||
| − | '''Characters that are capable of Flight in the Marvel Universe''' |

| + | * In combat, flight and aerial speed can be used to divebomb/tackle enemies or engage in aerial hand-to-hand fighting. This is commonly seen with characters with mainly physical powers and abilities, such as [[Warren Worthington III (Earth-616)|Angel]], [[Rogue (Anna Marie) (Earth-616)|Rogue]], [[Adrian Toomes (Earth-616)|The Vulture]], [[Michael Morbius (Earth-616)|Morbius]], [[Cal'syee Neramani (Earth-616)|Deathbird]], etc. |
