Pick your super-power

While I don't have any of the stuff you must have in the hookah... Walking through walls...

I am a pilot, so I already fly... and my wife and a number of friends seem to look right past me quite frequently = so I probably am already partially invisible at times.

 

A couple of years ago I went on a glider flight and expected it enjoy it immensely. Boy, was I wrong. The wind noise was irritating, and I spent the entire flight trying not to vomit from nausea. Some things have to be experienced in youth.

Be careful what you wish for. I'll also mention that it is *cold* up there.

 

I think I'd go for flying.

The 14-year-old perv that I was many years ago would have gone for invisibility, no question. But these days, the only real use I can see for it would be stealing stuff, and I wouldn't do that.

I am already able to walk through walls, as long as they have doors in them. So that doesn't excite me too much.

But flying would be cool. It'd save so much time. And I say this as someone who will be spending all of Monday, from 7am Sydney time to 1am Beijing time (4am Sydney time) flying from Sydney to Singapore and Singapore to Beijing in economy class. So the idea of being able to fly direct, and maybe stop off in Darwin, Jakarta, Manila, Hong Kong and Shanghai to visit friends is really very appealing. But I'd need a motorbike helmet or something so I could handle the wind. And probably a coat. And some sunscreen. And I don't fancy carrying my 23kg of luggage. Hmm... Mind you, even if I were doing Monday's flight in a plane, I could use my superpower to float a bit above my seat so that I didn't end up with such a sore behind after sitting down for so long.

On an everyday basis, though, being able to fly above the clogged traffic in Beijing, Shanghai and Sydney would be fantastic. Although I suspect I'd turn up for meetings with disastrous hair. Perhaps this is why Superman uses so much product.

 

Invisible would be my choice. Only the imagination can come up with the infinite scenarios one can explore

 

Definitely invisibility. Being able to steal/spy at will would be pretty interesting.

I like the part where whatever you touch can turn invisible. I would steal cars, boats etc. for my personal use. Rob banks, steal money, gold, diamonds, art.

I would definitely have fun with it.

 

I agree invisible is the way to go. I would go find people who are bullies and rub dog feces on them during some important event

 

If I was still in corporate business, then I would choose invisibility. How often have you wished to be a fly on the wall at some meetings to learn exactly what is being said? By being invisible, you would have the chance to partake without anyone knowing - only risk is that this may tempt you to a little inside trading.

Flying to avoid the peak period traffic jams would be nice, and it would also make zipping down to the shops a little easier, but for the long haul, would much prefer being encased in a aluminium tube (also known as a plane).

But now, it is a little hard to drive a taxi and be invisible, and flying is just not necessary, so would have to pick the walking through walls. At least then I could help where people have locked themselves out of their car - if you can walk through walls, cannot see why you cannot walk through a locked car door.

 

If I was invisible I would head right to the Kardashian house and see what is really going on. Oh wait we already know cause they luv talking about there life to everyone on TV

 

Ummmm...

Hypothetically... you mean hypothetically right...

If we could have superpowers as a god and even then... only if it was only we few...

Only then would you consider doing this - I mean... you'd only say this to a question posed in a forum for entertainment purposes, and you'd never think to actually DO the bolded if it wasn't a hypothetical thing, right Bra...

Ummmm... Dan...

You did read the first line of the second post in this thread you started... right Bra...

 

Off-topic, but: anyone ever dream they can fly? Once in a very long while I will, always the coolest dream.

I idly wonder why such a dream would pop-up.

 

easy one. fly. the ability to move from one place to another carbon free is where its at. Personal transportation is one of the single most expensive (and ineffective) desires of the modern world. We spend trillions on a highway system that mostly earns a grade of D- or less.

my motorcycle experience tells me that I can wear a helmet and easily withstand 100 mph. That is 30 min to Seattle from my front door. Remember, straight line travel is MUCH quicker. I would want one caveat. Radar for collision avoidance. no doubt in my mind that anyone who does not pick this has some sort of voyeurism issues

why I dont pick the others

invisibility would work for nefarious purposes at best. I have nothing to hide so that would be of minimal value to me. besides; others knowing that this is available would cause undue stress in the world. not worth it.

walking thru walls; look above. the ability to circumvent locks, privacy, personal space??? ya, but NO

 

I like going caving - spelunking... getting to an adjoining chamber would be nice...

 

Oh, I don't know about that. I am always saddened by deer being frightened by me when I get too close. It would be a remarkable experience to be able to wander among the creatures of the world.

 

most can barely see you anyway. remember, we still smell even if we are invisible

 

Definitely invisibility. However, while you stated farts wouldn't be heard I hope they could be smelled, you have heard of "silent but deadly" have you not? Besides what fun would non-smelly farts be? Can you imagine going into the Oval Office for a high-level cabinet meeting and just rip a really stinky one? That said invisibility would be pretty much useless if the person could be smelled, a dog could be used to detect him.

 

How about immortality and youth
