I mean, let me be a nerd for a moment here, but most superpowers don't work without complementing powers and specific definitions. In the case of teleportation, you have to decide how conscious the decision has to be, but also like, do you just have to imagine a place? Do you have to have been there before? Do you have to be able to see it? Can you accidentally teleport inside objects? Or can you be like, "I want to teleport to the nearest discarded wallet with at least $200 in it"? I mean, what are you really able to do, and how do you initiate it? Fun to think about, in my opinion.
To be fair, I'd do all of that to teleport somewhere and then forget why I'm there once I appear.
It's like going to the kitchen to get… what was it I was going for again?
if you teleport inside an object where does the matter that was already there go?
Usually in sci-fi teleportation is accompanied by some sort of pop, suggesting the air is displaced from the inside out. Since our body doesn't physically expand and contract to a point sized speck too often, the energy to displace the material would need to be supplied from the teleportation device. Therefore, I'd suggest that any existing material is exploded outwards, depending on the capabilities of the device. Explode a rock? Maybe. Explode the core of a planet? Unlikely.
