The Time Trapper is a mysterious hooded entity in tattered robes that has manipulated the Legion in many instances, most notably during their time traveling adventures. When a spatial anomaly fractured, due to its abuse by Leland McCauley and the Dark Circle, time and space stopped throughout the galaxy and the Trapper had become entrapped within the anomaly's shards. The Legionnaires whom the Trapper had been manipulating were conditioned against the frozen time/space and were able to re-start time with the aid of the Composite Man, as the Trapper had seemingly planned all along. The Trapper met with Cosmic Boy to thank him for the Legion's assistance but became enraged when Cosmic Boy lashed out at him in anger for being exploited, and vowed that the Legion would one day bow at his feet.
The Time Trapper's true identity is unknown, but there is speculation that he/she may be the future adult counterpart of Lori Morning. Regardless as to whether that speculation is accurate, it is a fact that the Trapper has a special interest in Lori and had given her a mystical dial which she could use to transform herself into various heroic identities. |
