The Time Trapper

The Time Trapper was a being who existed at the End of Time, originally Rokk Krinn (Cosmic Boy) of the Legion of Super-Heroes. After studying for untold centuries in the great Library of Time, and learning all he could about the time stream and ways to manipulate it, he also learned of the impending Zero Hour crisis. He resolved to save his former teammates, and became the Time Trapper.

As the Trapper, he set up various defenses and attempts at saving the Legion, such as the Iron Curtain of Time, and creating the SW6 Legionnaires. However, he had not banked on the instability of time created by the Crisis on Infinite Earths, and every attempt was subverted, distorted, or simply failed. This eventually drove him mad, and he alternated between even more grandiose schemes to save the Legion, and even attempting to destroy them.

He was responsible, in the post-Crisis universe, for creating the Pocket Universe. He was apparently destroyed by the wizardess Glorith, but he (or a variant of him) survived in the remains of the Pocket Universe, until Glorith tracked him down and absorbed his remaining power and knowledge. She was temporarily the Time Trapper herself, but somehow, she was removed from that role.

By Zero Hour's occurrence, the Time Trapper was back, and was attacked by the being known as Extant. He survived, but his sanity was restored. Convening with his past self, the two decided to stabilize their world by merging the SW6 Legion with their original counterparts. This managed to ensure the recreation of the Legion, in a new form, after the universe was remade. The Time Trapper was satisfied with victory, but his peace was short-lived, as he was slain by Extant's master, Parallax.

Post-Zero Hour

Another Time Trapper existed after Zero Hour, but it is not Rokk Krinn- whoever it is, they have long, purple hair.
