Which Marvel characters would benefit most from ability to fly?

I dont really think Hulk will benefit THAT much since he already can leap to the point where its close to flying...

I say Xavier

Hulk leaping:

"Oh, look, enemy XYZ is a mile in THAT direction!" *jumps*.

Enemy:

*sidesteps*

Hulk:

"Shit."

although in comics, fliers seem unable to take that one meter sidestep to avoid a leaper

exactly... although on the forum people do fight differently...

Of course one could argue the reason people never do that is because he simply jumps too fast!

But I would never say that because someone would flame me.

If by differently you mean 'not like a complete and utter retard.'

but that would make a hilarious comic....have Sentry just shift a meter while Hulk leaps helplessly back to earth...an entire issue filled with Hulk futilely trying to get at Sentry

Parabola.

Gravity.

Hulk.

Gravity.

Projectile motion.

Okay - I think that's plenty of dots for you to connect.

Really really really really really fast jumping 😐

Thats seven (7) words and one (1) smiley for you.

I dont understand this fancy medical lingo...

Jumping fast doesn't increase gravitational acceleration.

He could try jumping in a lower arc if he wished - but he's never shown the ability to do that over long distances.

He's jumped hundreds of miles with a single leap, but he always hits the clouds to do so.

How does that apply to people being unable to dodge? 😕

yea but with flight how would the hulk fight someone like IronMan? IM gets out of range, huc follows, now huc has lost all of his long range attacks because he cant throw anything. IM continues to fly backwards blasting huc repeatedly while huc chases . . . gettin hit over and over again. Also do you think huc would be to graceful while flying? Imagine hehe

Hulk would have plenty of range..he can throw cars, trucks and houses while flying.

Yah Hulk and Logan are good picks

Have you ever done any (slight) bit of projectile motion?

His speed in the negative Z direction (with typical three dimensional coordinate system) will be wholly based on gravitational acceleration.

Its a good thing comics involve so much science....

Yup. Just about failed too.

but on the upward path of his jump, Hulk could potentially be moving fast enough to catch fliers

Depending upon their height, it's possible, though most fliers are more than capable of flying out of his reach, or at least high enough that his velocity will have slowed tremendously by the time he reaches them.

And, besides that, I was talking more about someone on the GROUND a distance away. If the Hulk leaps in that direction, the person on the ground will see a hulk falling out of the sky no faster than terminal velocity. Easy to sidestep.

right, since Hulk's downward path is completely constrained by gravity

If he starts at a high enough speed I don't see why he couldn't grab a flier. Hasn't Hulk caught up with jets in the past?

Changing your argument is you? 😠

But yeah it would be relatively easy to sidestep any falling large object (god that sounds sarcastic)
