Players eager to peek behind the curtain at Invincible VS have uncovered what appears to be a substantial chunk of the fighting game's planned DLC roster, complete with voice lines and character interactions that hint at developer Quarter Up's roadmap for months ahead.
The leaked files surfaced this week on social media, shortly after the game's launch on April 30, 2026 across PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S. Among the apparent DLC additions are previously confirmed characters like Immortal and Universa, alongside newer names including the Mauler Twins, Damien Darkblood, Oliver, Angstrom, Dinosaurus, and Volcanikka.
The most intriguing discovery involves Agent Spider, the Prime Video Invincible series' legally distinct stand-in for Spider-Man who debuted in Season 2 of the animated show. Gameplay footage and voice lines reveal how the character will interact with the base roster, but it's the exchange with Omni-Man that delivers the real payoff for longtime Spider-Man fans.
Quarter Up brought back J.K. Simmons to reprise his role as Mark's father in the fighting game. Simmons, of course, previously inhabited the role of J. Jonah Jameson across multiple Spider-Man film projects, making the casting choice a knowing nod to the Marvel legend. In Agent Spider's supposed interactions with Omni-Man, the writing leans hard into that nostalgia.
One line stands out in particular: "You're a criminal, a vigilante, a public menace, what are you doing in my universe?" The phrasing, especially the "public menace" bit, mirrors the exact language Jameson has hurled at Spider-Man countless times throughout the comics and films. It's the kind of detail that suggests Quarter Up understands its audience and isn't shy about having fun with Simmons' dual legacy.
Additional evidence supporting the leak has emerged over the past few days. Character models have surfaced online, and new footage appears to show a near-finished, playable version of Angstrom, suggesting these characters are further along in development than anyone outside the studio expected.
Invincible VS itself launched to solid critical reception, with reviewers praising its "hard hitting and fast paced 3v3 tag fighting" as a welcome callback to systems like those found in Killer Instinct. Whether these leaks prove accurate remains to be seen, but the detail and apparent polish of the uncovered files suggest Quarter Up has plenty in the pipeline.
Author Emily Chen: "The Simmons callback is too perfect to be accidental, and if Quarter Up nailed this kind of fan service in the leaked files, the actual DLC reveals could be genuinely fun."
