top 10 superheroes who can fly
Top 10 Superheroes who can fly.
WHOA HOLD UP.
Superheroes can fly?
WELL WELL WELL, aren't we just full of surprising knowledge on this channel.
All jokes aside, we're counting down the top superheroes who can fly.
Cause guess what, friends.
Not every superhero can fly in the same way.
So I guess we're counting down airborne heroes?
But heroes who are airborne because of their powers.
Or suits.
One of them uses his suit.
It's kind of cheating but he's really good at it.
So hang on tight as we take off and I make some terrible flight themed dad jokes.
10 martian manhunter One of the original seven members of the justice
league, Martian Manhunter is a martian from mars named J'onn J'onnz.
And aside from all of the amazing things he's capable of - dude has NINE SENSES and can
shapeshift - he also can fly.
Sometimes he hovers.
Sometimes he uses his telepathic abilities to make objects fly.
So much flight.
Hell, he could even turn into an airplane if he wanted to.
Which would be wildly unnecessary.
Since he can fly.
And actually, Superman once said he was the most powerful being on the face of the earth.
So that's something.
9 Shazam Before we begin this point, just want to say,
really love Shazam.
His tragic yet wonderfully weird/mildly disturbing origin story gets me every time.
I'm a sucker for it.
And, yes.
He flies.
But I'm not so sure where he gets this power from.
So hear me out - the letters of his name all stand for the gods he got his powers from
- S for Solomon & his wisdom, H for Hercules and his strength, A for Atlas and his stamina,
Z for the Zeus and his powers, a second A for Achillies and his invulnerability and
lastly M, for Mercury.
So shot in the dark here, it's probably the mysterious Z portion of his powers where
he gets flight from?
Unless his ability to move at mach 10 speeds means he's capable of flight, or….well
regardless, he flies, can fight superman, and is magic.
But apparently can't beat Superman, because he's…goofy?
Hmm.
Well.
He flies.
Check.
Let's move on.
8 Supergirl She's a kryptonian.
She can fly.
Here's a few examples.
Links to current CW show (2 of them) https://youtu.be/r56yFhT_lxY (her goofily
waving arms) Not so sure gently waving your arms helps
with being aerodynamic, by whatevs, I'll give this one to her.
7 Static Static aka Virgil Ovid Hawkins is a superhero
capable of electromagnetic generation, meaning he can do things like super conduction manipulation,
electrical manipulation, magnetism manipulation, and telepathic resistances.
He's got some nifty healing abilities through his energy uses, and can interact with wireless
communication.
So it makes sense that when you can manipulate so many different things that he'd use his
powers to magnetize objects to get around.
He levitates saucer like objects, like manhole covers or his own self built metal saucer,
the Static Saucer - there's been two static saucers, but the original consisted of 8 interlocking
plates that were folded up like a chinese folding fan when not in use.
6 Iron man Whoa hang on a sec, Tony Stark can't fly!
Well, yeah, but when he's Iron Man damn right he can.
Flight via his power suit.
Which can do a lot of stuff.
What else can he do aside from flying.
WELL FRIENDS, his suit actually has an interesting history concerning it's flight capabilities.
The 1960's MK 1 (Grey, first appearance) armour was only capable of extended jumps
via pressure jets.
The MK 2, the golden avenger armour, improved this, but still provided limited flight.
(TALES OF SUSPENSE 40 1963) In DECEMBER 1963, the suit was upgraded to the MK 3, to that
original red and gold colour we all know and love, and the jets were swapped out with chemically
fuelled thrusters, providing faster flight.
(Tales of suspense 48).
And now?
Well in recent years, the suit uses repulser technology and portable electromagnetic super
field generators, that also give the suit it's speed strength and magnetic field manipulation
abilities (Invincible iron man 10 2009).
If that's not enough for you, someone actually put together a 12 minute montage of iron man
flying scenes on youtube.
And fun fact there's even a British man who built an iron man esque suit that's capable
of flight.
Dreams do come true!
5 Wonder Wonder While Diana has been given the power of flight
over the years, she wasn't always capable of that feat and actually owned an invisible
plane in order to get around.
It was a creation of hers when she was young, and was capable flying over 2000 miles per
hour, sending out rainbow rays that would break through the mist around Paradise Island,
her birth home.
It also had a built in radio.
Turns out Diana is a bit of a low key mechanic.
In the 50's the plane was revised to be a jet, and she would continue to use it up
until 1973.
And what happened then?
The power of flight.
That's what happened.
Actually it was likely just a creative revision.
But you guys are following the gag at this point so don't mind me.
4 Jean Grey Telekinesis is a very powerful power to have
as your power.
And when you're an omega level mutant, you bet your ass you can fly using those powers.
Jean tends to use her telekinetic abilities to lift herself or others, and allows her
to levitate and fly.
And when she's bonded with the phoenix force, she can fly unaided through space.
3 The Falcon He's literally named after a bird.
He better damn well know how to fly.
Otherwise that's really unfair marketing.
Falcon is capable of flight via a wing harness, and also does other adorable airborne things,
like the ability to see through the eyes of nearby birds, limited control over birds,
and an empathetic link with his pet falcon.
He's also an excellent bird trainer.
CAN WE PLEASE INSERT SOMETHING WITH NELLY FURTADO IM LIKE A BIRD AND A PNG OF FALCON
FLYING AROUND ON THE SCREEN?
K THANKS <3
2 Green Lantern Sometimes Green Lantern's ring feels like
the embodiment of plot armour.
Yes he's an interesting and dynamic character with a distinct personality that makes fans
dig him.
Talking about Hal Jordan here.
Although Alan Scott is really interesting too.
But sorry guys, that breakdown is for a different video.
So when the entirety of any Green Lanterns powers come from their ring - hard light constructs,
healing ability, force fields AND FLIGHT - it's almost as if abilities like flight can feel
conveniently tacked on.
But this is what makes Hal cool.
He's an expert pilot.
Flying is in his blood.
So good on you Hal Jordan, for being able to break free from plot armour constraints.
We appreciate you.
Honourable mentions time!
For heroes we love, but can't fly.
Cue emotional sad music.
Wolverine - complex character, beloved anti hero.
Can't fly.
The hulk.
Jumps real high real good.
Can't fly.
Batman.
Good hero.
Strong morals.
Can't fly.
Can sort of glide though so kudos to you for that.
1 Superman It's a bird!
It's a plane!
It's a superhero who can fly.
Who isn't the other nine heroes on this list so far even though he's related to
one of them, woooooo.
Okay alright, jokes aside, Superman and his ability to fly is quite important.
He's the first superhero - or if we wanna get crazy specific, the first thats recognized
in american comic books and also popularized the whole heroes wearing tights and having
emblems thing, he's kind of a big deal.
But yeah.
Superman can fly.
He's who you think of when you think of a superhero flying.
Aquaman - real good swimmer.
Bruce Wayne - real good brooder.
Superman - real good at flying.
So of course he makes the number one spot on our list.
Cause the dude is an icon.
GUYS CAN WE PLAY THE OLD IT'S A BIRD ITS A PLANE BLACK AND WHITE THING TO END THE VIDEO?
There we have it friends!
