Tyler Tripper

"I am Time Agent X of the Hands of Time. You are disrupting the timeline. Prepare to be corrected."Tyler Francis Tripper is a mutant appearing in Winter Risen, portrayed by Power Houz. The rights to the version of Tyler Tripper that appears in the Winter Risen series has been stripped from the original owner, due to them being flagrantly egotistical and clearly lacking any interest in "letting things go". 
== Appearance & Personality ==
Tyler is a 5'8", 21-year-old mutant male with dark brown hair, muted blue eyes, and light skin. His hair is usually quite messy and protrudes out to the side. His physique varies to a significant degree due to his metabolism, but for the most part, he's usually quite fit, but not bulky.
Tyler has a scar of twelve points in a circle on his back, representing a clock formation. He was born with these scars for an unknown reason. It is from this point that his temporal energy is the strongest.
== History ==
=== Background ===
Tyler's parents, Francis "Frank" Tripper and Caroline Tripper, conceived him while his mother was working in the field of science. She had come across new technologies that could alter the aging processes of objects and organisms, but accidentally exposed herself to the energy produced by those machines while pregnant with him, becoming the catalyst for his time-based powers. His father, unknowingly, was a mutant, and had passed on the mutant gene to Tyler.
=== Early Life ===
Tyler grew up in a troubled household. His father began drinking when he was around five years old, and the alcoholism only became worse as time went on. When he was eleven years old, it had gotten so bad that his father, Frank, was openly criticizing and hating mutants. Due to the scientific experimentation his mother had gone through despite her pregnancy with both him and his sister, Marissa, both the Tripper children gained non-mutant superpowers. However, Frank was too drunk to know and understand this, so before one of his many drunken arguments with his wife, he killed Marissa at the age of two because he saw her climbing around the walls. As Frank and Caroline argued, she found out about his actions, slapping the bottle of alcohol from his hand, which he took as an aggressive act. He took the bottle once more and beat Caroline to death, albeit not entirely on purpose. He called up a few shady friends to help him dispose of her body as well as immediately continue an affair he was having behind the scenes. Tyler had been listening from the attic the whole time.
=== Becoming a Mutant ===
Four to five years later, while he was out on an exercise run, Tyler began to discover his mutant power of super speed. However, due to his latent time powers gained during conception and pre-birth development, his own physics and interaction with the world was altered and inverted. He was living his life in a kind of "reverse" physics (see Powers and Abilities). As such, he couldn't figure out how to voluntarily or mentally deactivate it.
=== Discovery ===
A year later, when Tyler was 16, his mutant powers were discovered by his father Frank and his stepmother Jennifer post-coitus when he returned from his run at super speed. Frank threw beer bottles in a drunken rage, cursing at him and getting in a shouting match, before Tyler voluntarily left his home for good, running off into the depths of New York. He stayed undetected for two years, silently using his powers to get by, stealing to get food, and being suspected to be the mutant who was stealing from those around him, growing the racism and hatred of mutants. He was living by himself in one of the many abandoned buildings in the state when he was approached by an undisclosed individual who invited him to the Xavier School for Gifted Youngsters, which he accepted. He spent the next three years of his life living in Westchester, where the school was located.
== Present-Day ==
=== Winter Risen ===
Tyler had been living at the school ever since he was found. He was one of many applicants who succeeded in acceptance to the Next-Men program, which was designed to create a new generation of X-Men.
Since he had been experiencing his inverted physics for his whole life, Tyler was trying to find a way to essentially "turn off" those abilities. While he was figuring it out, he met a girl named Annabelle, whom he developed a crush on. They went out with each other a few times, talking about mutant life, especially when he got in a scuffle with some of the Purifiers. After a while, he finally revealed he liked her, but the two, to avoid awkwardness, stayed separate from one another for a while. In the meantime, Tyler finally managed to make a device in the shape of a watch that could turn off his powers with fellow Next-Men Scott Harrison and Darius (his boss at the time), so he could experience normal reality. However, it did backfire on its first test run and it caused Tyler, who was 18 years old, to grow to 21. More accurately, his entire personal history was shifted back three years, which he learned by going through his late mother's old Facebook memories.
