Speed/Indefatigability

Superhuman speed is the ability for a person to move faster than a normal human. The mind exerting a force which propels the body at quicker speeds, or a different psychic force which allows the body's molecules to vibrate at high speeds. Like for a cheetah, the fastest mammal, she quickly develops lactic acid due to muscle energy expenditure and loses stamina. Indefatigability a variation of superhuman stamina in which the user cannot grow tired at all. The ability can be used to run endless miles without tiring. The user may generate perpetual metabolic energy from her mind to maintain peak stamina. A genetic mutation in enzyme can cause lactic acid to be destroyed or reused as energy as soon as it is formed, this mutation if employed in human will make them totally inexhaustable.

Flight

Has strong wings making her able to fly.
A couple of strong wings is all that a human needs. A wing is a surface used to produce life for flight through the atmosphere. The life force occurs because the air has lower pressure below. The most obvious adaptation to flight is the wings, but because flight is so energetically demanding birds have evolved several other adaptations to improve efficiency when flying; birds' bodies are streamlined to help overcome air-resistance. The large amounts of energy required for flight have led to the evolution of undirectional pulmonary system to provide the large quantities of oxygen required for their high respiratory rates. Seems like a huge modification but as i said previously genetic enginerring is playing with evolution at a very higher rate. When dinosaurs could transit from massive ugly beings to flying birds, it is possible with humans too.

Invisibility

She wears a mask and becomes invisible.
Invisibility is achieved by many predators in oceans and terrains, people rarely know about except the famous chameleon which is typically a color changing guy and not invisible. Examples include Mimic octopus, seahorse, cephalopods, pacific tree frogs and more. The main machanism behind this is mostly camouflage, in case of cephalopods, their skin gets invisible, but others also changing color morphs with a change in background brightness. Coloration can be changed in milliseconds as they adapt to their environment and the pigment cells are expandable by muscular contraction. Color change is used as an expression of the physiological condition, as a social indicator and most commonly ambush attacks. However perfect invisibility wouldn't be possible if we transfer their genes to humans because at first these animals at maximum of transparency, are translucent and don't achieve 100% invisibility but some may reach up to 80%. According to the laws of physics, a perfectly invisible person would necessarily be blind, no matter how their invisibility were achieved, To see light, the retina must absorb it, but for a person to be invisible, the body must not absorb or reflect light. So, to retain sight, at least pupil sized holes in the cloak would be necessary in front of the pupils and directly behind them on the back of the person as light isn't being transmitted through. So yes, invisibility if we get all those genes inserted from cephalopods; can be achieved but at least a pair of dots would still be necessarily visible because we like to see.
