* StupidEvil: Jenkins kills the man who created the technology that [[MiraculousMalfunction accidentally]] turned Nick invisible (and thus has the highest chances of figuring out how to replicate it) in order to draw Nick out into the open. Nick has no problem pointing out that this is proof Jenkins is deranged.

* RequiredSecondaryPowers: Part of Nick's problem is that he has only some of these related to invisibility. His food isn't actually invisible until some time after he digests; he vomits the first time he sees himself in the mirror as it's digesting. The only thing that he can put on that's similarly invisible is the outfit he wore when rendered invisible; any dust that lands on him is visible. He can still see just fine, however.

* InvisibleIntrovert: Nick Halloway is a largely asocial character who actively avoids connecting with people. His psych profile reveals that he has no relatives, no real friends, no political beliefs, few interests, and only one recently-initiated sexual relationship. As such, when he gains his eponymous powers, CIA agents remark on the irony of someone so socially invisible becoming ''literally'' invisible.

* CIAEvilFBIGood: The "CIA is Evil" part is present and accounted for full-force with David Jenkins. He desires Nick because he can be an invisible assassin (being a secret agent in and of itself would probably do, but Jenkins makes an emphasis on wanting to use Nick as an invisible ''assassin'') and becomes an ImplacableMan, using all kinds of lures to draw Nick out... even kill the guy who created the technology that turned Nick invisible, or take Alice hostage.

** InvisibilityWithDrawbacks: The primary drawback to Nick Halloway's invisibility is that he cannot turn it off. This causes endless problems for him, not the least of which is that the government wants to force him to become an invisible assassin. Secondary problems include the fact that he only has one set of clothing that is also invisible, so he can be seen when he wears anything else. Also, anything he eats or drinks is perfectly visible as he chews, swallows and digests it, and that can be nauseating to watch.
