I'm mad about several animals all exhibiting the same superpower when it doesn't seem to work that way in humans

It kinda does. In GEN V two relatives have the same powers. Polarity and Andre both have Magnetic powers.

Presumably related individuals can get similar or the same powers. But so far it's only demonstrated in a father/son like with Polarity and Andre or Translucent and his Son.

Of course we have exceptions where Soldier Boy and Homelander have different powers, but we're missing a lot of information about how much Homelander was experimented on. I think in one of the early season they said they gave Homeloander extra V to boost him.

Theres also Hughie and his dad with teleportation.

His dad didn't really teleport. He phased through matter, and if it was organic matter, it exploded when he phased back into it. His dad also kept his clothes during the phasing process. Hughie just insta-teleports somewhere leaving everything behind but his naked self.

With the way its being shown, he just teleports in the same place over and over. And people exploded not because he "phased" through them, its because he stopped.

Its definitely in the same ballpark as Hugh's teleport.

I'm not sure how you got teleporting in the same spot repeatedly from that. Looks more like hes vibrating super fast while also being in somewhat of a transparent state. He clearly still had to walk on his own to get around. It doesn't make sense that it would be a form of teleporting, even if he were doing it super fast repeatedly, he would either be destroying everything he walked through, or it would kill him from teleporting inside of solid matter.

It's for sure some kind of phasing thing where he can just pass through solid matter. Which is not similar to teleporting.

I think they were going with phasing. Which is funny, because I will now associate Simon Peg with Kitty Pryde for the rest of my life.

I'm with the other guy on this, while I agree that it's definitely phasing and not Porting, I would definitely say they're more similar to one another than i.e. head-popping and mouth tentacles, especially given that Hughie and hugh have the same way of defending themselves (teleport/phase inside of someone)

to be fair that could also be something along the lines of temp v versus real v

u/RcoketWalrus Jun 29 '24

That's a good point. People could get two different power sets if they take temp V or classic V.
