History Main / WeaponizedTeleportation

Defensive use: usually deposits the target elsewhere, incapacitating them by virtue of the target's being unable to participate in combat with the user. Can be used for BanishingRitual, depending on where the target is warped into.

** Materializing a TARDIS inside a solid object is called performing a [[RammingAlwaysWorks "time ram,"]] and it produces a titanic explosion, but unfortunately it's a suicidal maneuver. The Third Doctor threatened to do this to an enemy once, but fortunately he didn't have to follow through.

* ''Fanfic/TaylorHebertMedhallIntern'': Rune tries hiding in Grue's cloud of darkness, but [[spoiler:Taylor can make teleport portals between shadows, and promptly links Rune's entry point to a position just above the ground]].

* ''Toys/{{BIONICLE}}'': Anyone who has the power of dimensional portals (Brutaka, Kahgarak) uses it for this. Brutaka once used his Mask of Dimensional Gates to drop a [[{{Kaiju}} Tahtorak]] in the middle of Metru Nui [[ItAmusedMe just for laughs]], and a Kahgarak later used its Rhotuka to send the same Tahtorak to a PocketDimension (Krahka was able to get the Zivon, the other monster it was fighting, sent there as well, at the cost of being trapped there herself).

* In ''Fanfic/TheSoulmateTimeline'', this is [[Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica Hitomi's]] power as a Magical Girl: she can teleport anything away. Her initial practice with the power is with using objects, like dumpsters and rocks, as blunt weapons by teleporting them over targets heads, but with only a little bit of practice she realizes she can strike a target from all around themselves by teleporting the matter and ''air'' around it away and letting the target get struck from all sides by nature itself rushing in to fill the created vacuum.

** The [[spoiler: Credomar]] cannon [[spoiler:(aka LOTA, the Long-Gunner of the Apocalypse]] and [[spoiler: [=NUSPI=]]] array (Called "long guns" in-universe) take it to the new level: both are {{Wave Motion Gun}}s which fire massive particle beams/plasma flows ''through the subspace'', letting them hit from anywhere and work around [=TADs=]. Because they use a single, relatively-large wormhole to fire the beam, instead of trillions of nanoscopic wormholes like a regular Teraport, they can't be blocked by [=TADs=], so it's possible for them to hit targets that other people think are safe.

** Later, Lews Therin shows Rand how to use these gateways as weapons on the battlefield. It's not just the sharp edges: Shadowspawn, for whatever reason, are killed by passage through a gateway.

* A mission in one issue of Secret Avengers deals with the team thwarting a supervillain group from completing a massive time platform with the intention to remove the city it's being constructed under with the threat of bringing it back on top of another.

* VideoGame/{{Wynncraft}}: The Mage can utilize a few Riftwalker abilities that let them weaponize their Teleport spell. For example, the Wind Slash ability causes the spell to deal damage to enemies in the spell's path and the Explosive Entrance ability lets the Mage trigger an explosion at the area they teleport to. The player can have these abilities active at the same time. Additionally, any hostile mob that has access to the Heavy Teleport spell are capable of doing this.

* ''ComicBook/WhateverHappenedToTheManOfTomorrow'': Superman ultimately beats Mr. Mxyzptlk using the Phantom Zone Projector. As soon as he tries teleporting back to the 5th dimension, Superman uses the projector, [[ProtalCut ripping Mxyzptlk between dimensions]].

* ''LightNovel/ACertainMagicalIndex'' has teleporting among its esper powers. Teleporters have been shown to be ''extremely dangerous'' combatants: not only can they dodge just about anything, but they can, say, teleport a needle into your equipment or [[BodyHorror body]], teleport you [[TeleFrag into the ground]], or teleport window glass into the structural members of a building to bring the whole building down.

* Portal scrolls and other forms of teleportation are often turned into deadly weapons in the capable hands of LightNovel/GoblinSlayer. The battle with the Ogre is a prime example, with Goblin Slayer linking a portal scroll to the bottom of the sea, with the effect upon the ogre being that of a ''water jet cutter'', slicing him apart.

