Intangibility	comment	Cousin to invisibility, intangibility refers to a state where a (usually visible) entity cannot interact physically with other matter. Everything just phases through the affected object. Those questions you have about how this could possibly work? Don't ask them. A truly intangible person would not be able to stay put on the Earth's surface when the planet's own gravity should be constantly drawing him towards the core. How he or she can generate enough friction and mass to remain on the Earth and move around, let alone grip things if the writer is feeling charitable, is also likely to be ignored (occasionally these problems are avoided by also giving the character the ability to fly). Again, don't ask why. Asphyxiation is generally not an issue, potential breathing problems due to air passing through lungs are typically ignored outright. If they're stuck in an intangible state for a while, starvation from being unable to pick up food or digest anything usually isn't brought up either. Also, don't expect anyone to know that they shouldn't be able to see anything while intangible, since light would pass straight through their retinas, leaving them unable to create a visual image. You can forget hearing too, air passing though you means nothing registers on the parts of the inner ear that detect sound waves. Also, let's ignore the fact that rendering a part of your body intangible would have the same effect as cutting it off. Run those same reasons in reverse, and it becomes clear that a truly intangible person would be incredibly boring as he could neither interact with the world nor even be detected by it. Fortunately, these pesky real life physics rules tend to be ignored in-story thanks to Rule of Cool or Hand Waved as some kind of Your Mind Makes It Real effect. Although intangible characters will pass right through walls, chairs, tables and such, they'll rarely have any problem properly interacting with floors, stairs or any other structures people are meant to walk upon. They may even be able to ride in or on vehicles, with the odds of success rapidly increasing with size. Anything big enough to walk around inside is quite likely, a ship or spaceship is more or less guaranteed. Note that once we've seen someone walk through the character to establish the parameters of their intangibility, people will go out of their way not to walk through them too often as to keep the need for expensive special effects to a minimum. It's usually Hand Waved as being an intensely creepy experience to see a living person's insides up close. For a mentor, intangibility is an opportunity. Being a Spirit Advisor or Virtual Ghost lets them accompany the hero into dangerous places without ever being at personal risk. The ability to render oneself intangible at will occasionally turns up as a superpower. Sometimes the power can work selectively on the user's body (allowing him to voluntarily interact with objects while intangible) or extend further from the user's body (allowing him to make other objects and people intangible) Heroes use this ability to save their teammates from danger. Anti-heroes and villains use it to put their hands through people's chests and squeeze their hearts. It is frequently a given that while no one else can touch them, two characters separately rendered intangible by the same process will have no problem interacting with each other. May be Defied with Touch the Intangible. A sub-trope is Tragic Intangibility, where this ability is used to say something about how lonely or miserable a character is. See also Projected Man, Astral Projection and Super Smoke.

Intangibility / int_1825e407	comment	This is Kitty Pryde/Shadowcat's mutant ability. Her ability to not fall through the floor, while not explained well, has nothing to do with the actual, physical floor (which she can pass through if she chooses) and, as such, can be used without a floor. She often walks on air by visualizing an invisible staircase. Later works have treated it as slow flight. This tends not to show up in adaptations. In Astonishing X-Men, Cassandra Nova Mind Rapes Kitty and causes her to phase deep into the Earth — another issue has Kitty accidentally lose control enough to phase through the floor when she and Peter Rasputin first do the deed, in an amusing display of Power Perversion Potential.

The mechanism and Required Secondary Powers are dealt with in a fairly tidy way - his powers function by selectively moving slightly in a fourth spatial dimension in a 3D universe. Since there's no matter elsewhere on the 4D axis in our universe, Mitch effectively can pass through solid objects by moving around them in 4D, but is not able to breathe while phased and makes use of SCUBA equipment. He keeps his feet in 3D when touching the ground to avoid falling through the Earth.

