Would you choose invisibility or teleportation?

You could turn invisibility on and off as you like and there would be no time limit. Your clothes would turn invisible too, and you could decide whether the items you are holding would be visible or not.

There would be no limits on how many times or where you could teleport. The items you hold while teleporting would be teleported too. You would also have the ability to know if the place would be safe to teleport to, so you wouldn’t teleport and get impaled by an icicle or teleport inside a wall and get your insides filled with concrete or something.

Personally, I don’t know which one would I pick. Invisibility would be awesome for pranks and stuff, but teleportation probably would be more useful for everyday life.

tungah,

Don’t you became blind if you’re invisible?

How will your eyes function if they can’t control the way light hits your retina?

RememberTheApollo_,

Are you truly invisible? As in not appearing on thermal or any other commonly used forms of visual detection and imaging?

Alphadef,

Invisibility is cool and all, but teleportation is simply way better

RandomVideos,

How fast can you teleport? If there is no cooldown, you could teleport so fast nobody would see you being there

victorz,

awesome for pranks “and stuff”

Myeah 😏

Hedgehawk,

Teleportation. There’s the obvious advantges like no commute. The biggest, however, is that I would just feel so much safer (as a woman). Dodgy situation? Just teleport away.

Most of the things you want to do with invisibility you can do with teleportation, but likely better. The only exception being hiding in the lockerroom of your preferred gender but bruh, c’mon this isn’t a 80’s movie. Also maybe faking a haunting since the invisibility lets you make stuff “float”.

Wanna be rich or just have loot? Teleport somewhere you know has it. Grab and go.

Wanna kill somebody? Teleport to their bedroom while they sleep and shoot them. Or for the less messy alternative, teleport in, grab them, teleport a hundred feet above Point Nemo, drop 'em, and dip.

Wanna live a life unbothered by anyone? Teleport to the middle of nowhere and slowly bring in supplies. Pop out and back in whenever you feel like it.

Tedesche,

If I could somehow be assured that the world wouldn’t immediately turn in me when they discovered my super power and try to capture me for its own ends, teleportation. If not…definitely invisibility. Much easier to hide the power, not just myself.

ohlaph,

Teleportation. Hands down

Xariphon,

Teleportation, hands down.

BruceBeer,

Ha, I’m already invisible for all non nefarious purposes, I choose teleportation.

burliman,

Teleportation, because the only upside to invisibility is subterfuge. Not that I am some saint who denies ever wanting that, it just seems like teleportation would be just as good at any use case invisibility has. It would also have lots of very life changing above board benefits too.

Teleportation. I would pick it for the friends and family visits alone but the travel and science stuff would be amazing.

Even for those who inevitably want to use their power to commit crimes, teleportation is still more useful than invisibility.

Teknikal,

Teleportation even if it was line of sight based like in the Dishonored games I think it still wins.

Clearly teleportation, because when you are invisible, you cannot see - your body let photons through.
