Learning to Fly - Position 5: Face First

Being a series of vignettes aimed at educating the super-powered reader about the various possible permutations of the flight posture.Though fists and hands seem to sometimes motivate forward thrust, there are times where it all seems to come from your FEET. Anyone who's ever tried to keep their arms extended for prolonged periods will realize how tough that is on certain chesty-type muscles (it may become obvious that your teacher has very little experience with exercise here). The Face First position saves energy at the cost of negligible drag (especially if your nose is generally pointy) and maybe a few splattered bugs (remember to wash up afterward).

And for those heroes who have invulnerable faces, you can pick up easy momentum when dive bombing foes.

Yes, there's a lot more to life than being dragged by a Green Lantern ring, Sally. ;-)

It's true...Hal would never lead with his face. His beautiful beautiful face.

Funny, based on the title of your blog, I didn't think that's what you were looking at. ;-)
