Who can fly?

One of the most common powers in super-hero stories is the power to fly, which has almost no bearing on SofM. I was wondering if there was any word on how could, and who couldn’t fly in the multiverse. Here are my thoughts, presented mostly as a starting point:

 

Heroes:

Absolute Zero: - Thermodynamics battlesuit.  Either flies on a jet of fire, or does the ice-slide thing

Fanatic:

Legacy:

Ra: A god.  Either flies directly, or has a chariot or sky boat.

Tempest: Super Hero Types who generally fly – Aliens, and Weather Controllers.

Visionary: Telekinetic flight

Argent Adept: Big billowy cloak demands flying, and gentle touchdowns to Dubstep.

Omnitron X: Cosmic Omnitron flew.  Seems like Exie would keep that upgrade

 

Villains:

Flipped Baron Blade: Battlesuits generally fly.

Citizen Dawn:

Grand Warlord Voss: Battlesuit or alien.  Either way

Matriarch: Dominant, predatory, flightless birds are so 62 million years ago.  Cloak propels her at 20 knots, the speed of an unladen European Swallow.

Apostate:

Gloomweaver: Demon of nightmares.  He flies because we don’t don’t don’t want him to

La Capitan: Little Anti-grav harnesses borrowed here or there.

I can't picture La Capitan flying. She could have acquired ways to at some point, but it doesn't fit that well with the pirate image. Some of the Ennead I'm sure could fly too, particularly Shu.

I can see your point regarding Le Capitan, but it seemed to me should steal and hold onto a device.  I didn't even consider the Ennead - even though they are one of my favorite villains.  Thanks.
