Line 3: {{quote\|'''Kevin''': It's some kind of invisible barrier.

Line 111 ⟶ 112: === Real Life === * This is probably what a real-life [[Invisibility Cloak]] will look like in 5 or 10 years.

Line 138 ⟶ 139: A few stealth powers, like Cloak of Darkness and Shadowfall, make you look more like a cloud of smoke to yourself and your allies. * Espio the Chameleon in ''[[Sonic Heroes]]''. ** Oddly, not only will he be undetected by enemies, but [[Guide Dang It~~/Platform Games~~\|he also passes through lasers]] (of the [[Laser Hallway]] variety only) as if they aren't there, and this is necessary at at least one point (when looking for all 20 of the casino chips in BINGO Highway, as the last one is behind some lasers). * The active camo in ''[[Halo: Reach]]''. The user's transparency decreases when they move. === ~~Webcomics~~Web Comics === * ''[[Bob and George]]'' has [http://www.bobandgeorge.com/archives/010112c Megaman's ghost] Line 176 ⟶ 177: == Completely Invisible == === Film === * ''[[Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (film)\|Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban]]''.: The footprint method is used ~~in the third movie~~ when Harry wears the cloak outside while it's snowing. However in any shot where he's putting on or taking off the cloak, it falls into the category of [[Special Effects Failure\|distortion]] due to the use of the [[Chroma Key\|green-screen technique]] to make the cloak appear invisible. The [[Harry Potter (video game)\|video game version]] of ''[[~~Harry Potter/~~Harry Potter and ~~The~~the Philosopher's Stone (novel)\|Philosopher's Stone]]'' uses the Partly Transparent method. And although we can see Harry the whole time, they didn't bother to put a cloak on him—you know, the thing that's actually supposed to be making him invisible in the first place. ** Slyly invoked by the British Library's travelling ''Harry Potter'' exhibit in 2017-2018. Harry's cloak is the centerpiece of one section, where it's displayed in a Lucite case. All you could see was a hanger. * ''[[The Lord of the Rings (film)\|The Lord of the Rings]]'' trilogy, with Frodo. The only way we could tell where he was in the last part was by his footprints. ** Bilbo was invisible to the audience while wearing the ring. However, when Frodo wore the ring, we saw a distorted version of reality with him in it.
