SUB-ATRONIC TIME DISPLACER

Classification: Extraterrestrial technology

Creator: Unrevealed

Users/Possessors: Mr. Fantastic (Reed Richards), Uatu the Watcher

First Appearance: Fantastic Four Annual I#3 (1965)

Powers/Abilities/Functions: The Sub-Atronic Time Displacer possesses the ability to transfer people back in time, and rob them of any memories of what had happened after the point of their return.

History: (Fantastic Four Annual I#3 (fb) - BTS) - At some point in the past, Uatu the Watcher acquired the Sub-Atronic Time Displacer under unrevealed circumstances.

(Fantastic Four Annual I#3 / Marvel: Heroes & Legends I#1) - As the Fantastic Four, X-Men, Avengers, S.H.I.E.L.D., Spider-Man and Daredevil battled the villains sent by Dr. Doom's Emotion Charger to assault the Baxter Building on the day of Reed Richards and Susan Storm's wedding, Uatu the Watcher appeared to Reed, and took him to his home on the Moon so that Reed could find a device which would end the conflict.

Although the Watcher was forbidden by his oath to offer assistance, Reed recognized one of Uatu's devices as a Sub-Atronic Time Displacer, and chose it to help end the conflict.

Uatu sent Reed back to Earth with the device, and Reed used it to send all of the villains back in time to a point before the Emotion Charger had affected them, removing all of their memories of the fight; he also used it to wipe Dr. Doom's mind of the event, bringing an end to the struggle.

With the battle concluded, the Sub-Atronic Time Displacer vanished, presumably returning to the Watcher.

Comments: Created by Stan Lee, Jack Kirby and Vince Colletta.
