Realistic Superpowers Project Poll

[BeerBaron]

DON'T VOTE UNTIL YOU READ THE EXPLANATIONS PLEASE!!

So I've been working on a little side project for a while and decided i could use the help of a (usually) sensible online community.

My goal was to try and come up with some "more realistic" superpowers that won't have you fighting crime or becoming a super villain, but would probably help you vastly in day to day life and make you just an awesome person in general, lol. I basically gave some old superpowers new catches if you will.

So without further ado, please read each of them and vote on which one you would most like to have if you could.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Flying – You are able to fly but only as far and as fast as you can swim. You’re essentially swimming through the air although you don’t have to make that motion. It will look like your just levitating but it will put the same physical strain on you as if you were swimming. If you are up in the air at the time you run out of energy to keep going, you will slowly float back down as to not harm yourself. Also, you can only carry around things or people you would be able to swim with.

Time Freeze – You are able to freeze time but only while you hold your breath. As soon as you let it out (or inhale further) it stops and time resumes. You may alter things, move people around, etc. but only while holding your breath. Furthermore, you must catch your breath before being able to do it again.

Invisibility – You are able to turn yourself invisible but anything you touch or pick up after turning invisible will remain visible. For example, if you pick up a pen after turning invisible, it will remain visible and appear as though it’s levitating. Only things you’re holding or wearing when you turn invisible will become invisible with you. Furthermore, you must stay visible for at least as long as you were invisible before you can do it again.

Telekinesis – You are able to move things with your mind but only things you would be able to move with one hand normally. You won’t be able to toss cars around and whatnot, but you can bring yourself the TV remote from across the room or something like that. Like a real arm, you can work it out to make it a little stronger over time. Also, the further away something is, the more concentration and therefore, mental strain, it would take to move it.

Shape Shifting – You are able to shift your shape but it takes one hour for the process to fully complete during which you will be extremely weak and drowsy. You can only change into other people and even then only people you have had skin-to-skin physical contact with in order for your body to get the proper shape. Also, you cannot shift inanimate objects such as clothes. You can remain in someone else’s shape for up to 24 hours at which time you will start to change back. You must then remain yourself for at least an amount of time equal to your most recent shift.

Time Travel – You are able to travel back in time 5 minutes. You will jump back into your body wherever you were at that time. You will retain knowledge of what did happen in that 5 minutes so you can alter it if need be. You also cannot take things with you since you are just shifting your consciousness into yourself from 5 minutes ago. You must then wait for 10 minutes between each use. (5 for the time you just went back and then 5 extra minutes to recharge)

Teleportation – You are able to teleport short distances. You can teleport up to the distance you would be able to maintain running at full speed. After teleporting, you will feel the same physical exertion that you would have if you did run it at full speed. Also, you must be able to see where it is you are going so no going through walls or anything like that. You can however pass through glass like windows because you can see through them to know where you would wind up.

[the_legend_killer]

It's not on here, but I'd say the ability to read minds.

[BeerBaron]

It's not on here, but I'd say the ability to read minds.

well, yes, but that one is tough to balance and make realistic. i think that would be more of a curse as it is than anything...

[the_legend_killer]

Understandable, I could certainly see it's drawbacks.

[BeerBaron]

aye. i really wouldn't want to be paging through my buddies mind to figure out a good birthday present and stumble upon say, his wild sexual fantasies.......<cringe>

[josh07039]

Teleknesis, because all the other powers would be awesome, but involved effort to use. Like freezing time or being invisible and screwing with people even with the limitations expressed. However, Telekenesis is perfect, I don't need to get up, I can just will for stuff to come to me in bed. All the other skills would obviously be better if not for the limitations placed on them that include effort.

[Paul]

Well with the explanations, none of these sound all that attractive or necessary. But if I had to choose I guess fly.

[Shane P. Hallam]

After reading the stuff, I put my Top 3 as:

1. Time Travel
2. Invisibility
3. Time Freeze

Traveling back 5 minutes can stop all those stupid mistakes as well as you can time it out (even with the delay,) to do some crazy stuff, have knowledge about it, and still have it not happen (looking at test answers, etc. etc. etc.)

