Simon is a shy social outcast, played by Iwan Rheon, who is sentenced to community service for arson. His special power is a type of invisibility that prevents anyone from seeing or even hearing his presence, reflective of his personality in that he often feels ignored.

Initially, the others never see his power and doubt it's real. At one point, it is suggested that he is losing control of his power when he collapses to the ground, moaning while turning invisible, apparently against his will. However, by the fifth episode he demonstrates far greater proficiency, turning invisible at will and quickly, as well as affecting objects while in the state.

When his power was inverted by drugs he attracted an increased amount of attention to himself, suggesting that he does not become invisible in the sense that he bends light around himself but in the sense that he is able to stop people from consciously registering that he is there (Similar to the Somebody Else's Problem field created by Douglas Adams).
