I thought you were. My bad. I assumed since you took the Gantz controller, you were trying to be stealthy.
Nope, I just wanted the locator ability. Your team's senses plus locators make stealth not really an option.
Wolverine was unfazed by Nightcrawlers attack.
Irrelevant. The point is that he can be blitzed by a teleporter. In this case, Rogue will be put in place to touch Wolverine, taking him out. Griffin doesn't need to hit him, he's just going to 'port Rogue around to disorient Logan and get the best angle for her to tag him.
Also that was a mind altered Wolverine. Not really his normal showings. He has done pretty well versus teleporters.
If anything, though, he fought smarter as Death Wolverine. He certainly wasn't worse at fighting than usual. Your scans aren't really applicable, honestly. The first one, Wolverine is waiting in ambush and tags the teleporter who doesn't know he's there. Griffin has a locator, so he won't make the same mistake. The second pair is similar; Nightcrawler loses track of Wolverine and isn't attacking when he teleports, merely searching. Since I have the locator, this won't matter. And Bishop's arm was pretty finicky, he was actually repairing it as Wolverine entered the room. He's not nearly as good a teleporter as Griffin is.
The video while impressive only shows Rogue being able to touch him after Sabretooth was amply distracted by Wolverine. He was pretty much owning Rogue and the other young people before Wolverine showed up. He even managed to catch her arms so she couldn't touch him.
Which is why I don't have Rogue trying to engage Logan in a straight fight. She isn't good enough to take Comics Logan unless she gets lucky. But she doesn't have to charge right at him like she did with Sabretooth, Griffin can teleport her around him like Nightcrawler did.
Also, I don't think it's super plausible for you tele-blitz. I mean my team has faster reflexes and has the device that lets me know where you are. However, I will let the users vote on that.
But Wolverine can get tele-blitzed, as my scans show. The locator won't make any difference, because Griffin isn't trying to hide from him. He'll be near Wolverine, he'll just be changing places fast enough that Rogue can touch Logan when he's looking the other direction. I'm not trying to downplay Logan's speed, I'm saying that he's been vulnerable to such a tactic in the past despite his speed, so he should be vulnerable to it here.
Wolverine doesn't necessarily need to keep up. He can probably time where he is going.
That's not what you said in your first post. You said this:
"Movie Wolverine will deal with Griffin. He has shown in the movies that he's pretty good at 'winging' things and has shown an aptitude to adapt to situations. Even if he doesn't manage to hit Griffin, he still going to keep him on his toes. With his enhanced speed from Wendy, he's going to be able to keep up with Griffin's teleportations in my opinion."
So I showed that he can't.
Also if Griffin is too busy teleporting around he isn't really going to do much for my time.
He's not going to have to repeatedly avoid Wolverine, though. He can 'port a quarter mile away, which gives him close to a minute before Wolverine can even reach him. From there he can survey the situation and make a decision about where to help out. Wolverine can't bother Griffin unless Griffin actively tries to attack him. Logan's travel speed just isn't good enough for it.
You can try having Griffin port Wolverine, but you're risking Wolverine giving him a nice big flesh wound in the process. Getting in melee range of Wolverine is a death wish. I watched the movie and Samuel L Jackson is able to tag them via predicting their movements or faster reflexes. I mean Griffin is still just baseline human.
In the clip you posted, Jackson is able to tag David because Rice doesn't know he's going to get attacked. After that, his powers are messed up by the electricity, which is why Jackson can keep hitting him. And as I've posted, Wolverine isn't good at predicting where Nightcrawler will teleport, even though it's been established that Nightcrawler has a consistent pattern of teleportation. So I don't see him predicting Griffin's movements very well. If Griffin does somehow get tagged, he'll 'port to Rogue and she'll take his teleporting powers, which just makes her even more dangerous.