[princefielder28]

Time Travel

[BeerBaron]

interesting, interesting. thanks for the info so far.

i would have thought time freezing would have been a favorite but here in the early running, not so.

btw, if anyone thinks of some other powers with more realistic twists/drawbacks, let me know about them. or if you think of some interesting stuff to add to the current ones

[thule]

Time Travel for sure....usually when something goes wrong you know it right away....the ability to not get caught speeding....not get caught peeing in public....getting out of the party 5 mins before the cops come....not having sex with a chick that smells like old fish....all these could be avioded.

[LonghornsLegend]

Wow, this thread is pretty awesome, great idea man...But I would have to say time freeze, even though its only as long as I can hold my breath, it be enough to do damage with lol...Enough time to look at someones test in the room and get the answers, and im sure there is alot of other foolishness I could get into...That wins hands down with me


Good explanations on each power, just so people know they cant get out of control with it lol.

for sure, for sure. i could envision some minor although drawbacks though that would be similar to mind reading. say, your friends with a girl and you want to date her, so you ask her out and its a not go. you could go back and make it so you never asked, but boy would you feel awkward after that...i would.

though that probably wouldn't be enough to override the usefulness of the power though

oh i agree with the time freeze. i think that would be the one i would pick out of them. like i said a little earlier, i thought it would be a big player for favorite, but im starting to see the appeal of the time travel too

[bhaarat316]

i was reading shape shifiting and i thought of the family guy, and turning into boobs or a bra, but then you said no clothes.

i go tele

[S4L]

I chose invisibility for being able to sneak into and out of places (longer than breath holding for stopping time), as well as causing general mischief and debauchery.

[BeerBaron]

that makes sense. i think they each have their strengths and weaknesses though. with invisibility, everything is still happening in real time and you could still be grabbed or hit or something, even by accident, but it would be better than time freezing in that its time limit isnt as strict and you can go longer.


i think it depends on the types of mischief one is interesting in causing, lol

[Cashmoney]

Invisibility fa sho...

[fenikz]

flying, you could do so much stuff, would be easy to pick up on chicks or escape from cops...unless they started shooting at you

[DLionALL]

Shape-Shifting FTW. Being other people would rule.

[soybean]

time travel would do wonders for guys with the fear of rejection.

[VoteLynnSwan]

yea except you'd still know you were rejected...

[Crickett]

Question: In your examples, you use examples of physical exertion. You refer to flying as the same effort as swimming and teleportation as running fast. But, would you get the same benefits as say actually doing those activities?

Example: If you jog two miles every day, you will be healthier for it. Would that be true of teleportation in your example?

If so, I'd go with teleportation. Now only would it make me healthier without actually doing anything, but simply put, teleportation is a lot faster and more convenient than running at full speed.

If you run at full speed into a moving train, best case scenario, you won't get hurt too bad. If you teleport, well, you just hitched a ride.

Besides, I can't swim. I can float. Meaning I probably wouldn't be able to fly. Just levitate.

Time freeze would only be helpful in life or death situations if I can only freeze time for a minute or two.

If my assumption about teleportation is wrong, I'd go with invisibility.

Telekenesis only on small options you could carry would be fine if it didn't require mental strain. Then it just becomes a hastle.

Shapeshifting..... ich.

Time travel. I believe there was a movie with Nicolas Cage where he could what you describe. I haven't seen it so I can't figure out how useful this would be.

[Tobzilla]

XRAY vision ;)

[soybean]

XRAY vision ;)

why so you can see people's exo-skeletons?

[Forenci]

Well, I chose time travel, however, time freeze is also quite appealing.

..but with time travel it's such an epic way to fix things. You know, like if you piss your girlfriend off by 'saying the wrong thing'..BAM! Go back in time and fix it.

It's funny though. I took a psychology class last year, and they actually do something like this. Where you 'pick two powers' and it's supposed to tell you some deep down inner desire. It's probably why I dropped that class heading in my next year. I don't buy into that association with objects or images (ink blots for example) as being your subconsciouses mind at work.

Plus Freud is a freak.

Cool thread though.

How did that turn out? I never did anything like this in a psych class, but every time someone asks me what superpower I'd want, I usually go with teleportation. Mostly because I feel that I wouldn't be able to use flight to its maximum potential because of fear that the power would cut out on me while I was several hundred feet in the air.

[Go_Eagles77]

Invisibility so I could sneak into girls' rooms and watch them undress.... what? >_>

[villagewarrior]

Oh I would fly for sure, that would cut down so much on every day gas expenditure...not only would I be able to fly but I'd be rich too, win-win in my book.

