Sector-house teleporters were in place by 2120 in the alternate future of City of the Damned, and weren't they used in Trifecta too (or did I dream it)? Teleporters have also cropped up a few times in the hands of perps (the recent Sharks-on-legs story), aside from the DJs purloined ones.
As to Kraken vs. The Giant Judda, I'd assume that he's a largely unaltered Fargo Clone (hence Justice Dept's interest), whereas the others are a result of Judd's tinkering with the clone-stock.