Later on, Annabelle finally agreed to meet Tyler and talk about their friendship and relationship, rejecting him and remaining solely his friend. This didn't hurt Tyler too much per se, but it did cause something in him to snap (later revealed to be the first machinations of the people behind his time powers), becoming colder and more calculating. He was constantly roving about disturbances to the timeline and fixing errors in it. One of those "errors" was Scott, as he was a fellow speedster, and those with their powers had the ability to mess with time, so Tyler set out to kill him emotionlessly, before being stopped by the combined forces of Joseph Memphist, Darius, and Scott. Tyler quickly managed to leave once again to "think out" how to get rid of the temporal threats, but was really getting away so he could have a mental conversation with the disembodied voice he was being controlled by, revealed to him to be The Hands of Time, which claimed he was one of many of their agents across time. Nonetheless, Tyler used his watch with the help of Joseph and Darius to turn off his powers, and therefore, shut out The Hands. After this outbreak of emotionless action, Tyler swore off the Next-Men and being a powered individual, leaving the mansion and doing his studies in an apartment, practicing law classes.
During this period of isolation, attacks and other events occurred at the school involving Marcus, a telepathic and telekinetic. Tyler was no longer involved in these events, and was even approached by Joseph and Darius again while he was at his job in Walmart to try and come back to help them, seeing that Marcus was a big threat. He turned them down and was called by his boss to talk about something, only to be nearly killed at gunpoint for being a mutant. His boss, along with several others began firing on him while he tried to escape, but was riddled with so many bullet shots that he couldn't get anywhere, hiding in a bush. Tyler realized that being a mutant was all he had, so in a final act of understanding, he avoided the bullet shot barely, and disarmed his boss, leaving him unconscious. Tyler was then returned to the X-Mansion where he continued to live. He was also evicted from his apartment for being a mutant. News would spread, but it wasn't anything Tyler paid mind to.
A while later, Tyler met Penemue Chazaqiel while with Joseph in his dormitory. The female Neyaphem was under pact by Joseph to be an ally in exchange for her own sexual pleasure, which was due to a curse placed on her in her 20s by an unnamed magician. She initially took a liking to him, seeing he was a fit male and quite handsome, but he ran away from her as her intentions were purely not of love but by her curse. When he was notified she left, he returned to his dorm to continue his studies. A week or so passed by, and Tyler heard Penemue inside of his neighbor and best friend Trent's room. He heard the sounds of her adult content, assuming she had managed to seduce Trent. When he came to check, he realized it was actually just her on her phone, and Trent, no longer comfortable with the situation, also left his room when Tyler did. They had a quick chat about her being there and if Trent had a genuine crush on her, which he did not have. Tyler left Trent so he could get fresh air, but went to check his room for any of the spellbooks that Joseph was lending the both of them. Penemue greeted him instead. He was not expecting someone of her attractive build and appearance to greet him, so his body naturally reacted hormonally, which gave her the idea that she could use him to sate her curse. He agreed to it, because he felt that it would be embarrassing and uncomfortable to run around in his condition. However, as they were about to make love, he noticed that she was crying and not in the best mood. He asked her about it, soon learning that she was cursed. So, in exchange for his services the entire night, he would help her find a way to get rid of it. She agreed, finally seeing as someone she could love. Tyler himself didn't initially believe he'd fall in love with her since his only goal was to help someone in need after not being at the school to help for so long.
The following day, he enlisted the help of Joseph to rid her of the curse, after which he decided to take her out on a date, as they both shared similar events in their lives of not being able to be in control of themselves. In his case, it was with his emotionless actions when trying to correct time. In hers, it was the curse brought upon her. They went out to a carnival and movie, finishing off the day with lovemaking, but this time it was because she truly loved him. The following morning, Tyler re-engaged in Next-Men activities with his team.