[Bills2083]

Time Freezing is for me.

[Patriots16-0]

Invisibility.

ill try and take it step by step:

for the things that cause physical exertion, using them often will make you better at them, like exersizing. youll probably never get them to superhero levels but youll be able to do each thing longer, farther, faster, etc.

with the teleportation, yes you can say, pop into a moving car or be looking out a 3rd story window and pop down to the ground.

if you can't swim, thats ok. like i said, you don't have to make the motion or anything, it would just be like you're levitating. so it would put the same strain on you as if you were swimming, but you wouldn't have to know how to do it.

i haven't seen the cage movie either but it looked more like he could either see into the future a little bit or just slow time down or something. not sure either like i said

[BeerBaron]

you must be one hell of a swimmer then, lol.

[Brent]

Time Travel is by far the best of those. The second best to me was the time Freeze ability but with Time Travel, you can just about fix most mistakes you make, also I could clean up in Vegas playing card games.

[Go_Eagles77]

very true as long as you only play one hand per 10 minutes i guess. i would have to think that it would be very suspicious that you only show up at the table every 10 minutes, go all in, and win big. i suppose if you put your house up just once, you could win enoguh not to have to do it again for aw hile though, lol

[ripdw27]

i think flying would be pretty sweet, but so would time travel and invisibilty.

i can swim for awhile but not real fast so it might take me a while to get from a to b but just the fact of flying is awesome

time travel would help so much.. you could get out of so many things.. it would be killer in sports ie in football you would know every play in a 5 minute span.. you could ditch a party before police come.. its endless possibilites with that

invisibiltys biggest drawbacks is the short bursts of it.. other than that its seems pretty awesome as well

so i guess i go time travel

neat thread btw

thanks! im happy with the positive feedback ive gotten thus far.

and yeah, sports would be an interesting thing to use the time travel in....oh no! int returned for a TD! <travel back>....

but also, even things you don't alter might be different just due to chance. and also, you'd only get the one redo, and then you'd have to hope nothing else bad (or worse) happens during the next 10 minutes.

say your watching your team and your QB throws a pick 6. you go back, and that doesnt happen, but instead he gets his leg dove at, pops his knee, done for the year.....uh oh

[Crickett]

btw, if anyone thinks of some other powers with more realistic twists/drawbacks, let me know about them. or if you think of some interesting stuff to add to the current ones

Invincibility that costs you your sense of touch. Also, if you need to be operated on, you're S.O.L..... because you're invincible.

Super hearing where hearing loud noises hurts.... really bad. When I was younger I wouldn't say I had super hearing, but my hearing was very very acute. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone.

X-ray vision where prolonged exposure can give people you're using it on cancer.

[andyjo672]

To be 12 inches...soft.

[Thunder&Lightning]

time travel

X-ray vision where prolonged exposure can give people you're using it on cancer.

i think you'd be really screwed without your sense of touch, regardless of what you get in return. i think that one would be more of a cure

the super hearing also sounds like another curse, lol. that'd hurt like hell yet it wouldn't be overly overly useful unless your like...hunting....or something, and then you wouldn't want to be around the gunshot.

the x-ray vision...i just cant see being useful unless your like a doctor, then you wouldn't have to buy an xray machine i guess. but other than that, it just wouldn't help you all that much in day to day life

[Michigan]

To be 12 inches...soft.

why the hell would u want that. it would show out of the bottom of your boxers and be really uncomfortable to wear jeans or pretty much any other pants with. not to mention probably freak out the chick.

[BeerBaron]

why the hell would u want that. it would show out of the bottom of your boxers and be really uncomfortable to wear jeans or pretty much any other pants with. not to mention probably freak out the chick.

yeah, theres a point to how long you could possibly want it. in fact i read that the average girl can only take about 5-6 inches anyway....

i was also wondering wtf that had to do with this anyway...oh well

[andyjo672]

why the hell would u want that. it would show out of the bottom of your boxers and be really uncomfortable to wear jeans or pretty much any other pants with. not to mention probably freak out the chick.


10.5 isn't bad so far, so I figured, why not go for more...

[andyjo672]

Beerbaron, it was just a joke man, saying that if I had a superpower I would want it to be 12 inches...just making a cheap joke buddy.

