Griffin, a brilliant yet eccentric scientist, carried out experiment after experiment to prove that the human body could become transparent. Finally, he swallowed certain rare drugs that he had prepared through intense research and testing. As a result of consuming these potent drugs, his body became as transparent as a sheet of glass, though it also remained as solid as glass. This remarkable and unprecedented scientific discovery allowed him to walk around completely unseen by anyone, but it also stripped him of his physical visibility and led him into a life of lawless wandering, crime, and social isolation when he misused his newfound power for selfish and malicious purposes.
