if you mean invincibility: consider the following: the human race is bound to come to an end in the future at some point, the earth will be destroyed at some point- either by our dying sun- or the collapse of the universe, which is how physicists theorize will ultimately end everything(or begin everything?) - so my question is, if you were invincible- what would happen to you? would you want to exist with no peers?

That actually made me think relatively hard. So, I'll give you a relatively simple, yet precise response.
No. I would not wish for invincibility. I would wish for near-eternal life, but I would also like my existence to eventually come to an end. At least when the universe does. To exist beyond that point would lead only to madness as you were forced to sit back and watch destruction/creation of all things. But, when you also look at it in that light, one can also wonder that if you were to outlive time itself, would you then ascend to godhood and be responsible for creating the next universe? Would you be the new God? This also brings up another fun question... Is the God described in Christian texts the first so-called God, or is it simply a remnant of the previous universe that had the ability to outlive it's older shell, and from it's shell create a new universe?
And, I've gone off track. But, off track or not... ponder what I have said. Ponder... and imagine...
