The one superpower that works mainly on your own conscience.
means The state of being unable to be seen — whether by magic, science, or simply slipping out of notice.
from Built from Latin invisibilis — in- ('not') plus visibilis ('able to be seen,' from videre, 'to see'). The same videre root gives us vision, visible, and view, so invisibility is literally the grammatical negation of 'seeable,' a word that was already doing philosophical work in Latin long before superheroes borrowed it.
