Future Me Scares Me: Difference between revisions

* Played for all it is worth in a post-Zero Hour issue of DC's ''[[Legion of Super-Heroes (Comic Book)|Legion of Super-Heroes]]'' when the Time Trapper confronted the Legion with just about every possible future and alternate reality version of themselves imaginable. Most of the duplicate Legionnaires get along fine, but others are either villainous, harder and more cynical than their counterparts, or just plain embarrassing.

** Subverted in a pre-Zero Hour issue of LSH v.4 (#40, to be specific) wherein the younger version of sweet, shy, and very feminine Salu Digby, aka Shrinking Violet, is initially horrified at the sight of her older counterpart, a (very) butch lesbian. Once they get to talking, though, the younger Salu decides that "I guess I do hope I turn out a lot like you, after all." (There was no time travel involved, incidentally; one set of Legionnaires were clones of the other.)

* Similarly, when [[Iron Man]] and [[Doctor Doom]] were stuck in 2093, they were not at all pleased with their future namesakes. The villainous future Iron Man was just a relative of Tony's, but the future Doom was Doom himself, a century older and much the worse for wear. Doom killed him without hesitation and walked away vowing never to become "that".

** Victor wasn't pleased when he also met [[Marvel 2099|Doom 2099]].