Soon after, Tyler began learning more and more about The Hands of Time, as they continued to reach out to him. This initially put him in a shocked fear that he would die not following their orders, and to calm his nerves he and Penemue made love again, but he ultimately resolved to let them enter his mind, to which extent, his soul left his body in a trance while he entered a kind of separate dimension where all of the Agents of Time gathered. Here, he met Agent Prime, the first and original version of Tyler. He learned that his own designation was Agent X for being the tenth discovered in the multiverse. It turned out that the way the Hands reached out to him was more or less an accident, since they use different methods to reach out to other worlds and didn't switch to their methods for Tyler. Relieved, Tyler was tasked with maintaining his timeline's secure path as events unfurled. His mind returned to reality and he continued living his life with Penemue, starting to moderate their lifestyle. Joseph offered them a room in his apartment to help with this. Around this time, Tyler and Penemue talked about his scar, which burned her to the touch, but as she persisted, continued to warm up to her, and eventually ended up linking her and Tyler's timelines together to the point where they would live as long as one another and die simultaneously, while also giving her some more human traits.
Another month came along and Tyler felt a great disturbance within him. He later found out that it was James Hudson, the son of Victor Creed, having attempted to keep Arrow safe by erasing his memory. This was detrimental because James is related to Wolverine in this universe. He enlisted the help of Penemue after Joseph relayed when Arrow came to him and told him what was wrong. Tyler had recently unveiled a new power, Rewind, that he figured he could use on James, going by Logan, to get his memories back. It succeeded, cementing his role as a timeline agent.
Tyler reencountered Scott sometime later and the two immediately locked in battle, since the last time they were together, Tyler was actively trying to kill him. Tyler did win the battle, but not after both of them suffered major damage from each other. Tyler brought him to the medical ward to be treated. Later, James would constantly be under attack by his father, Creed, and in most instances kidnapped to Japan to be experimented on and have organs harvested, since his healing factor would just return those organs. Tyler would routinely come to James' aid at those times.
Moving forward, Penemue's fame as a streamer had begun to grow, so she naturally encountered fans wherever she went, especially when Tyler brought her out on a shopping date at Target to buy some Nintendo Switches. What happened there, however, was some confusion and a scuffle with Penemue being bombarded by fans who were trying their hardest to get a piece of her clothing, have her sign their papers, or even touch her in any way possible. Tyler managed to pull her away and escape with the help of an employee, but the police showed up after hearing reports of a riot, being Penemue's fans. Tyler and Penny tried to escape discreetly, but Penemue's visible mutant appearance caught the attention of law enforcement and they began firing on them. Scott came in to help, but Tyler was so infuriated by constant attack that he fought off the police violently before fighting Scott directly. The fight ended with Tyler badly hurt and sent to the medical ward in the school. He and Scott had an ongoing argument about how Tyler went about using his powers, and Scott embedded this disbelief in Tyler that he was worth the trouble. It played into Tyler's fears and insecurities about becoming like his father, which set him on a suicidal path. He remarked that he could kill himself and the trouble would be over so Scott would be satisfied. Scott made no reply that kept Tyler from thinking about trying. He called Arrow and Joe, who he considered family, to help him with his situation. They managed to discourage him from attempting suicide, but couldn't shake off his inner doubts about himself.
