Super Speed vs Teleportation

i guess.

QS's main problem was interacting with people in general, if his father wasn't magneto, and his wife an inhuman, he'd be better off running off to some remote island and live off the land away from everyone.

How much weight can I teleport around with me if I chose this power?

Teleportation is an all-or-nothing affair: you either blink away or you don't, and it's your whole body involved, always.

Speed, however, is quite variable (from 0 mph to whatever; whole body or body part), therefore more adaptive and useful. Plus, you don't miss all the scenery in-between.

Superspeed for me.

Teleportation can take me places just having super speed (without flight) can't.

Exactly, I think I would choose TP cause you could enter places that are completely barricaded or TP in/on flying stuff

but I would prefer the typ of TP of the Spot (if it can be counted as TP) more than Night Crawlers

id take the speed. it seems more usefull on a daily basis. for example mowing the lawn. with tp i could get to the lawn mower in no time but its still gonna take an hour to mow. stuff like that.

Super-Speed. More applications imo.

Well depending on the level.. Quicksilver vs blink tje edge is to blink... But not by much...

Blink vs superman level speed... Superman speed in a curbstomp

and btw most surfer feats are on his board. In surfer comcs and you'll be hard pressed to find him running fast... Iirc he had to shoot blasts from his hands to "fly" when he didn't have his board one issue

but if you meant speeds like what surfer is capable of on his board than omg speed easily

teleportation hands down, super speed without the ability to perceive it (we don't get surfer's brain of other powers) = wall platter with the first attempt.

blink's teleportation is one, if not the best in that category, very little problems with it as apposed to nightcrawlers.

But with teleportation, don't you also need to see where you're "going"? Or am I limited to line of sight? If I teleport blindly to 10 miles away, how do I keep from ending up in that wall? If I teleport to a higher elevation, how do I deal with the gain in potential energy?

IMO, it comes down to this: primary abilities imply necessary secondary/support abilities, otherwise the primary ability is useless if not outright destructive. Superstrength, eg, needs some form of superdurability; superspeed needs inertial control or supersensory processing. With superpowers, one needs to have their cake and be able to eat it.

back in the day when the vanisher debuted, his teleportation was really hard to beat cause he could just go into a bank vault (that he never laid eyes on), get the money, and get out. nightcrawler would have to have seen a picture or video of the interior of the vault to replicate it since he would have to know where to teleport to avoid rematerializing into an object he can't see, or the thick wall of the vault itself. nightcrawler also has the teleportation radius issue, slower teleportation (vanisher teleports in a tenth or hundredth of a second), and the conservation of momentum thing going on that neither blink or the vanisher have.

blink, vanisher, etc teleport psionically and they emerge out of danger subconsciously.

that includes ability 2 persieve it 🙂

if u had superspeed butur body couldnt handle the stress whats the point. also you can be driven man with the enhanced neural firing in ur brain the world would be frozen to u from ur perspective.

i rather teleport in order to rob banks.

"trope" isn't the word though, how could i guess what you meant?

By not trying to be smart and pick loop holes in the topic 😛

Also, Super-endurance would be required if you wanted to use the speed like quicksilver or something.

You could rob banks with super speed easily too. Not that you need to - with super speed everything becomes free.

Almost every bank nowadays got time locks so with Super Speed you would have to wait though, not with TP 😛
