When it comes to good ideas, Supervillains are full of them. However, there are times when it's necessary to steal a good idea from someone else, especially if they're incapable of implementing it effectively on their own. That being said, it's important to remember that if you're going to steal an idea or a device that will aid you in your quest for world domination, ensure that you're get the final product.
In other words: let others do the risky hard work for you.
In terms of world domination, Jet Packs could come in handy. Really handy. If you're a fan of the Tribes games, you'll be familiar with its usefulness. Nothing like jet-packing up to a fourth story window and opening up a can o' whoop-ass on some enemies!
Adventurers and scientists have been working on individual, powered flight for many years now and, though things have progressed quite far, I think I'll wait a few years before I include a Jet Pack amoungst my Super Accessories list.
I'll wait until they've been through their casualties, faulty controls, fuel issues and numerous 'upgrades' until I get one of those. Why should I take the risk of flying into head-first into the Eiffel Tower at 160km/h, because the accelerator is stuck, when there are plenty of other people out there who'll accomplish that one for me?
And when individual, powered flight has bee successfully achieved, how will airborne traffic control work? People are bad enough behind four wheels, what will they be like with jets strapped to their back? And will they cater for moms & their tots, with an optional baby seat model? What about weather? Will their be models that handle rain & snow? Urban models, long-distance models, silent models for game-viewing?
It'll be an exciting time when you can just walk into a shop and buy your personal transport for the same price as a motorbike, strapping it onto your back, stepping out of the store and flying away.
