In a Twinmaker teleporter, there is no connection between the clone and the original once created. Grant doesn't have that.

There's a split second when he exists at both the origin and destination points simultaneously. He learned at a fairly young age [[MesACrowd how to interrupt the process at that point]]. However, since his powers didn't originally involve cloning himself, they don't provide any help at all in keeping track of his [[WhichMe various bodies]].

Red Shift's force forks was explicitly defined in the story, which, according to the current trope description, makes it ineligible as an example.
Deleted line(s) 57 (click to see context) :
** [[SuperSpeed Red Shift]] generates a force field around himself whenever he exceeds a certain speed, so that he can travel at supersonic velocity without the slipstream tearing his arms off. It also apparently keeps him in contact with the ground, as he was able to run up a staircase at nearly supersonic speeds without launching himself into the air. He's been known to use it [[BarrierWarrior as a weapon in and of itself]], by running just fast enough that the force field forms, then running into people.
