Mass Teleportation: Difference between revisions

 

{{examples}}

== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==

* In the anime series ''[[Macross]]'' the entire superdimensional fortress and surrounding city are teleported just beyond the planet Pluto during a desperate attempt to flee an overwhelming alien assault.

* In ''[[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann]]'', it turns out that {{spoiler|after the moon is stopped from being used to destroy the world, it's actually a GIANT SPACESHIP. The real one? Oh, that's stowed away in a [[Pocket Dimension]].}}

 

* One time, in Ultimate Comics: Avengers 3, the Triskelion was facing a vampire invasion. So Captain America used the hammer of Thor (Mjölnir) to teleport them all to the Iranian desert, were the vampires were killed by the daylight. The reason for not teleporting the Triskelion into a desert area of an ally (e.g. Israel, Egypt, Saudi-Arabia) but to that of an enemy ("Great Satan", you remeber) is, that it would've been less badass (You appear in broad daylight on enemy territory and they can DO NOTHING!!).

* A ''[[Justice League of America]]'' graphic novel had the heroes fighting an advanced race of aliens who stole Earth (along with other inhabited planets) in order to chronicle the races' various beliefs of the afterlife, since for all the aliens' advances, they were reaching the end of their mortal lives and were as clueless about what happens next as everyone else.

* ''[[Watchmen]]'' has Doctor Manhattan using this to disperse a large scale riot by teleporting every rioter back to their home. As per the [[Crapsack World]] nature of Watchmen, [[Finagle's Law|multiple teleportees die of heart attacks on arrival]].

* In ''[[Dungeons & Dragons]]'', this is how the demiplane of Ravenloft came into existence: chunks of land from other planes were teleported into it.

* The Republic of Japan in ''[[Rifts]]'' is a collection of three (formerly four) cities from the time before the [[The End of the World as We Know It|Coming of the Rifts]] that was teleported into a pocket dimension after a group of scientists performed a teleportation experiment at the exact moment the disaster hit.
