Biography[]
Doctor Tyme was said to have traveled through time, appeared in each and every age of human history, and used the substance known as "continuim" to its full potential after successfully developing the technology to do so. He eventually turned his head into a clock and developed a specific fascination with and fixation on the 1980s because of their Disco, music, and culture. Tyme adopted the moniker "Doctor Tyme" while traveling and developed a love for Rita Farr, a well-known actress.
Despite being left undefined, Doctor Tyme's adventures were proven to have given him considerable notoriety. People from many different eras and time periods who heard about his use of continuity and wanted it for themselves were seen to have been drawn to his pocket dimension and ended up being imprisoned in Tyme's disco skate ring instead.
The Chief sent Cliff, Rita, and Jane on a mission to find and remove a mineral called "continuium" from a "pocket dimension" occupied by Dr. Jonathan Tyme because The Chief was in desperate need of it. The Doom Patrol was told to take off Dr. Tyme's "helmet" in order to get the continuium because they thought it was within. Cliff and Jane are struck by time blasts from Dr. Tyme's clock head and get stuck in time during a brief altercation between the team and Dr. Tyme. Dr. Tyme's head is broken into bits as Rita throws him to the ground while holding his helmet tightly in her hands (unaware that the "clock helmet" was his physiological head and not an actual helmet). Without a user to control its time powers, the "helmet" begins to fire lasers in all directions. Rita is stricken with grief and remorse as she watches in horror as Dr. Tyme's organs pour from the back of his head. Rita turns the clockhand on his helmet counterclockwise in an effort to resuscitate him, and time in the pocket dimension begins to reverse all of a sudden. Dr. Tyme is revived when time begins to go backwards and his brain material is moved from the floor back into his clockhead. He immediately regains awareness and transforms back into his previous self, forcefully grabbing Rita's wrist to prevent her from adjusting his clock-face-hands. Dr. Tyme teleports her team back to the manor without the mineral after telling her that he is offended by their rude behavior and that they are "out of the party."
Personality[]
Dr. Johnathan Tyme is an avid fan of disco music and décor. He even went so far as to create a never-ending "disco dimension" based on "August 8th, 1980 in a roller-disco off I-95" with the song "Donna Summers - Bad Girls" playing on an endless loop. Dr. Tyme describes this as "when humanity peaked" after traveling to numerous historical periods. He also seems to be somewhat sadistic, not caring wether the people who travel to his dimension are imprisoned there forever.
Trivia[]
