What if their time traveling device is a bit wonky? What if an individual (like The Flash) has the innate ability to time travel but needs a supporting device (like The Cosmic Treadmill) for accuracy?

Are we thinking of a single linear time or a multi-stranded time?

isn't anything other than the multiverse a fantasy?

What is your favourite alternate world story?

Solitaire1 · 02-08-2021, 03:55 PM

Would that be the recent Metal Men miniseries where, due one small change, an alternate version of Earth is on the way to complete and total destruction at the hands of elemental robots (such as sodium, aluminum and plutonium)?

How do you get around the size limits of a robot built from plutonium?

Why would you want to?

Are you familiar with the term "critical mass"?

See this Wikipedia article for more information.

Make your plutonium robot too big and it go boom! Kinda of like the Fat Man did on 1945-Aug-06.

Is this thread making anyone else's head hurt?

binaryhermit · 02-09-2021, 04:37 PM

Might it be because I'm thinking too much because I'm confused about what's going on?

In Metal Men #45, didn't The Plutonium Man (a different robot from the one in the recent Metal Men miniseries) end up going China Syndrome and appear to be destroyed? Yet, in Metal Men #47, didn't he return as two beings, a smaller version of his original self and a mindless drone that he can control and direct to change into different elements (such as Liquid Oxygen and Tungsten), with the splitting allowing them to remain below critical mass?

Could it be because of having to formulate posts in Jeopardy style?

You don't like formulating your answer as a question?

Isn't there an answer thread too?
