A few days ago I did a post asking you guys whether you would rather have super speed or super strength. Most of you seemed to prefer super speed which was my preference too.

Today I want to discuss about two more superpowers that I’m sure we have all thought about and wished we could have had when we were younger. Some of us still do.

The powers that I am talking about are classics. One is the ability to fly and one is the ability to be invisible at will. I know, these are two of the coolest superpowers to have but recently these have sort of taken a backseat in the current superhero genre movies as they are showcased as “basic” powers that lots of heroes and villains have.

In any case, let’s see which one of these would be more useful to have in real life and more importantly, which one would be cooler.

I Believe I Can Fly

Whether it is with the help of an iron suit or a native ability, the power of flight would be awesome on so many levels. Just imagine having that feeling of liberation when you are not bound by gravity anymore.

Just being among the clouds would be a divine feeling (we all wonder about it when we fly in an airplane and look out the window, do we not?). Also, you could fly to anywhere in the world for free.

An average person spends anywhere from 4-6 days a year, stuck in traffic. If you could fly, there would be no more traffic jams for you and thus you would be on time every time. This would also be really useful in times of emergencies.

Also, you could really impress your date by taking him/her on a tour around the city up in the sky making them experience something that they would never have imagined before.

Invisibility

Now, before I talk about this, I know many people will think that this ability is just plain and simple creepy but let’s just look at this objectively. Invisibility is one of the most practical abilities to have if not abused. Imagine what Harry Potter would have done without the Invisibility Cloak.

With invisibility, you could be the best spy there ever was (giving James Bond a run for his money) doing a lot of good for your country, possibly stopping a lot of attacks dead in their tracks and saving lots of lives.

Another great advantage (if you see it without the lenses of morality) is that you would never have to pay for concerts, movies, sports events or any other place where money could be an issue.

Getting to the fun part, you could freak people out by floating things in their peripheral view or by whispering in their ears or you could even get to know what people really think about you and use that to get away from two faced people or scare them away.

What Would I Do?

Well, I would like to be liberated and for me, being able to fly would help me achieve that. I would love to dive into the clouds and just spend my time up there which would kind of make me invisible for a certain while.

Also, I personally don’t care about freaking people out or getting my hands on confidential information. I would rather fly like a bird to wherever I like and just enjoy myself.

Travelling the whole world without the hassles of getting a visa? Sing me right up!

So, what would you guys prefer if presented the opportunity? Would you like to touch the skies or vanish at will?
