NOTE FROM DAVE:

Superspeed or flight — both powers have their advantages.
But which is the better power? Normally, this sort
of question is left to an impartial jury of experts.
We decided to let the Top5 Comic crowd decide instead…

The Top 8 Reasons
Superspeed is Better Than Flight

8> With superspeed, you tell your sidekick trainee to run, he runs. With flying you have to spend the first 6 weeks convincing him NOT to flap his arms.

7> You know that Brady Bunch episode where Peter accidentally lined up two dates on the same night? What good would flight have done him?

6> Super speed helps you avoid the slap that inevitably follows the words, “Back off, Chester!”

5> Never late for an important meeting - heck, even if you are, reverse the spin of the earth and still be on time.

4> Anyone can buy an airplane ticket. With superspeed, I can vibrate invisibly in the girls’ shower room all day.

3> Avoids that whole ugly air rage incident with the fat guy and his reindeer every year.

2> Both powers suck in comparison to X-ray vision. All naked babes, all the time! Boo-yah!

and the Number 1 Reason Superspeed is Better Than Flight…

1> Hey, if you think picking squashed bugs out of your teeth is a drag, try slamming face first into a Canadian goose!
