The sort of new trendy name that I absolutely loathe is Nevaeh. That is heaven spelt backwards.

Well, it's a better name than Lleh.

If spelling a word backwards makes it mean the opposite, maybe Lleh would be a better choice.
The only character in all of literature who has been described as "badnass" while using the phrase "vile miscreant."

Or it could end up like Zatanna's powers, and spelling backwards makes it happen...

I wonder what happens when it's Bizarro Zatanna speaking backwards.

There was a Zatanna story where the bad guy was reversing Zatanna?s words to undo her spells. When she realized what he was doing, she casts her spells using only palindromes.

Pretty clever. And wow, she must have quite the vocabulary... I would try speaking all in palindromes, but probably wouldn't even be able to finish a sentence!

Every palindrome I know I learned from Weird Al's "Bob." Hey, waitaminnit. I'm confused. Did Ibby already deliver the coup de grace to this thread?

Based on the time stamps from April 2 and April 3, I think this thread survived!

The time thing always confuses me.  I should be in bed anyway.

Maybe that's why the Legion's Time Trapper never won. He just found the whole time travel thing a bit confusing.

What if by traveling through time you altered the rules of time travel?

I recall reading a story where the person inventing time travel kept changing. He'd always have a reason for inventing the machine. But would be completely unaware that every time it happened, the world and its history changed around him.

Love that concept Thoth. If you ever remember who wrote the story I would love to read it.
In the Doctor Who universe the Time Lords not only discovered/invented time travel but then setup the rules around it - not just ethical laws but actual physical laws about how it worked (at least in the off-screen canon).

Stephen Fry wrote a book about going back and preventing Hitler from being born. It is titled ?Making History?. It is quite good.

I'd hazard a guess that it was a Future Shock in 2000AD. Another story there had 2 temporal investigators going on a case and returning to HQ. There are other people in the backgrounds, and as the story continues, you see that they are all the two investigators, at different points in time.

How Kyle got a descendant when all his partners end up dead in fridges remains a mystery.

They'd need the powers to survive serial killers and misogynist writers too.

If you can survive a refrigerator, you can survive those. The refrigerator is more threatening  and I have the fake statistics to back it up!
