In the Marvel Cinematic Universe (Earth-199999):

Professor X? Magneto? Wolverine?

What kind of nonsensical names are these? No, wait, they should be nicknames.

Tony couldn't help but silently complain. At this time, the playboy hadn't been kidnapped or become Iron Man yet. The era of Marvel superheroes hadn't begun, and heroes with flashy nicknames weren't as widespread as they would later become.

So, to Tony and Pepper, these names sounded both ridiculous and mock-worthy.

"These people are all quite old, two of them even seniors. Are they still in their teenage phase?"

However, Tony and Pepper quickly set aside their mockery, turning instead to expressions of sheer astonishment.

"Time travel?"

"I always thought that was just a plot device in sci-fi movies."

"Is it really possible for someone to do that in real life?" Pepper couldn't help but voice her surprise. Time travel—such a fantastical concept. She never expected it to become reality in a parallel universe.

"Jarvis, can you find any information on these people?" Tony immediately asked Jarvis.

Jarvis promptly began searching for information on Professor X, Magneto, and Wolverine.

"Sir, no matching records found."

So, these people didn't exist in their world, but rather only in other parallel universes.

**Kamar-Taj:**

The Ancient One and Wong were gathered together, seriously watching the video playing on the large screen.

About half an hour ago, while Wong was sorting books in the library, a strange screen had suddenly appeared before him.

Despite Wong's seemingly mediocre portrayal in the movies, he was actually one of the more powerful figures in Kamar-Taj. Otherwise, how could he have become the new Sorcerer Supreme after Doctor Strange's disappearance?

Yet, Wong couldn't understand what this screen was or how it worked. It wasn't any form of magic he was familiar with. Completely at a loss, he sought out the Ancient One for answers.

To his surprise, he found that the Ancient One also had the same screen and didn't know what it was either.

However, since the screen only played videos and wasn't harmful or aggressive, the Ancient One and Wong decided to watch the videos together, hoping to glean some clues.

"That girl can send people back in time? And she's not even a sorcerer!" Wong was astounded. Even the Ancient One needed the Time Stone to achieve time travel, yet this girl managed it without any mystical aid.

"Yes, she's not a sorcerer," the Ancient One replied calmly, much more composed than Wong. "But time travel isn't exclusive to sorcerers. Technology or other mysterious power systems can also accomplish it."

After all, even in their world, the Avengers managed to time travel in the future, something the Ancient One had foreseen using the Time Stone.

"You're right, it's just hard for me to accept," Wong sighed, then adjusted his demeanor and asked the Ancient One, "Have you deduced anything about this screen?"

"These videos come from numerous different dimensions, including our own," the Ancient One said after a brief contemplation.

The video had mentioned that the girl sent Wolverine back to 1973, a time when the Ancient One had already possessed the Time Stone and was constantly monitoring the future. If someone had traveled back in time, any slight change would alter the timeline, something the Ancient One would have noticed.

Given that she had never seen such changes, it indicated that this latest video must be from another dimension.

**In the DC Extended Universe:**

"Cool!"

"This is really cool!"

"She can send others back in time too."

Barry Allen, working at a pet shop, expressed high admiration for Kitty Pryde, even feeling a sense of camaraderie. He realized he wasn't the only one capable of time travel.

Unlike Barry, who relied on the Speed Force and needed to run at super speed to travel through time, the girl seemed to use the light emitted from her hands.

This made her superior in Barry's eyes since he could only travel through time alone. Regular humans couldn't endure the super speeds required for time travel.

"Mind-reading is cool too," Barry said, then shrugged, "though it'd be creepy to have a friend like that."

The bald old man seemed kind and friendly, but the thought of someone constantly reading his mind was unsettling. Barry guessed that even if the guy was a good person, he probably didn't have many friends.

"Barry, I'm not paying you to daydream," came the voice of the pet shop owner, showing his displeasure.

"Sorry, Mr. Anderson," Barry quickly responded and resumed his work.
