Biography
Origin
Father Time
At the onset of World War III, he was tasked with capturing Black Adam for his crimes where he led a team that ambushed him. Despite the element of surprise, the team were massacred with Father Time having his face ripped off though he managed to survive the incident. The Bride was by his side when he was in the hospital as he waited for his body to undergo the change that would give him a new form. (World War III v1 #1)
After the moulting, he emerged in the body of a black male where he went to see Gonzo who stated that their assault against the Freedom Fighters had failed with the Cosmigods defeated and the Ray Stan Silver returned to them in chains. Gonzo then stated that he intended to implant control chips in all American’s in an effort to take over the nation and then begin a cataclysmic war on the planet. This was in opposition to Father Time’s own goals with Gonzo revealing that he intended to bring death and destruction to this dimension as per his purpose assigned by the Mathmagicians. Thus, he installed control implants over much of S.H.A.D.E.’s Meta-Army but stated that his efforts to control Father Time had failed thus he threatened him to ensure his compliance. Upon seeing his creation out of control, Father Time was then resolved to leaking S.H.A.D.E. secrets to the Freedom Fighters to stop Gonzo before it was too late. (Uncle Sam and the Freedom Fighters v1 #8)
