If something was so black that it absorbed 100% of all light waves, would we even be able to see it?

This substance, Vantablack (which I learned about here a few years ago) absorbes 99.965% of all light waves. It’s the blackest thing known to us.
If something absorbed 100% of light waves, what would we see?
