The power of flight or invisibility?

I want the power to talk to computers - in this day and age you'd be able to do anything.

Like Micah's power?

It's pretty impressive, he just put his hand on the ATM and thousands came out.

I'd like Hiro's power though, timetravel would be mine.
 
Well not exactly Micah but that would be class too...I was thinking about that woman who appeared just once in the first season - she could get online and use MSN without a computer OMGZ COOL!

With Hiro's power you could seriously **** things up!

Easy answer : flying

You could actually be a hero with flying, you could actually reach and find people that are in trouble. With invisibility youd just need to be lucky enough to come across someone in trouble.

Also with flying you could impress people more easily, if you told people you could go invisible whod be the first to blame when something goes missing or people hear strange noises at night etc

:/ youd have to be able to hear them first, and when do u see somebody in trouble from far away, that you wish you could reach, i certainly dont.

You could only really mess up things if you go a long way into the past and change something really, which I probably wouldn't do.

However it would be interesting to go back 2000 years into Biblical times and watch Jesus walk/not walk on water.

I'd probably end up bringing a dinosaur into the year 2007 though. :D

sounds like im gonna win that lotto tonight :D
 
Out of those two choices I would go with invisibility. Flying would be more fun I think (after all you could still perve, just hover around some nude beaches) but invisibility is more useful by itself. Think about it, if you can fly you can get to people who are in trouble but then what are you going to do? Sure you can save people in burning buildings (fly up to the window or something) but your flight ability wouldn't help much in a fight. Invisibility would and stealth would generally be pretty good.

no you wouldnt, if your up high your more likely to SEE things going on below, you can see a much larger area. If you were invisible your limited to helping in your own town/city, with flight you can travel all over the place

you never see people in trouble from far away, you could if you could fly though and why wouldnt YOU want to reach someone to help them?
 
If you could fly you could get all the hot biatches you would ever want so I don't see how invisibility is even close.
 
Invisibilty for sure, but a with a few caveats. Whatever clothes I'm wearing also become invisible, and anything I pick up and/or put in my pockets does too.
 
If it was flying with ease (as per Superman) then flying for sure!

But if the ability to fly also meant that you felt like you'd had an epic gym workout everytime your feet left the floor, then that would be less useful!

:p
 
IF you could fly you could probably get a few girls without dreaming over ones you'll never get invisible ;)



Anyway, if you could fly, how fast? I mean, if you're going pretty fast the strain on your eyes from the air resistance would be pretty bad, I assume this would be an innate ability thats comes with flying?

Job wise, express courier for emergencies ;D
Getting to places other people can't.

Oh and, could you fly in space with a suit? :D - Work for Nasa.

It depends.

If I chose flying
How high could i fly? (it's not much use only being able to fly 20 feet up)
How fast could I fly? (if you're limited to walking/running speed you might as well walk/run most of the time)
How much could I carry?
How much effort would be involved? (would it be like standing, walking, or running?)

If I chose Invisibility
Could I turn it on and off at will? (being the classic invisible man doesn't appeal to me, it would cost a fortune in bandages and oakleys).
Would I be able to wear clothes, and would they also turn invisible? (I don't fancy getting hypothermia).
Would I be invisible on the more than just the classic visible spectrum? (PIR's would be a real pain if it only worked on visible light).

How high could i fly? As high as you could still breathe fine
How fast could I fly? Faster than you can run but not super speed, say 30mph...
How much could I carry? As much as you can carry now I'd guess
How much effort would be involved? Not much, just jumping and steering yourself, as much as walking.

If I chose Invisibility
Could I turn it on and off at will? Yes
Would I be able to wear clothes, and would they also turn invisible? Yes
Would I be invisible on the more than just the classic visible spectrum? Maybe if you paid to upgrade. I'd say you'd be invisible to the IR spectrum.

On that basis I would choose invisible. If you can only fly at say 30mph, it would take you forever to get anywhere that would be worth flying :P. If your invisible, you could sneak onto or steal any form of travel available lol.
 
Well for it to be a fair comparison you get both powers with all their positive effects

Can fly like you were superman, eg with little effort, very fast, without any strain on yourself etc

When your invisible you can see, you turn it on and off, you can make your clothes invisible etc

i still pick flying
