It's a flying tree! :-) Once again, made with little help of ContextFree. Inspired by i have no idea what, but not "Gorillaz" video clip! (where they had flying island). VladStudio
In fiction, particularly fantasy, science fiction and comic books, many characters have the ability to fly without a vehicle, often attributed to supernatural or paranormal explanations.
* In Greek mythology Daedalus, the legendary Athenian craftsman and inventor, made wings for himself and his son Icarus out of wax and feathers to escape from King Minos of Crete. They flew away, but Icarus flew too near the sun. The wax of his wings melted and he fell into the sea and was drowned. Daedalus landed on the island of Sporades (now known as Ikaria) and buried his son's body.
* Dumbo, the Disney-created elephant, employs his comically oversized ears as wings for flight.
* Western dragons are depicted with wings.
* Superman is a superhero in comic books, cartoons, and films; flight is among the various superpowers he is portrayed to obtain from the yellow rays of earth's sun. Most fictional comic book superheroes are said to fly by willpower or by telekinetically levitating themselves. Jean Grey of the X-Men, for example, uses telekinesis to levitate above ground. Storm of the X-Men flies by controlling the weather in her immediate vicinity. Magneto flies by magnetically levitating the metal suit he wears. Also, some superheroes have wings, rather than willpower. For example, Archangel from the X-Men flies thanks to two feathery wings that come out of his back.
* In the 1995 film Slam Dunk Ernest, Jim Varney's trademark character is granted the gift of flight by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.
* Santa Claus has a sleigh pulled by flying reindeer.
* In the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy books, Arthur Dent accomplishes flight by throwing himself at the ground and missing.
* Pegasus was a winged horse in Greek mythology who appears in, among other things, the 1980s film Clash of the Titans.
* In Bionicle storyline, a Kanohi mask called Kadin allows the user the ability to fly.
* In the very popular Japanese manga TV Show Dragonball Z, many of the characters have the ability to fly after they have mastered their Ki (energy)
* In the TV series Heroes one of the main characters, Nathan Petrelli, has the ability to fly. His brother Peter Petrelli was able to absorb this ability and reproduced it.
* Miles "Tails" Prower from the fictional Sonic the Hedgehog universe uses his two tails to propel himself and maintain temporary flight over short distances. Other fictional characters from this universe, like Rouge the Bat and Cream the Rabbit, can also fly. Wikipedia
