I think there is also a deeper connection between chris and marlo, the way chris brutally killed the rapist(michael's father) I think chris may have been s3xually assulted, and marlo as well, possibly by the same individual or individuals, thats why they share such a tight bond.

I know he was a killer but he genuinely cared for and defended Michael at every opportunity. I’m glad he went to prison but I’m equally as glad he survived. In the show my heart broke for Dukie more than anyone else. He was more deserving of having Namond’s life with Colvin. The kid had no one & he was so lovely & intelligent. Truly heartbreaking.

Invincible is one of my favorite comics because it is a genuine superhero story that is shows the characters having consequences for their actions, doesn't retcon past events, and follows the same vein as Spider-Man where being a superhero doesn't solve one's problems, only adds to them. The Boys comic, on the other hand, shows a cynical world where superheroes are corporate products and the worst outcome is not just possible, but a guarantee. The Boys themselves are sometimes no better than the superheroes. And in the comic, they are even worse than the show. The Boys TV show, takes the potential in the story and makes it more palatable, ergo better. The Invincible TV show, being produced by some of the same people who produced The Boys: Amazon, Seth Rogen, and Evan Goldberg, was infused with some of the same cynical feeling that The Boys TV show had, which totally misses the point of the comic. In the Invincible comic, when violence happens, it hardly ever happens to civilians. The heroes are typically the ones who get the most violent things happen to them. In the Invincible TV show, they relish the violence against civilians. People think Man of Steel was too casual with its civilian deaths, Invincible actively seeks it out and delights in how much carnage it can unleash against regular people.

I feel like both are, just different types of a psychopath. Todd is the more realistic one, he's simply blatantly different from other people, entirely cold-blooded. Lalo is a more traditional depiction of a psychopath (aka what ppl imagine a psychopath to be), charming, yada-yada. One could argue Lalo is a sociopath (so APSD instead of psychopathy) but I don't recall him being hot-headed enough to be one.
