CHOOSE YOUR POWER.
I shall reveal the mystery answer after there are, in my own opinion, enough answers.
PS: It's like, the ultimate power. So choose it.
Sounds gimmicky.
um, wouldn't teleportation render super speed completely redundant anyway?
Teleportation could be just as fast as "super speed", y'know. Like, faster than the speed opf light (which technically would actually benefitial to the user: longer life)
... picky picky picky... it's not good enough to just say "teleportation or speed" you must know how fast the speed is... if you'll hurl after using each power... jesus... alright, lol
Super speed: You would move as fast as Superman and/or the Flash.
Teleportation: Could be used as Nightcrawler would use it. Only teleport to where you can see.
CAN see.
**** that
NIGHTCRAWLER DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT.
He can also be a massive fag, too.
Super speed for me, then.
SSJ GOKU FOR TELEPRAT PLX!
There's also the ability to stop time, which can seem like teleportation. omg chaos control.
But of the two, super speed. You could use that for other fun stuff besides just getting from one far-off place to another.
Teleport.
You can tele up and down and left and right. When you can only run left and right.
Teleportation.
I'd also prefer that when I teleport, I explode into nails that fly out in all directions.
Whatever. That's enough posts for me. THE MYSTERY ANSWER: TO BE REVEALED IN TOMORROW'S EXCITING EPISODE.
Screw it: TO BE A LONG HAIRED BRUNETTE.
Figure it all out for yourselves, I'm too lazy to try and make sense of this mess.
Is the brunette hot?
If you are, then yes. If you're ugly as sin, then no. And you have really attractive teeth either way.
Can I teleport into women?
Don't get into that discussion again.
It'll just be like the first matrix.
I'll chose the "mystery power".
[quote=KoH]NIGHTCRAWLER DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT.
He teleported through that wall, didn't he? :)
screw trying to get to work & blowing off stacks of paper off of peoples desk with super speed, I'd rather just teleport there (and save myself some work)
Okay, that woman thing... not sure... Excellent question though.
MYSTERY POWERS COMBINED. He may have teleported through the wall, but that was luck. And hey, if you want to risk exploring the unknown of a woman's bush by teleporting into it, you're welcome to risk having your dick fuse together with her body. Disgusting? Absolutely. Possibility if you try and teleport into a woman? Probability.
Teleportations. MAAAN.
Bump of old thread to the max
Speed is more usefull. Since your limbs would move faster, they would have more kinetic energy, which means that if you hit someone, you transfer more energy to their body, which results in a harder hit.
With teleportation, you get to move fast. With super speed, you get to move fast AND hit harder. Hence, super speed is strictly superior.
With teleportation, you dont have to move.
yeah, but you dont get super hard hits.
Plus, with super speed, you could be the best at every sport known to man. Just dial youself back so that it seems reasonable and you'll be king of every sport known to man.
Nevermind the fact that when you bash into somebody at 800 mph you end up hurting the hell out of your fist, that's what makes it cool!
Never mind the fact that I never said so it at 800 mph or anything like that.
Just crank the speed up enough to make it worth it. And since you'd have to have super reflexes to go with super speed (unlike teleportation), you wouldnt be able to be hit. So not only can you smash peoples fashes, but they can never hit you.
Long distance travel is the only benefit that teleportation has, and even that is minimal.
I just think it'd be funny to punch somebody and then teleport. Just to see their reaction of "wtf where'd he go!?"
Also, I can see a plane in the skie.
I'm on that plane.
Teleportation >
You cant see into the plane, so you have no way to know whether or not you are going to fuse with something inside it. Have fun being dead when you merge with some *******es suitcase. Not to mention that since the plane is moving at several hundred of miles per hour, and you wont be when you end up inside it, you'll be slammed against the back of it rather violently.
Teleportation is basically only fun if you dont think about any of the reprecussions.
Speed for me. Unlike teleportation, speed can let you do other fantastic thigns like running on water and creating giant gusts of wind. :cool:
Assuming that there were no added supernatural durability it would wear the body down. BUT, since you would have to have added muscle to initiate the movement, there would added natural durability.
Let, for the moment, assume that both powers are in there most advanateous iterations though. It would be safe to assume that the teleportation power would allow one to move instantly to any point, anywhere. Granted, they would have to be able to see where they were jumping to make sure that they didnt merge with something, but lets be SUPER generous and say that they can tell before they try a jump if it will end in such a "collision." Lets also let them match their speed to a certain frame of reference (so that if they were to teleport into a plane, for instance, they would not be flattened against the back wall.) What you are left with is the ability to cover very long distances very quickly with practically zero error.
