Invulnerability



The invulnerability is a powerup that makes the player generally impervious from damage for 30 seconds, during which the screen also turns black and white and in negative. It does not protect the player from telefrags, and is disabled in some areas. The power up looks like a green sphere with a grinning head inside.

The invulnerability can also be activated with the cheat code idbeholdv.

In vanilla Doom, deathmatch mode, invulnerabilities and blur artifacts never respawn. Some source ports allow flags to be set to allow them to respawn.
