Time Travel

 

A number of individuals have possessed time travel abilities.  Metis was a Titan who could not only travel through time but was instantly aware of any changes in history.  Minuteman was a speedster who learned not only to travel through time but also visit alternate realities.  It has been discovered a number of realms of the ancients still in contact with Earth (Olympus, Atlantis, etc.) are immune to changes in time and many missions to return things to their proper order have been launched from those locations.

 

The most significant villain to use Time Travel was The Professor, a man named Ramsey Page, who would be born sometime around 2050.  Page stole Time Travel technology from a brilliant scientist, and sold trips to the past to a number of villains.  One of them took the name Edmund F. Draecker, actually a mythic German Foreign Service officer name was used in a number of intelligence operations before and during World War Two.  He killed Adolf Hitler and took his place, using Hitler's tactics and his own knowledge of future history to rise to power.  Metis was imprisoned at the time, and Minuteman has not gained his powers so neither could prevent the change in history.

 

One of Page's clients was Igor Rasputin, a Russian scientist who became the scourge of the Free World.  He aligned himself with Vasilii Zhelezo, a superhuman who was originally known as the Red Guard.  He convinced Zhelezo that Stalin's rule would lead to disaster, and helped him kill him and take his place.  They changed the course of the history of the world, but not in the way they expected.

 

Unknown to Page, the history of the world had already been changed when Metis was freed by Stephen Clark, and her resulting defiance of Cronus, King of the Titans.  Because Metis returned to the Twentieth Century to rescue Stephen, the Titans went their separate ways causing an explosion in the numbers of superhumans.  Ultimately the United States would find itself the home of many superheroes who would go on to defeat Page, Draecker, Zhelezo, and Rasputin among the other villains in history.
