The enchanting romance between Invincible and Atom Eve becomes even more heartwarming than it already is. Some might say that the relationship between Mark and Samantha serves as the emotional core of both the animated series and the original comic books. When their paths finally converge romantically in the comics, it not only transforms the franchise’s foundation but also adds an extra layer of charm.
On Gabriel Picolo’s Instagram page, you can find fan art that elevates the cuteness of Invincible and Atom Eve’s relationship beyond its portrayal in the comics. As illustrated below, these artistic depictions spotlight the duo engaging in simple, everyday activities away from their superhero duties.
While the action-packed sequences of the comics and the show are widely celebrated, moments like these capture the essence of what makes the romance between these two superheroes so endearing.

Atom Eve and Invincible’s Romance Embraces the Ordinary
Fan Art Portrays Them in Everyday Scenarios – And It’s Captivating
In earlier fan art from 2021, Picolo illustrates a battle-worn Invincible with Atom Eve at a laundromat, cleaning their blood-stained superhero costumes after their latest conflict. They share a lighthearted moment, with Eve even seizing the chance to try on Mark’s Invincible costume. In a more recent post, Mark is seen in his college dorm room at Yale University, absorbed in an issue of Seance Dog, with another edition of Mars Attacks! nearby. Samantha enters, laughing, clutching a Seance Dog action figure.
Such moments are seldom depicted on-panel or onscreen, yet audiences can imagine them happening between scenes, serving as a tranquil pause before the chaos resumes.
Mark appears unimpressed as a closer inspection of the dorm reveals a Radiohead poster, Chicago Cubs memorabilia, and a bloodied Invincible costume lying on the bed next to a first aid kit. These instances are not typically showcased in the comics, nor are they frequently portrayed on the TV show. While they may not be pivotal to the plot and might diverge from the expected action, these moments are cherished by fans as a welcome respite.
Picolo is also recognized for his collaboration with writer Kami Garcia on a series of Teen Titans YA graphic novels published by DC Comics.

These subtle interludes offer a chance to highlight the true essence of the characters and their connections. While they may not explicitly showcase character development, they reveal how the characters bond as individuals beyond their heroic endeavors. It is easy to imagine Mark and Atom Eve sharing such moments frequently in their enduring, immortal love affair. Now, this Invincible fan art gives admirers a glimpse into how they connect outside the battlefield.
