Ring out, magnificent gauges of time! Ring out for me -- the first man to control that most precious of all commodities! 
- — Doctor Tyme src
Doctor Tyme is a brilliant mad scientist specializing in the area of temporal manipulation, although he mostly confined his acts of villainy to committing random crimes and acts of petty theft.
History
He fought the Doom Patrol, and was defeated by Mento, although he evaded capture.[2]
Eventually, he became a member of the Science Squad based on Oolong Island, a collaboration of other brilliant madmen dedicated to making crazy super-weapons. His suspension ray was instrumental in taking down Black Adam during a conflict.[3]
When the Doom Patrol based their new headquarters on Oolong, Tyme grew fearful that they would discover his secret identity, believing that he was their arch-nemesis (although they actually viewed him as mostly inconsequential). Selecting Father Davis as a go-between, Tyme assured the heroes that he no longer wished them any harm and simply wanted to work alongside them in peace.[4]
Powers and Abilities
Powers
- Time Manipulation: Doctor Tyme uses a special beam that can manipulate time within an extremely limited area, usually defined as a single person's space-time perception.
Abilities
- Science: Sutter is a brilliant scientist, albeit without much ambition. He is also somewhat gullible.
Notes
- Although this character was originally introduced during DC's Earth-One era of publication, their existence following the events of the 1985–86 limited series Crisis on Infinite Earths remains intact. However, some elements of the character's Pre-Crisis history may have been altered or removed for Post-Crisis New Earth continuity, and should be considered apocryphal.