Any sorcerer also has this as a potential ability, and Belgarath uses this to finish his duel with Zedar the Apostate: phasing them both into solid rock, going deep underground, then letting him go, stuck there while he returned. He specifically noted this to be a Fate Worse than Death for the following reasons: (1) The victim was himself a sorcerer (thus gifted with eternal life) so couldn't die of natural causes, (2) No other sorcerer could match the particular signature of Belgarath's sorcery so couldn't match the spell to pull him out, and (3) Belgarath himself did this to make him pay for several millennia of evil so felt no inclination to undo it himself.

Intangibility / int_30a5ebfd	comment	In Naruto Tobi is able to become intangible by using the same space/time manipulation he uses to teleport. The primary weaknesses are that he cannot attack while intangible, he cannot be intangible while teleporting himself or others (and the more he tries to teleport the longer it takes), and he can only stay intangible for five minutes in a row. He found a novel way to get over the first one: by attaching a chain to arm manacles, he runs toward people, phases through them when his body would touch them, and then turns solid again just in time for the chain to hit the target. His ability is eventually explained: he instinctively teleports the portion of his body that would be hit by an attack into an alternate dimension to keep it safe. Kakashi and Naruto exploit this by attacking him in both dimensions at the same time.

Intangibility / int_4522fd1	comment	Whateley Universe: Phase (Ayla Goodkind) has the ability to become a number of variants of intangible, most notably fully intangible, nearly intangible, or super-dense, so he's Nigh Invulnerable. This is supposed to be an extra-dimensional density-changing ability (though according to the school testing wonks, it's not, but the ensuing scientific babble is hard to understand). While intangible (or close to it), he can fly, and at his most dense, he is almost impervious to damage. But when he first manifested as a mutant and got his powers, he couldn't control them and had trouble not sinking through the floor, or going super-dense and smashing his bathroom to shards. Or, for that matter, not going intangible and leaving parts of his clothing behind. He also has a fun/hilarious Required Secondary Power: if he becomes solid while phased through something, the other object disappears. Forever. This results in lasting Clothing Damage (and, y'know, other damage) if he phases in and out quickly, but turns a scary situation into lots of awesome when he has an I-beam stuck through his chest as part of his Test To Destruction experimentation by his family's anti-mutant science labs. While intangibility in general is a fairly uncommon power in this setting, Phase has a form that is particularly rare: the only one other mutant is known to the same variant is Tinsnip, one of the deadliest assassins in the world. This has not helped Ayla's self-loathing at being a mutant or fear of becoming a danger to others at all. There is the Wraith, who has the power to make things intangible, as said here:

Intangibility / int_468bebb0	comment	Discworld Death is more than capable of walking through walls. Rather than becoming intangible, he's simply so real that the rest of the universe may as well be made of cobwebs.. His granddaughter Susan can do this as well, describing it as walking in the moments when the obstacles don't exist; since Death (and her) are eternal, they're timeless in such a way that the obstacles in the way are so transient they might as well not exist. This ability is lost when Time Stands Still, as happens in Thief of Time. She doesn't like using it, since she wants to have a normal existence, but it's rather useful, and off putting when she can't use it. Ghosts are generally intangible. Or almost so. The mechanics of this are discussed in Wyrd Sisters, where the ghost of the old king observes that of course you have to be able to touch yourself or you'd fall apart, and is able to exert physical force on things with practice and great effort. You can tell that a gag in the Animated Adaptation is a later addition because it features a headless ghost's head being accidentally carried away from its body on a tray, and that just makes no sense after what's been said in the book.