Now, let us consider the most advantageous form of super speed. To be able to maintain your course whie avoiding colisions, you would have to have super fast reflexes as well. Furthermore, as has been brought up, one would need added durability. Also, to initiate and sustain such high velocities one would need immense energy stores. Let us suppose then that the body has reached its full potential in terms of digestion, and so can store great deals of energy (though obvious limits would still exist on sustained movement). What we are then left with is the ability to cover limited distances quickly, and to essentially kill anyone that you fight with one hit.
It all comes down to how you want to solve your arguments. Would you rather teleport away like a pussy, or just smash face?
[quote=someone who completely missed the point]I can see the plane, so I go on it. At which point I can look through a window and get inside.
You can get nexted to the plane, but can you fly? Nope. So what is your plan, hold onto the wing? Not to mention that unless you did it at take off, the plane would be too high for you to breath, which means that you black out and fall to the ground, and since you're unconscious, you cant teleport. Even if you did somehow manage to stay next to the plane long enough to get a good look inside, when you teleport into it, you are still going to wind up stationary in an object moving at several hundred miles per hour. The end result is that the back wall will approach you at the planes speed, which will most likely kill you.
LoS, what was your point about getting into the plane? That whole black wall bit went right through my ea- eyes.
And Vamp, you just teleport outside the bars, then when people try and capture you, you teleport past them, and so on.

You could keep teleporting around the guy and hitting him.
This is true.
Lies. Its less usefull in abstract, and just isnt as cool in execution.
Ooooo. Big deal, you're a one trick pony. Speed has NUMEROUS uses though.
NOT ONLY can you go really fast WEEEE, you can also hit super hard, AND make it seem like you're teleporting short distances by moving faster than the eye can track.
So super speed is better:P
Yeah, but I'm lazy. I don't want to have to run anywhere. Hell, I don't even want to walk! Plus, you can teleport around the guy while punching him, like someone in this thread said.
Or you can teleport to Japan, steal some Ninja's katana, teleport back, and chop the guys head off.
Teleporting doesnt increase hitting strength though, so your punch still wont hurt as much as the super speed guy. Besides, he'll just be able to hit you anyway if you get near him.
Speed wins.
Super speed also lets you just sit there and dodge every hit he throws at you, which not only is badass as all hell, but embarasses the hell out of him.
... why can't I just teleport to the left or right? Or just behind him? I don't get it.
Because thats not as stylish, and you dont nessecarily have the reflexes for it. Its more embarrasing if you dodge every hit without moving your feet anyway.
**** style. I'd rather not have to expend physical energy just to make someone look like an a[COLOR="White"]s[/COLOR]s. And, really, they'd only look like one because you have super powers. Which wouldn't be fair and make you look like a baby because you can't stand and fight like a real man. But whatever. Like I said, it's all just opinion.
Using teleportation to get away just makes it seem like you have to use your super powers to run away. And if I'm going to get made fun of for using super powers, I'd rather it be "You're powers make you too strong and its not fair" than "lol ur a pussy"
Besides, I'm not as lazy as you, so for me its worth it.
Teleportation. Since if you only had superspeed, hitting crap would sort of shatter bones. Plus, superspeed can't get you through barricaded areas.
Super speed would come in handy so much more often. There are doubtlessly dozens of moments each day when it would pay to bhe just a hre faster, where as when was the last time that you needed to get past a barricaded area?
Wouldn't it be faster to teleport?
Ask me how the Queen is.
She's fine.
I forget what that's from.
And there was the race between Flash and Superman where they both were trapped in ice and Superman used heatvision to get out of the ice and the Flash simply vibrated fast enough within the ice that he managed to create enough friction that it melted the ice. So uh, yes to the friction thing. Just like, for reassurance.
That just proves that the Flash is smarter than Superman.
I go for teleportation. Faster and no crashes.
Superman could also have vibrated really fast and done the same thing (although admittedly, not as quickly). But he chose the slower method of heat vision.
Yeah, but what the hell? If he's frozen in there, all he can do is look forwards and burn a hole in front of his face.
We all know that BOTH powers are super ghey.
WTF did nobody mention *absolute* and instant control over all ordered structures of matter? Does nobody else have a *** complex?
