Current Events > Which of these flight/flight adjacent powers would you rather have?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Which one would you prefer CE?

You can still hurt yourself by falling, landing in a way you shouldn't, hitting something, or falling asleep, but the act of doing any of these itself will not hurt you.

For instance, you will not tear your arms in any way from web slinging.

Discuss.

What about landing from super jump?

The low speed option seems like the only one thats unlikely to result in major injuries.

It won't hurt you as long as you land anywhere from your feet, all the way up to your knees.

I think the flying surfboard is the way to go. It would be like a traffic avoider entirely. No stoplights or anything.

does it run on gas? Or battery?

how long is the battery life?

can I lose it or is it like magically mine? Will I get arrested for using it?

depending on those answers I think I have my pick

Id rather have the freedom of the flight, even if it was slower.

Plus, if you can fly independently of technology, you never have to worry about falling, youd be able to sneak by levitating yourself, etc.

Yeah but do you get kidnapped and scientifically tested on for being a flying person?

It is magically yours

You will not be arrested for using it (unless you are using it to commit some other crime)

It does not run out of battery.

option 4 + a wingsuit

Thats a question for TC.

Web slinging might be useless, depending on the environment. And also messy.

Low speed flight could be fun, but only of limited use.

Surfboard means carrying it around with you, which seems inconvenient.

Massive jumps isn't as useful as it seems. Sounds like hard work travelling more than short distances, and the injury risk is high.

Eh, guess I'll take the 20mph option.

You might be questioned and people will have their own thoughts and opinions if you start using it in a super obvious manner all over your everyday life.

However no one will kidnap you or hurt you for it alone. Some people may wish to do some routine medical testing on you for science, but no one will hurt you or make you do anything against your will.

The surfboard can just to you when you need it, you don't need to carry it anywhere.

That all day long then. Easy way to skip the Hanoi traffic, and you never travel more than that kind of speed here really anyway.

There are pros and cons with the flying or the surfboard. Id say those are easily the top two.

I think flying would probably win in the end.. but its a tossup for me

Low speed flying is op. No need to worry about where to stash or repair your goblinboard, and you can fly over lakes and oceans, unlike the jumping and web abilities.

Agreed. Especially as somebody who lives in a city of lakes.

low speed flight still pretty good. no need to walk anymore =]

prob better than bicycle for travel too tbh

Less likely to injure yourself too id say, which is a noticeable risk for all the others... espicially the super jump.
