ZippyDSMlee:
Invisibility sucks unless you get bonus to silent movement and sound repression.

Actually, humans are much more likely just think it was the wind, a cat/dog or their imagination than figure out it's an invisible guy. And even then you could just pretend to a ghost.

ZippyDSMlee:
and one good hit and yo are dead, just because you are invisible dose not make you super human nor silent. The same problem comes with flying, humans are fragile things.

Actually, once again you overestimate humans and underestimate invisibility, then can't see you and you could just out of the way in time, move constantly or just move away from the spot you were standing at every time you say something. And I already covered silence. One last thing, in what world will a human take a killing-blow level lunge at something they can't see? Okay, one more thing: If it comes to that just kill them before they kill you, keep a gun or something on your person.

Flight.

Assuming the powers are in a comic book style, so the real physics of things don't apply, then flight. The potential is limitless there, just you have to put the work in. You could become a real Superman, so long as you actually took the time to train your body.

The people here saying they want invisibility to blatantly break the law in some pretty extreme ways, as well as doing horrible things to other people, make me fear for the future of society even more than I did already. I'm not being all 'use your powers for good', and I mean shit, if it'd take invisibility to get you that close to a girl then ok, whatever, if that's what you want to do to get your rocks off... but dudes, thems is some pretty terrifying impulses to be considering, yo.

Ok , i'm tired of this , if you can fly they won't spot you on the radar , and if they do you'll either be too small or they'll come after you but they can't shoot unless you attack them . Why is flying a show off?Because you can fly and others can't or what? , anyway if you are invisible it would be fun for a while but if you could fly you could see the whole world for free (imagining that you can travel at at least 300 mph)

Both?

Invisibility.

Nobody said anything about 300 miles an hour, you wouldn't survive going that fast by yourself. And you can see the whole world without flying by yourself, the isn't 1846, get in an airplane, ya cheap bastard. With invisibility you just sneak into an airport and fly anywhere you wanted, and how many times do you really want to go to Australia? I'd get tired of flying in a week.

Invisible Wings.

Flight.

For all of you picking invisibility for pervy reasons, just remember this: people rarely look up.

Think about how many times a day you look up. Not very often, is it? It's mostly horizontal or down. You can loom and be just as invisible to most people.

Plus it's more practical.

Not many people look up, but in the average girls locker room people look at, you get a pretty clear view of the ceiling just by looking normally (that's under the assumption it's roughly the same as the boy's locker room at the few schools I've been to).

Then you have to deal with the fact few ceilings are easily grippable and somebody WILL eventually look up, (and suction cups are INSANLY noisy), so you can't use looming to your advantage.

Also, getting there to loom would be a problem. I mean, unless you intend to pick the lock to the girls gym/wherever you want to perv and hang in the ceiling until class starts, somebody is going to notice you get into position.

Right now? I would have to say flight...I guess when I was younger I would have chosen invisbility but now that I'm 15...I actually want to go places, but I don't have rides.

I pick... Invisibility.

Reason: It's rlly simple, actually. Once I gain my invisibility, I create my own freak circus in which all I have to do is go invisible, then reappear. This would obviously since make lots of money since... I mean rlly, who wouldn't want to see a dude disappear and reappear o.o

It wouldn't take me long to get a lot of money... Enough money for oooo... I don't know... A private plane or mabe a JetPack of some sort.

^This way, I basically cheat my way into having both n.n

milomalo:
flight... why this post... didnt have a poll?

Because I like reading why people would choose one over the other. This way they can't just click a button without explaining why.

Zak , the whole ideea of flying and becoming invisible isn't really easy to do with a human body , so if you can magically fly and become invisible , why couldn't you fly as fast as a plane... and with the maneuvrablity(don't know how to spell it:D) of a falcon . you could hover over the city , or go anywhere at any given moment , that's the beauty of it , you can't take a plane to you grandma's village can you , that's what i'm talking about . invisibility in my opinion is just for some pranks , or some peeping , small things , you can't just rob a bank , the have movement sensors that detect any movement , and the work like a sonar , then you have heat detectors , fingerprints if you're too dump not to wear gloves...

Both. I would fly directly into windows to scare the living hell out of people and maybe cover myself in LEDs to make people think aliens are invading.

I cant believe this, the myriad of criminal opportunities, and everyone wants to use their invisibility to watch girls getting changed. Your lack of vision saddens me :(

I'd have to go with flight... seeing as how the whole sneaking into girls changing rooms isn't nessisary if you /are/ a girl XD

5 Years ago it would have been invisibility. But now I'm gonna have to go with flight.

Invisibility. who needs the power of flight when you have stolen all of fort knox's gold and can afford your own private jet?

