Superpowers

I was wondering why super heroes fly like they are stretched out on a diving board. OK, I do get the idea of being streamlined but if you are a superhero who can fly around the world in seconds are you really worried about wind drag?? Why not fly around in a seated position, or reclined as if idle on a couch. What about looking forward, if I get around the world in a few odd seconds I am going to need to seriously floss a pound of bugs out of my teeth. A tall tower, a plane not expected, a flock of geese. How much damage comes from the un-attentive flying hero?

What if you can fly but have no invulnerability, you can’t move too fast or you light like a matchstick and talk about watch where you go. Superman can crash through mountains but a large branch will be leaving you out on the ground.

I guess it is a good thing most of us can’t fly. Drunk flying, flying rage, we would be falling from the sky like a turkey dropped from a platform.

I can just see a sky full of us, prone position, with one arm outstretched, one with the cell phone planted firmly in our ear.
