[[Teleporters and Transporters|Teleportation]] is an awesome power to have. Even with [[Teleporter Accident|the risks involved]], it's hands down ''the'' best way to travel in fiction. Of course, as powers go it tends to be a case of [[Story-Breaker Power|winning]] the [[Superpower Lottery]]. A hero with this ability could simply whisk up to a [[MacGuffin]], dump [[The Dragon]] in jail and spray [[Holy Burns Evil|holy water]] on the [[Big Bad]] before he even [[Orcus on His Throne|shuffles off his throne]]. |

* Mystifyingly, many of the villains in ''[[Sailor Moon]]'' (except Eudial) just teleport away when the [[Monster of the Week]] is beaten. [[Fridge Logic]] screams "Why aren't they teleporting away" when [[The Plot Reaper]] sloooowly announces they're about to die? Saffir of the Dark Moon Tribe did this...once, but he died anyways. |

** Eudial really gets the bad end of it, as she actually drives her car from and to the villain headquarters. |

* In ''[[The Flash]]'' comics, there's "Peek-A-Boo", whose teleportation ability is unstable and can have dangerous side-effects (such as a big implosion at the point she just teleported away from). She didn't want to be a villain, but was forced into the role by her circumstances. |
