Plot[]
Captain Rivet briefs Empowered on the D-list supervillain Killing Time. Emp is surprised that a villain with chrono-powers could be D-list. However, she soon discovers while fighting Killing Time that he doesn't actually have any time-travel abilities, but rather uses various time-themed items as mundane weapons. He reveals that he settled on this gimmick after twenty failed attempts at making an actual time machine. Emp easily escapes from him, and defeats him by wielding "the elemental power of the earth" -- i.e., by hitting him over the head with a rock.
