Now you see me; now you don't! This power is pretty self-explanatory. Invisibility is a power which renders the user unseen to the naked eye. Often, a magical object such as an invisibility cloak is the source of power. It’s a very popular power with a lot of advantages in combat. But what about for everyday use? We chose this power because outside of the realm of comic books, it’s rather difficult to use it in a beneficial way, and one could be tempted to use invisibility to get away with crime. But fear not: we’re here to set you straight.

Just because you can vanish into thin air, doesn’t mean rules and responsibilities disappear as well. Do NOT use your power to sneak around or to break into places undetected. You also should not use it to cheat or spy on others. It’s unethical to intrude into people’s private lives like this. Responsibly using invisibility can be tough. We feel this power is best used as a defense mechanism to stay safe. You may need to hide in a dangerous situation. Becoming invisible can protect you and give you an advantage over an enemy. And as a bonus, you’ll become the hide and seek champion of the world!

Though no one can turn completely invisible, nature has its own take on this power with an adaptation called camouflage. Camouflage is an animal’s ability to conceal itself either by blending in with its surroundings or mimicking another creature. For example, both chameleons and octopuses can change the color of their skin to match their environment, effectively hiding them from predators. Meanwhile, the viceroy butterfly looks exactly like its poisonous cousin, the monarch butterfly, so predators stay away. Thousands of species utilize camouflage every day. We could learn a lot from our wild friends!