[BeerBaron]

Beerbaron, it was just a joke man, saying that if I had a superpower I would want it to be 12 inches...just making a cheap joke buddy.

eh, its chill. did you actually pick one though?

[Stash]

I would take time travel, the possibilities are endless. You could fix any mistake you make, do all kinds of perverted stuff to chicks, beat the crap out of someone (your boss, your landlord, a referee, Joakim Noah) while suffering no consequences and so on. You could do pretty much anything as long as it takes less than 5 minutes.

interesting points, interesting points. i imagine it would feel good to beat the hell out of someone you really, really dont like even if you just go back on it and make it never happen. youd feel pretty good about it...

though what happens if you try that, and the other guys a better fighter than you and gives you a good knockout blow to the temple? you wouldn't be able to go back then and youd probably be facing some charges for starting it when you woke up...thatd suck

[drowe]

well, no matter what i end up with, i can pretty much guarantee that i'd use my powers only for evil or personal gain. i really don't think i'd take the time to help people. i'd either be seeing chicks naked, or hitting the casino, or just messing with people in general. maybe after a few years i'd get bored and start helping people....but i doubt it.

Haha yeah if I had the fly/levitate thing I would find David Blaine and accuse him of being an impostor and levitate on top of buildings and stuff.

That would suck, but you could avoid it with proper preparation. If you want to beat someone up but you think they might be stronger than you or a better fighter than you, just wear boxing head gear and use brass knuckles:)

i would help within reason. people i happen upon who i could help i would.

or maybe if i had time travel, id get a job in a hospital and get paid lots to just stand next to surgeries and if it goes bad, person dies, id zap back and warn the docs

[BeerBaron]

That would suck, but you could avoid it with proper preparation. If you want to beat someone up but you think they might be stronger than you or a better fighter than you, just wear boxing head gear and use brass knuckles:)

lol yeah, i suppose that would work. carry a bat in with you and give em a few good blows...then zap back

id like to mace someone personally. how funny would it be to hit someone you hate with pepper spray and watch em lay on teh ground crying like a little girl and then you can just zap back....

itd be al ittle unfulfillling knowing your the only person who ever saw it happen, but eh, itd be cool from time to time

[diabsoule]

I want Telepathy but I'll go with Shape Shifting.

[andyjo672]

eh, its chill. did you actually pick one though?

I chose Time Travel, because if I interpretted it correctly I would use it to bet on the Derby and other horse races. I probably misinterpretted it though, because I would think everyone would chose that if that was the case.

[BeerBaron]

I chose Time Travel, because if I interpretted it correctly I would use it to bet on the Derby and other horse races. I probably misinterpretted it though, because I would think everyone would chose that if that was the case.

do they really only last less than 5 minutes? cause i thought about that beforehand. ive just never watched them i guess or i would know (shows how much i care about horse racing i guess, lol)

but i think you could strike it rich with some of the other powers too.

why not turn invisible and break into a couple of atm machines. you wont show up on the security tape.

or freeze time while they ahve the bank vault open, run in and grab a sack of cash and run back out.

i guess stuff like that depends on how much you want others to know about your power too cause if someone invisible is robbing places, and your the only one around who can do that...

[Gay Ork Wang]

wow if i was shapeshifting i would be at home all day and pretty much just turn into girls lol

[Turtlepower]

Telekenisis because it allows you to fly. It is the only power that allows you to have two powers. =D

[niel89]

Telekenisis because it allows you to fly. It is the only power that allows you to have two powers. =D

No dice, you can lift your self with one arm?


Me personally I went with 5 min time travel. I could make tons of cash at roulette especially

[Dirty Thirty]

invisibility ftw. id get myself in a ton of trouble though.

[BeerBaron]

wow if i was shapeshifting i would be at home all day and pretty much just turn into girls lol

haha, i know what you mean but for future reference, you might want to throw in the disclaimer "to masturbate as a girl" or something, lol...

[Flyboy]

Telekinesis.

[JT Jag]

very true as long as you only play one hand per 10 minutes i guess. i would have to think that it would be very suspicious that you only show up at the table every 10 minutes, go all in, and win big. i suppose if you put your house up just once, you could win enoguh not to have to do it again for aw hile though, lolWell, the key would be to NOT do it every 10 minutes. Do it at random intervals and lose on purpose occasionally, and you could win 10,000$ in a night. Occasionally have "bad nights" where you don't use your power. After a couple years, you could amass a few million dollars with no one the wiser.

