* Many superhuman characters in Marvel have teleportation powers, with conditions that can cause accidents if broken: |
|||
** From ''[[X-Men (Comic Book)|X-Men]], Nightcrawler can only teleport short distances (about a mile, tops) and rarely risks teleporting to a spot he cannot see or ''has'' not seen recently. There is no "safety catch" to prevent him from materializing inside a solid object upon arrival, and if that were to happen, he'd be killed. |
|||
** On the other hand, the anti-terrorist vigilante Solo does indeed have that "safety catch" to his powers, and can teleport anywhere on Earth. However, he is limited to one use of the power every five minutes or so and should he attempt to do so before the "cooldown" ends, he risks injuring himself via a sort of "recoil". |