* Towards the end of ''Manga/{{Inuyasha}}'', we learn of the power of ''Meidō'' sealed in Sesshōmaru's sword Tenseiga. It [[DimensionalCutter slices open the fabric of reality]] into a portal to [[{{Hellgate}} the Underworld]]--preferably, using it ''on top'' of an enemy so parts of their body are sucked in. In fact, the creator of the technique, a Great {{Youkai}} named Shishinki, lost half of his head that way when his opponent stole the Meidō from him. Later on, Inuyasha expanded upon it with the Meidō Zangetsuha, a [[SpamAttack barrage]] of Meidō lances that tear through ''anything'' by sucking whatever they touch into Hell.
* ''Manga/AstraLostInSpace'' kicks off with one of these. A small class of high-school kids goes on a field trip to the surface of a nearby planet, only to find an aberrant singularity that actively chases them down and expels them far into deep space. It's only ''sheer luck'' that they reappear near a derelict spaceship, and the mysteries of why that singularity appeared, and why they were able to find that ship, drive the primary conflict of the series.
* Captain Mithrun of the Canaries, an elf mage from ''Manga/DeliciousInDungeon'' combines teleportation magic with NoSenseOfDirection for highly effective ConfusionFu. In an enclosed space he incapacitates opponents by [[SwapTeleportation switching their position with something of equal of volume]], like chunks of the surrounding room, making onlookers think he's petrifying them before they notice where the victims end up. He can also more directly harm enemies by replacing slices of their flesh with thin objects like planks of wood.

** Any time ComicBook/{{Nightcrawler}} used his natural mutant teleportation ability offensively against an enemy in combat.
** Also applies to ComicBook/{{Magik}}. In one story, both she and Nightcrawler teleport part of Magus away, severely injuring him.

** At one point ComicBook/{{Deadpool}} had a teleportation device that he sometimes used in combat. He stopped using it because "it made it too easy".

* Franchise/SpiderMan villain The Spot works like this - covered in various portals, he can either attack his opponents from far away or, even more humiliating, cause an opponent to hit themselves should they try to attack up close. PlayedForDrama if he ever decides to be serious, as he cannot be barred from entry. A villain that copied his powers could desanguinate a victim without a trace, and mentally torture a hero by gaslighting him.
** Another Spider-Man villain, introduced in a crossover miniseries with Black Cat, is capable of remotely teleporting minute liquids. Not generally useful, but good for a drug lord whose clients have no marks to worry about being found out. He can weaponize this by remotely drugging victims to death and first discovered his powers when he teleported a cup of mouthwash into his foster mother's heart. His brother eventually kills him by teleporting inside him and bursting out of his body, he later tries to fight off Spider-Man by teleporting Black Cat's mask into his neck.
* ''ComicBook/{{Robin|Series}}'': The arrogant wannabe hero turned villain Dodge used his ill gotten teleportation abilities offensively, though luckily for Tim he never got terribly good at it.

** Short-range teleportation spells can be used to drop enemies into harmful [[FieldPowerEffect surfaces or clouds]], and enemies with those spells will pull the same dirty tricks on the player characters. The BonusBoss [[spoiler:Loic the Immaculate]] has an especially nasty tendency to teleport [=PCs=] into the nearby [[DeadlyGas Deathfog]] for a OneHitKill with NoSavingThrow.

** Bucciarati's [[FightingSpirit Stand]] Sticky Fingers from ''Manga/JojosBizarreAdventureGoldenWind'' can [[{{Zipperiffic}} "zip"]] through dimensions and distort body parts. The former he uses to creates escape roads, where he sneaks around buildings or even hides in a human's body. The latter he uses to threaten his opponents or downright teleport them into a different area. A memorable case is where Bucciarati zips [[MonsterOfTheWeek Zucchero]]'s head into the front of his teammates, locking him in the position Narancia and Mista [[CrossesTheLineTwice gleefully hang his head with a fish hook and torture him.]]
