"Invisibility or being able to fly?"

Which would be the best super power to have?


Invisibility would be really cool, but it would suck if you couldn't turn it off. You might end up going mad like the guy off Hollow Man.

Flying on the other hand... no drawbacks there (unless you have wings or something crap) - but is it effortless flying, or does it tire you out? Also, how much control to you have over your flight? Are we talking 'superman style', where you must fly as if you're lying on an ironing board, or do you get the maneuverability of a harrier jump jet?

It's a tricky choice. What's the best super power?

'Super Human Strength' would be my choice or 'Close Combat Skills'.

However, from the questioned two.. I would choose flying.

Invisibility.

Who says you can't touch, being able to go anywhere and do anything easily makes it the best superpower.

Guess where this is from (Mystique ain't allowed to guess though cus I said so)

"If I was a superhero who could fly and be invisible, that would be the best"

Oh come on, flying by a long shot! Invisibility has its merits, naturally, but you can only look in girl's locker rooms so much, and looking without touching is maddening. If you coudl fly, you could cross huge distances quickly, show off amazingly, lounge around on the ceiling and walk on water. Showing off is the best bit about having a superpower, how can you show off in no-one can see you doing it?

But invisibility could give you that benefit too. Knowone would notice you poncing rides. ;-)) Plus with flying theres the hazard of bird strike - getting sucked through a jet engine of a plane. Not to mention smelly BO after a long flight ;-)
And does anyone realise how bloody freezing cold it gets at high altitudes ?

I live near the sea but the water is all green and skanky.

you might have a point

hmm... i'll take flight

You could always have 'being able to breathe in the countryside' instead. You'll also need to combine that one with 'no sense of smell' for it to be of much use.

i would say invisibility would be good.Think about it you could go ANYWHERE and do ANYTHING,of course i would go mad aswell if i couldnt turn it off

Flying.

Flying is cool.
Being invisible like you said could make you go mad and go on a killing spree like the Hollow Man.
Invisibility would just be weird.

and the rubber mask? Not pretty.

Being able to breathe underwater for as long as you like is good.
