No Time to Explain: Difference between revisions

 

 

* Used by Reed Richards in every single issue of Fantastic Four ever. {{spoiler|Slight, but only slight, exaggeration}}.

* A particularly galling comic book example occured in a plotline in the [[X-Men]] books, especially ''[[Cable]]''. Bishop, a time-travelling X-Man, was determined to kill an infant being protected by Cable because ... he never said, except that she threatened the future in some way. He constantly insisted that the X-Men would agree that she needed to die ''if only they knew'' what a horrible future her survival would lead to. But he just ''never'' had time to explain it to them. This made sense (or at least you could see how it made sense to him) when he was in a running gun battle with Cable. Made a little less sense when the X-Men caught him and held him onto him for a few hours before he escaped.
