Thragg and Viltrumites Panel

The Thragg and Viltrumites Panel is recognizable before a viewer identifies every character. One figure owns the foreground, a skull turns power into a visible trophy, and a dense formation behind the leader makes the entire cast look organized for conquest. Redraw artists keep that hierarchy while replacing its occupants, so the joke is less a caption than a transfer of intimidating “aura” from Invincible to another fandom.

The structure comes from artwork on Ryan Ottley's DeviantArt account titled “INV 7 hard cover,” which Know Your Meme associates with Invincible: The Ultimate Collection, Volume 7. Meme versions generally concentrate on the side featuring Thragg at the front, Argall's skull in his hand, and the Viltrumite group behind him. Cropping away the rest turns a specific cover into a remarkably clear casting diagram: leader, trophy, ensemble.

The earliest directly verified redraw in this packet arrived on Reddit at 13:37 UTC on April 18, 2026. u/Impossible_Issue9195 called the Dragon Ball piece “The Fallen Constellation” and explicitly described it as a parody of Thragg and the Viltrumites. Vegeta takes the commanding position, Raditz joins the formation, and King Vegeta replaces the skull; the artist said the damaged jaw referred to King Vegeta's death at Frieza's hands. Know Your Meme reports an AI-generated TikTok slideshow by @r.ai.ndom on the same date, but that post and its time of day could not be checked, so the evidence supports parallel early branches rather than a proven single originator.

By April 30, “ALL IS OURS (OC)” had moved the formation into Plants vs. Zombies. The comments became an informal casting room: viewers called the central character “Crazy dave if he locked in,” proposed different placements, asked for the source image, and requested a zombie version. That reaction shows that the composition was already legible as a system of roles, not merely as an Invincible reference.

The next mutation changed presentation as well as cast. On May 1, @irondeficitt posted an Instagram video whose caption included #invincible, #redraw, and #familyguy. The direct metadata therefore supports a Family Guy-associated video redraw, although it does not identify every visible character. This matters because the act of rebuilding the panel could now be part of the meme's presentation, not just the finished illustration.

Adventure Time supplied another authority-based recasting. Know Your Meme reports a TikTok version on May 1, but the first directly inspectable example in the packet is @Imajination16's May 2 X post, “The Land of Ooo,” identified secondarily as a redraw with Princess Bubblegum in Thragg's position. The substitution follows narrative status rather than physical resemblance: the center belongs to the replacement world's most fitting authority figure.

On May 3, @MaytrixXdx's “Mog em gang” widened the casting pool again. Know Your Meme identifies the image as a mixture of Cartoon Network characters, making the group a network-level crossover rather than a faction drawn from one story. The composition stayed intact even as narrative coherence gave way to a lineup of properties.

The format has four stable pieces: the leader, the trophy, the crowd, and their hierarchy. That is enough structure to remain recognizable while leaving artists several choices. They can cast a ruler in the center, turn the skull into a lore-specific victim, arrange allies by status, or deliberately build an impossible crossover. The Dragon Ball version demonstrates the deepest substitution, while the Plants vs. Zombies, Adventure Time, and Cartoon Network versions show how far the cast can change without breaking the template.

It is also a format that displays effort. These are not simple label swaps: the verified examples include finished ensemble illustrations and a video-tagged redraw. That labor makes casting itself part of the appeal. Each new version asks not only “Who belongs here?” but also who deserves the foreground, what should become the trophy, and whether the group should represent one fictional universe or an entire channel's catalog.
