For humans, time and reality are linear and constant, but when it comes to mutants and super-powered villains and even heroes, those guys think fiddling around with the space-time continuum and altering the fabric of reality are fun pastimes. Rookies never learn, and villains—well, they just get their kicks from other people’s misery, including our own. I always hated the time-traveling episodes of X-Men: The Animated Series, and I still loathe when comic book characters bust a hole in time and reality with a rusty crowbar. We all know these things never end well, so why do they keep insisting on gambling with fate? Because they’re idiots, that’s why.
