Who is Invisible Kid?

Jacques Foccart, a young man from Earth, unexpectedly acquired the power of invisibility after taking the original Invisible Kid's experimental serum in a desperate bid to protect his sister from a deadly threat — a selfless act that thrust him into the ranks of the Legion of Super-Heroes as the new Invisible Kid.

Few characters carry the weight of legacy quite like Invisible Kid, who stepped onto the Bronze Age DC stage in 1982 courtesy of Paul Levitz, Keith Giffen, and Larry Mahlstedt — a creative team that knew exactly how to build mythology in the far future. Rooted in the rich, sprawling world of Legion of Super-Heroes continuity, this character has shared adventures across nearly four decades with luminaries like Element Lad, Timber Wolf, and Imra Ardeen, rubbing shoulders with some of the 30th century's finest. With appearances spread across Legion of Super-Heroes, Tales of the Legion of Super-Heroes, and beyond, Invisible Kid represents that special breed of character whose longevity — stretching all the way to 2021 — speaks to an enduring place in one of DC's most beloved cosmic franchises. For collectors and Legion devotees alike, tracing this character through the decades is a rewarding journey into the heart of superhero team storytelling at its most ambitious.
