Aaron Paul to voice Powerplex in Invincible Season 3

Amazon officially announced Aaron Paul’s addition to the Invincible season 3 cast on January 22, 2025. The actor, well-recognized for starring as Jesse Pinkman in AMC’s Breaking Bad, will lend his voice to the supervillain Powerplex.

Powerplex is seeking revenge on Mark as he believes the superhero is responsible for his sister’s death. The villain’s tragic story makes him a formidable enemy to Invincible. He has the power to absorb energy, so whenever someone attacks him, he can use their strength against them.

Paul is an experienced voice actor. He played Todd Chavez on BoJack Horseman for six years. The actor has also lent his voice to animated characters in shows like Tron: Uprising and Robot Chicken and films like Kingsglaive: Final Fantasy XV and Help! I'm a Fish.

The actor shot to wide fame with his appearance on Breaking Bad. He starred as the co-lead in all five seasons of the show between 2008 and 2013 and earned several accolades for his performance, including multiple Primetime Emmy Awards.

Apart from Aaron Paul, another Breaking Bad alum will be heard in Invincible season 3. Jonathan Banks, who starred as Mike Ehrmantraut in the crime drama and its prequel Better Call Saul, will play an undisclosed character in the animated series.
