>>103706137a product of power creep.
unassisted flight, is an insanely good superpower.
Solo flight is something mankind has been attempting for centuries.
Flight would be one of those powers that would be incredibly useful in day to day lives. as well as logistics of an actual "superhero", or well firefighter/cop, etc.
Like, comics ignore the actual logistics of travel, or reconnaissance. its all magic bullshit. They just KNOW where to be and were to go. in reality, the ability to just FLY up over a forest to search and rescue. or, FLY up, with a firehose, over a burning building.. FLY up and get people out of burning skyrises. Coast guard- fly over and pull people out of the water, from sinking boats. you have any idea how powerful flight would be for a life guard?
Flight would let your rescue thousands more people in any real scenario, then punch harder powers.
