* While actual teleportation is possible in ''[[Schlock Mercenary]]'', the wormgate network used for it prior to the invention of the teraport also created clones of those who used it without the traveler's knowledge. {{spoiler|This became a major plot point when it turned out the Gatekeepers were interrogating and executing the clones, and using the information gained to control the galaxy's wealth and suppress rival teleporter technology.

* In the ''[[Mortasheen]]'' universe, [[Knight Templar|Wreathe]] uses portal technology, which preserves the teleported person intact but is incredibly inefficient.
