For most actors…
Playing one superhero is enough.
Not for Jack Quaid.
After spending years surviving the chaotic world of The Boys, the actor is diving into yet another superhero project.
─────────
This time, Jack Quaid is joining Invincible once again, where he’ll voice Powerplex in the upcoming season.
If you’ve read the comics…
You already know this isn’t just another superhero.
Powerplex is one of the most tragic and dangerous characters in the entire story, driven by revenge after his family’s life is shattered by a battle involving Invincible.
─────────
What’s funny is that Jack Quaid keeps ending up in superhero universes…
Without ever really playing the typical superhero.
In The Boys, he’s Hughie, an ordinary guy caught in a world of corrupt superheroes.
In Invincible, he voices a character whose hatred of superheroes becomes his entire motivation.
It’s becoming his specialty.
─────────
And honestly…
No one does « reluctant hero » better than Jack Quaid.
Whether he’s running from Homelander…
Or facing Invincible…
He always finds himself in the middle of absolute chaos.

This also says something about modern superhero stories.
They’re no longer just about saving the world.
They’re about trauma.
Consequences.
Moral ambiguity.
And the people forced to live with the aftermath.
─────────
With The Boys reaching its conclusion and Invincible continuing to grow as one of the most acclaimed animated superhero series, Jack Quaid is quietly becoming one of the defining faces of this new generation of superhero storytelling.
─────────
But here’s the real question…
If you had to choose just one modern superhero universe… would you live in The Boys… or Invincible?
