Neither one, on it's own, is all it's cracked up to be. (The better question would probably be, 'Whose super powers would you rather have, Sue Storm's invisibility powers or Superman's flight power?' But now I'm just geeking out…)
Flight? How fast? How far? How high? Can you deal with slamming into a Canadian goose at "X" miles per hour?
Invisibility. People tend to equate it with being undetectable. Not quite. Infrared, pressure sensors, sound monitors, who knows what else. If what you're carrying isn't invisible, that's going to crimp your style too. And you won't go unnoticed long if you can't even see that your own elbow is about to knock a vase off a table.
That said, lets read between the lines a little and say that the "super" part of the power includes one of those nifty 'auras' around you that protects you while you fly (At a decent rate of speed. Flying two feet off the ground at 5 mph isn't very "super".) and makes whatever you're wearing invisible too.
I'll take flight just because it's cool. :biggrin:
Now the question is, cape or no cape?