Intangibility / int_62570927	comment	Marvel Universe: The Avengers: The Vision can shift his molecular density from intangible to denser-than-diamond. He makes frequent use of this power to reach into other beings and dodge attacks. Daredevil: The villain villain Death-Stalker is trapped in a dimension partially connected to Earth's dimension, and while naturally invisible and immaterial, can become visible and intangible, invisible and tangible, or visible and tangible for a few hours at a time. He also wears gloves that use microwaves to give him a "death grip". He dies when he shifts to full tangibility to grasp Daredevil with the gloves while halfway through a tombstone; the trauma and shock kills him instantly. Doctor Strange can split into an 'ectoplasmic' self and his physical body. The former is intangible, and even could go right through the core of the planet Earth as a shortcut around the surface. Fantastic Four: The Red Ghost has this ability. Like Shadowcat, he can float to avoid the falling through the floor problem. While he is intangible, he doesn't have to eat or breathe for a very long time. He can make parts of his body be intangible, so he can carry objects while staying relatively safe. Guardians of the Galaxy: The minor villain Brahl can turn intangible at will to keep from being hurt. Subverted when he's decked anyway by a hero who's also intangible. Iron Man: The Ghost is an industrial terrorist who uses his own technology to become intangible, invisible, and fly at will. In one issue, he tricks Spymaster into accepting one of his intangibility devices, only to take it from him halfway through a wall, killing Spymaster instantly. The Silver Surfer can do this due to his manipulation of molecules but doesn't do it often. His movie counterpart does this quite a bit, particularly in his introductory scene, in which he phases through buildings, cars, the Human Torch, and even his own board. Thunderbolts: Moonstone can turn intangible. She has outright flight to deal with the falling-through-the-ground aspect. She doesn't use it much, already being an energy-blasting Flying Brick — in fact, she deliberately never uses it while masquerading as the heroic Meteorite, on the grounds that it's too distinctive a clue to her real identity. X-Men: This is Kitty Pryde/Shadowcat's mutant ability. Her ability to not fall through the floor, while not explained well, has nothing to do with the actual, physical floor (which she can pass through if she chooses) and, as such, can be used without a floor. She often walks on air by visualizing an invisible staircase. Later works have treated it as slow flight. This tends not to show up in adaptations. In Astonishing X-Men, Cassandra Nova Mind Rapes Kitty and causes her to phase deep into the Earth — another issue has Kitty accidentally lose control enough to phase through the floor when she and Peter Rasputin first do the deed, in an amusing display of Power Perversion Potential. The villain Shinobi Shaw has the same power. Being a villain, he uses the 'heart squeezing' as his trademark killing move. He also openly admits it can be used for peeping on girls (not that he needs it with his cash).

Intangibility / int_70814599	comment	Stargate SG-1: They did this at least three times: A race of highly advanced humans had developed this technology; Daniel was once thus afflicted by a mysterious alien crystal skull; and Carter and Mitchell were placed in an intangible state by a security device belonging to Merlin (secretly an advanced alien). The Carter/Mitchell version led to an amusing moment when, after another character walks through both of them, they start poking each other to determine that they are, in fact, tangible to each other. They also hung a lampshade on it, when an actress in the Show Within a Show about the Stargate asked why they didn't fall through the floor, and no one had an answer. In fact, this gets used so much that SG-1 gets Wrong Genre Savvy about it. In The Road Not Taken, Carter is running experiments on the device that put her and Mitchell out of phase previously. She is transported to an alternate universe and it takes about two weeks for her to figure out how to get back. Meanwhile, her teammates assume the device malfunctioned and she's stuck out of phase so they take turns "keeping her company", ie talking to an empty room. Meanwhile, in that universe, she uses a similar device, powered by the entirety of the US power grid, to phase the whole planet, protecting it from orbital bombardment. There was an episode where Carter, trapped in an Asgard research facility, used the holographic comm system to help O'Neill and Teal'c rescue Thor from a Ha'Tak in orbit. Since the Asgard lack Hard Light technology she was able to distract guards and scout ahead, but proved less useful when they needed someone to rewire doors.

The mechanics of this are discussed in Wyrd Sisters, where the ghost of the old king observes that of course you have to be able to touch yourself or you'd fall apart, and is able to exert physical force on things with practice and great effort. You can tell that a gag in the Animated Adaptation is a later addition because it features a headless ghost's head being accidentally carried away from its body on a tray, and that just makes no sense after what's been said in the book.

