I think that since the original question was "which superpower would you choose", it should be obvious that the flight in question would be like Superman's and the invisibility in question would be like Sue Storm's. You can fly when and how you want, you can become invisible when and how you want -- it's a superpower for crying out loud. So questions about the mechanics, the physics, the science are all irrelevant.

The comparison isn't relavant. Superman and Sue Storm are fictional characters. I am not fictional. How superpowers apply to fictional characters is not comparable to how superpowers would apply to real people.

LOL, I guess computer geeks can't understand the nature of this exercise.

I think it's the exact opposite - geeks can understand the nature and ramifications of the question, but others quickly gloss over the details.
