Line 17:
* Alexa Hamilton used flesh-colored [[Body Paint]], a brunet wig and contact lenses.
* The hero of the Sci-Fi Channel series wasn't permanently invisible, but the artificial gland implanted in his brain that allowed him to become invisible also caused him to go insane if he wasn't regularly injected with a special "counteragent". This was due to the gland being sabotaged during its creation by a traitorous scientist planning to sell it and make the buyers dependent on him to provide the counter agent. Ironically, said scientist {{spoiler|ended up becoming permanently invisible later on (though he got better)}}.
* The invisible man of the film of ''[[The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen]]'' uses [[CoaCoat,t Hat, Mask|a full-length coat, gloves, sunglasses, a hat and white makeup applied to his face]] (which, by happy coincidence, allows the actor to use his real face in close-ups).
 
It is also interesting to note that the overwhelming majority of shows with [[Invisibility]] use the same setup: The person is the product of a government experiment, usually military, and becomes an agent for a top secret government anti-crime task force. While this setup is not limited to this power, the fact that the two are so often coincident probably leads to a lot of [[Recycled Script|Recycled Scripts]]. Expect newly invisible characters to make a point out of realizing that [[I Can't See Myself|they can't see themselves]].
