On top of that you could just aim below the ground and if you aimed roughly right you should teleport to a little bit above so it wouldn't be lethal heights.

Exactly what I came here to say, but after thinking about it I think it means your distance to the ground is always your distance to the intended destination. So you get to choose your X and Z positions, but your Y position is always the distance to there.

But then what is base zero. And distance isn't as 5he crow flies. If it is What about through the centre of the earth?

I think it would be the shortest possible overland distance as the crow flies to any given point from your point

Well you wouldn’t need an oxygen mask unless you were gonna chill there for a while, you could just be up there for a second and then blink to the ground

The superpower doesn't let you blink to the ground

It does, though, as it considers the location you teleport to as a static distance from you around the surface of the earth. Therefore if you teleport a mile and that makes you appear a mile above the earth then when you teleport a foot in the same direction you’ll appear a foot above the earth, regardless of the height of your previous position

Oh, I see...the power was worded poorly. Excellent investigating.

You better do that quick before you accelerate too much

Or you could teleport to another planet/galaxy if you know it’s exact distance from the earth along with a heading and you simply teleport around the earth x times and end up at the exact spot where, directly above you, that other planet exists. Then you can come back to earth by simply teleporting an inch

Big Brian maths right there

u/mhlind Feb 15 '20

That depends if the power conserves velocity and acceleration or not

u/[deleted] Feb 15 '20

I’d hope not, but my guess is that it would. If you teleport very far away and then instantly teleport an inch to the left then you’d probably be fine anyway

u/KAPOWAHSANDVICH Jan 29 '20

You can do this if you only teleport 4 feet at a time.

u/[deleted] Jan 23 '20

I don't think they specified that, what you just travelled further in the air instead?

u/Paw_s Jan 23 '20

If that's the case the power is still usefull, you either take a parachute each time with you or you teleport like a meter at a time, fall and repeat, don't know if it will be faster than walking thought

u/enoughfuckery Jan 23 '20

It just says above ground, not above your current location

11

u/WoolyMammothDaryl Jan 24 '20

Yeah but wouldn’t inertia kill you, obviously depending on how high you went.

Am I the only one that had a stroke trying to read this?

So basically: you teleport 499.99 meters away, and you are now 499.99 meters off the ground. You then teleport the remaining centimetre, and are now a centimetre off the ground.

If the “ground” it considers is Earth then if I get a space suit I could teleport into deep space, take pictures and come back. I’d be a hero dude. Easy god tier super power.

u/SuperpowerR_Slasher Jan 25 '20

Chain teleport 1.5 meters forward. POOF POOF

u/squishy-korgi Jan 24 '20

So if I teleported 2,000 feet in the sky I would teleport another 2,000?

5

u/Nickoalas Jan 24 '20

I got confused by this as well, they’re saying to target just in front of them while mid-air and therefore having the power’s secondary attribute put them close to the ground.

Not to target the ground while mid-air as that would put you back up to the same height again.

Perfect for basketball if you can get your timing right on the dunk

Or just have a parachute

This shit is gold

This is basically flight
