have you ever seen a prison before?

there are many many ways they could take you down. a net gun for instance. 1 or more tackling you and putting you in handcuffs/shackles. then all they have to do is lock you in a room. being invincible without any other powers is not that great.

Or you could end up like the Event Horizon. That wouldn't be to fun eh?


EDIT- I wouldn't mind living forever. Imagine being alive 2000 years from now. Imagine the kind of technology we could have. I want to be there. Just talking about this makes me want to become a bio chemist and figure out how to stop aging =)
 
:thumbs: Adding to that floating through space, that would be so cool though, you'd be quite dizzy. Bag-o-weed bam you're set, beautiful sights, discoveries, all that good stuff. Careful though don't stare at the sun too long or too much, worst of all don't float to the sun :laugh: ! Be a bad thing if you were blind for your never ending life.

Trust me, the prison isn't going to be there forever. Besides that they would have to let you go eventually.

the question is who are 'they'? if they are a powerful gov't bent on figuring out what makes you invincible for their own gain, then they will do whatever they want :)
 
Nah you could kick everyones ass, cuz your invincible. They can't hurt you at all.
 
You could break out of jail, just take a cops gun or something, then cant hurt you so just bust em up if they try to hurt you or catch you.
 
:O Wait, there's a date rape drug? Show me at once!
 
Sure, I'd like to live to see the amazing technology of the future, but you have to think past that. Eventually something will destroy the human race. The sun could explode, a giant meteor could hit our planet, two planets could cross paths... use your imagination. You will be completely alone. You will be back to zero technology. Then, what will you do for the rest of eternity? You'll get pretty ****ing bored. That's what you'll do.
 
Stock up on sleeping pills.
Just dream for the rest of eternity.
 
It's eternity. It's forever. There is no end. No finite amount of sleeping pills could keep you asleep for an infinite amount of time. Total immortality sucks. If it's like Highlander immortality or Vampire immortality there are ways to end your life. If it were like those I might consider it... but that's not what "User Name" said.
 
:dozey: Robots buddy robots, artifical intelliegence so advanced you couldn't tell the difference, same goes for how real their structure is. So, you would be boning robo chicks for eternity!

As far as we know, nothing lasts forever. Eventually even the robots would no longer exist. You just have to hope that Earth isn't the only home of intelligent creatures in the entire universe... with infinite someone might find you. That is, if any species ever manages travel across those HUGE distances. If it is possible it should happen... given the fact that you have infinite time to wait for it.

Well, they could still capture you easily. Invincibility doesn't really help when two guys are pinning you down and a third one is tying you up.

When you're invisible, no one would catch you doing stuff that you've always wanted to do but couldn't because it was against the law.
If you were invincible however, you could let anyone catch you and they couldn't do shit about it and it would be more fun that way.

Yeah... I'd make people hear voices, kick some random guy in the balls in the middle of a crowded street and watch the reactions, grab some woman's ass when a guy is walking behind her, play "poltergeist" all the time, hit the power button on people's computers when they are working on important documents, pull bathing suits down/off, and all kinds of other mean stuff for my own entertainment.

Hey, power corrupts! :E
 
I would pick invincible because i would like to see where the we are going as a people. But being invincible would be lonely, every one you know would die. As cybr said there would have to be a way to die.
 
Invincible. Hands-down. When one is invincible you are immortal. And also mine could be passed on, like to those that deserve it.
 
Invisibility, all the way.

as i understand it, invincibility isn't the same as invulnerability. You are undefeatable, not indestructable. YOu cannot be beaten by any opponent. But you can still have a heart attack and die, or jump off a building and go splat.

Also, while you might not be able to be killed by someone, that doesn't mean people won't try. I'd hate for a tactical nuke to come through my front door every Tuesday.

You'd also be famous (or infamous) and wouldn't be able to go anywere without being known. You'd be like a rock star, having to go out in disguise. He might wear a disguise like a superhero/villain, but you still wouldn't be able to walk into a phonebooth and walk out, just like that.

