Its branded, so logically they must all have to have one

Easy for him to say. He can stretch that asshole open as wide as he wants.

Doesn't anything she wears or touches go invisible too? I honestly don't know if that was this invisible girl or one of the other non-Fantastic Four invisible girl characters that exist.

[–] southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 52 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I mean, maybe she wanted it to be seen.

[–] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 26 points 2 months ago (1 children)

That's the conclusion I came to upon seeing this previously. She knows what she's doing.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Aren't her and thing brother and sister?

[–] Klear@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

Nah, she and Human Torch.

[–] HubertManne@moist.catsweat.com 3 points 2 months ago

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invisible_Woman

As the Invisible Woman, Susan can render herself wholly or partially invisible at will by bending light around her.[50] She can also render other people or objects fully or partially invisible too, affecting up to 40,000 cubic feet (1,100 m³) of volume.

EDIT:

Invisible Girl

Initially, her powers are limited to making herself invisible. However, before long Sue discovers she can make other things invisible as well as create force fields of invisible energy.

Invisible by bending light.

You can't bend light where thr sun don't shine.

What a blunder I hope some one gets fired for this comic

[–] Acters@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago

So this means she intentionally let it be seen and possibly wanted something even more rock hard? 😉

[–] loaExMachina@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 months ago (2 children)

So I guess it takes a conscious effort for her to make something other than herself invisible, and in the case of the plug, she just forgot.

[–] BlueSquid0741@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 2 months ago

That’s what I think every time I see this comic, she’s forgotten to make it invisible

[–] TheFogan@programming.dev 2 points 2 months ago

Or maybe it's order, obviously the mental concept of superpowers is never really explained, but hypothetically clothes etc... that are being worn are generally automatically assumed, as if it was a concious effort of "remember my shirt, shoes, bra, earing, left sock, right sock". every time would lead one to expect mistakes on the regular.

Logically what would make more sense, would be maybe if she turns invisible, then picks something up or puts something on (or in). It would most likely not become invisible.

[–] Jimmycakes@lemmy.world 17 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Yeah this shit is dumb. It would be invisible like her clothes

[–] Peppycito@sh.itjust.works 22 points 2 months ago

And invisible like her retinas. Wait....

[–] burgersc12@mander.xyz 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

She eats and you see just some half chewed food floating through the air

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

That would be equal parts fascinating and disgusting to watch it go from whole apple, to chewed bits, to sliding downwards, to becoming fecies over the coarse of a few hours.

I mean, you knew the apple eventually becomes poop, but you never thought about the process. There must be a brief moment where its as close to being apple, as it is to being poop. Even if just for a second as it spills into poop territory.

And then she could get into wonder womans invisable plane, and use the bathroom, and poop it out.

[–] ThatGuy46475@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)

In the first movie her clothes don’t turn invisible so she takes them off and then becomes visible again

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

........wasn't that role played by Jessica Alba?

Brb guys. I gotta go watch a movie.

[–] Artyom@lemm.ee 6 points 2 months ago

The 2000s movies say no, most comics say yes.

[–] HubertManne@moist.catsweat.com 3 points 2 months ago

I believe she not only usually makes everything she has invisible but has made other people and objects invisible. She can project it out like her forcefields. I supposed she might have forgotten it was there and not having put thought to it it might have stayed visible but its a stretch. In addition though the uniforms are made from reeds unstable molecules which react to superpowers and is why his clothes stretch and johnys clothes don't burn away and since its branded I would assume it would be made the same.

I like that she called him ben but he called her invisible woman, cause it wouldn't have made sense to call her by name or him thing

[–] RogueBanana@lemmy.zip 17 points 2 months ago

It's probably for some people who never seen the show to understand the joke

[–] Codilingus@sh.itjust.works 10 points 2 months ago

If she had in the plug while she got zapped in outspace, it too could be invisible, like her suit.
