I would prefer to have Immortality and Permanent 20-ish Health. That way I would have eternity to either get somewhere or find myself a hot girl, and would never be afraid of dying or getting hurt so I could walk the ocean bed if I wanted to...

immortality isn't the same as invincibility

but yeah, being a Highlander would have some perks i suppose.

but i'd rather have invisibility.

imagine how FAT you'd get if you flew around all the time and never walked or moved.
 
Hah, reminds me of powerups in Quake 3...hmm, I'll take quad damage! 😛 No...would have to say I'd take invisibility. Lots more possibilities.
 
Invisibility would make you rich though, and with money comes the poon. Either power can get you plenty of girls if thats all you're after.

you can fly with a machine

you can't be invisible (with a machine or without)

That's a silly argument.

If you had a choice between becoming a millionaire or having the ability to make paperclips appear out of thin air, would you choose the paperclips because becoming a millionaire is something that can already be done with a bit of hard work? 😕

Paper clips can be made with a machine so that isn't an ability that doesn't exist like invisibility.

 
Flight easily. My walls would be covered with pictures of me everywhere. "Yeah, that's me on Mt. Everest and there's me balancing on top of the Efile Tower." Also think how good you could be at sports. A slam dunk from the 3 point line? LoL, I'll make one from home. Also, if you were in the outfield no one would ever get a homerun.

And crash it on the landing pad, because you have no flight training whatsoever.

LOLOL! "Not yet. *flips open phone* Tank, I'm gonna need a pilot training program for a F-16.. hurry!"
 
When I was younger I always thought it'd be so freaking cool to be able to fly and used to have very realistic dreams about it even, but now that I give it some thought, I'd have to go with being able to go Invisible.

Besides, if I was flying at 1,000 MPH and a bug hit me, that shyte would feel like a gun shot!

If we were atlking about ALL superpowers, then I would pick Metamorphism.

So what does this say about our personalities?
Click to expand...

Let's be realistic. 😛 Morphing would just be too complex for the human body, you'll have to talk to Mystique about that. As far as what it says about your personalities... I dunno. 😛

You said in the OP that what we choose tells a lot about what kind of person you are. How so?

As for morphing, well, at least i can yell "IT's Morphing time!" whenever I change into something.

Or, just zooming through the Grand Cannon, or fly over the rain forest and camp out at an old temple. Skiing would be awesome cause you wouldn't need to wait for a chairlift.
 
after reading the responses, it seems like the question should be reworded as:

Flying or Invisibility: Which makes rape easier?

Have you ever noticed that a lot of kids have flying dreams but adults don't as often. I had a teacher say, "Did you ever think they might have been out of body experiences? You know, maybe a childs mind is more open and not so affraid to let go."

Just a thought.
 
invisibility

you didn't indicate whether your reaction time has increased... so what if you can fly 1000 mph? what if you fly 1000 mph into an airplane? or a building? but that's just being technical 😛

Hey, hey, hey...don't lump me in with those guys. I was gonna use my invisibility for theft and stocks fraud.

LOL. Seriously, I'm not a psychologist, but one could draw the parallel that those who choose to fly are more free spirited and outgoing. While those who choose be be invisible are less interested in being noticed and have a more deceptive and sneaky outlook at some things. I honestly don't know! 😛
