Missing Moment
The Missing Moment refers to a flaw in the structure of time inadvertently created by Reed Richards when recreating the multiverse.[1] It is a single second that cannot be reached by any form of conventional time travel. Even Kang the Conqueror, master of temporal mechanics, was unable to access it.[2]
Kang described the Missing Moment as his "Grail," the ultimate prize hidden beyond the Tribulation Events.[2] Despite spending a year attempting to find it, he admitted he had made no progress. The anomaly was later revealed to be not only lost time but also a gateway a flaw in the universe that led from this cosmos into the next.[1] Myrddin and the Twilight Court opposed Kang's quest for the Moment, believing it was beyond his reach and claiming dominion over it themselves.[2] Their conflict over the anomaly escalated into open rivalry, with Myrddin intending to use it as a weapon to erase Kang's legacy and replace it with his own.[3]
