The first question, what would you as a blind Tiger do? The price of invisibility, you can't project an image on a invisible retina.
Yeah, the least believable part of some human transforming into an invisible tiger at will is them being able to see while in the invisible-tiger form. Doesn't make any physical sense...
edit: /s
A Lot of supposed Superpowers dont physical sense. Eg, capable to stop the time, a great superpower in some movies, the reallity is, you would survive it not even some seconds. If the time stops, all materia, even atoms become inmovil, means, you can't even breath and you die frozen at 0 Kelvin before you can say "shit..". Nice an skeleton of Andamantiom, indestructible, but the pass port to an conyinuos blood transfusuion, because of the lack of bone marrow in a metal bone. Same with most other Avengers and Superheroes which are violating any physical law. Well, maybe Batman...
I think the real super power is simply not being affected by your stoppage of time as much as it is able to stop time. 🤷♂️
Wasting time of other is the most terrible superpower of some people
Unfortunately the air molecules around you would also not be experiencing time, so you still can’t breathe.
I'm not a massive X-Men fan, but the adamantium skeleton is a misnomer. It coats his actual skeleton, and in one storyline is ripped off of him, and he still has a skeleton and more fragile bone claws.
He also has basically unlimited regeneration (well, there may be a limit but if there is it's a ridiculous limit) which would definitely cover the blood thing anyway. Also the problematic park: where does all the energy/mass for his regeneration come from?
You also don't transfer as much heat, so you would actually just slowly suffocate.
You can still smell!
do tigers not have whiskers like other cat-type creatures?
They do, but they are vestigial organs that aren't used any longer. Contemporary tigers use LIDAR to detect movement.
