Time Traveler (Malign = Mal-9)
discoveres time travel, just gone
gone back and forth so often, can't remember what they do and don't know,
sometimes
multiples running around, sometimes villain, sometimes hero
Time and distance are literally infinite
tried everything, done everything
many names, contradictory motives and methods
