    When asking about a superpower you'd like to have, being able to fly is a response that comes up fairly frequently. The thought of being able to traverse the skies as bird do is appealing to people, there's a sense of freedom associated with it. That and you don't have to pay ridiculous money to go places :|
    If you were given the ability to fly, would you be happy or not? Would you make use of it often or occasionally, if at all?
    Would you prefer to have wings or fly without them? Keeping in mind that the size of the wings required to carry a human's weigh would be very large. If yes to wings, would you be willing to sacrifice your arms for them or not?

    I'm a pilot, who needs superpowers? :P
    I would be happy and I'd probably use it daily. I would also prefer no wings.

    I would love to be able to fly, granted my angel wings would be large. Yes, I said angel wings. I mean they're just so pretty. Anyhow, I would love to fly mainly because the world is so vast, and being able to see most of it would be amazing.

    I'd have wings but make them fordable. Then I can stick a massive middle finger up at Pit because I'm a douche like that

    Ye, I can just avoid car tax and that would be good. D'you reckon if everyone flew there would be Fly Tax? That'd be my main issue. on the plus side, NO SKY-HIGH PETROL! Just sky-high people

    No way man. I'm kinda acrophobic, so I don't know if I could deal with being up in the air with nothing supporting me. I get twitchy and nervous when there's something supporting me.

    But if I did want to fly, I don't want wings. Nah, those would be too cumbersome. I'd rather have the levitation-like ability to just suspend myself in the air.

    I am fairly positive I have to answer 'yes' to this question on principle. However, as with any superpower, there are several stipulations and conditions I must propose before I would accept this.

    Were I able to fly, I would thus become a dragon, now physically as well as mentally. Size isn't necessarily a deciding factor, but I have to remain at minimum the size I am right now, and the larger the better. Arms are also far too useful to sacrifice for the ability of flight, as it involves a loss of dexterity and defense in case of attack or other adversity.

    Dragons are large, imposing, powerful, yet majestic creatures. Were I granted this ability, I would show the world exactly that.

    I am Eclipse; hear me roar.

    No, what would people think? It'd just be too weird and I don't like drawing too much attention to myself ;u;

    I'd love to fly without wings, but if I were the only one to have that power, flying around freely wouldn't be the wisest choice as it would draw massive amounts of attention to myself, which I don't want at all. People would try to capture me and send me to labs for testing and whatnot - all the things humans do to try to understand something new and strange. To prevent that, the only time I'll be able to safely fly would be at night, but that wouldn't be very safe at all either because of lower levels of vision due to lack of light. If my power of flight came with night vision and/or invisibility, then heck yes, I'll take it.
