Some people can control [[Playing with Fire|Fire]], some control [[An Ice Person|Ice]], and some just get [[What Kind of Lame Power Is Heart, Anyway?|saddled with]] [[The Power of Love|Heart]]. This guy? He controls [[Time Travel|time]] [[Time Stands Still|itself.]] This is called many things, but whether through forbidden magic, [[Imported Alien Phlebotinum]], or just being [[The Chosen One]], he can move through the ages like walking to his kitchen. The powers of the
He may be a member of the [[Time Police]], or the one winding up the [[Timey-Wimey Ball|Timey Wimey Balls,]] but as far as he's concerned, no-when is safe.
Line 51:
** Rip Hunter is The Time Master. He uses his time machine to, in addition to fighting evil and learning martial arts, get the best soda of all time.
** The android [[Hourman]], who was built with precognition and chronal manipulation powers on top of possessing a map of all space and time.
* Parodied with the D-list supervillain Killing Time in ''[[Empowered]]'': he ''doesn't'' have any time powers, but really, really wishes he had. So he uses clock-themed gadgets instead - clock hands thrown as darts, a bolo made by joining the chains of two pocket watches, etc. Emp responds with her "mighty power over plant life"
* ''[[Zero Hour]]'' villain Extant had loosely defined time control powers. He killed several members of the [[Justice Society]] by accelerating their aging to the point of death, and later he defeated Jay Garrick by regressing him back to an age before he acquired super-speed and became the Flash.
* The second [[The Flash|Reverse-Flash]]/Zoom (Hunter Zolomon) does not have [[Super Speed]], as he uses his temporal powers to fake having [[Super Speed]] to battle Wally with.
Line 83:
* [[Sapphire and Steel|Sapphire]] can wind back time. Apart from that, Sapphire and Steel's enemies (which includes, arguably, ''Time itself''), commonly can distort and manipulate time.
* Hiro Nakamura from ''[[Heroes (TV series)|Heroes]]''.
** Also from ''Heroes'', Peter Petrelli, who copied it from Hiro, and Arthur Petrelli, who stole it from Peter. Besides being
* Dr. Tom, the psychiatrist in ''[[Being Erica]]'', seems to have this ability. He not only sends the protagonist Erica back through [[Mental Time Travel|time]] but then appears in her history, be it as a hot dog vendor, repairman, street performer, etc. so she can continue to consult with him.
* The demon [[Meaningful Name|Tempus]] on ''[[Charmed]]'' could create [[Groundhog Day Loop]] s and [[Reset Button|rewind time]]. And later the [[Well-Intentioned Extremist|Avatars]] and [[The Men in Black|The Cleaners]] also had time manipulating powers.

* There are two major groups in ''[[Homestuck]]'' with mastery over time:
** Time is one of the powers available to Sburb players, and one of the two which must occur in every session. [[The Lancer|Dave Strider]] is the Knight of Time in the human session, and [[Emotionless Girl|Aradia Megido]] is the Maid of Time in the troll session. Both are in charge of timeline management - using their powers to establish and take advantage of [[Stable Time Loop|stable time loops]] to ensure things proceed as they must, and to provide [[Trial and Error Gameplay|a way to avert]] [[Bad Future|bad futures]] should things go wrong ([[Harder Than Hard|which they have... often]]). Both use music-themed [[Magic Feather
** {{color|#2ed73a|The Felt}} each have a different power that allows them to manipulate time or perceive things in the past or future. Well, except for [[Dumb Muscle|Biscuits]], whose "power" is hiding in an oven that he thinks lets him time travel into the future. [[The Slow Path|Technically true]], even though he's just traveling at the same rate as everyone else.
* ''[[Wayward Sons]]'': Nysus can speed or slow time in a localized area. He first used it to [[Mundane Utility|rapidly ferment wine]].
