Cecil Stedman’s Gameplay
Cecil Stedman, a prominent figure in both the "Invincible" comic books and the Amazon Prime Video series, has been a highly requested addition to the "Invincible VS" roster. Known for his role as a voice in Mark Grayson’s ear, Cecil will enter the fray equipped with specialized weaponry, including plasma pistols, projectile launchers, and grenades, emphasizing a ranged combat style.
