Can't get a working submarine?
I thought that was just us.

Don't, like, half of Weapon X or Weapon K or whatever teleport? Along with every villain in the 90s? (Or at least know a teleporter?)

Canada cannot even get a working submarine for our navy; I'd shudder to think where we'd be with teleportation!

I think the West Edmonton Mall sent their 4 submarines to the scrap heap 2 years ago.

Weapon K? You mean the secret Department K project? I know Tigerstryke's electro-magnetic suit was based on Guardian's suit so I figure he can teleport.
Not sure about the other members of Department K / Weapon PRIME. It's one thing to teleport yourself and another person but I don't think Guardian, or Vindicator, or TigerStryke can teleport an 85 story building from Toronto to Ottawa.

I don't really tend to count what Mac does as teleportation...since he has little-to-no control over where he ends up. He just stops rotating within the Earth's atmosphere, that's all.

[Le Messor]

You know, I think I did mean Department K.

Mac's power is basically just going really, really fast. Not quite teleportation.

I'd still love to see him try it on and 85-storey building.

Disagree. He's not going fast, he isn't going at all. Everything else is going. He actually is going so slow as to be stopped.

[Le Messor]

Hence the phrase 'basically'.

[Flightpath07]

Hence the phrase 'basically'.

Hm. Okay, I'll give you points for that one.

[Chris]

Basically I should have suggested someone who can actually teleport like Shaman, Talisman, Nemesis, Witchfire, Manikin/Highbrow or Pathway.

I think Steven Seagle retconned their location from Toronto to Ottawa but I do like Flightpath's answer that the Canadian government likes to waste money and built a second Dept H building in Ottawa. I do know the Toronto building had 85 floors. The Ottawa building had at least 66 floors because the Director resided on the 66th floor. Maybe a certain Loki knows the answer.

[Le Messor]

Y'know, I don't think of Shaman as a teleporter, but you're absolutely right - he can.

Maybe they only had 47 floors, but they called it the 66th because Kool-Aid Man is red.
Hmm... 66th floor? Do you suppose they went with that because the 666th floor would be too ridiculous?

I also don't think as Pathway as a "teleporter" (i.e. to teleport anywhere on Earth), but rather as a dimensional transporter. Doesn't she open portal to dimension? To me, Alpha Flight's teleporter is Manikin's Highbrow.

[Le Messor]

I agree about Pathway, too; but technically she can.

Although, to be fair to Chris, he didn't call any of those people teleporters; just said they can teleport.

Y'know, I find that interesting.

As I ponder this statement, something comes to mind...

...don't you have to BE a teleporter, in order to teleport? (Not be teleported by somebody else, but teleport yourself)

Or, don't you have to BE a runner, in order to run?

I could go on, but won't.

LM, I know you were just clarifying what Chris did and did not say. I'm just thinking out loud; that the very act of teleporting makes one a teleporter (even if only a one-time one).

I would say absolutely not. I am capable of running for a short distance (and I do mean SHORT distance), but I by no means would ever call myself a "runner", especially to my friends that train for the Boston Marathon.

[Le Messor]

Yes, as Ahab is getting at - being a runner or a teleporter means it's something you do habitually; something you do enough that it, in part at least, defines you. Something you do occasionally, or just once, or are simply capable of (I'd say) doesn't make you a that-thinger.

[Flightpath07]

Ah, i see. You all are thinking of the word "teleporter" as a Title. I'm thinking of it merely as in, teleport is a verb, therefore when you teleport you are a teleporter.

And again, by my simplistic way of thinking, when i am running, I am a runner. The very act of doing something, means that I am a person who does that thing (as I am doing it).

Apologies if i sidetracked anyone with my logic. My ADD really does get me fixated on some weird stuff at times.
