Flying would be cool, but 15 mph? Do any birds even fly at that low speeds? I know a damn duck is faster than that. You ain't getting anywhere quicker unless it's just around your area. I'd be better off driving to br for a football game instead of flying myself.

So I'd take running as long as I can play sports. I guess you could hide it better too for any reason. Just be faster than the fastest guy. Don't attract unwantedd attention.

That includes any kind of government research on you or any of the negative shite that would come your way for having some sort of super power.

Am I limited to 15 mph when gliding and falling? If not, can I easily stop myself from falling?

Even at 15 mph, crash landing at that speed will still hurt...A LOT.

100% Fly - the ability to basically go wherever you want and whenever you want to.

But at 15 mph. I mean, you ain't flying to Europe in one little leap. That would take you almost 14 days none stop flying.

There was an 80's superhero sitcom based around that premise. The Greatest American Hero.

Aliens gave the main character a superhero suit that has all kinds of abilities and they tell him work with the FBI and use the suit to make the world better. However, he pretty much instantly loses the instruction book they gave him with the suit. So, he's got this suit but has to discover the powers by trial and error. Of course, he tried flying pretty much the first time he put the suit on and figured out how to start flying, but he has no clue how to land. One of the running gags was that when he flew, he'd just crash into things to stop flying.

If I were to fly or run for work, do I still get to claim mileage?

Holy shite, how have I never heard of this show?! It sounds incredible, and there is an hour and a half pilot/ep1 on youtube that I just skimmed through, and now I have to watch every episode. Looks like the whole 3 season run is on youtube.
