See, it's interesting - I wouldn't pick invisibility for the same reasons you wouldn't pick flight - *any* use of it, if it were to be detected, would be *so* disruptive to the social order around me. People thinking I'm doing something kind of weird and astonishing (like flying) - I'm used to that. But people thinking I'm doing something that could fundamentally disrupt their expectations about how the basic mechanics of social life (seeing and being seen) work - now THAT sounds dangerous. And for any use of the superpower that had any practical use at all - even those you mention - as soon as its consequences became known, so would the power. I'm honestly not sure I would have much use for either, but flight might be fun and easier to use in a way that wouldn't have that kind of impact.
