1. Who in the LNH has a time machine or time travel powers?
2. Does anyone know how to get ahold of Gary St. Lawrence?

Oooooh, yes, the TANDI.

Ah, yes, due to his Silver Age Superman-y powers.

Man. I wonder what the upper power level of edits to Wikiboy is. Could we
have... OPEN-SOURCE GOD??

There's the time-cycles from Pigs in Time, the time packs from Beige
Midnight...

The members of the Legion, each using their own personal methods of
traveling thru time...

just how powerful Minority Miss is. I mean, the concept
for her abilities is that she has the powers of any three
characters: well, if she has the powers of any three gods
or other types of cosmic entities...
I strikes me that this is the same type of ambiguity
about the upper limit of character concept as WikiBoy.
The burning question is: In a world like the LNH imprint - any
of the LNH imprints - where you have people like Kid kirby
in the same organisation as Cheesecake-Eater Lad - do we
really need to define the upper limit of people's character?
[I was going to, but am now explicitly refusing, to have
Hooded Who'dwin appear in this post and demand to see a Cosmic
Clash between those two. I'm sorry, but I just don't think I
have the time to give that story idea justice right now.]
