It's a super power in the same way that being able to mentally move yourself while not being affected by gravity is a super power. In specific circumstances it's awesome. The rest of the time you're just trying to not float away.

To put a finer point on it: OG Quicksilver (don't even get me started on the historic Marvel v DC handjobbery) ended up so "super powered" that his inborn celerity transcended the very laws of physics โ€” having little to no frictional effect on the reality he was moving through. Thus, much like Jean Grey, Magneto, Legion, and a few others, his powers were not only beyond "super", but recognized as equal parts boon and curse to the entire species. Thanks, 90s.

Don't post that publicly! We're getting to convince the normies we don't have super powers. Although I must say I do enjoy this invisibility thing.
