Cartoonish fictional characters such as Darth Vader, the Ghostbusters, and Anthony Weiner have been known to take the subway—so it was only a matter of time before the Invisible Man did so as well. This disturbing-looking person was spotted on the N train this week by a reader of Eddie Going. It's a little creepy—and unfortunate that this straphanger didn't take Robert Downey Jr.'s advice more seriously: "Never go full Unitard."
Nevertheless, this isn't even close to the most disturbing thing we've seen on the subway.