By understanding how all of reality is fundamentally mana, he can revert selective areas of matter temporarily or permanently back into mana. This enables him to walk through walls (because they are thin and transparent mana), walk on air (because he is mana) and either avoid or absorb magical attacks (because all magic, by definition, uses mana). The limitations are anything with a soul or anything connected to someone's soul, because that soul instinctively resists. This ability comes packaged with the Required Secondary Powers because it requires more than simply acknowledging the fact that all of reality is mana, so it avoids the problems mentioned in the trope's description.

Anguish explains that her power comes from altering her body's density, meaning she can also increase it to the point that she's strong and fast enough to kick Superman around. She complains that her power activates automatically, which is useful against sneak-attacks, but not so great when she actually wants someone to touch her. Superman only manages to hit her once, by breaking the ground that she's standing on. In the end, Superman resorts to fixing and returning her beloved mother's locket, at which point she leaves.

Intangibility / int_960062b7	comment	My Hero Academia features Mirio Togata, a hero with the name of "Lemillion" who has the Permeability Quirk that more or less addresses all the Fridge Logic brought up in this page's entry. Whenever he activates his ability, he becomes unable to see, hear, or breathe, being able to only sense his fall to the Earth's core (because he somehow keeps his mass). The only reasons this power is not considered outright Blessed with Suck is because a) he can turn individual body parts intangible instead of just his entire body and b) he has a specific Required Secondary Power that causes him to instantly eject back up to the surface when he deactivates his intangibility while phasing through a large mass of something (thus averting Tele-Frag). Through serious training with Sir Nighteye, he has managed to manipulate this ejection mechanism to be able to essentially move around as if he were teleporting, making his fighting style reminiscent of reverse whack-a-mole. The only sketchy part is that he's still visible while using his ability (which shouldn't be possible since the aforementioned lack of sight comes from light going through him), although it's unknown if that's purely an artistic choice from the author's part. Oh, and there's one more minor (though appreciated by the readers, some especially so) drawback to these powers â€” with the exception of his supersuit which was specifically made not to, his clothes can't phase with him. In combat, he can manipulate parts of his body to bypass any attempts at blocking his punches such as through a shield or arm block and hitting the target behind it, which works to avert Shoot the Hostage situations where he kicks toward said hostage and phases his leg through them, and then resolidifies it to knock the hostage holder down. The villain Overhaul exploits this however by having a subordinate shoot a Quirk-destroying bullet at Eri, a young girl, forcing Mirio to jump in the way and remain solid to Take The Bullet for her, thus ends up losing his powerful Quirk for good...Or so we thought.

Vados reveals that what Hit is really doing is using the "time" he's "skipped" with his Time Skip technique to create a Pocket Dimension, which partially phases him out of local time-space. The downside is that he's limited in his attacking options while doing this and he can't keep it up forever. Once Goku figures out that Hit is "not there", he's able to break down the pocket universe and attack Hit anyway.

Intangibility / int_9e2f90f4	comment	Some users with Logia Devil Fruits in One Piece can do this by transforming into their particular power's element (Ace, God Enel, Admiral Kizaru), becoming immune to most forms of conventional attacks. They're not technically intangible per se, their bodies just take on the properties of their element, which can give off the illusion of being intangible (you can't really punch fire or light). The only way around this is to attack them with an element-specific weakness, or be able to use a form of Haki known as the "Color of Armament", which allows its user to bypass Devil Fruit-based defenses and forcibly interact with the Logia user's body as if it were normal. This is also a part of Perona's Devil Fruit power. The Hollow-Hollow Fruit makes Perona a "Ghost Woman", allowing her to generate and control ghosts that drain positive emotions from people. She can perform Astral Projection, leaving her physical body behind while enabling her own spirit to move freely. She can't make herself tangible without returning to her body, so while she scares Usopp with the threat of 'heart squeezing' mentioned elsewhere on this page, she can't actually do it (her negative hollows also don't work on him because he's already a pessimist). Charlotte Katakuri looks like he has this similar to a Logia, to the point not even Luffy throwing a bunch of Armament Haki-enhanced strikes at all managed to hurt him, but it's subverted. His Devil Fruit isn't a Logia but a special Paramecia that let him generate and turn his body into mochi to manipulate at will. This manipulation combined with his Observation Haki giving him Combat Clairvoyance allows him to shape his body around strikes and prevent them from hitting him at all.

