Timebreakers

The Timebreakers were an advanced race of insect-like beings, split among the grasshopper-like Sovereign Caste and beetle-like Worker Caste, who came upon the Panoptichron. They had accidentally damaged many realities across the Multiverse and they tricked many heroes from different realities into fixing their mistake, forming the Exiles and Weapon X teams. They created the Timebroker to communicate with them and fabricated a lie to hide the real reason why realities were broken. The truth was revealed when they were conquered by Hyperion and saved by the Exiles, who relunctantly agreed to help fix the rest of the damage.^[2]

None.

According to Hyperion, the Timebreakers are "genetically nonviolent" and cannot hurt other living things even if they want to.^[3]

Advanced. They discovered the Panoptichron and learned how to use it to travel to and oversee other realities. However, they did not completely understand the technology and accidentally broke the Multiverse.^[3] If forced to, they could weaponize the Panoptichron by intentionally destablizing the Multiverse and causing universes to collide.^[1] After the equipment in the Panoptichron Observatory was damaged, they began repairing it but admitted that they were guessing as they did not create it.^[4]

• The name "Timebreakers" came from the Celestials, who apparently knew that these beings were the ones behind the broken realities. The Celestials had telepathetically warned Blink that she and the Exiles were being tricked when she encountered them on one of her missions; after learning the truth, she recounted the word "Timebreaker" from the Celestials and Hyperion thought it was a perfect name.^[5][3]
