* ''WesternAnimation/DaveTheBarbarian'': In one episode, the heroes are struggling with invisible warriors. When the FridgeLogic of how they don't bump into each other is brought up, they get the idea that maybe invisible people can somehow see each other, and if they turn invisible themselves, then they'll be able to see their enemies. The idea actually works, and the heroes are able to easily defeat their foes...after which Oswidge reveals that he could have just used his magic to just remove their invisibility.

* The [[IronicName Servants of Mercy]] in ''Literature/TechnomagiaISmoki'' wear {{Invisibility Cloak}}s that polarise light, resulting in strange flashes when they walk in front of polarising surfaces such as glass. This gives the protagonist the idea that he could see them through a filter - so he has a pair of glasses made with smoky quartz lenses. It works perfectly.

** Averted with the Spectre, which, if it uses the Shadowhold ability, will turn invisible and run away. You can still ''see'' the Spectre while it runs, but even if you know where it is, you can't attack it until the shadow clone it created is dealt with (unless you use explosives, of course).
