Legion World Forums LEGION CLUBHOUSE The Legion of Super-Heroes Long Live the Legion! The Time Trapper- he at fault again?

Isn't that W's job?

Mordru is the "I dress incredibly stupidly and I talk with a weird accent but gawd damn it isn't going to be funny when your house eats you at my command is it!?"

The Time Trapper is dementedly funny in a skeletor like way. He has insane plans but the power to back them up.

Darkseid is...well...he's just Darkseid.

I'd enjoy another Time Trapper story if it showed that he/she was just a fluid entity who's ultimate desire was to find a timeline in which he/she never exists.

I dunno. I like Charles's take on the Trapper. He's immensly powerful but his plans have an element of dementia that spoils his intended results (or do they? -heh- maybe he's Dr. Sivana from the Shazam mythos)

That could be why the Rokk or Glorith Time Trappers didn't quite ring true. Glorith is just a nasty witch with a lust for ultimate power and a thing for Valor and Rokk's motivations were noble but like the Progenitor he'd seen to much death and time to maintain his sanity.

I agree with Kent here, it's fun to speculate.

I personally agree.

Glorith might have been better had they incorporated more of the element that she was once Lori Morning. Something else else so off the wall bizarre like having TT call Rond Vidar Rondee perhaps.

Rokk is also an individual whose personality simply doesn't jive with the TT.

One problem the legion has with its villains is that too often they seem to rely on immortality as a means of driving them mad.

Plastic Man was fine after 3000 years. Immortal Man ditto.

Jan shouldn't have even been immortal but if he had, his interaction with his creations would have probably filled the void in his heart.

The defining moment of the TT for me was when he asked Glorith to give him her hand so he could kiss it and he tossed the hourglass of eternity into it, turning her into protoplasmic goo

A godlike being who rules reality in his own dimension, has the mental need to validate himself by going "SUCKER." to someone he could just annihilate even as a powered down scientist criminal.

Not all villains have to be tragic and while some are great (Magneto, even Doctor Doom and Lex Luthor to some extent). Sometimes it just helps to be an nass-hile.

Maybe he's Dr. John MacIntyre, who never made it home from Korea.

Jan was around for ONE BILLION years though. He was alone for a couple of hundred million years, then he started trying to play god, that took another good few tens of millions to get going...

And by the time they were advanced enough to help him get home or anything of the sort, he wasn't sane enough to think of it - he'd forgotten them. Try and think of someone you met for ten minutes 20 years ago. That's what the Legion would be like to him by then.

Seriously, try and imagine floating in space like that for that long. Just imagine. Try.

And Plastic Man wasn't "fine" after sitting on the bottom of the ocean for a few thousand tears in an emulsionary goo, he was heavily traumatised for a while (and I half-suspect that Continuity Bandit retconned that anyway, although it was so deliberately convoluted it's hard to tell).
