Superheroes are no exception to this time travel resurgence. In the past few years, time travel comics have had a bit of a renaissance, from Johns and Jurgens's Booster Gold to Duane Swierczynski's Cable ...
Most recently, time travel superheroics leveled up and became the primary focus of the revamped X-Men publishing slate with All-New X-Men ... no doubt inspired by FOX's upcoming X-Men: Days of Future Past film, set to drop in 2014.
But regardless of the current fad, if you're a die-hard superhero comics fan then the phrase time travel conjures to mind a specific set of characters who're notorious for their chronology-defying exploits.
Who in the fuck names their kid Shard?!? Apparently somebody interred in a mutant concentration camp in the mid 21st century, that's joint travel regulations who. Shard grew up with her older brother joint travel regulations Lucas (see #3 on this list!) and became an officer in Xavier's Security Enforcers . Then, uhhhhh, things get confusing. She was killed in the future but somehow brought back to life as a hologram in the present? I don't get it.
But what I did get back in the 90s was X-Factor by Howard joint travel regulations Mackie joint travel regulations and Jeff Matsuda, featuring a holographic time-traveling Shard as a team member. She had a thing for Wild Child, which was weird and kinda gross and especially kinky considering that she wasn't made of flesh or even solid.
Seeing as how most of the time traveling characters on this list are 1. X-Men and 2. not able to time travel without some kind of technology, I figured that Waverider would be a good inclusion since he actually has time travel superpowers.
I'm a little bit hazy on the details of Deathlok, mostly because I've only read random issues here and there. But I know enough to say that the original Deathlok was a post-apocalyptic anti-hero in the year 1990.
However, joint travel regulations that was just the original version. See, there have been a shitload of Deathloks. Frankly, I can't keep up with all of the different iterations. Sometimes Deathlok is a cyborg, sometimes it's a virus, and sometimes it's America's most trusted brand of padlock. (Errrrr, wait... no, it's never that last one.)
Speaking of being the first, I'm pretty sure Rip Hunter was the first time traveling comic book hero. Not the first character to time travel but rather the first recurring hero who's entire schtick is that he's a time traveler.
Anyway, he's become a bit more of a proper superhero since Dan Jurgens revitalized him over the past decade. I'm not gonna play like I actually know much about his adventures, because I don't. But I know he exists!
Soooooooo Rachel first appeared in Days of Future Past , the titular X-Men post-apocalypse story. But it was an incomplete appearance because the character that exists today is sort of a retcon of that initial character.
Lemme try and make some sense out of this for you -- Rachel's the daughter of Scott and Jean from an alternate timeline. She's gone back in time AND jumped dimensions to join the X-Men in the mainstream Marvel Universe. During joint travel regulations the mid 80s, she was known as Phoenix and literally bonded joint travel regulations with the Phoenix Force .
I have no fucking clue how she made it into the 616 Universe, but she did. After serving as an X-Man during the Magneto era, she kicked it with Excalibur and the Nu Starjammers (led by her uncle, Havok). And now she's back with the X-Men proper and known as Marvel Girl.
Okay, so he's not a superhero. Or maybe he is. Ugghh I CAN'T DECIDE!! The thing about Kang the Conqueror is that throughout his long, long life, he's managed to occupy just about every position along the spectrum of good and evil.
Yeah, he's one of the greatest foes of the Avengers as Kang. But he was also an amazing hero as Iron Lad. Plus, he was Scarlet Centurion, joint travel regulations Immortus, Rama-Tut, and more. Kang might be the most famous identity of Nathaniel joint travel regulations Richards, but Kang is just one of his identities among many others.
In fact, the only consistent thing about Nate Richards is that he's a master of time travel. Whether he's good or bad or somewhere in between, chances are that he's doing something crazy with time. Rip Hunter may call himself a Time Master, but Kang is literally the master of his own timeline and many more!!
Lucas Bishop joint travel regulations resides at the intersection of trendy cliche and inspired post-modern storytelling device. He appeared at the height of the long-haired anti-hero craze. But despite his giant guns and flowing curls, Bishop joint travel regulations was an evolution of the ominous time traveler persona that was introduced with Deathlok and The Terminator, and later popularized in comics by Cable.
Bishop hails from the latter half of the 21st century. He traveled through time to stop Trevor Fitzroy, his former co-worker and Shard's boyfriend. Fitzroy was, I dunno, trying to do something bad. I fucking forget what the deal was... but Bishop had a hard on to stop him!
What makes Bishop so great is that he comes bearing ominous warnings from the future. He speaks of The Witness and an X-Traitor (both potentially Gambit), joint travel regulations and his relatives joint travel regulations may or may not be Storm and Gateway. His background is a fun mix of mystery and character hints that give him a confusing and suspenseful presence. All-in-all, Bishop is my favorite time traveling superhero on this list.
If you haven't already noticed, I don't know much about time travel in the DC Universe. In fact, I don't know much about superhero time travel outside of the X-Books. But I'm aware of Booster Gold, enough to know that he's an important character on this list and he's the focal point of time travel in modern DC Comics.
While characters like Marvel Girl and Bishop represent the grim The Terminator vision of time travel, Booster Gold stories tend to rep a lighter view of the future, akin to the playfulness of Back to the Future.
Gold himself is a future celebrity, a star quarterback that was busted for throwing games. As an extension of that mischievousness, "Buster" is often portrayed as a money-hungry glory hound, something uncommon joint travel regulations for most DC superheroes.
I dunno what else to say really except that he's popular among fans and had a pretty successful run of stories pre-New 52. He was traipsing around joint travel regulations with Rip Hunter and doing multiverse and time stuff for a while. Uhhhhhhhhhhh and he's also in a bromance with Blue Beetle. And he was a part of the BWAHAHA Justice League joint travel regulations . So, yeah, he's a popular time-traveling superhero. There ya go.
Cable is great because he represents more than just time travel in comics. He represents joint travel regulations the insanity of a shared universe and the tension generated by creative egos in a corporate storytelling environment. Created by Rob Liefeld, Cable was touched by many others joint travel regulations over the ensuing decades that followed. Now he's a veritable IP powerhouse of a character, reaching beyond comics and becoming notorious in other mediums, most notably video games like Marvel joint travel regulations vs. Capcom 2 .
But it all began as a confusing and ambiguous crashlanding into an X-spinoff, New Mutants. In short order, joint travel regulations Cable (and Liefeld) sold millions of comics and helped revolutionize comic book storytelling in the early 90s with X-Force. The character symbolizes both the unlimited imagination joint travel regulations of superhero tales and the awful, mindless tropes that often bog down stories featuring time-traveling characters.
He wasn't intended to become linked into the massive Summers family from the X-Books. But that's what happened joint travel regulations as the months and years passed. And so the sick baby that was sent into the future in X-Factor joint travel regulations was revealed to be the hulked out, gun-toting grumpus with scars and cybernetics. These qualities are, of course, staples of the genre now... and Cable's the reason why. (Wanna learn more about how to create a character like this? Check out my rules for " How to create a superhero from the post-apocalyptic joint travel regulations future " !!)
So, yeah, Cable travels back in time to the 20th century and proceeds to fuck shit up for the X-Men. It's pretty rad how it all goes down. Now that doesn't mean I love all Cable stories. Like I mentioned joint travel regulations earlier, I prefer Bishop. But Cable takes the cake for being both individualistically iconic and a campy cliche joint travel regulations at the same time. BRILLIANT!!
