Flight or Invisibility - Campbell

When we hear about superheroes in books we immediately think about a few main super powers, two of them are flight and invisibility.  With all superheroes we think that it is your moral  compass that determines what you will do with your super power, good or evil.  Although the article that we have just read in class suggests that good or evil is not determined by the person but their power.  I agree with that to an extent and admit that some powers leave more room for sneakiness than others but I still believe that ultimately the choice is ours.

Given the  choice of flight or invisibility I would probably choose flight.  Taking away the message of the article I would still choose this as in my opinion it is more fun to swoop over the land than turn invisible. If you are invisible no one would see your power and being invisible can create low moral standards.   When you are flying you are very visible so it is harder to commit a crime.  When it is hard to commit a crime most people will not do it, it is when you have a power like invisibility that you do commit crimes as it is tempting and very easy.  In conclusion I think that flight is a more fun and interesting super power.

As a human though we already have a sort of super power which is our brain power.  We are more intelligent than any other animal and to those animals it might be considered a superpower.  Although we do not have anything that we might consider a super power using our brains we can create alternatives, e.g. we may not be as fast as a cheetah but the cars that we create using our brains are.
