The Invisible Man Returns / int_2bc77899	comment	I Am Not Pretty: Rare male example. Geoffrey claims he's "not much to look at" even when visible. When his appearance is finally revealed at the end of the film, this statement turns out to be completely inexplicable. There's no indication that any other character thinks of him as ugly at all.

The Invisible Man Returns / int_403b6f3	comment	Fainting: Helen faints when she, against Geoffrey's wishes, takes a look at him while he is removing the bandages from his face that conceal his invisibility. Spears after Geoffrey convinces him that he's a ghost, faints on the spot. Exploited when Geoffrey steals a bobby's police uniform complete with gas mask to escape the smoke, he asks Helen to faint so the two can get out unnoticed.

The Invisible Man Returns / int_517d2eb8	type	Contrasting Sequel Main Character
The Invisible Man Returns / int_517d2eb8	comment	Contrasting Sequel Main Character: Jack Griffin in the first film was arrogant and rude to everyone he met, even people who were trying to be nice to him, with the exception of a few humanising moments with his fiancee; he also murders huge numbers of innocent people by derailing a train amongst other crimes. Unsurprisingly he is generally disliked by most people who encounter him. While much of this could be attributed to the effects of the formula, we don't see what he was like before—and he did create the formula and take it willingly because of his own ambition, rather than only in desperation like Geoffrey. Geoffrey Radcliffe, on the other hand, is established initially as a kind and fair man, a Benevolent Boss and Nice to the Waiter type; while the invisibility formula affects his mind and leads to delusions of grandeur, he never kills an innocent person. He is also generally well-liked by everyone except the villains of the film.

The Invisible Man Returns / int_78f72406	comment	Endearingly Dorky: Geoffrey Radcliffe is a sweet and well-meaning man (pre-insanity) with quite a dorky sense of humour that his fiancee Helen clearly finds charming. He is clearly quite out of his depth in the situation he's found himself in (coming across as awkward even while coming up with a clever plan, e.g. "Just...uh, faint, will you, please, darling?"), but luckily for him, nearly everyone who knows him likes him and wants to help him. Even after he starts to lose his mind he still has several dorky moments such as sneezing in the middle of his attempt at pretending to be a ghost.
