Crime pays.
Heist
, a webcomic by Brendan McGinley, is the story of the world's greatest (and thus least known) super-criminal. Geist (real name unknown) is a hedonistic yet professional Phantom Thief whose only confidant is Jin, a sapient magic ring with the power to make him a living ghost: Invisible. Intangible. Unstoppable.
And bored out of his mind.
Fortunately, he’s hired for the most challenging crime ever: to break into the Space Station headquarters of the most powerful Super Team on his earth and steal an omnipotence-granting artifact known as The Halo. Hilarity Ensues.

Tropes used:
- Intangibility: Geist is a case of simultaneous Intangibility and Invisibility. While he doesn't have to worry about falling through floors, there is a two-minute time limit and he can't phase individual body parts.
- Laser Hallway: his very first appearance in costume. Subverted in that he doesn't need the usual fancy gymnastics and just waltzes through intangible, invisible and untouchable.
- Ring of Power: the secret of Geist's success is a sentient magic ring that lets him go invisible and intangible.