EDIT: I'd take "Time Fixing" over time freeze. Close, though.

[Caddy]

I've always been a fan of super speed ala the Flash.

[A Perfect Score]

for me, a big comic book fan, id have to go with the teleportation. Nightcrawler was always my favourite x-men, and i wont lie id love to have those powers. Lets not mention you could make a ton of money with that power too.

[mrlunch]

1: Time Travel -Ask several girls out, see if any would go out with me. And do stuff like ask girls what movie they would like to see, then travel back in time and use that information to impress them (would also help with Christmas/birthday presents).

2: Teleportation -Use it for getting in shape, and it would just be so cool.

3: Shape-Shifting -If it can't be used to make myself look more attractive or make certain appendages larger than it goes down to the bottom of the list.

4: Time Stopping -I'd use it to get my own TV show. Beat up people during time stops instead of having to actually having to fight them.

5: Telekinesis -Again TV show. Beat antagonists up from a distance.

6: Flying -TV show. Impress girls.

7: Invisibility -Not to sure. Maybe hangout in the girls locker room. Also maybe TV show.

I would try to help people but with low scale powers like this it would not make a significant impact, it would make more sense to start a TV show and donate to charity.


looks like i joined pretty late

[niel89]

I'd still take that 5 min time travel for my final tomorrow. I'd go in, see the test then reverse time to study for 5 min. During the test I would just walk out of the test find the answers then go back and work for 10 min before doing it again.

[TitanHope]

Quick question - Would Telekinesis give me the ability to perform telegasms ala Bruce Almighty? Because I would go into the male escort business and make bank. Plus, it'd just be funny to do to random girls in the mall or something.

Also, I for one think it's great that we think first about girls and cheating/abusing the system when we figure out uses for our powers. :cool:

[Cicero]

I voted time travel. Did you steal time freeze from Dragon Ball-Z haha?

[vidae]

Me personally I went with 5 min time travel. I could make tons of cash at roulette especially

I didn't even think about roulette when I voted, but I voted for Invisibility. The drawback you've given on this power isn't as big as say Freezing Time, where you have to hold your breath. Going invisible is just going invisible, not much else to it and you could do a hell of a lot with that.

[Rosebud]

Yeah, if I had any degree of telekinesis I would train it until not only could I rip through anything but I could also create defensive shield and manipulate matter at a molecular level.

[BeerBaron]

So this is ancient as can be, haha. Glad to see it's still raising the same debates it did with me and my friends originally.

[General Zod]

time freeze

Ive always thought it cool, ever since I saw that one Twilight zone where they could freeze time.

[B-Dawk]

http://www.saiyans-univers.com/images/mechants/guldo3.jpg

time freeze didnt work out too well for this guy

[Gay Ork Wang]

Frieza Saga for the win

[Paul]

Frieza Saga was to damn long and boring. Took Goku like 3 ******* episodes to gather up the spirit bomb, and it didn't even kill Frieza.

[Gay Ork Wang]

Frieza Saga was to damn long and boring. Took Goku like 3 ******* episodes to gather up the spirit bomb, and it didn't even kill Frieza.
Cell saga was boring as **** and Boo was even worse.
Frieza saga was awesome cause it was like the beginning of the whole Alien saga. The fight vs Vegeta doesnt count really since it was still on earth. And no super sayajin

[CJSchneider]

time freeze

Ive always thought it cool, ever since I saw that one Twilight zone where they could freeze time.

If I am correct, the episode ends just seconds prior to the nuclear missile striking the town and the guy realizes the implications of unfreezing time. Awesome.

[broth223]

Flying easily then I'd be an NBA star and get tons of cash and chicks and be famous. So you know win.

[killxswitch]

With some practice it'd be really easy to use time freezing effectively. I sat here holding my breath for a minute and it was a bit of a struggle and it took a few seconds to get my breath back, but holding it for like 10 seconds is nothing. You can do a lot in 10 seconds, and then get your breath back pretty quick, go another 10-15, repeat repeat...

edit: I didn't realize this was from 08. Neat topic though.

[Rosebud]

Flying easily then I'd be an NBA star and get tons of cash and chicks and be famous. So you know win.

If you're going for NBA fame I'd rather have telekinesis and be the first player to shoot over 90% from 3 for a season while averaging a quadruple double, points, assists, steals and rebounds.

