The Invincible universe simply bought even greater. Our upcoming 3v3 tag preventing recreation, Invincible VS, arrives subsequent yr with an abundance of fan-favorite characters like Mark Grayson (Invincible), Rex Splode, Omni-Man and extra.

At Quarter Up, Skybound’s in-house recreation growth studio, it’s been our honor to carry Ella to life, and we’re excited to provide you an prolonged look at what this powerhouse is able to.
Ella Mental radiates positivity and power, all the time the primary to leap in and clear up an issue. She comes from wealth and is the heiress to her household’s fortune. Attributable to her humble outlook and studious, hardworking nature, Ella shortly grew to become her grandfather’s favourite and was given entry to an historic totem — the supply of her superpowers. Ella is nothing like what we’ve seen within the Invincible universe to this point, able to controlling all 4 components: earth, water, fireplace and air.
Capable of pull power from these components, Ella unsurprisingly has a really versatile transfer set. She is primarily a ranged fighter who makes use of her Elemental Auras to regulate her fight strategy and improve her Particular Strikes, that are tremendous impactful in battle. Earth Wall permits Ella to conjure a floating mass of earth in entrance of her that may be destroyed to trigger a shotgun blast assault or used as cowl. Water Needle has Ella producing and compressing water between her palms till she unleashes it like a bullet. Flame Burst summons a cloud of rolling flames that cling of their air earlier than inflicting a serious explosion. Whether or not attacking in-air, on the bottom or together with her specials, Ella will discover a technique to take down any opponent.
The story behind Ella Mental is a novel one. We all the time thought it might be tremendous enjoyable to carry an authentic character into Invincible VS, so our crew approached Robert Kirkman with the thought — and he liked it.
“What was cool was that this concept gave Cory Walker and I a chance to create somebody new,” mentioned Robert Kirkman. “Our manner into the character was a ridiculous-sounding title we got here up with: Ella Mental. We thought, ‘hey, look at that, that seems like an Invincible-type title.’”
From there, Cory Walker gave us an incredible sketch for her.
“The title originated from Robert, and from that got here the element-based powerset,” added Cory Walker. “I simply began throwing stuff on her, and it was essential that every thing be asymmetrical, and simply total cool-looking.”
Opposite to perception, Ella’s mother and father are literally good, an actual change from many others within the Invincible universe. This was a purposeful alternative from Robert, and makes her an much more distinguished addition to the lineup. When setting up Ella’s backstory, Kirkman famous, “The Invincible universe’s factor is that everybody has horrible mother and father, so we wished to provide Ella good mother and father and a constructive household dynamic.”
Past her background, bringing Ella into the sport was a welcome problem for us. While you’re coping with assaults utilizing all 4 components, there’s quite a bit taking place on display screen, and we’ve made certain her gameplay appears superb with out sacrificing efficiency.
Talking of efficiency, we had been so excited to get visionary rapper, Tierra Whack, to voice Ella Mental. We knew our Ella Mental wanted to be the proper mixture of expertise and presence, and Tierra is simply that. She’s additionally an enormous Invincible fan, and her ardour comes by in every voice line. And in case you had been questioning, her dream crew is Ella Mental, Rex Splode and Atom Eve — strong decisions!
I’ll depart you with some ideas for kicking butt as Ella Mental: ensure you really spend time understanding her equipment and getting used to her ranges. She’s wonderful teamed up with Robotic for an excellent juggling pair, and Atom Eve for an immense energy overload.
We’re so excited to see what our gamers pull off with our badass roster of fighters, particularly Ella Mental.
