invisible
hands down

Just think of the insider trading opportunities!

Hi Poet

If I were a super hero, with high moral standards, I'd have to choose to fly. If I weren't forced to be the good guy, then invisible would be nice. I would be able to easily steal things and spy on people (not in a perverted way). Of course I'd use that ability like a hacker uses his skills - only when needed and for the good. If you were invisible, imagine what governments you could spy on.

Poet, I'm not sure how best to respond. I've been flying since the '40s and think it is the second greatest experience known to man ... landing is the first.***

I love flying ... it helps restore perspective. One thought I have, almost every time I fly, happens when I fly over a town. I look down and think, "There's someone in that town that thinks they're important!" That thought has a wonderfully sobering effect on me.

The problem is that I don't think these observations are responsive to your question.

Given the choice you offered, I suppose I'd opt for flying, an activity toward which I am already predisposed. I have no desire to be the center of attention, but neither do I wish to be invisible.

Hmmm... at first, that's a tough one... but, after a little thought, to fly would be way cool.
The problem with being invisible is too much temptation... some things are meant to be left alone. To be the fly on the wall would, no doubt, eventually cause grief... seeing or hearing something not meant for you to witness. Yeah... it'd be too fun to fly...

Definitely invisible. Think of all the conversations you could eavesdrop on!

I'ed have to say Flying! In about half my dreams lately I have been flying. For some reason I have a great bit of trouble getting of the ground.