If I am correct, the episode ends just seconds prior to the nuclear missile striking the town and the guy realizes the implications of unfreezing time. Awesome.

Yep, and there was one from the old series too, about some shmuck gets a stopwatch that freezes time from an old man, then in the process of robbing a bank, he drops the watch and breaks it, leaving him trapped in a time frozen world.

[General Zod]

Cell saga was boring as **** and Boo was even worse.
Frieza saga was awesome cause it was like the beginning of the whole Alien saga. The fight vs Vegeta doesnt count really since it was still on earth. And no super sayajin

I actaully liked the Buu saga, but yeah Frieza saga was the sheeet.

I just wish GT wasnt so god awful.

crazy bump . . .


time travel. the exact same thing niel said came to mind immediately. 35 to 1 payouts would get huge mighty quick.

With telekinesis the roulette table may aswell be a bank, wihtout having to mess with the flow of time.

[FlyingElvis]

but the limits on telekenisis wouldn't allow me to avoid that fatal car crash. 5 minute time leap would.

[A Perfect Score]

I think teleportation would be so cool. Like Jumper, but with the awfulness of Hayden Christensen.

I could be anywhere! At anytime!

That's why you practice, practice, practice once you realize you have telekinesis.

[FlyingElvis]

IDK, I'm awfully lazy.


:D

That's the beauty of telekinesis, you don't have to get off your ass to practice. Don't worry I've planned it all out already.

[FlyingElvis]

but you still have to practice. there's absolutely no effort to the 5 minute rewind.

[Rosebud]

Just think about hands free fapping, that's your practice.

[FlyingElvis]

the billions I win at the roulette table mean I never need to fap again. ;)

Liar. You'll never quit fapping.

[General Zod]

freezing time would sure help my texas hold 'em game :-)

aw, who am i kidding, if I could freeze time I would probably just do perverted stuff while time is froze and get myself in trouble.

Yeah but I'll be dunking from half court NBA Jam style.

[killxswitch]

Yeah but I'll be dunking from half court NBA Jam style.

Except it would be a slow-ass dunk.

You'd win a few times then get chased out or have your ass beat by the security....even if you see it coming and avoid the the beat down, you'll still have to leave the casino and probably the town before you became infamous for it.

[sweetness34]

I'd love to be able to time travel. Telepathy would be pretty awesome as well.

With the rules BB has put in place I'd go with time travel, even if it is for only 5 minutes. This way I can make the best choices possible if I **** up. That, plus I don't think I'd abuse the power like I would with telepathy or telekinesis.

[Splat]

I was going to say flying till you said you can only fly as fast as you can swim I can swim but not very well.

[mrlunch]

The things you could do with telekinesis are crazy. You can remotely use the strength of one arm. If you focus on something you are trying to lift that's a strength boost of 50%. If you use a powerful microscope you can move around atoms to change elements from on to another (assuming that you can only move things you can see, but I guess it would be hard to change enough toms for something significant). You could focus on yourself and extend you jumps or even levitate if you are really strong. You can punch people from a distance. Make force fields, they won't stop bullet but they can dampen punches.

[prock]

how many times have you said something, especially to a girl or a boss or something, and thought ah **** i wish i could restate that. then you could spend the next 4 and a half minutes thinking about what you could say that would be much better and then go back in time and say it. imagine how funny you could be at parties when you have 5 minutes to think of witty remarks rather than split seconds?!?!? i think its pretty clear that time travel would be the sickest.

[badgerbacker]

I think I voted for Time Travel, but after thinking about it, you could be the greatest football player of all time with the power to teleport.

[prock]

i wouldnt want any of these powers that are known and visible. you would be a ****** circus. they wouldnt let you play football or basketball if you could fly. that would be ********. id want something low key. hence, time travel.

[DoughBoy]

Why fly when you could teleport? Time Freeze would be cool though. My grades would be so goood.

[Charm City Byrdgang]

Time Travel, I'd use it to get rich then chill for the rest of my life.

[E-Man]

Flying, because the consequences aren't as dire. I really wanted invisibility, but I would stay invisible so long that I would only be able to do it a few times a week. I can swim decently fast, and my stamina would make flying fun for me.

[Gay Ork Wang]

Flying is overrated. So many insects and **** that just fly against your face all the time