As time progressed, James Hudson invited the family (Joseph, Arrow, Tyler, and Penemue) to a round-the-world vacation. During their trip, when they stopped in France, Penemue embarrassed Tyler in front of the family by bringing up what they've done when sleeping together. He later confronted her about it in their hotel room which led to him accidentally hurting her the same way his father hurt his mother. He took it to heart and, when Penemue left to be alone, he got in a fight with Joseph, which only furthered his self hatred after seeing what he was doing. Alone, he attempted suicide by aging down a television to drain him of his healing ability and letting it crash onto him, the glass and circuits piercing his body. He lay on the floor bleeding out for maybe half an hour, hoping death would consume him. However, Arrow and Joe used their respective abilities to heal and save Tyler. When he came to, Tyler agreed with Penemue that they should remain separate by leaving her a note in the hotel while he ran all the way back to the states, but particularly in Texas, rather than New York, just so Joseph couldn't find him. He legitimately believed she would be better off without him since he convinced himself that he would end up as cruel of a man as his biological father.
When the family arrived in Japan, it was more or less just Penemue, Arrow, and James. After they finished visiting, Penemue announced she would be staying in Japan. She was left alone, but during a shopping run a while later, was kidnapped by a female fan and her mute boyfriend, who promptly attempted to sexually assault her in private alongside several bulky companions. Penemue managed to fight some of them off, but finally called out for Tyler to help her over the phone. Tyler loved Penemue with all his heart, so he raced to Japan to find her, and when he did, he went into a murderous rage against the would-be rapists, helping Penemue defeat them. However, still infuriated, he killed most everyone there that she didn't already kill, even beating down blindly on a corpse. The pair returned home amidst somber feelings and did not make love as they usually did, since the insults brought along in their argument made him self-conscious about whether or not he was sexually adept or if she was faking enjoyment the whole time. After a while of talking and convincing in the coming weeks, Penemue managed to convince him that he was truly her favorite.
==== The Mutant Purge Era ====
As his life continued, Tyler continued loving Penemue, going so far as to purposefully make suggestive noises whenever Joseph was nearby with her as a kind of prank. They continued living their lives until The White Queen, Emma Frost, used her powers and the Cerebro technology in the X-Mansion to wipe every mutant's powers off the face of the Earth save for her own and those of her organization, The Hellfire Club. Tyler had to resort to using magic he learned from Joseph after her attack on the mansion and then her mutant wipe, but began designing a way for him to get back his powers, since in reality, his Time Powers were extradimensional, not mutant, and therefore, with some specific genetic recoding, could access them once again. With the help of Hank McCoy, Tyler was able to regain his powers and resume his duties.
One day, when Arrow was visiting, Joseph had enough of the noises so he aggressively implored the pair to stop, but the way it came off to Tyler was a bit insensitive, which struck his nerves about being like his father, which he and Penny already had established he was not as they made up for their prior argument. Tyler felt attacked by Arrow and Joseph while they confronted him, and when he mentioned his father, they realized they ticked him off in a poor way. Everyone but Tyler and Penny remained in the apartment at that time, and he resolved to go buy a house away from everyone, feeling that they didn't feel like he needed to be around anymore. The two took the next hours getting a house as soon as possible and moved away into it. When his family realized he was gone, they felt regretful for insulting him in that way, but he remained stubborn and stayed in his new home. Around this time was when Tyler and Penemue really fell in love with each other even more than they had before, and when prompted by Joseph about being adopted, Tyler made a remark that he'd rather have Penemue take on the name "Tripper" and not "Memphist." This surprised her, as she planned to propose to Tyler, but he met her with his own marriage proposal. The two have since been engaged.
As time went on, James and Arrow continued to suffer assault from their own families, being Victor Creed on James' side, and AK Gook on Arrow's side. James actively tried to kill Creed, but was not as able as his father and was always beaten. Arrow wanted to believe her brother could be helped, but instead he tried to advance her already poor suicidal thinking. One particular day, James was killed by Creed while Tyler attempted to save him. However, Tyler couldn't stand to let his adoptive sister go without a husband and father for their incoming child, so he took James' corpse and, with the help of some dangerous magic from Joseph, revived James into a cyborg. After that, the trio traveled to Arrow's biological brother's house to show her James was okay, and Tyler assisted the Library, a minor character, in punishing her brother AK for trying to kill Arrow and actively seeking out her poor health.
