That is tragically sad.

It's better than saying invisibility as that always leads to someone being creepy. Laser beam eyes is of limited use. Moving through walls seems kind of meh to me as that's not a really limiting factor in my day to day. Shooting webs from my writs maybe kind of cool, but if its main use is for moving around it is much more limited than just being able to fly. Lasso of truth isn't really a super power but an interesting artifact. Of all of the super powers, the ability to fly does feel the most utilitarian to me. Plus, think of how environmentally friendly that super power would be if everyone could do it