You're also not superstrong or fast, people can just runaway from you. You can also be trapped, if you're accidently do it yourself.

Also, the power is only really useful in combat situations.

I'd go for invisibility. While the protection isn't as complete as invincibility, it still allows you to disappear and act without detection.

People will not know who you are, because you're invisible, and so your features naturally cannot be seen.

Two possible scenarios, one good, the other evil:

Stoping a bank robbery.

Invincible: Walk in, shrug off the robber's 12-gauge, and pummel him into submission (assuming he doesn't simply run away).

Invisible: Walk in, hit in head with chair from behind.

Robbing a bank.

Invincible: Walk in, branish gun, shrug off security guard's bullets, demand cash. Run away with cops on your tail.

Invisible: Walk in, knock out all employees starting with security guard, grab money, walk out.
 
Being invisible has a down side...pressing the button on the pedestrian lights, lights turn red, you think its safe to cross..car doesnt see you and think its alright to keep going...SMACK.
 
Personally I'd go with invisible, if you were invincible and people (the press, the government) found out they would leave you alone for the rest of your life. If you were invisible and people found out and you managed to escape them, no-one would know what you looked like and thus your true identity.

Also living forever would get boring, watching everyone you know die over and over again would be depressing.

Instead of invisible I'd rather that people weren't able to see me

Of course, if you were truely invisible you'd never be able to close your eyes because your eyelids would be invisible, if fact you'd be blind becuase your retenas wouls be invisible...

If you could change 'invisible' to just 'people don't notice you' it would avoid all those problems plus you wouldn't have to go around naked when you want to be unseen...
 
If you're invincible, could you still die of old age? I'd hate to live forever - especially if you still grew old.

I don't want either, I want the power to freeze and unfreeze time at will. That'd be so amazing. Like Bernard's Watch, if any of the Brits ever saw that...

Ahh.. at last a worthy sig for me! :D
 
For all of you who said that when you are invincible you can still die from falling off a building, heart attack, or old age...YOU ARE WRONG.

The true meaning of invincibility is you can not die no matter what. You are then invulnerable. You cannot die from natural causes, freak accidents, or anything like that. You do not feel pain nor are you hurt or bleed. You are invincible. YOU FEEL NO PAIN OR HURTNESS WHATSOEVER. And do not suffer anything.
Also, you do NOT have super-human strength. You are just invulnerable...
There. I hope I cleared a lot of things up.
 
dictionary dot com defination: Incapable of being overcome or defeated; unconquerable.

I dont see "Takes no pain" anywhere in there. You just can never lose.
 
Try lucid dreaming, you can be whatever you want to be :)
The down side is that you have to wake up. Meh.

I'd choose invincibility but as someone said, I'd still want to die of old age. An eternity alive would get infinitely boring, literally.
 
I wouldn't want either.

Invincible - Living forever would be boring once the human race became extinct. Getting your own way all the time would turn you into a really crap person.

Invisible - You'd never be able to be intimate with anyone. You'd be bloody cold walking around nude. If you became ill requireing help you're screwed.

Both - You'd have LOADS of tests ran on you and you'd never get a moment to yourself.

Hehe. Good arguments for being invincible. Invisibility is for dorks.
 
I would choose invisible.
Since I could do so much fun.
Instead of Invincible, they just have to catch me, then I'm stuck.
 
I wouldn't want to be invincible, just very very tough. Like wolverine, or better yet the people out of a book called Marrow. They have specially altered genese which makes them extremely though indeed. They have ceramic type skulls, which are almost indestructable, and from that skull you can be regrown so long as you are exposed to something like water. If your leg happens to be cut off, just grab it, hold it against the stump and it will reatach itself. If you are mutilated, your body will regenerate although if you don't eat something then you will probably be a bit shorter than you were before...

So basically either what I said or invisible. Not feeling pain, and not having that knowledge that you could actually die would make life rather dull. Its like bungee jumping, its only fun because it goes against everything in you to jump off something very high and fly towards the ground.
