    Hopefully it’s a7 inch gap, if it’s 7 inches from center mass you’re not really fully shifting position.

      And the minute you do it wrong you’ve fused with a fence or a steel door or something and are probably dead so it would require a ton of practice to know your limits

        Being able to teleport into a region already containing air without creating a nuclear blast requires that you can already either instantly displace the air in the target region (which would make a Very Loud Noise) or switch places with it, so there are possible interpretations of the power where teleporting into a fence would leave behind a detached section of fence or bend it out of your way

          I think I’m normal teleporting scenarios it doesn’t allow you to teleport into ‘objects’, though obviously there has to be some exception for air or it’s basically worthless. I don’t think I’ve ever seen any scenario where you displace anything other than gas?

            You would still need to be able to displace suspended particles, bacteria, and small insects, otherwise you wouldn’t be able to teleport outside of a clean room

          True, so I guess in this case the possibility would be that you could get stuck in an object by displacing it, but by continuously displacing, theoretically you could get unstuck

            You could pass through anything as long as you’re willing to destroy it in the process

            If you work in demolition you could take out a wall by continuously teleporting through it, if you wanted to do typical superhero stuff it would be good in a fight but nonlethal attacks aren’t really an option

              True, though this doesn’t cover whether you’d feel the effects of the teleportation, or I guess also how fast you could teleport. Teleporting through air is probably not crazy, but if only every atom of you teleports into solid steel or rock, you’ll basically be stuck for as long as your brain takes to process the next teleportation. If you don’t do it with a full breath you can’t breath in, your hairs might get stuck from tiny muscle movements, if your eyes are open, they are now just touching rock or steel, I think it would require some practice to know the right like “body preparation” to do without harming yourself.

        What you gotta do is carry a small object and hold it in front of you, and then teleport forward and back so that the object goes into and out of the lock, breaking it.
