Flight or Invisibility - Louis

A hard desicision on whether I would chose flight over invisibility, as they both seem to be useful in their own ways:

Flight: Depending on what you can do, this would be better


  • If you could fly as fast as you like
  • If it was easy to do
  • If you could fly for really long distances without getting exausted
Invisibility: If flying didn't have those capibilities, I would chose this

  • If you were touched, it would ruin the fact that you can't be seen
  • It would take a long time to ajust to
  • Depends on the difficulty on doing it
Powers seem to be used very often in literature, as many books that I have read have some sort of power used by someone/something. In movies, it is even more widespread, when things dont have special technology (or some completely different movie about other things).

When it comes to human abilities, nothing is seen as supernatural, but if it was just a comparison to other things, the thing that would class us as supernatural would be how intelligent humans are.

As for animals, when compared to humans, there are many things that make them supernatural comapred to us, such as the sheer size of a whale, or the speed of a cheetah.

The power of invisibility wouldn't lead me to 'the dark side' instead a power of more magnitude, such as mind control or telekenisis, due to them having power over other things instead of yourself.

So overall my answer to which power I would chose wouldn't be either, instead being mind control >:D

  1. You said you'd rather have mind control as your super-power, but I don't see how this COULDN'T lead you "down a dark path". Other than to help humanity by manipulating a terroist's mind or something like that.
