The other day I was reading an interview and one of the questions the interviewer asked was..."If you could be invisible, fly, or have super strength, which would you choose?" I thought it was an interesting enough question that I should pose it to the G|A masses.

So vote and explain yourself.

Fly...because while strength would be great for the ass kicking potential, flying beats traffic and allows one to taunt from a safe distance, which is always satisfying.

Uh oh, might have a problem with adverse selection here. I think a lot of poeple who frequest message boards enjoy taunting at a distance.

Nah... I picked invisibility from the ones chosen, but if I could have any super power, I would definitely choose the power to be able to give powers to and take powers away from people. :)

Flight is cool but you just can't jump into the air in public. Controling time would be THE BEST! But on this list i'd have to select invisibility

I always wished I could have the power to find things. Think about it, you could find things you misplaced, or you could find the right answer on a test, or finding your soulmate in a crowd of people...seems like there could be a lot of ways this power can be used...am I alone on this one?

Cool idea, that would be really useful

Invisibility, totally. The one thing on the list that you could get the most use out of. Flying and being strong would just be cool.

Yes, but with ivisibility you could taunt them from an inch away if the package also comes with throwing your voice. ;) Besides, wouldn't it be nice to walk around naked on those hot summer days?

Not Flying because it's way too cold up there and I'm from Southern CA.

Not Invisible because I'm not a voyeur... No, seriously.

Strength to impress the ladies and to get be a professional athlete making millions a year.

Most of this would be helped with a better memory.

I wouldn't want to fly cus I'd probably get into a high speed accident.

Strength would be cool.

If I were invisible, I could steal from the vault at Bellagio and be a very rich man.

but if u guys had the power to control people's minds, then i can control all of you to do my evil deeds :D can control people to give me the keys to vaults.. control women's minds to do what i want.. control the people of America to give me their money and vote me in as president.. :)

Just remember...these abilities are insignificant next to the power of The Force.

I'd take invulnerability. Not being hurt would be great. I'd jump out of planes with no chute just for the rush, etc.

but after a while, the novelty will fade, and since you can stand in front of a bullet, everything else will seem inconsequential.

I'm sure the novelty for every power would fade. In the long run, invulnerability would be the most useful. You can be sure you will die of old age.

time control would be cool...fixing up wut u screwed up on etc.

but out of the three i think i'd like to fly...but that'd hafta be fly in any situation, sleeping, awake, sick etc.

but it'd hafta be without flapping my arms because that would just look moronic, and i wouldn't hafta fly without my body being horizontal to the ground, so i could pretend i was walking on air :)
oh and being able to go super super fast while flying, top speed just being around speed of sound :)

but yes being able to sleep while ur sleeping would be a big thing for me...

super strong...well i dunno wut u would do with that...
and invisibilty i dunno wut u would do with that either...

wouldn't invulnerability protect you from the test of time and old age too? :P for me, using my powers to control people and their minds, i'll hire you as my body guard, and you'll take all the bullets for me. :)

Novelty of flight would fade but usefullness wouldn't. It will always be nice to get away from crowds of slow moving people.

invulnerability is the ultimate insurance. think of how you would live your life knowing nothing could hurt you.

Unless of course you drowned... or suffocated from the smoke in a burning building... or were burried alive by DF using his super strength. Then invulerability would suck.

I'll take perfect precognition... and tommorrows winning lotto numbers are...:P

If you had perfect precognition and you saw someone other than you winning the lottery, then how could you win the lottery and still have perfect precognition? Nah... some things, I'd rather not see coming.
