Time Travel Escape: Difference between revisions

== Comics ==

* In [[Grant Morrison]]'s ''[[The Invisibles]]'', the protagonists send "psychic projections" of themselves to eighteenth-century France and bring a "projection" of the Marquis de Sade back with them. King Mob explains: "You'll be like a ghost [in the twentieth century] but when you reach the end of your life here you'll unite with your future projection. I know [[Lampshade Hanging|it sounds ridiculous]], but [[Hand Wave|trust me.]]"

* In the [[Marvel Universe]] it looked like this happened, but it didn't. A man believing himself to be Captain Mar-Vell appears. Everyone thinks that he's avoided his death from cancer by jumping forward in time. It turns out that time travel wasn't involved in the first place; the guy's really a Skrull sleeper agent brainwashed into thinking he's the real deal.

** The same sort of plot happened some time after [[The Flash|BarryAllen's]] death when Barry appears at the current Flash, Wally West's doorstep. Wally is confused but glad to see his mentor come back, but things start to get weird when Barry acts more and more like a [[Jerkass]] [[Knight Templar]], making Wally afraid that he [[Came Back Wrong]]. {{spoiler|In reality, the man who appeared was not Barry Allen, but a deluded fan of Barry Allen from the future who went so far as to give himself Barry's face and powers. After his defeat, he returned to the future where he would go on to become Professor Zoom, the Reverse Flash, one of Barry Allen's arch-enemies.}}
