Found through the magic of Google Image Search (whilst trying to demonstrate that replacing the GUM sexual health clinic results text our students receive with a picture of Ackbar exclaiming, “It’s The Clap!” was a good idea).

Google Engineers figuring out which is the best superpower.
As powers go it obviously depends what you want to achieve but assuming you want to be a superhero of some sort (or even if you don’t) you need to think pretty carefully about the nature of your power.
Flight
If you want the power of flight because you’re lazy you need to make sure you’re not getting wings – even with (Arch)Angel-style hollow bones you’re going to have to flap those bad boys and flying is energy-intensive – you need to make sure you’re getting Nathan Petrelli style self-propelled flight.
Invisibility
A word of advice, anyone you meet who thinks Invisibility is the best power is a pervert. Straight up.
Teleportation
As the Google Engineers correctly surmise this is the power you want (of these three anyway). You don’t get the wind whistling through your hair as you soar on thermals, but you can get anywhere you like a hell of a lot quicker than flying there, and in terms of kicking ass (which neither of the others are that great for) the opening of X-Men 2 should tell you everything you need to know. Even if you don’t have a tail.
