If you're feeling the post-Invincible blues after Season 4 wrapped on Prime Video, take heart: the show's already been renewed for a fifth season. But while you wait, there's a whole universe of superhero series ready to fill the void. Whether you're into animated epics, live-action coming-of-age tales, or gritty sci-fi, these shows offer the same blend of action, emotion, and legacy that made Robert Kirkman's series a hit.
From DC Comics to Marvel, and from classic cartoons to modern streaming originals, here are ten perfect superhero shows to watch after Invincible. Each one brings something unique—whether it's a fresh take on a legendary hero or a deep dive into the challenges of super-powered life.
Batman Beyond (1999–2001)
For fans who love a coming-of-age story wrapped in high-stakes action, Batman Beyond is a must-watch. Set in a futuristic Gotham City, an elderly Bruce Wayne (voiced by Kevin Conroy) mentors teenage Terry McGinnis (Will Friedle) as the new Dark Knight. This three-season, 52-episode series blends superheroics with sci-fi, featuring memorable villains and a legacy that honors the original while forging its own path. It's a gold standard for how to reimagine a classic hero.
Stargirl (2020–2022)
Originally on DC Universe before moving to The CW, Stargirl follows Courtney Whitmore (Brec Bassinger), a teenager who discovers her stepfather was once a superhero. She takes up the mantle of Stargirl to revive the Justice Society of America. Balancing high school drama with world-saving missions, this three-season series is full of youthful energy and hope. It's a standalone gem that connects you to superhero roots.
Alphas (2011–2012)
From Zak Penn and Michael Karnow, Alphas is a short-lived SyFy series about super-powered individuals who team up to stop a terrorist group called Red Flag. What sets it apart: each power comes with a serious downside—heart problems, emotional floods, or obsessive tendencies. Though it ended on a cliffhanger after 24 episodes, it offers a grounded look at how abilities might affect real people. It's loosely connected to Warehouse 13 and Eureka.
Young Justice (2010–2022)
One of the best animated series about the next generation of heroes, Young Justice focuses on the sidekicks of Justice League members as they prove themselves. With four seasons that moved from Cartoon Network to DC Universe to HBO Max, the first two are especially strong. Rich characters, unexpected twists, and a sprawling conspiracy make this a binge-worthy watch for Invincible fans who enjoy ensemble dynamics.
Wolverine and the X-Men (2009)
While X-Men: The Animated Series and X-Men '97 are iconic, Wolverine and the X-Men deserves more love. This short-lived Nicktoons series follows Wolverine (Steve Blum) as he reunites the X-Men after an attack on Xavier's mansion. With Logan leading the charge, the mutants face persecution from all sides. It's a worthy take on Marvel's favorite mutants that packs a lot of story into its single season.
Other great options include Smallville, The Flash, and Batman: The Animated Series—all classics that explore heroism from different angles.