Tyler wanted to spend more time with his adoptive sister, but James' natural overprotectiveness as well as his fear of Creed returning and trying to hurt him and Arrow prevented him from doing so. It seemed otherwise when a test-tube amalgamation of Tyler, James, Creed, Arrow, and Keniuchio Harada (the Silver Samurai)'s DNA, came to the US in search of his "parents," particularly favoring Tyler. Jonathan was soon taken out of the picture and seemingly died by Creed's hand.
Tyler continued living his life, trying to reconcile with James, but being pushed away. Tyler was so focused on trying to be a good brother to Arrow, since her own brother as well as Creed kept threatening her life, even pushing her close to suicide. One time in Florida, Tyler abandoned a mission to go comfort her, which only angered James. The two ended up fighting, though Tyler was not willing initially, until he received a call that his best friend, Trent, was dead. The reports turned out to be untrue, but Tyler was furious, beating down on James, stopping when Arrow began hurting herself. He deeply considered leaving and moving out of the state because of James' unwillingness to work things out with him. He later was relieved to know that Trent was only in a coma.
A sort of final encounter between his extended enemies happened when James was kidnapped by Creed once more and Arrow was kidnapped by AK. The latter in particular sent cruel images of Arrow being tortured, so Tyler arrived furiously, with murderous intent. What he did was perform psychological and visual horror on AK using his speed, confusing him until Tyler managed to save Arrow from AK before beating him to a bloody pulp. He then found AK was in contact with Creed, who was using James' phone, and rescued James as well, who was a little less grateful, but left to kill AK himself, which Tyler did not stop from happening. Tyler left the two alone for the most part following that
==== Final Battle with Emma Frost ====
The Hellfire club stormed the X-Mansion to kill the rest of the X-Men after they all lost their powers, and had a very good edge against them. Tyler in particular was forced into combat against Katherine Pryde, Marcus, and Emma Frost. When fighting Pryde, she took advantage of her phasing abilities to counteract and dodge Tyler's speed, at a point even fusing her arm with his throat to block off his air. However, Tyler used his speed to tear off her arm, but that angered her into phasing them both down into the ground, trying to bring them to the mantle to kill him. Tyler, in response, tried using a latent speedster power of phasing on his own, managing to release her severed arm from his neck as well as ridding himself from her grasp, seemingly leaving her to die as he returned to the surface.
After taking about 20-30 minutes recovering, he returned to the scene, and got caught in battle against Marcus. This battle was particularly tough, because Marcus was able to return Jubilee's powers to her and control her against Tyler, while also restricting his movement telekinetically, so he wasn't able to do much except take the brunt of her powers, burning him up while remaining immobile. Soon enough, Tyler called upon an Ikkon clone of Joseph to deal with Jubilee, but this discouraged Marcus from continuing the attacks in case he needed to fight two fronts, one against a speedster who required all his attention. They continued fighting, Tyler having to throw hit-and-run blows, and even attempted civil conversation and understanding, but it couldn't lead anywhere, so the two ended in stalemate with Tyler breaking several of Marcus' bones and Tyler being overrun by ATP, which tired him out faster than he usually was. He was knocked out from the fight for another half hour, Marcus also being removed from the battle. He did, however, develop a new ability of keeping telepaths out of his head by speeding up his brain faster than human thoughts.
