Was my first thought. If someone was wearing a suit made of materials that reflected no light in wouldn't they effectively be invisible?

Not necessarily - does the light get absorbed, or does it re-radiate out the other side? If the latter, they would be completely visible - if the former, they would be incredibly black....

Yep, they'd appear black; they'd absorb the light behind them.

Good questions. I wouldn't know.