Intangibility / int_a03824e8	comment	The DCU: Negative Man from Doom Patrol can leave his body as an energy-form that can control its tangibility. The Flash can do this for about a few seconds, by "rapidly vibrating his molecules". When Wally West initially took on the identity, he was considerably depowered compared to Barry, including being unable to do this. After coming into his own, he developed the ability, but it turns out he leaves Speed Force behind; things he vibrates through will explode shortly afterwards. Hero Hotline features Fred, the invisible, intangible man — the problem being that he can't interact with his surroundings at all. It's speculated that Fred isn't real and is just a ploy by super-ventriloquist Voice-Over to pick up two paychecks, but V/O talks to Fred when nobody else is around, so maybe not. Johnny Sorrow, usually a Justice Society of America villain, is intangible as long as he is wearing his golden mask. When it is removed, he becomes tangible... but his face kills anyone who sees it. He can take it off himself even though he's intangible. All natives of the planet Bgztl have voluntary intangibility powers. This is the home planet of Phantom Girl from Legion of Super-Heroes. In the Threeboot version, it's explained as Bgztl being a planet in another dimension which exists in the same space as Earth and her shifting her mass between our dimension and that one as a unique power. She's visible in both worlds (which gets awkward in the one she's not paying attention to) and is solid and can sense in only one at a time. This solves the floor problem (and causes a new one when someone has to go to the core of a planet) when you realize that she can't avoid the planet by shifting to a dimension with an identical planet in the same place. Martian Manhunter has this power, also having flight powers so that he doesn't have to worry about falling through the floor. This is one of the powers of The Spectre. In War World, Superman tries to punch him and his fist goes right through the Spectre. Supergirl: In The Supergirl-Batgirl Plot, Supergirl is flying over the countryside when she runs into a mysterious, spectral giant hand. When Kara charges at the mysterious thing menacing her, she flies through it. In Supergirl (1982), Kara faces down a mutant super-villain who has multiple powers, included the ability to become intangible. In Bizarrogirl, Kara reveals that the Flash taught her how to vibrate at Super-Speed to slip her molecules between those of solid objects in order to deal with enemies that try to freeze her by coating her in ice. Kara uses his lessons to escape when Bizarrogirl tries to encase her in stone. However, it's a last resort because she is usually not fast enough. Superman: In Who Took the Super out of Superman?, Xviar uses an alien device to phase through the wall connecting his apartment with Clark Kent's while the owner is away. In Krypton No More, Protector can change the molecular density of his body to turn himself intangible. In The Great Phantom Peril, the cover of Action Comics #471 shows Superman's fist going through Faora's spectral form. New 52 introduces a new Superman villain named Anguish, a woman with this power. Anguish explains that her power comes from altering her body's density, meaning she can also increase it to the point that she's strong and fast enough to kick Superman around. She complains that her power activates automatically, which is useful against sneak-attacks, but not so great when she actually wants someone to touch her. Superman only manages to hit her once, by breaking the ground that she's standing on. In the end, Superman resorts to fixing and returning her beloved mother's locket, at which point she leaves.

She can also apply this property to others, such as "ghosting" Buzz inside the LGM's corrupted Uni-Mind to purify it at its core. On one occasion, she ghosts into Buzz's body. Ew.