Tyler then got back up once more after healing far enough to fight the biggest battle of his life. Emma Frost, the White Queen. He tried simple speedster tactics against her, and when she tried to remove his powers again, she found it was impossible, which he explained as having "extradimensional access" to them. Nonetheless, Emma fought against speedsters before, so she knew how to keep him at bay, until she did something sinister. She purged memories of Penemue from his mind until he couldn't remember anything about her, including his love. She also made sure to erase memories of him forgetting her. Still, he continued to fight her. She even attempted to trick him with mental illusions of Joseph, but Tyler was too smart. He also saw an apparition of Hank McCoy, asking him to take care of his son, Miguel. Tyler promised before returning to the fight. At around this time, his brother-in-law, James appeared for the battle, and the two had a mutual understanding that Emma needed to be defeated. Luckily, James naturally could not be affected by mind manipulation. As they fought, Emma kept them at bay. Tyler finally resorted to a method he developed but never tested and began running around the world. James thought he was retreating from battle, but Tyler was actually building up momentum. After his third lap around the world, he had gained so much energy in his run that he threw a devastating punch at Emma, who was thrown back through several walls of the building.
He and James pursued her throughout the crumbling building, only for Tyler's body to be temporarily controlled by her mentally, albeit weakened. He pushed back as far as he could with accelerated brain processes, but she could fight back well. Using his speed, Emma made Tyler beat down on James until Tyler was nearly blacked out by James regretfully strangling him. That release was all Tyler needed to push his mind back into control, and took a few minutes to recuperate. Emma attempted to jab her heel into James' injuries in a last-ditch effort, but Tyler stopped her, the pair of men finally reconciling with each other. The two defeated her finally, and Tyler finally made peace with James, becoming family once again.
==== Post-Battle ====
As James took away Emma, Tyler went to his destroyed dorm room to get his phone, and began looking through it. He saw pictures of himself with Penemue, and began remembering her. He weakly stumbled outside the school, trying to contact her. When he succeeded, the two reunited finally, and went home so he could explain everything to her. He also learned alongside Arrow that Jonathan, the hybrid clone, was alive.
The X-Men held a funeral for those who died in the battle against Emma. In particular, it gave Tyler the chance to see Professor X and Scott Summers, and Xavier calmed his thoughts, letting him know that Trent was alive and well. Tyler found comfort in this.
Tyler planned his wedding with Penemue, and it was a grand event, although his preferred best man wouldn't be there.
=== Spring Eternal ===
Tyler and Penemue would be married for the ensuing year, and they were expecting a child. However, during the final stages of the third trimester, Penemue was attacked by Marcus, seeking revenge for the attack performed on him by her in Winter Risen. This caused her to go into forced labor, and having heard about it soon after, Tyler was infuriated and overcome with PTSD from his final battle against Marcus and Emma Frost, a recurring problem for him throughout the year. He swore to murder Marcus for that (although later he never did). Luckily, his son, Ezra, was born healthy. However, his superior in the Agents of Time, Agent Prime, had abducted him as penance for Tyler's overuse and misuse of his time powers. In addition, Penemue would not biologically be able to give birth ever again as a way to keep Tyler from trying again and circumventing the problem. Tyler was persistent, however, and managed to negotiate that in exchange for more restrictions on his powers, he could keep his son.
Throughout this time, Tyler would focus more on his life at home while still being an active member of the Next-Men. However, not wanting others to experience his pain and trauma, he did want people to second-guess their choices of attempting to become heroes, especially when forming relationships with others, seen with Treyvon Morales-Davis and Rin, Arrow's cousin. This did lead him into conflict with a recently revived Scott, who ridiculed him for bringing up his very real problems too often. Although in the wrong somewhat for his actions, Scott also had hidden paranoia that Tyler was quick to find, and the two ended up splitting paths as they didn't see eye to eye.
Unconfident in his ability to stably act as a hero, Tyler focused on his work as a lawyer and even helped Grey and their mate Delmar sue a pedophilic paparazzi photographer and win the case. He also attempted continuing to help his sister Arrow and her husband James in their endeavors against Victor Creed, but it became so tiring for him that he eventually stopped and was even fed up with James' antics. Nonetheless, when Arrow was under constant attack by a kitsune mutant named Aspen, he managed to keep him in check. However, when Arrow was mutilated by him after a particularly tough day for both of them, he finally snapped and murdered Aspen in cold blood, physically and psychologically tormenting him, utilizing his skills to exploit a weakness in Aspen's healing factor, until savagely snapping his neck with a noose made from his tails.
