Audrey’s Magic Nine – #20
When asked what superpower I would want, teleportation has never been one of them. For some reason as a kid, I always imagined teleporting to the wrong place, and suffering for it. Middle of the ocean. Inside a volcano. Next to a hungry pack of wolves. You get the point. I never envisioned it as cool and precise as NightCrawler. 🙂

Looks like the leg-of-whatever is a popular choice. Great, now I’m hungry again.
I always thought teleportation would be pretty cool, although how cool would vary a lot depending on how it works. You’d obviously need some safeguards like “no materializing inside solid objects”. How familiar would I need to be with a location to jump there? What’s the maximum/minimum range? How often can I jump, and what’s the minimum time between jumps? (see “hungry wolves” scenario) Would I suffer side-effects, such as nausea, disorientation or exhaustion? Superpowers quickly get complicated once you start thinking about them.
Exactly Wizard!
