It is currently unclear how this power helps its users to avoid being seen. Invisibility seems to be a passive power which can operate constantly without effort or concentration, although it can also be "turned off" at will.

Users of this ability are [[ability immunity|not invisible to each other]]&mdash;[[Claude Rains|Claude]] is not invisible to [[Peter Petrelli]] when Peter is mimicking his power, nor is Peter invisible to Claude. Whether this is some form of ability immunity, or whether it is the part of the ability which allows users to "see things that would normally be invisible" is unknown.

It is unclear whether the ability also hides sound&mdash;Claude covers Peter's mouth when they are hiding from [[Nathan]] and [[Mohinder]] to stop Peter from making noise (''[[The Fix]]''). However, despite making noise in the streets of New York, nobody seems to hear the two talking. (''[[Distractions]]'')

While users of this power are invisible to normal sight, they can be detected using infrared imaging devices. (''[[Unexpected]]'')

[[The Haitian|The Haitian's]] [[Mental manipulation|ability]] to block other [[Powers|special abilities]] appears to be ineffective against this power. (''[[Unexpected]]'')

===[[Claude Rains]]===
Standing in plain sight at a sidewalk cafe, Claude was able to pick up a wallet from a purse on a table, remove the money from it, and put it back in the purse without anyone paying any attention to him. However, when he and Peter began struggling and knocked over a table, people nearby noticed something odd happening, even though they didn't see the two men involved.

Claude has some ability to [[ability extension|make objects that he picks up]] or carries invisible: his clothes, for example, turn invisible with him. A pretzel he stole on another occasion, however, did not immediately become invisible. In fact, his [[assignment tracker]] profile says that Claude "is able to extend his ability to objects and people outside of himself by making physical contact with them while he is invisible. His ability allows him to see what would otherwise be invisible to the average person." Why objects become invisible in some circumstances but not in others isn't yet known. Additionally, Claude can make only certain parts of his body become invisible--when he was partners with [[Haram]], he was able to make only his hand invisible. (''[[Golden Handshake, Part 1]]'')

===[[Peter Petrelli]]===
Invisibility is one of Peter's more developed powers. Indeed he has spent far more time actually using it than any of his other abilities, due to the extended period he spent training invisibly with [[Claude Rains|Claude]]. This may be why turning invisible has frequently been his first response when threatened. Peter has demonstrated the ability to [[ability extension|turn at least one other person]] that he is touching invisible with him (''[[Landslide]]'').

Invisibility is the ability to walk in plain view of other people without being seen.

Characters

Limits

Claude has shown his ability mainly when in danger, and that he can make up to two people invisible by extending his power to them (Ambush from an Outside Source). He has also used his ability to steal money from someone. (Jack the Ripper). Claude has demonstrated the ability to turn only parts of his body invisible, as he did when he showed Derek his ability and turned only his arm invisible (Hidden in the Darkness). While he invisible, he is also able to touch things which do not turn invisible, as he did in (Live Together Die Alone).

It is currently unclear how this power helps its users to avoid being seen. Invisibility seems to be a passive power which can operate constantly without effort or concentration, although it can also be "turned off" at will.
