    I think the odds of ending up within sight of the earth are basically 0. The universe is a big place.

      Depends on the range. If 10 feet, you’d survive most falls, but still bury yourself a portion of the time. 100 feet, probably dead. 200 thousand miles? Space sucks without an appropriate suit.

          Please elaborate, because there’s a at least a couple different things you could be referring to, and I’d rather not write something out on the wrong topic :)

            The tread is just:

            1. Teleportation
            2. Only to random locations (no distances measured)

            I’m taking that to mean a random location anywhere in the universe except the starting location. The earth is an infinitesimally small part of the universe, so most teleportations would end up in intergalactic space.

              I mean, the spirit of the “superpower side effects” game isn’t to render the superpower fully unusable, but to make it thoroughly annoying or to have a big downside/cost. Teleporting to a random point in all of the space of the universe is just a death sentence. My only reasonable read of this is “random location on Earth (not mid-air, underwater, or embedded within solid matter)”.
