Accelerate Metabolism, Siphon Speed, and Speed Boost should all work on "No travel power" settings. I think the Kin power that grants a jump bonus should too (what the heck is its name? Bad brain!).
Or you could always pick missions that don't need much travel, and [Sprint] to your missions. There's a few that are particularly good for that.
@Roderick
Roderick: I think that you're thinking of [Inertial Reduction].

I ask because it seems they have a special nerf in place under that challenge setting. In nova form, he can't fly either. He scrapes along the ground.

..dude, its NO TRAVEL POWERS, of COURSE they don't work >_<
The kin powers count as buffs, not "travel powers". However, it should be noted that siphon speed doesn't increase your runspeed under this setting. Sb might still work on other people, i'm not 100% sure.
-STEELE =)
Allied to all sides so that no matter what, I'll come out on top!
Oh, and Crimson demands you play this arc-> Twisted Knives (MA Arc #397769)

Not only are all the traditional "Travel Powers" greyed out, the challenge setting actually places a radically lower cap on your movement speed. Hurdle will probably exceed your jumpspeed cap while under the travel suppression Ouroboros challenge mode, even singleslotted. While the Kinetics powers should still function in general (IR = unsuppressed jumping ala CJ, SB = crazy +recharge/+recovery), their effect on your movement speed will be greatly stunted.
Rule number six of an empathy defender is NEVER underestimate a blaster's ability to die. I don't care if he has CM, Fort, both RAs, bubbles (both FF and Sonic), and is fighting next to a Storm defender with hurricane on. If there is a way to die in that situation, the blaster will find it.

Come on now. There have always been and will always be workarounds. Besides, I never considered recall friend a travel power, but that's blocked too.

First, please note that I'm not trying to be sarcastic, mean, condescending, etc.
Second, it doesn't matter what you, presonally, consider a travel power. What matters is what the game considers a travel power. If it considered Stamina to be a travel power, you would lose access to it while the No Travel Powers challenge was set.

Biggest Troll on the forums? I'll give you a hint:

I understand. That's why I put in the question because clearly which count and which don't are not as clear as I thought. I'm guessing they did their homework and locked down anything that could get around, but they may have missed something. For example, if Speed Boost from a friend still works, that would be good. It's worth a try anyway.

Just wanted to make sure no offense was taken, since it wasn't my intention to give any. |

And yeah, with the possible exception of Speed Boost, I have to agree that they did a great job with the power lockout.
I wonder if Walk would work... THAT would be funny!!

IR works but you jump no higher than standard combat jump.