Moderately long time lurker, first time poster. I just felt compelled to respond to this.

To be completely honest, this thread has given me cause to worry, significantly, about the mental conditions of those online, as well as generally (seems like everything on the internet does this) lower my stock in humanity. Discussing the various disgusting or at the very least, immoral, uses for invisibility, honestly... But, there seems to be a thing you're overlooking. Unless you stay invisable 100% of the time, you may very well get caught, as you leave bits and pieces of yourself wherever you go, whether or not people will notice it at the time. However, when you start the murdering/robbing/whatever, you'll likely get forensic investigation of the scene. And, if you participate in human society whatsoever, this may be tracked back to you. Additionally, breaking into fort knox/whatever isn't near as easy as you all seem to think. Invisible or not, there is still such a thing as a bank vault, infrared sensors, and other various techniques of detecting invisible people (and, yes, I'm sticking to this point. The name of the thread is 'invisibility or flight' not 'undetectability or flight'). And, if the authorities know you are 'invisable' (or, at least, very good at not being seen), they will be significantly less restrained in the methods they use to apprehend you, rather than allow a murderer/rapist/whatever else to continue as a menace to the public.

This brings me nicely to my next point: Publicity. Yes, Flying is much more obvious, but it is also much, much less likely to have you locked away preemptively, because of the near-impossibility it would be to attempt to catch an invisable when induldging in nastier vices or committing other acts that society doesn't usually tolerate, when the same is not true for a flying person. If you could fly, yes, you might frighten some people, but I'd say that you're just as likely to be looked as a quaint trick, a badge of honor for your country, being the only 'super'human on the planet. By contrast, if you had the potential to do an endless list of detrimental things, without most anyone being able to stop you, or even defend themselves, I don't doubt that most 'normals' would think twice about having you locked up for good. And, if they designed somewhere for you to be kept, going invisable wouldn't help, they could just gas you to sleep, then restrain you, as necessary. As such, I would say flight, as, really, I don't have too terribly many inhumane or perverse ideas that I'm too much of a coward to try out as I am. Besides, the travel possibilities of flight are frankly, fantastic, as long as one assumes that it's superman-or-better level flight, regardless of the various impossibilities that'd represent (because you have at least as many with workable invisibility).

Ultimately only my take on it, however.

asmodaus:

Ask us again what the value of flight is when your plane suffers abrupt engine failure at 40,000 feet...

To be completely honest, etc

Yeah, If you start doing stupid shit. Stick to theft and you gotta know your boundaries when it comes to that sort of thing. Just dont get carried away and dont rape anyone (or murder for that matter)....yeesh. I do sometimes wonder if people who come out with that sort of thing actually know any girls/women beyond superficial everyday contact. I have the distinct feeling that the answer is most often 'no' and that this being a fantasy type question, people are giving 'fantasy' answers, i.e. they wouldn't actually do so if put in that situation for real and would probably desist with any form of joking about rape if they knew any women that had been raped.

Invisibilty. Who needs flight when you can just swipe a helicopter, plane, or just walk onto a plane and skip the whole 'buying a ticket' bit?

I have to go with invisibility. Apart from the obvious voyeristic opportunities, you'd be able to sneak into just about anywhere, and do nearly anything with little consequence, provided you were sneaky enough. Flying is overrated. Come across one really angry guy with a gun, and you're looking at getting grabbed by the Duck Hunt dog, if you catch my drift.

I'd have to go with Flight simply becuase it stops working becuase someone knows a person can do that an decides to put on some special glasses/goggles I.E. Thermal or Blacklight related gear inwhich case your invisiblity would be less than useless if you took on a life of grand theft (Someone would notice stuff seemingly vanish over a period of time an think out of the box an get the above mentioned stuff) Same could happen for Assassins I would think.
Flight though you could do legal vetures an could likly have less people trying to kill you can going against nature an possibly being a demon but as far as i can tell some can't stop you from flying by putting on a pair of glasses it just seems better as a stand alone power.... unless it somehow it's before the invention of the above problems.

If the flight can be reduced to a float or hover mode then I could counter your act with a walking on water act, floating with a Ring passing complety around me, walking on a ... burning tightrope that comes out from under me while wearing a blindfold an keep walking or hopping in a box with Mirrored glass an make it look like someone else can levitate it with a person inside.

Oh an since no one seems to think personal flight has any ability for assassination then how about if your target is boarding a plane private or public you put on a lite armored/bullet proof suit with mask of course fly quick an low to the plane seconds after it takes off an attach a bomb no way it could land safely in 3 minutes an if a oxygen tank was present then "flying" under water to loose any followers wouldn't be too difficult granted the flying method isn't based on wind or air.
