It’s sort of like being the roadrunner when I’m being attacked, rather than a proper superhero. If someone shoots at me, their gun explodes, or they miraculously miss, or I deploy a shield of air. If someone fires a flamethrower at me, I casually raise my hand and deliver and elemental blast of ice destroying their machine. If someone attacks me, I levitate, or get super strength and punch their weapon to shards, or teleport them far away. If a dinosaur or other monster attacks me, it gets transformed into something harmless, like a pumpkin or a Keebler elf, or just shrinks to the size of my shoe.
Unlike with the roadrunner, most (2/3ish) magic solutions to my problems are caused by me having temporary super-powers, rather than environmental magic plus luck like how the roadrunner is able to run through a mural, or not be affected by gravity after running off a cliff. Assuming that he doesn’t think “insubstantiability, on!” before running through a rock.
But my powers are temporary and minimal. I almost never (get to) fly, because most problems that could be solved with me being able to fly are solvable with the subjectively lesser powers of levitation, feather-fall, or super speed. Levitation is common. I can only remember one dream where I was able to magically fly, ever.

Nightmares? I’d call those ‘superhero fantasies’! In a Rincewind kind of way. Sound fun. :P

I feel for you. ;)
