Jon Udell made an entry called, "Choose your superpower". What I find interesting is that back in February my wife and I had a conversation about this same thing. Of course we didn't limit it to just invisibility or flying, but rather any one super power.

What did I choose? Flying.

The NPR segment that got Jon going quotes one person saying that people who choose flying over invisibility are lying. Here it is:

I think a lot of people will tell you they'll choose flight, and I think they're lying. I think they'll say that in order to sound mythic and heroic, because the better angels of our nature would tell us that we should strive for flight. But I think if everybody were being perfectly honest, they'd tell you the truth, which is that they all want to be invisible so that they can shoplift, go to movies for free, go to exotic places without paying for airline tickets, and watch celebrities have sex.

I disagree. I have no interest in any of those things. I'd rather be able to move from place to place quickly. I often wonder what society would be like if we had transporters. Since we're talking about super powers though, I'd love to fly. I could see the scenery from high up and enjoy it on the way to where I was going, but still get there much faster.

What got me thinking about this back in February was an RPG (of course). Mutants and Masterminds. It has a huge list of super-powers for characters, as well as tells you how to create your own powers if you can't find exactly what you are looking for in there. That got me thinking about what super-power I would like to have.
