    Say he were fighting a Jean Grey and she threw up a telekinetic barrier to keep him away from her, could he grab a hold of that barrier and teleport it and her?

    Daddy's curious.

    No, likely not, what with forcefields being generally insubstantial and all.

    teleport the barrier? no. teleport into the barrier? sure, isnt a force field just like a transparent wall. teleport the barrier with him? only if he also ports the source of the barrier.

    pretty sure you could bump into one, seeing as how they stop projectiles and all.

    It would probably really hurt/strain him and depend on how and what the forcefield was made of as far as what happens to the forcefield. Telekinetic force fields born of characters mental powers (and in general) have different consistencies and powers so if it were a weak forcefield he should be able to do this easier than say if were a strong forcefield. Its a bit like him trying to teleport pieces of a mountain, depends on how much he is trying to teleport because he can be strained. Rogue if I recall correctly could teleport more if she was also using Colossus powers at the same time because could handle a bigger strain.

    As far as the forcefield? Well depends again on its nature. With a mountain example, taking a small piece out would just have it have be refilled in. If the forcefield was strong enough it would also probably be filled in, dependent on the power of a telekinetic. Then again if it was a weak telekinetic their might be more strain than they can handle and the whole thing might break or they may lose concentration. So its about thresholds really and pressure exerted and writers discretion. Nightcrawler might be better off teleporting something small and dense into a forcefield to save himself the strain, like Wolverine's head for example.
