I think most folx really fear FALLING FROM GREAT HEIGHTs with flight . . .that would not be an issue Rocket River
Good point. But I think once it's ingrained in you, it just doesn't go away. At least not with me. Just imagining standing on top of the big apple or staring down the deep oceans get my hands sweaty.
Flight easily. No question about it. Imagine all the $$$ I could get not to mention fame. I'd be known all over the world as the man that can fly. Chicks would line up literally just to get a chance to bang me. I'd make a sweet costume that would make me look like iron man. Imagine though the ability to go anywhere at any time.
Good point. To answer other questions (as best as I humbly can): -Your ears would pop. Your body hasn't changed except the ability to defy gravity. -Your brain would be utilized to the maximum possible. Not sure if that's using your 10% the best or if that enables you to use more than 10%. -Phobias are irrational. But if you could fly, it would help to gradually ease fear of falling that into oblivion. -Chicks would line up to pay for sex with you if you flew based on genetic speculation. You don't know that it's not the case, but you don't know that it is that your kids would be able to fly. Another moral decision.
QUESTION: What does perfect health look like at 100 yrs old? No osteoperosis. No heart conditions. No diabetus. No cataracts. No Viagras Would Perfect health translate to immortality [at least exceptional long life] Rocket River
Just a small comment, the thing about only using 10% of your brain is a myth. http://www.snopes.com/science/stats/10percent.asp That is all.
Would have to go with perfect health, as if you were truly capable of fight, you'd have to keep it a secret to avoid attention from religious nutsos, government, terrorists, etc. Flight would also be extremely limited in scope; superspeed is all but out, since your reflexes wouldn't be fast enough/wouldn't be able to see far enough in advance; if you hit anything, you're all but guaranteed to die from falling, and the friction on your skin would be painful as all hell. So realistically, you're looking at going maybe 25mph in low atmosphere? Hell, if you truly wanted to be a superhero, you could easily become the greatest assassin/spy ever; as you could undergo virtually unlimited plastic surgery to become anyone with little downtime and your body would heal itself perfectly every time. Not to mention you could unleash deadly diseases on terrorists.
- I figured the 10% of brain use was somewhat of a misnomer. I know people that can't possibly use even that much. Thanks, DH. -Immortality? Possibly. Is genetic decay age related? -You wouldn't have to fly naked. Personally, I would rig up a nice aerodynamic bulletproof suit. People ride motorcycles at speeds far in excess of 25mph in t-shirts. I do like the point for reflexes/vision being a weakness for high-speed flying. Do base jumpers hit birds? The spy/assassin angle is super cool.
Definitely perfect health. It's no contest. If people started flying around, the government would ban it. Perfect health would mean I could drink, smoke, party, and eat all I want (in a fantastic display of hedonism) without ill-effects. If you've ever partied so hard, you can't **** right for a couple of months, you'd probably agree.
One of the things about Wolverine's healing factor is that it is hard for him to get drunk. With Perfect health . . . would you be harder to get drunk and would you get sober faster? Rocket River
Flight. The ability to escape whenever I wanted is appealing. Plus a transatlantic flight is very expensive.
I've always dreamed about flying so I would choose that. I have to agree that some of the limitations of flying would make it less attractive. If I still got cold and my ears would pop etc, then I would have a hard time flying higher than a mile off the ground... which would still be awesome as all hell.
Can I carry a woman while flying, and are any women or lots of other men able to fly also? Cuz I just think it'd just be a nice opening act. Otherwise, the health thing, which I imagine would allow you to participate and perform well in more activities, would be a nice advantage socially. I think you'd be able to project charisma and subconsciously develop more self confidence.
