Description
The Invisible Man is a public domain character. This (copyrighted) interpretation was realized with HeroMachine3.

Origin:

Thomas Marvel was a poor, homeless tramp himself, when he first met Griffin - a brilliant young university medical student with a psychopathic streak who discovered a formula that made him invisible but was unable to reverse the process and wandered invisibly the streets of London, struggling to survive out in the open, unseen by those around him. After stealing some clothes, including a trenchcoat and hat, Griffin wrapped his head in bandages and covered his eyes with large dark goggles to make himself visible again and took up residence in the village of Iping, where he tried to reverse his experiment with the coerced assistance from Thomas.

To bankroll his experiments Griffin resorted on burglary but was soon robbed himself by Thomas who he pursued to the town of Port Burdock, where he ran into his old schoolmate Dr. Kemp who alerted the police and rallied the people of Port Burdock in order to find and overcome Griffin. After being killed by navvies, the invisibility weared off in death, and Griffin's corpse became visible again.

Thomas Marvel, however, was more lucky. Not only did he get to keep everything that was stolen by Griffin, since the police can't prove whose money he has, he even got more money for telling the story of the Invisible Man which enabled him to rise up from being a poor tramp to being the owner of his own bar which he named after the Invisible Man. As it turned out later, Thomas also had secretly kept Griffin's notes and, after years of consulting with varying scientists, was eventually able to reproduce and even improve the invisibility formula.

Powers:

Thomas can make himself invisible for a limited duration, making people seeing through him, but is still somehow able to direct enough undistorted light to his eyes to retain his full range of vision. In addition to that, he can also make other objects temporarily invisible by touching them.
