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

Ha, I'm already invisible for all non nefarious purposes, I choose teleportation.
How fast can you teleport? If there is no cooldown, you could teleport so fast nobody would see you being there
If you had the teleport jump ability from the book Jumper that would be pretty cool and useful. The character fills a cistern by being in water and in the cistern simultaneously which would be a great way to help drought suffering areas while also helping flooding areas.
I'm looking for a new book to read but wasn't blown away by the movie. How different is the book?
Far better than the movie. Much crap was added to the movie. Better antagonists in the book and the sequel was also good. Upon searching just now I found that there are a total of four novels in the series.
Jumper, Reflex, Impulse and Exo all by Steven Gould. Now I have two more books to read.
Teleportation. I suppose it would be somewhat limited by the fact that teleporting to a place where other people might be would be tricky, since I absolutely don’t want to be caught.
Even with hesitation to teleport to populated areas, the ability to teleport home would be massively useful as a utility. I could also teleport out of danger in an emergency. I wonder if I pick up a person would allow me to teleport them with me, in which case then it’s got hero potential too.
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?
Teleportation. I love to travel, but I hate the airport.
Teleportation for sure. It covers all practical applications that I can see for invis, plus more.
Are you truly invisible? As in not appearing on thermal or any other commonly used forms of visual detection and imaging?
Teleportation. Hands down
Depends on the situation. On the one hand, you can choose to teleport and go anywhere instantly and be able to save time, money, and get tasks done faster. On the other hand, you could choose invisibility to avoid Carl the office dickhead and prank the shitty hr department.