Eventually, Azazel, Kurt Wagner's father, put into motion his plan to become a demon, killing those off of deals he made as sacrifices for an orb that would assist in a ritual for nigh omnipotence. Part of this was kidnapping Penemue, as the two had encountered each other when she was cursed, and he attempted to sway her to his side, but she, being loyal to Tyler, staved off Azazel, eventually calling Tyler in to help her. [This section is the result of the Big W*nkin' Retcon:] Unfortunately however, he was too late. With a final, "You will be useful to me this way, then..." the red imp pushed Penemue into the orb. Cradling her burnt skeletal remains in his arms, Tyler laments. Grief overcomes him, greater than the heart attack that now wracks his body. He passes away on the spot, his timeline ending short with the other it had intertwined with not so long ago.
His and Penemue's son, Ezra, would live on. Taken in by the staff of Xavier's school, he would later grow up to be an exceptional young man whose reputation as a lawyer far serves well to change the world's views on mutantkind. 
== Powers & Abilities ==
=== Original Powers ===
Powers marked with an asterisk (*) are not mutant abilities
** Temporally-Linked Super Speed - Tyler's original mutant ability (elaborated in the History section) is a strange one. While everything in the universe's speed is measured in distance traveled during a certain time, Tyler travels through time during a certain distance.
** This ability is passive, meaning it is happening in real-time, so even though he appears to be walking like anyone else, he is actually traveling through time every fraction of a second. So, his super-speed actually works by jumping a vast section into the future over a large portion of space. He can perform "traditional" time travel if he runs fast enough, but it is very rare
** Tyler is only capable of traveling to the future for his ability to work. He can't go back into the past, since going in a particular direction cannot be undone. The direction is not negative. This also means that he can't undo anything done in history
** Also, the effects of the future still come onto Tyler. As he goes into the future, he ages, either a little or a lot, depending on how far he goes
** When he realized
*Super Speed - Tyler, having later learned his time powers being separate from his mutant ones at base, has used more traditional super speed, which has resulted in several sub-powers
** Accelerated metabolism - Tyler's body goes through the metabolic process faster than normal individuals, having to eat more food to maintain their energy as well as unintentionally using more energy, even when resting. As such, he cannot get drunk off most concoctions s easily or for as long as normal people
** Enhanced motional acceleration - this is the element where most people associate super speed. He is able to move from place to place or move any and all parts of his body, including his own thoughts, at a higher speed than anybody other than speedsters. He can accelerate to sub-mach speeds in little time
** Accelerated cellular decay and division - Tyler's cells die and grow at an accelerated rate, meaning that he can heal instantaneously from minor wounds (paper cuts, miniscule fractures), while other damage, like large gashes and broken bones, take more time to execute, sometimes a few hours for complete healing, although within a good few minutes (within a 5-20 minute range) he is capable of having usable, albeit less durable injured limbs and body parts.
** Accelerated thought process - Tyler's brain acts more quickly on its own, but he can voluntarily
** Temporal Energy
** Rewind - this ability acts as a way to bring an object back to a state similar to itself in its history. This is primarily used as an application to either Tyler himself or people around him to heal their wounds. He applies it by touch and passes the energy into the person receiving it.
