Samantha Eve Wilkins, aka Atom Eve, is a character in the comic book and animated series, Invincible. She is a member of the Teen Team. Her ability is atom manipulation, which manifests in telekinesis, regeneration, and flight. Like Mark, she balances being a superhero with a normal life, and she attends high school as Eve Wilkins.

Gillian Jacobs, who you may recall as Britta in Community, voices Eve in the show now streaming on Amazon Prime.

Molly is one of the main characters of the comic series Lumberjanes. Molly is a skilled archer who also enjoys knitting, mythology, and puzzles.  Bubbles, the raccoon that sleeps on Molly’s head is a friend she made the first day of camp.  Molly is Mal’s girlfriend, and their personalities often offset one another.  Molly wears cargo shorts and a two-tone green shirt and styles her blonde hair in a braid.  Rather than have a wild animal sleep on your head, a raccoon cap can achieve a similar effect.

Mal is one of the main characters of Lumberjanes.  In the comic series, Mal is a creative thinker who plays guitar and roller derby.  She is Molly’s girlfriend and her cautious nature is often in juxtaposition to her more adventurous partner.  Mal’s outfit consists of dark ripped jeans, a red plaid shirt, and grey denim vest.  She sports an edgy undercut and multiple earrings, as well as red bracelets.

Amber Bennett is a character in the comic book and animated series, Invincible. She is a student at Reginald Vel Johnson high school — and Mark Grayson is crushing hard on her. After Mark defends her against Todd, she takes an interest in him too. They begin a romantic relationship, yet it crumbles under the weight of Invincible’s responsibilities. Mark tries to win Amber back on several occasions, eventually revealing his secret to her. But — she already figured out the identity on her own, proving her keen detective skills. Aside from being observant, Amber is altruistic, as shown with her volunteer work at the community kitchen. She even inspires Eve to use her powers to start really helping the world. Marvel star Zazie Beetz voices Amber in the show now streaming on Amazon Prime.

Albert Pratt known by superhero alias The Atom was a small but mighty Golden Age hero who premiered in DC Comics in the 1940s.  Al was a scientist and athlete proficient in hand-to-hand combat.  His character later went on to acquire atomic strength (which coincided with a modernized costume that covered more skin than the original bare-legged version).  While he has undergone several iterations, most of his costumes include bright yellow, blue, and red, making him a colorful choice for those interested in a bold look.

Robert McDowell is a sarcastic superhero that goes by the name Zenith. He appeared regularly in the sci-fi comic 2000 AD. He first appeared in 1987 and began to fade from the scene in 1992. But he still has plenty of fans and his creator – Grant Morrison – has become a popular writer for both DC and Marvel!

Given his active years, Zenith’s look is very distinctly late-80s and early-90s. He wears yellow pants and black mid-calf boots. The exact style varies from year to year but the colors remain the same. He also wears a black t-shirt with a yellow lightning bolt Z painted on it. His jacket – the final piece of his costume – varies from issue to issue. Sometimes it is a blue jacket with padded shoulders and black stripes. Other times it’s a blue and white Letterman’s jacket. And occasionally he wears a black bike cop jacket from the ’50s with studs in the shoulders. With all this change, though, two things stay the same: His styled black hair and the black mask around his eyes.
