Set Right What Once Went Wrong: Difference between revisions

* The mission of Samaritan in ''[[Astro City]]''. He actually did set things right before the series started, but now his own time period has [[Stranger in a Familiar Land|changed beyond recognition]].

* [[Cable]] has apparently set as his ultimate goal to set right ''everything'' that went wrong, like preventing [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast|Apocalypse]] from waking up. (He then wakes up Apocalypse himself by accident. [[Good Job Breaking It Hero|Good job]].)

* Archie's ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog (comics)|Sonic the Hedgehog]]'' series:

** Silver's personal [[Story Arc]] is much the same as in ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog (2006 video game)||Sonic the Hedgehog 2006]]''—he comes from a [[Bad Future]] where the world is all but destroyed, and is constantly traveling through time trying to find a way to undo it, with his only clue being that the betrayal of a member of the Freedom Fighters was somehow key to this disaster. Of course, like his game counterpart he's being advised by a -- supposedly reformed --- villain, so we'll have to wait and see how that turns out.

** A [[Story Arc]] in the early 100's issues involved Knuckles' future daughter Lara-Su attempting to undo her own [[Bad Future]] by preventing her father's assassination. Unfortunately, when she got back to her time, she discovered that her mother had lied to her in order to protect her—the truth was, Knuckles hadn't died, he'd pulled a [[Face Heel Turn]] and was in fact responsible for the [[Bad Future]] they lived in. The bright side, however, is that the "present" Lara-Su had visited was the series' main timeline, while her future is an [[Alternate Universe|alternate one]]. So we don't have to worry about our Knuckles switching sides like that.

* In the ''[[Star Trek]]'' "Time Crime" miniseries, someone screwed up the timeline so that Klingons aren't aggressive warmongers and the Romulan Empire doesn't exist. Despite the positive bits, Kirk and Spock still have to fix everything because the overall outcome would ultimately be a [[Bad Future]]. That and, as bad as Romulans are, they don't deserve to be ''erased from time''. In one Tearjerker moment, Kirk realizes that "fixing" the timeline will mean losing his son David (in the real timeline David was killed by Klingons), and he gives his son one final hug before embarking on his trip through time.
