I met Kirkman at a FCBD signing for the release of Astounding Wolf-Man at a Mile High Comics. He signed 50 books for me and one of them was Tech Jacket No. 1. When he saw it he paused for a moment, flipped through it, and said "I haven't seen one of these in a while." Cool book.
If a Tech Jacket magnifies base power, I'm surprised the Viltrumites havent evaded & stole an arsenal of suits. Imagine Thragg & 50 of his best in Tech Jackets...
robot and tech jacket did work together when omnipotus invaded. id reckon he scanned the suit and reversed engineered it as best he could for his future models. which (without spoiling) really give viltrumites a run for their money
He doesent need it that much hes already better than viltrumites because hes a human and capable of producing adrenaline, so hes already at least x10 stronger than viltrumites in that state
@@casualcookin3893idk where this idea comes from. I’ve read the comic series front to back 3 times. Nowhere does it officially state this. The only reference is when conquest says getting angry doesn’t make you stronger, then mark gets angry and beats him up. Nowhere is it canonically stated that he gets stronger because of adrenaline let alone 10x stronger. This is an entirely fan driven theory that has not been confirmed. Beyond that, viltrumite DNA overpowers whatever host species DNA there is overtime, by the end of the series marks adrenaline glands likely will disappear due to his lack of need for them.
@@casualcookin3893 you're misinterpreting what the tech jacket does. It's not some iron man suit, It straight up buffs you in every way. That's why Tech Jacket was stronger than the Geldarians, because humans are physically stronger than they are
@ I dont know where it comes from too, im not that big of a nerd for this universe i just enjoy the series, but it makes sense and he wont lose them because im pretty sure his adrenaline is trough the roof everytime he faces viltrumite soldiers, and the same couldnt be said for them as they selectivelly bred their race to perfect soldiers that wouldnt feel fear and adrenaline on the battlefield as it can make you make mistakes Also adrenaline will in fact make anyone way stronger, people have killed wild animals like pumas and even fended off grizzly bear attacks I guess we are gonna watch the show and see if mark being Half human would offer him any benefits or not
@@brabnoifythat literally what iron man suit does😂. Iron man suit can throw a helicopter, take punched for hulk and Thor, fly, shoot lasers capable of hurting hulk and thor. I don’t get if your trying to make it seem like iron man suit is worse or not but you should read his comics
@ he’s a side character in the invincible series, i recently found out but i think you don’t remember him was bc of his character design being completely diff than it did on the movie. He has his own comic run pre CN movie then got tied into invincible as a supporting character 🤷🏽♂️
Sorry but Tech Jacket would be in the fight at all if you’re talking about comic iron man and blue beetle. They have feats way beyond anything invincible has done
Yep - you beat me to it. A lot of the superheroes in Invincible are mashups or parodies of Marvel & DC characters, but they're done so well by Image they became their own characters. Tech Jacket is essentially their version of Jaime Reyes with Hal Jordan's origin story.
@@0megacron i feel like theres so many super heroes out now, its basically impossible to write an original one that isnt just super cheesy. like condiment king lol.
@ Yep. In fact, the creators of Batman TAS came up with Condiment King in order to make fun of that very thing. He was supposed to be a one-off joke but they never expected him to be actually popular lol
Robert Kirkman said he wants to put cybertronians in invincible, and hes writing for the new comics. If they cant get tech jacket, a good alternative we can get is Optimus and grimlock
Maybe Amazon will surprise and have Tech Jacket come to help in invincible season 3 and then he’ll get his own show and the first season will be him narrating his backstory and what he’s done before he shows up in invincible and season 2 will pickup from the ending of invincible season 3. I hope that’s the case because Tech Jacket sounds the bomb
He’s going to be in Season 4. Right now we’re in the “Invincible War” arc. The way the show is going and how they change things up; we might see glimpses of him in Season 3. I can’t wait cuz he’s one of my favorite characters from the comics.
I hope he shows up! He’s really cool. Didn’t these guys repel the Viltrumites? Being one of the only planets to do so outside the Coalition planet? The Ragnar too but they’re not “sentient”. Just beasts.
I read Tech Jacket some time ago, when I saw how he gets his armor, the first thing I realized, is the posibility that Ben 10 was inspired by him, otherwise idk how the paneles are the exact same (and of course, the fact that both can't remove their respective alien objects)
He's definitely going to show up in the show in later sessions, he's created by Robert Kirkman too just like Invincible and The Walking Dead. He might show up in season 4, although in the comics he did help out in the upcoming war that will happen in season 3.
If they couldn't bring in Tech Jacket to the show, maybe they could fill in his roles with someone like Robot or maybe a new Original Character named something Adjacent to his name. Maybe something like Mech Jacket or Robo-Coat just something.
The one thing I know about Tech Jacket is that his real name is Zach Thompson, and he has Asian features. My question is whether Tech Jacket will be characterized as another half-Asian character. If so, I have the perfect actor in mind for the voice role: Jimmy O. Yang.
bro he's so fucking coooooooooooolllll!!!!!!! amazon is sitting on a goldmine. They should introduce him on invincible an then give him a spinoff!!!!!!
Honestly Tech Jacket is ruined by its weird ass romance and I'm happy people don't have the character in the show cause it would just give them false hope.
i mean yeah cool concept but in the invincible comics hes regually left in the dust, can barely hold his own and needs saving soooo often... hes played as a bit of a joke so hardly coolest or strongest
If Tech Jacket does show up, it could stir up a desire for a spinoff about his character
I would be awesome if he got his own show based off his comic
@@Nook772 im 100% on board with this idea, it would make for a good mini series
@@Nook772would be good in between tec jacket comes in the summer / fall and invincible comes in winter and as the shows age up into the invincible war
There's multiple characters with their own spinoff comics, Tech Jacket, Brit, and Wolf Man to name a few.
Hear me out, we eventually get Spawn

