Invincible Vs Roster Adds Cecil Stedman, A “Regular Guy With Government Funds”
Up until now, every character confirmed to appear in Invincible Vs–the 3v3 tag fighter starring characters from Skybound’s Invincible series–has been a souped-up superhero. Today, at New York Comic Con, Skybound and developer Quarter Up changed that, as Global Defense Agency head Cecil Stedman has officially been added to the playable roster.
Designing a human character to fight against superhuman opponents on the level of Omni-Man and Invincible requires a change of approach. GameSpot sat down with Robert Kirkman, creator of Invincible, and multiple members of the dev team at Quarter Up to speak about the process of bringing Cecil and his unique abilities to the game.
“Only” human
As a “normal” human among superheroes, Cecil relies less on superior strength and speed, and more on the vast resources of his government agency to provide extra firepower. This idea was key to Cecil’s appearance in Invincible Vs, as it’s those resources that make him a very formidable foe.
