While it would seem to go against the intended "spirit" of BNW and/or 
overcomplicate the mechanics, it does seem like there should be some kind of 
"Endurance" requirement (or a Stun Check with rising TN penalties for 
multiple uses in a short time).  Most teleporters, from what I recall from 
the comics, tend to show definite signs of strain after multiple teleports.

Otherwise, one wonders how Delta Prime and/or the government deal with 
Defiant teleporters.  Even with the limitation on teleporting to places they 
know, they seem like they could definitely be a continuing thorn in the 
government's side with no real way to capture them.  I suppose the DP has 
"power nullifiers" and stuff (by which I mean folks with a "Nullify" power 
package or Gadgets with a similar power), but so far teleporters (and 
phasers) would seem to have a free ride.