What?
@ Firebreather. He is a character in Invincible comics yet his first appearance outside of the comics was on his CN movie called Firebreather
That's invincible related? I've read the entire invincible run, and don't remember him. Holy shit thats nuts.

Not Ironman. The Marvel equivalent is Darkhawk
Sorry but Tech Jacket would be in the fight at all if you’re talking about comic iron man and blue beetle. They have feats way beyond anything invincible has done
Don't forget the XO Man-O-War from the other comic print.
I also hope a (TECH-JACKET) animated show gets made someday.
He is pretty dope wish I had this suit
Also it is fucking funny how Kirkman predicted *Zack* Snyder and Chris *Nolan* working together on the initial DCEU and Man of Steel in particular.
basically green lantern and blue beetle

He will. Kirkman has the rights for TJ. It might happen in s3, if not definitely season 4
so they just thought (what if we mix together iron man and spiderman) seems pretty badass tbh

probably closer to green lantern
@ of course, but the Ben 10 origin is most similar to Tech Jacket's more than Both are from Green Lantern
This character is so underrated and deserves the spotlight
I remember reading the comic and the mob boss was hilarious, homie was not about to deal with super hero bs 😂😂
Blue beetle
He definitely gives me these vibes
Finds the suit like how Ben 10 found the watch

you know i be down for a side series just about tech jacket
Tech Jacket should get a spinoff forreal that would be 🔥🔥🔥
It started when an alien device did what it did
Tech jacket is awesome
Not gonna see him or spawn 😭
Is the background music from MEGA MAN X? 🤷🏻😅
I wonder what would happen if a viltrumite wore this suit
If he isn't included I will absolutely be so bummed and it will 100% be images fault.
They should just do a show on him they literally so many characters who deserve a show by themselves
Tech jacket seems kinda like Robot?
so basically zack is like a superman but his planet doesnt blown up
i guess you could say that? maybe at the basics hes like a superman to the aliens that made it
More like green lantern with am iron man suit
