This is the most famous superpower question of all time, and it splits almost every group in half. Flying is about freedom and the view from above. Invisibility is about secrets, surprises and slipping away unnoticed. What you pick says a lot about whether you want to be seen or not.
The case for “Be able to fly”
- You skip traffic forever and get anywhere in a straight line.
- Sunsets, mountains and cities look amazing from the sky.
- It is the classic hero power, and everyone would want a ride.
The case for “Be able to turn invisible”

Our take
We lean toward flying. Invisibility is fun for a day, but it mostly helps you avoid things, while flying helps you go places. The best answers we hear come from people who explain exactly where they would fly first.
Keep the debate going
Make it harder: you can only fly as fast as you can walk, or you turn invisible but your shadow stays visible. Does your answer change?
