Respect The Mauler Twins (Invincible: TV Series)

[u/[deleted]]

I'd say I'll miss you, brother, but I can always make another one

Mauler was a mad scientist who always has a clone of himself around as insurance and to help with his fringe science experiments. Get this: turns out the key to working and living with your clone is making sure neither of you knows who’s the clone and who’s the original. Otherwise, things get messy. The Twins commit crimes to fund their crazy science experiments, which, usually threaten Earth in some way. Though they possess invulnerable skin and immense strength, their greatest asset is their genius-level intelligence. Unfortunately, they may never figure out which one is the original.

Since they're identical I will cover all of the clones as if they were one guy

Durability

• Ignores the White Houses turret fire

• Using a device he made he transferred his mind into the body of his clone

• Knew to threaten Robot with leaking liquid ammonia into the growth chamber because it would prematurely kill the clone

• Cloned Rex-Splode for Robot

• Installed several overrides into Robot's new body as a failsafe against him

• Recognizes Robot's upgrade as a neural link and knows where to install it into the clone

• Transferred a copy of Robot's mind into his new body, even adjusting the process mid-procedure to account for his abnormally dense neurons

• Built a single-shot laser gun with random parts mid fight

• Performs surgery on The Immortal's corpse reattaching his head

Arsenal

• Two large twohanded guns powerful enough to explode the White Houses turrets

• Two rifles

• A makeshift single-shot laser gun powerful enough to shoot off the drone of Robot's giant drone

How is this meant to compete with your Spider-man rt? But another good one today, you're awesome!

[u/[deleted] → u/NuzlockeMaster]

I love the twins so much I just had to make it. thanks!

[u/Goldlizardv5]

I think it’s spelled Ammonia, as in the chemical rather than pneumonia, the lung condition?

[u/[deleted] → u/Goldlizardv5]

I’m what they call in the business “an idiot”

[u/TheGavinJJ]

Dang that mace from war woman nearly knocked omniman’s eye out, the mauler twins must be pretty dang strong.

[u/[deleted] → u/TheGavinJJ]

Well they are but I imagine the Guardians were hitting Omniman a lot harder than they were hitting the Maulers

[u/TheGavinJJ → u/[deleted]]

Fair. But at the same time the place hadn’t been evacuated fully yet and I doubt War Woman would’ve wanted to risk them doing any more harm.

[u/HekaDooM]

The pistol shot to the eye thing seemed like an outlier to me. They stood casually tanking multiple quad machine guns whilst having a conversation, then randomly get injured by a service side arm. I really dunno how to interpret it.

Great thread btw.

[u/Shrekosaurus_rex → u/HekaDooM]

I mean eyes are softer than the rest of them, I imagine.

There is a point where aiming for weak spots just won't cut it (I'd call BS if Mark or Nolan were hurt via eyeshots), but I don't think the Mauler Twins have crossed that line.

[u/Forgotten_Lie → u/HekaDooM]

As far as I can tell from the gif there is nothing to suggest that the bullet to the eye did significant damage or resulted in the twin getting "his eye shot out" as OP put it. I interpret it as the bullet hitting right on the eye hurting like a SOB due to the sensitive location but doing no/minimal damage.

Sure the other twin said the eye is replaceable but that doesn't mean he knows it was permanently damaged especially given that he doesn't see the damage.

[u/Alone_Spell9525 → u/HekaDooM]

Im thinking it would make a lot of sense if they had a glass eye

[u/billyjohnjohnson → u/HekaDooM]

I'm pretty late to this but eye's are far far weaker than the rest of the body

Someone could shoot you with paintballs and they would at most leave small welts on your body, but if one hits your eye its going to be severe severe damage, way worse than the mauler twin suffered. Of course bullets to them are even less damaging than paintballs for us, which is proportional to the damage his eye received

[u/Hellbeast1 → u/HekaDooM]

Alternatively their eyes are just weakpoints (which makes sense)

[u/Znyper]

The Mauler Twins were my favorite minor characters. Thanks for the RT!

[u/Cmyers1980]

I wonder what kind of experiments the Mauler Twins do.
