    Be able to turn invisible but only when stationary. Or the ability to fly but only as fast as you could swim (essentially the ability to swim in the air)

    Would I still be invisible if I was standing still and having a ****?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,825 ✭✭✭Timmyctc


    Yeah. Your feet have to be stationary. You still make noise though. I guess it might wear off if someone like bumps into you and pushes you

    Hmm, the ability to perv quietly or float about? Tough one. Fly I guess.

    Neither. The government would heavily tax both abilities.

    Suppose that aswell but would my stuff be invisible or would I be leaving white dots all over the place?

    anything you excrete isnt invisible unless its stuck to your body. Wet the bellybutton and youre grand, But if you shoot it out it'll become visible.

    Invisible, swimming through the air would be very tiring....and slow in my case


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,785 ✭✭✭Ihatecuddles-old


    I'm quite a strong swimmer so I'll pick fly.

    Can you not stand still?

    No way, that would be crap.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,199 ✭✭✭CardBordWindow


    Would you have to do the swimming action to move through the air?
    Coz that would look stupid!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,012 ✭✭✭BizzyC


    walk in to bank, stand still till everyone leaves, loads of monies....
    It's not exactly a power that could be used for good in any situation.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,103 ✭✭✭mathie


    I'd choose superhuman strength but with fists that could only move at regular human speed.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 24,878 ✭✭✭✭arybvtcw0eolkf


    Fly.. Its easy to hide/camo up and become largely invisible.

    Yup, I'd love to swim through the sky :)

    Eh, the camera's will still be rolling when you de-invisibilise yourself.

    yeah, stand around for ages waiting for someone to walk into you and scare'em? You can do that by keeping up close to a corner sure. Free trips, how? You'd need to get pass whatever ticket check is in place and then stand on the damn thing. THat's if no-one see's you walking to where you stand and then dissappear and subsequently reappear.

    How could anyone NOT picking swimming through the sky? That would be fricken amazing!!!

    Only pervs pick invisibleness :p


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,988 ✭✭✭Spudmonkey


    Fly, after watching the walking dead I'd prefer the ability to get off the ground than be invisible.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22,559 ✭✭✭✭AnonoBoy


    I already have a super power.

    The ability to make cars turn left at intersections. This only works sometimes though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,988 ✭✭✭Spudmonkey

    The breaststroke, you'd fall if you tried the frontcrawl.

    If I'm invisible why the fcuk would I need to get a ticket? Just have to walk by everyone and onto the plane
    And also if I'm invisible how is anyone gonna see me?

    Ah, sure don't you already have a special ability - the ability to turn parts of the OP invisible... but only to yourself

    Sounds **** to be honest. It would make things very awkward. How would you get into someones room without them seeing you? Even if you do then theres the risk they will bump into you or even hear you breathing.
    I pick the flying

    Well this is the point. They're very mild super powers. Makes the decision tougher.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,075 ✭✭✭Wattle


    I'd choose the fly thing but would I have to wear Speedos and a swimming hat? Cos I'm thinking it might get a bit cold at
    30,000 feet.

    The invisible thing is so ****, how could you get into a place where you can take advantage of it? Being able to fly at all is far, far better than that.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,501 ✭✭✭BrokenArrows


    Id pick the flying.

    You could modify your flying speed with a jet pack.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,012 ✭✭✭BizzyC


    But what if you get too tired to keep swimming while mid-air?
    I'd be quicker walking anyway, you'd want to be a very good swimmer to get any use out of that power.


    Invisible one could be used at work too.
    Angry boss on the way over, go invisible....

    If you stop swimming in water you sink so same would happen in air. As long as you dont stop moving altogether you should sink gracefully. You can swing your arms or whatever when invisible its as long as both feet are stationary. So it would work on an escalator for example.
