ok this isnt about which mode of transportation is the fastest or most efficeant but rather the one that has the most style, the one that looks the best and coolest.

my vote... Spider-Man: Web slinging

Thanos's throne. It just says badass to show up with your own battle throne.

Also, Zero shift in the ZOE games. (Not comic, but still very cool)

flight

I'd have to say Flash honestly. I've lost count of how many times I've been driving somewhere and just wished to have that speedforce available...

Would be able to go anywhere, in seconds or less.

Metron's chair.

I'd say super speed, assuming super-speed reactions came with the deal.

Most stylish?

Surfer's board.

You have awful taste.

I like Metron's Mobius Chair. Basically gives you god-like powers and the ability to travel anywhere or when in the space-time continuum.

eh i'll still choose the webs seeing it in the comics was enchanting enough but then once it was brought to the big screen that just sealed the deal

Thors hammer.


People will; certainly look if you show up pulled by a hammer faster then lightspeed.

flight....i've just always wanted to be able to do it...hell...it would beat payin' high ass air fares these days.

Walking rocks.

All the cool people do it.

The Spider-Buggie.

'nuff said.

Thanos Throne too.

Magical Teleportation would look pretty cool.

Bodyslide.

Actually, Metamorpho's turn-to-gas method of entering or leaving is pretty sweet

Yeah but then you get yourself inhaled to death.

Bodysliding's risky.

I'm going with the throne.

"Bodyslide by 2 to Hq"

and

"Door."

Teleportation. Then I wouldn't have to wake up so damn early for work.

and with a little fine tuning you could venture into the past/future to catch a 39525^& concert!!

web slinging
super speed
flight/jumping
vehical transport
teleportation

In terms of appearance, the problem with flight is that it's usually done in the Standard Horizontal Position. This is not a naturally comfortable position for a human being. If you try it, you'll find right away it puts a strain on the neck. That's one of the nice things about the Surfer: he flies standing up; quite unique in a genre of horizontal-position flyers, especially since it's a position anyone can relate to if they've ever tried surfing, snowboarding or most likely, skateboarding. It feels cool.

As for jumping: it can look cool depending on how the jumper manages their balance and positioning in the air. For example: in the Hulk movie, it looked like a few times the Hulk had to stabilize his body. It was realistic, yes, but not cool-looking. Other times, it looked much better.

Web-slinging looks cool and it's also something humans can relate to, if somewhat distantly, because 1) most of us have played on monkey bars when we were kids; and 2) we evolved from brachiators.

Vehicle transport: depends on the vehicle, but personally, I don't find it superheroish enough.

Teleportation: looks cool for short-range, ie, a hero flicking in and out of existence in avoiding attack. But in terms of long-range, pure transport: not too much to be cool about because there ain't much to see. Similar problem with superspeed (ie, running). On the one hand, it's usually shown in such a way that you can't see anything. And yet, if you showed someone moving their arms and legs really fast, it would look almost silly, if not actually painful (like you're gonna tear a ligament any second). That's one of the reaons the old Six Million Dollar Man show was done with slow-motion bionic effects. Before it became cliche, it looked quite impressive.

Overall, Surfer's flying style aside, I think web-slinging looks the coolest. I still get chills watching those parts of the Spider-Man movies.

You put a lot of thought into that didn't you?

You're just stuck in someone's body.

With much of your body chemically bonded to thier blood stream. And reduced to a nigh powerless state of impotence.

If you can laugh at that point . . . there's something wrong.

Because he couldn't thats why.

Also if his molecules were bonded to the blood are they still his? They would be part of a new substance unrelated to him.

Kay.

I'd go with teleportation something like Magik I but without using limbo, (but then again it might be nice to be able to trap people i don't like in hell) just to get around any physical barriers, i just don't buy that a person no matter how fast they are can vibrate through matter without it falling apart. tech would be nice but then you'd have to know how to repair it if broke down. flying fun, but everybody would be like hey look the guy who can fly lets catch him and then sell him to government so they can cut him up and see how he works. web-slinging would only work in a city like NY, remember when spiderman went to California his web-slinging wasn't very effective.

Another great one is Spot's spots.

How about Impulse1M's ability to instantly appear where ever there is thought. It make for a awome enterance too.

What's the range on those things?


I really think Zero Shift deserves another mention.

Jumping out of people's ears would be fun for a good long time IMO.

Well, that's true.

Hmm...

I should be protecting my ears now shouldn't I?

A key-style 'door open-close' thing wold be pretty cool.

Think Keyblade.

Of course, Ironman/War Machine's method of transport IS pretty cool.

Flying tin-can ?

Also I'd consider falling to be an awesome method of transportation.

I've always liked the look of creating stairs or pathways out of one's surroundings (a la Magneto in the first movie)

Actually, I think riding on King Kong's shoulder would take the cake.

ShieldHeliCarriers are pretty nice. And you've got a good bit of firepower with you.

For Cannonball, you could fly and kick ass with one action.
