.
