Intangibility (superpower)
The term intangibility is also used to describe the ability to turn intangible, a common superpower in superhero media.
The superhuman ability to turn oneself intangible has become common in superhero media. The superpower is most notably linked with the Marvel Comics character Kitty Pryde / Shadowcat, a mutant who can pass through solid matter. She often referred to her ability as "phasing" through solid matter, a term that has gained popularity and is commonly used for the power. Other users include DC Comics character Martian Manhunter.
Although intangibility can be a power on its own, as seen with Pryde, it has also been seen as an ability achieved through the use of other superpowers. The Flash is a fictional character who is able to use his power of super-speed to render himself intangible, a feat that is accomplished by vibrating so fast he becomes untouchable to solid matter. Another fictional superhero, The Vision, has the ability to alter his density, a power he has used to become intangible on several occasions.
The power is also commonly seen in media portrayals of ghosts. The 2004 television series Danny Phantom portrays several ghosts, including the titular character, becoming intangible.