** Fast Forward - it is a sort of opposite to Rewind, forcing an object to progress as it naturally would given its health and condition. Because of this, gashes and wounds would be only "healed" by sealing it up
** Temporal Link - The scar on Tyler's back radiates an incredible amount of temporal energy when disturbed by living, thinking beings, usually by touching it. As a safety precaution, it heats up to a degree that burns to the touch, but persistent individuals or those Tyler holds closely to his heart will be met with a soothing, comfortable warmth. This was first seen when Penemue attempted to inspect the scar, having experienced the burning, but the scar soon got used to her, linking the two together for all time. This means that those who are able to experience the warmth of the scar are permanent constants in each and every timeline. However, due to Penemue being initially rejected, a few changes occurred for both her and Tyler, since she was persistent, detailed below
=== Developed Abilities ===
* Telepathic/Mind Control Resistance - Tyler, after encountering both Marcus and Emma Frost, has developed both a tolerance and resistance towards telepathic communication, mind reading, and mind control. He achieves this by accelerating his own thinking processes to those faster than telepaths, so they cannot get a grasp on information or lock onto his mind as easily as they'd like. However, this only works if he's doing it before they decide to do so. If he decides to do it midway, its success in blocking them out varies depending upon the strength of the telepath themselves.
=== Extra Abilities ===
* Magic - He learned magic from his adoptive father, Joseph Memphist, but is nowhere nearly proficient enough to make use of it in combat, so he usually opts out of employing it
* Martial Arts - Tyler studied Karate and Kung Fu, but never completed the training, so he's not a certified black belt or possessing similar mastery levels in official context
* Legal Expertise - Tyler studies law at the school among his other school subjects at Xavier's, to which point he has become a junior lawyer to a law firm in Westchester
* Phasing - Tyler attempted to vibrate his molecules at super speed to try and phase out of the Earth as well as get rid of an arm in his throat placed by Katherine Pryde during their fight in the multi-part finale of Winter Risen. He succeeded, but the nature at which this was pulled off scared him so intensely that he swore off using the ability ever again.
* Extended Lifespan - Tyler and Penemue's actions regarding his scar caused the two to exchange traits from one another. Penemue gained some of his human traits (which visibly amounted to her just losing her horns) and Tyler gained her lifespan and youthfulness, essentially making it so they both lived the exact same amount of time until they died, which was confirmed by an alternate version of Tyler to be simultaneous.
== Trivia/Amendments ==
* Tyler's continued use of his temporal energy powers initially resulted in his scar bleeding out, but has since been leveled out to lightheadedness and disorientation
*Tyler has met Earth-326's version of Hirohiko Araki and receives monthly gifts from him after talking about Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: Diamond is Unbreakable
*Tyler's schizophrenia (one trait he shares with his father) is the root cause of many incidents ranging from tracking chips to the Agents of Time themselves. The usage of his time travelling abilities only disorientated him further, making him prone to violent outbursts and poor decisions which was shown perhaps at its most extreme when he murdered Aspen with the kitsune's own tails. After some heavy discussion on what was meant to be a lighthearted Nacho Night, Joseph and some of his counterparts took it upon themselves to try and help Tyler stay on the rails. The Joes used their magics to disguise themselves as "Agents of Time", to replace the hallucination-borne "Hands of Time" that plagued Tyler with invasive thoughts. As the "Agents", the Joes for the most part were able to guide Tyler through making not-so-world-ending decisions regarding his manipulation of the timeline. This would include laying off the whole "if someone else has the same powers as me, they're a threat to the timeline" - so at least Scott could catch his breath. 
*Due to his paranoia of protecting his family, Tyler placed tracking technology into them, like Joseph's prosthetic, James' brain (when he was a cyborg), and Aspen's bloodstream. Penemue just has a modification on her phone to let her contact him immediately. This is what allowed him to discover the weakness in Aspen's bloodstream.
*Tyler does not like Delmar because he couldn't control himself and got Grey pregnananent. [Big W*nkin' Retcon]: He attempted to fit Delmar with a chip that would hinder his reproductive functions, but was stopped short by Joseph who was tired of having to remove trackers from himself and the rest of the extended family every so often. The older man talked him out of it, reminding Tyler that the relationship between Delmar and Grey is none of his business. 
*Due to interpersonal conflicts between the participants of the previous roleplays, both Tripper and Tacchetto have been removed from active status in the Rhinoverse, as well as other characters controlled by Power Houz.
