Invisibility.
Easy choice, it has way more uses than flight.

I could say i'd pick invisibility but it could have all sorts of unnessecary complications like nit effecting clothes,not being controlable but since you said "flight" and only "flight" that would lead me to assume that there's a catch. eg:i spontanaousley grow wings(that would be cool)or i have to fly in the terrible irish weather that i'm living in.

Because it has less strings attached i'd pick flight.Even if people could see me robbong a bank,they couldn't catch me.

Invisibility would be fun, like pulling pranks and stuff but i'd have to go with flight because it would be fun and pretty cool.

Invisibility. Sure, flight sounds good, but you'll have to wear snow gear if you don't want to freeze to death and there's the ever-present danger of getting sucked into plane turbines or being mistaken for enemy cruise missiles.

The only good thing about flight is that if you get into a fight, you can...

Oh, that's right. Invisibility.

Invisibility, if its controllable because you can just stow away on a helicopter/plane thats going to were you want to go. But if its not controllable then flight.

Also can I point out people have been looking to far into this, jacobschndr just meant like superheroes in comics/films that can do it without an explanation other then, alien, bit by spider, fell in chemicals, etc.

Flight? what is this 1903 Mr. Orville Wright? I fly all the time, no I'll have me some invisibility. Just think of the perks of driving anywhere like the car was driving itself.

invisibility, no question about it.

I would love nothing more then to have noone know I existed, stealing a bed to sleep in, a game system to play, and food to eat

yes, that's a little sad.

but when it comes down to it, being able to fly.. eventually you have to land and pay taxes.

being invisible, you can be like "screw that!"

The problem with flight is the limitations and physics, what speeds are we talking here, can we breathe well way up there, how high can I fly and what about wind resistance?

Invisibility has a shorter list but a list nonetheless. Can I be heard and do I leave footprints etc...
The most pertinent question I have is "would I be able to see?"

If light passes through your entire body you'd be blind.
Really the idea of being transparent or the light bending forcefield seems unworkable. In both cases you retinas would be invisible and you wouldn't be able to see. I think the best solution came from a David Eddings book. The You can't see me field. Basically a psychic command to everyone around you to not notice your existence. Thus this would even negate sound as your just forcing everyone else to ignore you.
If it was like that then I would chose invisibility otherwise I chose flight...

Invisibility, assuming it worked for my clothes. I'd be the greatest spy, assassin and bounty hunter to roam the earth.

I think you're forgetting the age-old answer to such problems. "A Wizard did it." Obeying the laws of physics is not a pre-requisite. :D

Flight has always been my greater fantasy, especially increased thanks to the Maximum Ride series.

Invisibility would be nice for sex and money stealing, but flight could get you both legally. There are surely some women who want to have sex several hundred metres in the air suspended only by a guy with wings. ^_^

Flight, mainly because of the immense convenience it would provide. However, I'd have to be able to fly at a fairly high speed. If my top flying speed would be 25 mph, I'd have to go with invisibility.

One slip and splat. I'd take invisibility. I could sneak into a bank vault before it was closed and then realize I have no way to get back out and slowly run out of oxygen.

as long as you don't do it before the weekend, I'm sure you'd be ok...

well, not "sure" sure

Flight.

I live in New York, I've always wanted to rocket in between skyscapers, swoop in to rush hour traffic and wave at all the fools stuck in cars, and dive-bomb the ground and right myself at the last second. I'd have to get over my fear of heights first, but whatever.

Flight seems to dangerous, they would shoot me down 10 minutes after the start so I would pick Invisibility :)

@RYjet911: Flight does not include super strengh :) I would like to see you having sex while holding another human body several hundred metres in the air.

there was no mention of the power of his flight, it's assumed our flight capabilities are pretty powerful, considering the other option is full invisibility.

so he pumps iron for a couple weeks if he can't already hold a girl
