Manusförfattaren John August har ett roligt inlägg om varför han skulle välja förmågan att kunna flyga om han fick välja en (och bara en) superkraft.
Han tar upp några andra krafter som var och en har brister på något vis, fast som någon skrivit i kommentarerna så borde man få många flugor i ansiktet om man flyger… 
Exempel:
Super-strength
Consider this: You’re the world’s strongest man in the middle of the Sahara desert. Not so fuggin’ helpful, is it?
Power ring
Don’t insult me. Green Lantern has no superpowers. He has a prop.
Telekinesis
It would be handy to move things with one’s mind. But I don’t really need this power, because I have production assistants. Witness: “Linde, would you get me a Diet Coke with Splenda, please?†And it arrives, as if by magic. (As a general rule, any superpower that can be closely approximated by paying someone minimum wage is not really a superpower.)
I’m going to leave out the truly lame superpowers like weather control, because you know the so-called heroes who have these abilities are secretly ashamed. They’re the synchronized swimmers of the superhero Olympics: sure, you get to compete, but don’t pretend it’s the same. You’re embarrassing all of us.
