__Goblin Glider__ The Green Goblin's favorite hoverboard—at least its 2013 incarnation—can reach 90 mph and carry enough fuel for six hours of flight. (Pumpkin bombs not included.)

__H.A.M.M.E.R. Helicarrier__ Norman Osborne dismantling S.H.I.E.L.D. might not have been the best thing for everyone, but it gave rise to what might be the best airborne heavy-assualt vehicle on the planet.

__Leapfrog__ The parents of Chase Stein (aka Talkback) originally built this as a bathysphere, but The Runaways repurposed it as a superpowered jumping conveyance. It can even jump through time if you connect its overdrive through its control panel.

__Quinjet__ The Black Panther's greatest design achievement, the Quinjet has ferried many an Avenger over the decades. Even though Tony Stark later created an interstellar offshoot, the classic is still our favorite.

__S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier__ You know it, you love it, you probably never mistook it for a hybrid: it's Nick Fury's pride and joy (besides his shaved head), the Helicarrier!
