I feel like the “actually the earth is moving so you’d end up in space” complaints about teleportation/time-travel rely on some heavy assumptions about how those things would work (eg. What the teleportation power uses as a rest reference frame)
And a lot of the theories about how they function involve having such a large mass that it punches a whole in spacetime. Which takes several orders of magnitude more energy than humans have ever produced. Thus making them at will kinda breaks entropy as a concept
So this is probably stupid on my part, because I don’t know a helluva lot about the math or anything and I’m also just being silly but reading this made me think about this:
What if the wormhole already existed, but was really small? Would it be possible in the physics to stretch the hole larger without using a ton of energy? Or would that, too, require assloads of energy we couldn’t actually produce?
I vaguely recall a story like that. They couldn’t manipulate wormholes but it looked like that because they were common and the superpower was being able to find them
Most of them, and the reason is physics.
Nobody mentioned teleportation, so here’s teleportation.

What if I had Nightcrawler-like teleportation?
If you ignore physics, you are basically a god / god-like being, and can do anything you want.
Don’t wormholes exist in physics?

That video was legit! Are there more of them?
Not sure if this is what you’d dig, but here’s a video about superpowers in animals: True Facts: Frogs That Hide Their Blood
With these 2 videos, hopefully the recommendation system of Youtube / Invidious can work its magic.