Eventually, it is established that all vampires can do this. Carelessly phasing through matter can, however, result in severed body parts. Susuki later demonstrates that you can actually touch an intangible vampire by becoming intangible yourself. She compares this phenomenon to magnetism: two vampires in similar phasing states will repel each other, while those in different states will harmlessly phase through (as a bonus, if both vampires become intangible, they can still phase through solid matter even if they can't phase through each other). Susuki is also clever enough to weaponize this ability by letting someone physically attack her while she's intangible, allowing her enemy's body to phase through her own, before becoming tangible again and leaving them one limb short while Susuki only gets a hole in her body (which she can easily heal by drinking a few drops of blood).

Both powers are lost when his inventor turns Joker and Mod Man can no longer be repaired. The Astronomer has this as one of his powers. It backfires when he tries to use another one of his powers, a mental shield, to protect from another character's literal Death Glare... and since he can only use one power at a time, and was halfway through a wall... Wraith is another character with intangibility who decides to make a living as a Classy Cat-Burglar. However, as she's got maybe a ten pound limit to objects she can carry while phased, she performs her heists in a mask and bikini and focuses on paper goods (such as high-currency bills, bonds, etc.).

Intangibility / int_e6fcc408	comment	In Tokyo ESP the protagonist, Rinka, gains this power after a freak incursion with a flying penguin and glowing, flying fish. Notably, there are some aspects to this power (which is given the name 'Physical Permeation') that allows it to work within the bonds of reality. First of all, while Rinka can use this power consciously, more often than not it's more of a defense mechanism that springs up to make bullets and swords useless against her. It also only allows her to phase through non-living organisms (with the exception of tiny creatures like spiders and ants) but can spread to whatever she's wearing so her clothing won't fall off her, though the first time she uses this ability leaves her in just her underwear. More to the point, the reason she doesn't fall down into the core of the earth is because, just as her body unconsciously uses Physical Permeation to prevent bullets from harming her, it also prevents Rinka from unconsciously falling through the floor (the first time she used her power, falling through the floor was a freak accident because she didn't know what she was doing.) and when she does use the power to phase through the ground, she can always catch herself because she's able to unphase parts of her body to act as 'hooks.' She notably used this to escape a chokehold Nadja had her in on an elevator by phasing through the floor while using her foot as an anchor to stay 'in' the elevator, and to keep a hold of Minami after the later tried teleporting away from her by using her hand as a hook to keep her on a rooftop.

Intangibility / int_ff9ab17f	comment	Star Trek: The Next Generation: In "The Next Phase", Geordi and Ro Laren were thus afflicted by an experimental Romulan cloaking device which also served as a "phasing device". It made them invisible (but not to each other) and intangible, making them think they had died and were ghosts. The trope is played straight in a number of ways. Geordi and Ro could walk on floors, ride the turbolifts, and of course the Enterprise itself. They could see, hear, and breathe. Trope slightly averted for dramatic purposes in that they couldn't eat or drink, setting a limit on how long they could survive in that state. A Romulan enemy in the same situation was similarly unaffected by the floor, but flew out the walls when pushed. He also sat in a chair, which rocked slightly when he stood (though it is possible that this chair was phased as well). Communicators didn't work, but Geordi's visor and the Romulan's disruptor did. Eventually, they learn by overhearing Data that the matter they pass through leaves a signature, and when Geordi's hand is hit with the beam Data is using to clean the radiation, it becomes slightly "less" substantial: he feels resistance now. Geordi realizes Data's technique can undo the process, so Ro eventually overloads the disruptor, causing a massive burst of the signature. Data orders the room flooded with the radiation, and everyone is stunned to see Geordi and Ro literally rematerialize before their eyes. It's later revealed that the UFP also experimented with such a interphasic cloaking with a ship called the Pegasus (the episode's title). It can render an entire ship both invisible and intangible. but a treaty forbade it and the system was Gone Horribly Wrong. It is heavily implied that transphasic torpedoes work this way to get past defenses.
