* ''WesternAnimation/ExoSquad'': The Pirate Clans ability ot cloak their ships is their main advantage over the [=ExoFleet=], and are willing to share once the two join forces.

* ''WesternAnimation/ExoSquad'': The Pirate Clans have this as their main advantage over ExoFleet, and are willing to share once the two join forces.

* In ''ComicBook/{{Asterix}}'', a spy is sent to observe a palace construction in Egypt. He blends into the background terrain and also takes the form of building blocks to hide. Naturally, [[GoneHorriblyRight he's added to the construction]].

* Ghost, an ''ComicBook/IronMan'' villain, has an armor suit which allows him to become invisible and {{intangib|ility}}le.

* In ''ComicBook/LokiAgentOfAsgard'', Loki owns a magical cloak of invisibility. They also ''borrow'' (steal) an invisibility pendant (magical) from Lorelei and an invisibility belt (technological) from Sigurd. All these together are enough invisibility to hide them even from [[DemonLordsAndArchdevils Mephisto]].
* The various versions of ''ComicBook/PhantomLady'' typically have technology which allows Phantom Lady to turn invisible and {{intangib|ility}}le.

* In the ''Literature/CaptainFuture'' {{reconstruction}} novel ''Avengers of the Moon'', our hero uses a man-portable version of his spaceship's fantome generator to infiltrate the moon habitat of a high-ranking politician. SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome occurs as he has to consider such problems as power supply (only ten minutes using his batteries), being able to navigate when you can't see, and how to hide his footprints. The solution they come up with is for Captain Future to walk in behind, and [[HandyHelper holding onto]], his RobotBuddy Grag, who pretends to be a [[ObfuscatingStupidity simple maintenance robot]]. Later Captain Future uses the fantome generator in a shootout by switching it on, moving his position and aiming his weapon at where he can hear the enemy is (sound can still travel through the field) then turning it off again, giving himself a momentary advantage over his opponents.

* In the ''WesternAnimation/InspectorGadget'' episode "A Clear Case", one of Dr. Claw's scientists invents an invisibility cloth using diamonds to deflect light. The scientist then uses the suit to haunt a diamond mine so MAD could collect enough diamonds to make suits for their agents. Unfortunately, it's then that a SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome occurs, as while the suits successfully make the agents invisible, due to being unable to see ''each other'', they end up bumping and hitting each other. Even worse, the suits aren't proven to be durable, as during a fight with Gadget, enough hard blows result in the diamond cloth turning to dust.

* ''VideoGame/MetalGear'' had both two-way invisibility and active camouflage. The [=OctoCamo=] from ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid4'' is a peculiar example. To the player, Snake appears fully visible, just colored with the exact pattern and texture of whatever he's blending with, but while playing against Snake during a Sneaking Mission in ''VideoGame/MetalGearOnline'', when the camo index is high, Snake is virtually invisible, barely even noticeable when he moves, and one presumes this is also how the AI sees it. When using Stealth Camouflage in ''[=MGS4=]'' and ''MGO'' (a CallBack to the original ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid''), one is totally invisible to the naked eye, but one is still visible by enemies using infrared in-game, and the user still has a shadow. The Stealth Camo is in a way InvisibleToNormals since normal guards can't see you, but bosses, escort characters, and the Attack Team (the guards sent during an alert phase) can. It's possible that they already know you're there and are specifically looking for you. Stealth Camo doesn't provide total invisibility, so you could still spot it if you know what to look for.

* The ''VideoGame/{{Fallout}}'' series features the Stealth Boy, which is established as a knock-off of Chinese technology, leading to Chinese stealth armor showing up in the ''Operation: Anchorage'' DownloadableContent for ''VideoGame/Fallout3''.[[note]]The armor shows up in ''VideoGame/FalloutNewVegas'' as well, but it doesn't have a cloaking function, [[FridgeBrilliance perhaps because its effect has degraded after lying around for 200 years]].[[/note]] Both [[KungFuProofMook prevent the player from targeting an equipped enemy in VATS]].

** ''VideoGame/CallOfDutyBlackOpsII'' has an optical camouflage equipment piece the player can find in a few campaign levels, which can be obtained if the player has the Access Kit perk. When active, it doesn't actually conceal you, rather it makes enemies firing at you less accurate. Enemies also make use of optical camo in a few missions.

* One of the standard features of any ''VideoGame/{{Crysis}}'' [[PoweredArmor nanosuit]] is a cloak mode. It's a GameBreaker in singleplayer, but savvy players in multiplayer modes will still see a shadow and an enemy icon on their mini-maps with a handheld scanner. It slowly drains energy when sitting still, drains it much faster when moving, and totally empties the suit energy meter if you shoot before switching modes. A common and effective workaround for the latter is to uncloak for an instant, fire, then cloak again. Even if an enemy is looking right at you, you'll have a split-second before they manage to react to your presence to fire a shot or two.

* In one episode of ''Series/{{Castle}}'', a man is murdered by something he couldn't see. When it was mentioned that strange things had been happening with him involved, Castle believing he made a DealWithTheDevil and the devil came to collect. Eventually, it's revealed that he was a scientist who had created a cloaking suit and all the spiritual incidents around him had been due to a friend of his wearing it, with him being killed by his ex-girlfriend due to using her for her research to get the technology running.
