*JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: At the start, Caine seems like an egotistical but charming genius who cares about his team behind his snarky attitude. After becoming invisible, [[spoiler: Caine develops into a really awful and abrasive person, reaching the point of sexually assaulting his neighbour, killing his mentor and then moving onto his coworkers. While the serum likely screwed up his mind, it implied deep down he was always a violent and unstable sociopath who hid it behind a veneer of charm]].

Hot Scientist is no longer a trope
Deleted line(s) 63,64 (click to see context) :
* HotScientist: Elisabeth Shue as a molecular biologist. Sarah, the vet, is pretty hot as well.
