The Invisible Man, a novel by H. G. Wells, later revised and reissued under the penname Ralph Ellison, chronicles the life of Griffin, a bulemic Victorian scientist who renders himself invisible by monkeying with acid reflux, a derivative of lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD). The acid in his bile consequently eats away his flesh and bones, leaving him a disembodied consciousness, or ghost without a machine. When he is unable to reverse the process, he becomes mentally unstable.

[edit] Affair with the Invisible Woman
During a visit to twenty-first century America, courtesy of the protagonist of another Wells novel, The Time Machine, Griffin visits New York City, where, it just so happens, he is caught trespassing in the Baxter Building when, urinating in a lobby restroom, he sets off a motion sensor.
Reed Richards, a. k. a. Mr. Fantastic, of the Fantastic Four, who own and occupy the Baxter Building, stabilizes Griffin's emotions by designing a fedora, facial bandages, goggles, trousers, gloves, and boots made of the same unstable molecules of which the Fantastic Four's costumes are fashioned. The Invisible Man is invited to join the superheroes' team, transforming the Fantastic Four into the Fantastic Five, but he declines. However, he has an affair with Richards' bulemic wife, Sue, the team's Invisible Woman, who tells The Invisible Man that "Between you, me, and the sheets, Mr. Fantastic isn't all that fantastic. He always stretches it too big."
[edit] Employment
Griffin finds work as a part-time model for the makers of The Visible Man Anatomy Model, which has transparent "skin" that allows students and voyeurs to "see and study" human entrails as a means of learning about human anatomy. Serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer owned The Visible Man Anatomy Model, which he found "fun," "fascinating," and "beautiful," despite the inability of the model's plastic brain to withstand the "treatments" or batter acid that, in an experiment in which he sought to lobotomize sex slaves, he applied to it through an incision in its prefrontal lobe.
[edit] Return to Victorian London
Upon discovering Griffin's affair with his wife, Richards forces the Victorian scientist into a time machine of Richards' own construction, returning The Invisible Man to nineteenth-century London, where he becomes a nudist, eschewing clothing in favor of the freedom he feels at being naked, especially when invisible, in the presence of others. However, Griffin steals various uniforms and other attire so that he can impersonate a doctor, a police officer, or a transvestite if and when he finds it beneficial to do so, whether for purposes of erotic play or disguise.
[edit] Cruelty to Animals and Pyromania
Griffin later takes up residence with Dr. Kemp, his former university professor. Griffin explains to Kemp how he came to reverse the acid reflux. Initially, he tested the procedure on his neighbor's pussy, but, when the woman noticed her loss, he used the same procedure on himself, making his entire body invisible so that he could escape the police. He then burned down the inn, thereby fulfilling the second requirement in the preparation for becoming a serial killer, the first being cruelty to animals (i. e., his neighbor's pussy).
[edit] Terrorism
The Invisible Man wants Kemp to become his visible partner in a campaign of terror against the world. However, Kemp betrays The Invisible Man, alerting the police to Griffin’s plans. Griffin escapes but returns to kill Kemp, who leads him on a merry chase through the fog-shrouded, gas-lit streets of London. A group of workmen witness Kemp being pummeled by nothing, and one of them throws a shovel at the nothingness, striking Griffin in the head.
[edit] Demise
Griffin, knocked unconscious by the shovel, falls to the ground, and, in a plot hole, becomes visible again so that the workmen can beat him to death where he lies.
[edit] Mistaken Identity
In the novel's epilogue, The Invisible Man returns from the dead as a ghost. He is often mistaken for Casper, various poltergeists, Mr. Clean, Topper, the ghosts of Christmases past, present, and future, and other diembodied spirits.
[edit] Notable Absence
The novel is notable for the absence of fellow Victorian Sherlock Holmes, who expressed a lack of interest in Griffin's case, characterizing its plot and dramatic sophistication as too "elementary."
