Here are the comments a person who chose invisibility as their superpower of choice:

I would choose invisibility because I have a hobby which would be much more fun if I could do it unobserved.

The first time I practiced my hobby, I was in my 20's and making more money than I needed. A close friend of mine, an artist of considerable talent, had married the father of her *surprise* baby girl. He was a nice man, but a bit of a loser, not much of a provider.

Several times, we had been shopping in an art supply store together when I observed my friend to sigh deeply as she looked at the fine rag paper and Compte crayons available at a price far too steep for her budget.

One afternoon, I visited the art supply store alone and purchased a large supply of the rag paper and every color of Compte crayons available, as well as blending stumps and a good set of drawing pencils. I gift wrapped them. The next morning when I got off work, I placed the packages on her doorstep, rang the doorbell and ran like hell!

She was puzzled as to where the gifts had come from. There was no card. She wanted to send her thanks and knew not where to send it. It was great fun. She still doesn't know it was me.

The second time was for a male friend. He had mentioned numerous times that he would like to know what it was like to cover his whole body with whipped cream and let a bunch of kittens lick it off. One Saturday morning, I took a large cardboard box, a roll of gold paper, some scotch tape and a big red bow on my mission. I went to everyplace that advertised free kittens in the paper and took all they had. I put them in the big box. I bought several cans of Redi-Whip and placed them in the box. Then I wrapped the box with the gold paper, punching holes for the kittens to breathe, tied the package with the big red ribbon and set the package on his doorstep. I rang the bell and, again, ran like hell. He still talks about it. I've done other stunts such as these, enjoying it immensely each time. My one regret is that, not being invisible, I don't get to see the look on my victim's face!

A person who chose flight as their superpower wrote this:

My choice will be Flight. Just like " The master's eye is everywhere".. Keeping an eye on the world with such a gift can be absolutely useful for changing the face of the world. Humans, with their extreme materialism has depleted our beautiful and bountiful Earth. Threats like Global Warming and depletion of Ozone layer can be sought out a bit with this power as with flying at such a great speed and altitude will make me see through the depletion rate and damage clearly. This close inspection, which sometimes is not possible by Science and their work, will bring great help to Earthlings.The observations I make can help scientists to solve the pressing issue.

Another use for which I chose this power over invisibility is that its always good to lead from the front and not hide. Like heroes(both of comics and our real society), we must stand in the light and also lead others who cannot lead themselves. With flight, I can have a watch on the smooth working of the world,sometimes help catch criminals, help find lost treasure and artifacts, help the poor to bring them out of slums and placing them at a better place after I find a safe and secure place for them.

Thus I can help the environment, the poor(havenots), society with this amazing power. If I stand for all these good reasons, I shall stand tall rather turn invisible.
