Conquest (character)

Conquest is a supervillain appearing in the American comic book series Invincible, created by writer Robert Kirkman and artist Ryan Ottley. He first appeared in Invincible #61, published by Image Comics in August 2009. Conquest is a high-ranking member of the Viltrumite Empire and one of the most brutal villains in the series.

Conquest is one of the most experienced and strongest members of the Viltrumite race of the Invincible comic book series. He also endured the Great Purge and the Scourge Virus, a genetically engineered disease that killed off the Viltrumite population and left lasting harm on the majority of its survivors. Due to his fragile body, Conquest was gravely hurt in combat with several Rognarrs, a virtually unbeatable lineage reported to be among the sole weaknesses for Viltrumites. The assault left him with a severed-off right arm, pockmarked skin, and loss of his right eye. In spite of these lasting disabilities, Conquest equipped himself with a prosthetic arm and remained in service to the Viltrum Empire.

Conquest was brought into play after the "Invincible War" comic book tale as a way to raise the stakes of the current struggle involving Mark Grayson (Invincible) and the Viltrum Empire.
