"Story is not written, scholar-- and neither is destiny! History is made! Made by the deeds of the strong! The brave! And destiny is forged! The historians, the students, the gray-beards-- they come in the wake of the strong and write down what the brave have done! But it is the conquerors who change the world!"
– Nathaniel Richards

A time-travelling tyrant from the far future, going around trying to conquer other time periods and timelines with his advanced technology and knowledge. He even had a stint as an ancient egyptian pharaoh. His origin is that he was born as Nathaniel Richards in the 30th century of an alternate universe that had no Dark Age period, though as a time-traveller, his chronology from there can be rather convoluted. He may be descended from Mr. Fantastic and/or Doctor Doom.
