Invisibility/Analysis: Difference between revisions
I assume most invisible streakers still have the food inside them turned invisible. Also stray dust that clings onto them might be invisible, despite a deliberate dust coating to reveal them, clothes, and held objects not being turned invisible.

Line 9:
Some Invisible characters can extend the light-warping field over whatever they touch, eliminating some problems but adding others—conscious selectivity is required, otherwise if they bump into something, that item might blink in and out of sight, making them fairly easy to track, especially crossing a crowded room. The issue of how large an object their field can cover also comes up in many continuities.
[[Invisible Streaker]] is usually the result of lacking (at least some of) these '''Required Secondary Powers'''. A standard aversion of these required secondary powers is ''psychic'' invisibility, which is a mental or hypnotic effect that causes everybody to ignore you. The upside is that this automatically also foils hearing and smell; the downside is that it tends not to work on cameras.
* You could be filmed, sure, but if it's a mere mortal manning the security cameras (or watching them later for whatever reason), your power may extend through the camera to the viewer as well. So again, you're there, but no one sees you. Depends on the inner mechanics of the power.
* Some story exacerbates this power to the point of forcing people to retcon their perception to ignore the psychically invisible character. For example, if he takes your sandwich, you change your memory so that you never had it, and possibly wonder why you bought a Coke but not a sandwich, considering you are hungry.
