Up, Up & Away?

1. Spider-Man: Has the power to shoot webs from wrist. This enables him to grapple and incapacitate enemies, as well as simulate flight by "swinging" from web to web.

2. Iron Man: While wearing a high-tech robotic suit, has the ability to fly using specialized rocket boosters.

3. Aquaman: Has the power of marine telepathy, which allows him to communicate with aquatic creatures.

4. Hawkeye: Has the power to fire a bow with extreme precision.

5. Hulk: When enraged, becomes extremely muscular and strong (almost invulnerable).

6. Flash: Has the ability to run at light speed.

7. Deadpool: Is immortal, which disables him from dying, of course.

8. Wolverine: Has retractable claws, which are fantastic for slicing up the bad guys.

9. Superman: Is invulnerable, making his immune to earthly damages.

10. Daredevil: Has all senses, besides sight, as Daredevil is blind, boosted to super-human levels



"If you could only have one superpower for the rest of your life, explain which superpower you’d rather have: Invisibility or the ability to Fly."

There are many pros and cons to both powers. To start, flying gives a person so much more mobility. No longer would I be restricted to the ground or floor, I would have the ability to forge my own path. It would also be quite impressive to everyone. That said, though, everyone would know that I am the guy that flies. It would turn me into a celebrity, essentially. Thousands of people are going to know all about me before I ever even meet them, which would make associating with people somewhat more difficult. Walking may also lose its luster, but that may be a sacrifice I am willing to make.

Invisibility, though, is essentially the opposite. While it does not directly increase mobility at all, it increases stealth exponentially. I could easily be wherever I would want to be and no one would ever have to know. Unfortunately, this may also cause some sort of disconnection with people. The invisibility would definitely create more introversion, since I could basically have anything I want without ever having to talk to anyone. It would be a paradise, but a paradise that you just happened to find when you fell out of a boat.

All things considered, I would choose flight. I am already an introverted person, and would like to become more open. The ability to fly would be an excellent catalyst for becoming more social. I could basically impress anyone. I am the only human being in the world that can fly. Everyone will want to know me, and that is something I honestly would like. Flying would actually change my life up a bit, while invisibility would essentially not change anything. I would still be the anonymous person I am now, and maybe even more so. That is not something that I want. What I want is to break free from the everyday, and become something new.
