Jack Watt (Timeline)

Sir Jack Watt, the Timeline, is a famous and acclaimed non-powered hero from the alternate future known as the Ecopalypse. He is the founder of the Watt Foundation, grandson of superhero and villain Hector Watt, killer of supervillain Grimskull, and eternal enemy of the supervillain Ape-X. Jack Watt additionally is Co-Chief Executive Officer of Armored Core alongside Scott Tetherman and creator of Watt Ranch and the Future Museum.

**History**

Jack Watt was born approximately 2060 in the Ecopalypse timeline. After the death of his only remaining close family, his father, Jack Watt joined an extremist terrorist cell looking for drastic measures to destroy Ape-X and end the survival of the fittest reign of terror. Being the grandson of League member Hector Watt and having a general lack of fear and situational understanding, Jack was selected for a highly risky mission. Assisting this decision was Jack's savant-like, if inexplicable technical ability. He was outfitted with the best surviving technology and sent backwards in time to stop Grimskull, and subsequently the rise of Ape-X.

Jack Watt entered the contemporary timeline at the age of 35. He became a member of the League and assisted in the defeat of Grimskull in the Battle of Florida. He is popularly known for killing (the largely incapacitated) Grimskull with a grenade launcher.

Jack Watt, with Scott, became Co-Chief Executive Officer of Armored Core. This essentially is a successor to World Mission, seeking to bring order to the world and reinstate normalcy. With the temporary loss of superpowers, Armored Core was principally operated through technology - hence the primary role of Scott in this organisation. Jack Watt followed a more public-oriented role, due to his popularity.

Jack Watt subsequently was involved in incursions back to the future, looking to liberate the remaining Ecopalypse timeline and destroy the risk of Ape-X entering any other timeline. These missions were largely unsuccessful, resulting in Jack Watt first nearly dying in the tests of time transportation technology, entering the future without his suit and being captured by Ape-X, and being critically injured and losing his right hand in a second, larger-scale incursion into the Ecopalypse several months later. Immediately following the latter, President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama were present for the return of the incursion force, knighting Jack Watt shortly before he passed out from blood loss.

**Powers**

Non-powered.

*The Timeline Suit:*

Jack Watt was sent backwards in time with a retrofitted version of Scott's armoured suit. The Timeline version of this suit was less durable (less toughness) but with a greater emphasis on mitigating damage penetration (imperviousness). The suit augmented Jack's strength less than Scott's version of the suit. It allowed several movement options (flight 4 ranks, aquatic turbines 4 ranks). The suit also included the RX sensor, which allowed the detection of powers.

The primary (though not only) offencive means of the suit were a grenade launcher, outfitted with fragmentation, flashbang, smoke, tear and sleep grenades, and the RXI (RX Genome Inhibitor).The RXI allows the short-term diminishment of powers, and is fired through a 30ft range beam.

The Timeline suit was badly damaged in the events of Crossover episode 3, acting as a catalyst for developing alternative devices and suits for Jack Watt.
