sohkmj1 Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 If people had wings, they'd be monsters. ^ Guess which game has that quote. I'd prefer superman style, because... it's hawter because i can just float around... :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nadril Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 Superman style here. Wings seem like they'd get in the way and just wouldn't be as useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skulloriginal Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 im gona have to say black leather bat wings that retract and take the form of your back for convenience, like it has a few joints so they can unfold to a wingspan double my arm span and fold back and make a leathery shield for my back :thumbsup: You do not deserve the vital organs you possess.

Lenin64 Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 ....What? No, I'm saying they would fold inward, you know, contract. Not vanish entirely. Ever see a bird land? They don't keep their wings spread. They tuck them in. Bats, too. Or a better example, seeing as the wings would be in the same place, is a dragon. The wings fold in to keep out of the way of normal activity. Same idea here. Sadly, a human is not a bird or a bat. Those creatures are natural flyers, and have bodies constructed so that their wings can be folded in. A human is not a natural flyer, so we would need much bigger wings to fly, and those wings would not be folded in that easily. Look at this dragon, for instance: [hide=Look! A big image of a dragon!][/hide] Now, would these wings be able to carry a dragon? If you ask me, I wouldn't say that looks likely, and still, the dragon can't fold the wings entirely. A better example? :oops: OK... The white-tailed eagle has a wingspan of about 200 cm, and a weight of about 5 kg. If we now use very rough mathematics, and look away from the fact that there are probably other factors that are important, a person with the weight of 70 kg would need a wingspan of 28 metres, that's 14 metres(about 45 feet) per wing, and not too easy to fold. And let's not forget the height of these wings, we will probably have a few meters there too. This is not really accurate, but I hope you get the idea. I think it's safe to assume that if we were born with having wings, the rest of our our body would be structured however differently to make folding and flying easier. Otherwise wings wouldn't work anyway. And you can tell from your dragon that they're not folded all the way; the joint isn't completely bent, if we're to assume it would bend the same as a knee or an elbow would. All I'm saying is that wings would be able to fold in. Even 45 feets could probably fold enough, given the amount of space of jjust skin between bones of the wing, to only stick out a few feet at most, and not really cause a problem.

tintin113 Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 Superman's hovering is so much better, having wings would just be inconvenient in comparison. Also superman goes insanely fast and can hover.

Powman3 Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 Eh, wings. But I should be able to bring them out when I want them. Some gray angel-looking wings would be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randox Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 I would go for something likesome sort of levitating armour. I would also go for wings like tyrael from diablo. I don't even know if those wings allow him to hover (hes very steady), but they are really cool looking being so big and there good weapons to. Think the bad guy from spiderman 2. Tyrael wings are made up of whips that can throw people around, that and Tyrael must be near 15 ft tall so that would hive him maybe a 40 - 50ft wingspan.

issy2 Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 Wings types consist of: "angel" type, large feathered bird wings, each wing is probably as tall as you are. Can fold. Demon,bat,pterodactyl: leathery wings thin and thus, show your veins/aterries. Most likely similarly sized as angel wings, perhaps smaller. Also can fold Fairy, dragonfly: extremely thin, Unlikely to fold at all. 2-4 wings, typically smaller then the angel/demon wings Mercury boots I've always thought that would be the coolest thing ever... Edit - just tried to find a pic and saw it's actually a make of boot... I actually meant like leather ankle boots with tiny wings on either side, like Mercury as in the messenger But if not, then white angel wings 8-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never figured the boots to be practical. i dunno, dragonfly wings would be cool too.. but Id probably stick with angel wings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acowswrath Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 levitation would be better for me. Wings would make you look odd and everyone would think youre special. At least with levitation, you could conceal it if you want. BTW: you could sleep-fly with wings or levitation. BOO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
issy2 Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 Mercury boots <3: I've always thought that would be the coolest thing ever...

I never figured the boots to be practical. But a winged helmet would just fly off, leaving you on the ground, or enable you to hang yourself... Winged boots you could like walk in the air, just like normal but higher up :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
