My Own Grampa: Difference between revisions

** Kang is a bit of a mess. There is another character, more or less a good guy, who's a future version of Kang, and there turns out to be a rather large group of Kangs, from different points of their own time line or from parralel realities, that cooperate and occasionally congregate for various purposes, then there's a larger group of Kang-analogs that are clearly Kang but have different faces, different genders, different species...

** It is supposed to be impossible in the Marvel universe to become our own ancestor because you can't actually travel into your own past. If you try, you end up in what will already become a different universe than the one you left (for example, Rachel Summers tried to avert the future she came from, only to eventually find out she had arrived in a different time line).

 

 

 

== [[Literature]] ==

** Not only that, {{spoiler|the main character himself is his own <s> father</s> <s> father and grandfather</s>}}'' {{spoiler|his entire line of male ancestors.}}'' ''Lots'' of {{spoiler|time travel}} needed for that.

* Played to the extreme in the [[Robert A. Heinlein]] story ''[[All You Zombies]]'', {{spoiler|about a man who was both of his own parents. He was born a female, but was really a [[Hermaphrodite]] and lost his female parts after giving birth. Then he went back in time and had sex with himself, in an attempt to save herself from that man who knocked her up and left her, then kidnapped his baby self, went back in time, and dropped it off at an orphanage. Every single significant character in the story turns out to be that one individual.}}

 

== [[Video Games]] ==

* ''[[Digimon Tamers: Brave Tamer]]'' establishes that a combination of this and [[Timey-Wimey Ball]] to [[Mind Screw]] levels resulted in the birth of {{spoiler|1=Millenniumon: far in his future as ZeedMillenniumon he released Apocalymon, whose presence came to cause the existence of [[Digimon Adventure|the Dark Masters]]. One of the Dark Masters was Mugendramon, who after his appparent death merged with a Chimairamon to form Millenniumon, who would go on to do horrible things, become ZeedMillenniumon, et cetera.}}

** Add to that that Chimairamon was created by {{spoiler|Ken}} as a direct result of him [[More Than Mind Control|having been hit by Milleniummon's {{spoiler|dark spores}}]] years earlier. The irony being that {{spoiler|Ken}} ended up setting the events in motion that screwed up Ryo's life by [[Taking the Bullet]] for him.

 

== Webcomics ==

* ''Wicked Powered'': Taken to its natural extreme. The main character was sent back in time twice (once [[Gender Bender|as a woman]] and once as a man). He arrived in the same time on both occasions. The two instances met, fell in love, got married, and gave birth to a child. Take a guess as to who this child was. {{spoiler|Oh. And the 'aunt' he was living with was actually his pet monkey.}} And apparently, being your own parents makes you immortal. Or something.

* ''[[Homestuck]]'' has the most bizarre form yet. {{spoiler|John, in the present, finds a cloning station which is locked on to four people: his Nanna, Jade's Grandpa, Rose's Mom, and Dave's Bro. He clones all four of them, using paradox slime. The slime from Nanna and Grandpa is mixed together, as is the slime from Mom and Bro. From the Grandpa/Grandma slime, clones of John and Jade are created, as are Rose and Dave from Mom/Bro slime. The part where it gets weird though, is when these clone babies are sent back in time, to become the regular them.}}
