You are the only person on Earth to have this particular power. No one else has it. You may only choose one, not both. Which do you choose? Why do you choose it? What would you do with it? What do you think this says about you as a person?

I would choose to fly as it would cut down on fuel cost/use/emisions. I could also get from A to B without needing a drivers license, and I could have beautiful views when I travel.
I think it would be pretty incredible to fly much better than being invisble. Being invisible is a bit like hiding- and you can already do that. Flying would just be amazing! -------------------- We are unraveling our navels so that we may ingest the sun. DARIA IZ GOOD ON TOAST TOAST IZ GOOD ON DARIA |

Bummer. I picked flight and then decided I'd prefer to be invisible. That way I could leave my house without anyone knowing, walk about the streets at night and not get raped since no one would know I'm there, eat chavs, spy on people, look at tests in school before they're given to us and be crooked in every other way. Oh the possibilities.

But it you could fly, you could fly above everyone's heads and not get raped. You could also spy on people from the sky.

Inivisibility because the things I could do would be fun, plus I'm afraid of heights so I wouldn't want to be up that high.

Flight. I wouldn't trust myself with invisibility. I'd start off all nice and acting good and everything, but I'd slowly slide to the dark side. Plus, I love heights.

 If my woman were a fire... Group: Established Members Posts: 3,328 Joined: 14-November 04 From: hole-in-the-ground, Texas Member No.: 1,473 Gender: Female |
I'd go for the invisibility. I'm also afraid of heights (though it's not near as bad as it used to be.) and there are some pretty bad problems you could have with flight. What if you fly too high? If you fly into a jet stream (that could be fun, though)? What happens if you fly into some bad weather?
Being invisible would be pretty cool for sneaking up on people, and I could listen in on people's convesations. NOT THAT I WOULD EVER DO THAT. As for what that says about me as a person, I think it says that I over-think things.

 I could have written a short novel by this point Group: Established Members Posts: 1,959 Joined: 12-May 04 From: Victoria B.C. Member No.: 1,112 Gender: Female |
Flight.
I keep thinking of the X-files episode that showed the down side of being invisible. Noone gets out of your way, traffic fails to see you, people slam doors in your face, etc. Yes you could listen to people but your best friend doesn't smile just because you're there. Yep, flight. --------------------      It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion, It is by the beans of Java that thoughts acquire speed, the hands acquire shaking, the shaking becomes a warning, It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion. - SpeakertotheLost |

Woah. We need to establish a ground rule here. Can you turn the power off? I'd assume yes, who would want to fly all the time? Your muscles would wither and you'd (as said) have doors slammed in your face.

Agreed to the "turning power off" bit. If we assume that the human eye would work so that you could still see, I'd pick invisibility. I delight in knowing things that people don't know that I know, and invisibility has all sorts of possibilities in that direction. I'm probably a bit ethically challenged on this bit, but I'd take great delight in using my power to drive one or two people to the brink of insanity. Of course, the flip side is that you can do awesome secret good deeds without anyone knowing your identity. Before anyone says that heroes who fly can be disguised, I want to know how anyone was ever fooled by Superman taking his glasses off and parting his hair on the other side. Besides, masks can be pulled off after people shoot you out of the sky.

Mine would have to be a cross between Pyro and Iceman from X-Men, so I'd be a sort of Fire and Ice woman.

Invisibility would rock, but it would be awfully inconvenient to have to strip every time you wanted to use your power. The thought of running around naked, invisible or no, creeps me out. So flight it is.

OK, I accidently clicked on "flight" instead of "invisibility" in the poll, but I choose invisbility. If I could turn invisible, I'd be able to do almost anything. Sneak into concerts, the movies,ANYWHERE!. And if you think about, if you turn invisible, you can fly. Free airplane trips!
If we wouldn't be allowed to do anything illegal with our powers, I'd choose flying, but otherwise, I'm invisible! --------------------  |

I picked flying, mostly because I'm lazy. I could get from my chair to the fridge without ever technically getting up.
It would also be fun to wear a really long coat and pretend you're like 11ft tall. |
