Frunt. But watch your dosage.

BTW, FYI everybody, the current issue of Scientific American has a interesting cover featured article about the current opinion among some physicists that we live in a holographic universe.

I mention it here because it begins with a brief discussion of two major theories of entrophy, thermodynamical and informational. I haven't read the full article (a slow go for a non-science major,) but it raises some interesting possibilities in general, and also is food for thought regarding the Time Trapper's supposed relationship to entrophy.

I believe early Legion scribe Edmond Hamilton created the Time Trapper; wonder who he thought was under the hood?

As I've mentioned before, there is an interesting resemblance between the war-ravaged future city that the Time Trapper calls home in the early Adventure issues and the future time to which Dynamo Boy is transported by the LSV. Connecting the two of them would have been a great opportunity...

In those early appearances, TT is only refered to as, paraphrasing, "a super-scientist crimnal mastermind who has created an iron curtain of time."

I doubt Hamilton imagined much more than that. It was really just a device to get Superboy & Mon-El off panel, on a mission to break through the curtain, so that the villain of the month would stand a chance.

This thread owes more to John Forte who, for whatever reason, chose to portray TT in a cloak & hood. Without that compelling visual, I doubt TT would ever have made it out of the Adventure era.
