Mutants & Masterminds: TIME FOR TIME! (Ronin Roundtable)

Time Traveler’s Codex is now available in PDF format in our Green Ronin Online Store.

When you think about your favorite superhero teams—the Justice League, the X-men, the Ninja Turtles, the Sailor Senshi—what do they all have in common? It’s not masks or tights or even tragic backstories. None of those are universal.

No, to be real superheroes, you need to Travel. Through. Time.

Superheroes have flung themselves through the fourth dimension almost as long as comics have published their misadventures. The Fantastic Four were time-traveling by issue #5, and the entire Legion of Superheroes was kicked-off thanks to a one-off time travel story in the pages of Superboy. Even the world of cinema can’t resist the siren song of chronomancy, as (spoiler warning) the Avengers build a time machine to repair their scarred universe.

So where has the time travel for Mutants & Masterminds been? Right here.
