The Invisible Man

A prisoner named Darien Fawkes is facing life imprisonment and volunteers to undergo an experiment by a low-rent spy organisation that involves a "Quicksilver gland" being implanted in his head. The result of which gave him the power of invisibility by being able to secrete "Quicksilver" from his pores and follicles which bends light rays. This substance quickly coats his skin, hair, nails and clothes and renders him invisible. He can consciously release the Quicksilver, which then flakes off and disintegrates.

Unfortunately he finds himself wanted by both a mysterious government agency and an international terrorist who will stop at nothing to discover his secret.
