Sign in to edit
You may be looking for the TVA Agent also named Mobius.

The Honorable Mr. Mobius "Moby" M. Mobius was originally a member of the Time Variance Authority's junior management, and through meticulous attention to detail, he was promoted to the position of executive in senior management.[1][2]

History

After the numerous cross-time adventures of the Fantastic Four attracted the attention of the TVA, Mr. Mobius M. Mobius reported that they have been remanded to the custody of their local timeline pending a personal appearance before the TVA board, that regional temporal disruptions have been repaired, and that all powers have been restored at the local level. One of the Chronomonitors pointed out that none of those events would have happened if Mobius' department had been paying attention.[3]

The Fantastic Four[]

When the Fantastic Four were apprehended by the TVA and were being prosecuted for illegal time use, continuity theft, and other various charge, Reed Richards was able to convince one of the senior administrators of the Time Variance Authority to allow them on a tour of the TVA's operations. Mr. Mobius took them on a tour before placing them back into their void prison cell. Sue Storm turned invisible in order to trick the Minutemen into thinking that she had managed to escape. When they opened the cell, the Fantastic Four escaped and caused havoc throughout the TVA offices until Mobius and the Minutemen caught up to them.[1] Mobius ordered his Minutemen to destroy the Thing and Human Torch, but Reed and Sue accessed a TVA work station and inserted a virus into the TVA's mainframe which began splitting the timeline of the TVA itself. They Fantastic Four managed to escape aboard the Cross-Time Central Express Railroad, and Reed Richards informed others that his computer virus erased all reference to their reality from the TVA's databanks.[4]

The file deleted by Richards was eventually noted to be missing during a quality scan. Mr. Alternity ordered Mobius, now the Senior Executive Middle Manager, to find and replace it under a threat of demotion. Accompanied by Justice Love, Mobius went to Earth-616 and abducted the Fantastic Four, who now included Scott Lang as Richards was missing and presumed dead. Mobius and Love failed to notice that Ant-Man had shrunk down and has hitched a ride on Justice Love. Johnny, Sue and Ben found themselves in a null-void cell, and Sue was pulled out of the room and brought into the office of Mobius who demanded the missing data. With her husband missing, she asked for Mobius' help in finding him in order to recover the data. Mobius was unable to help as he could not track Reed Richards because of the erased the data, and Sue managed to ambush him and escape his office. Mobius summoned Justices to find her. Justices Might, Truth, and Liberty responded, and Mobius teleported down to the holding cell to interrogate Ben and Johnny.[2]

With the help of Ant-Man, Sue knocked out the the three Justices, and stole two of their uniforms. As Mobius continued his interrogation, Sue and Scott returned to the cell, pretending that they captured an "invisible Sue Richards" in order to get the drop on Mobius. Holding their captor at gun point, they learned of Mobius' plight and convinced him to try and find a better paying job at a rival time authority. Never realizing that this was an option, Mobius decides to give a try and took them on a Cross-Time Train to Chronopolis. At a private audience with Kang, Mobius received a generous job offer. Growing bored, Kang then teleported the Fantastic Four back to Central Park in their own era. Mobius went to Mister Alternity and informed him that the Kang Dynasty had made him a better offer. He suggested to Alternity that if he wanted Mobius to say he should promote him, meet Kang's benefits package, and remove him from the job of finding the missing data. Alternity has no choice but to accept, and soon Mr. Tesseract was given the job previous held by Mr. Mobius.[2]

Later, Mobius called Reed Richards directly to explain to him that due to the missing eight minutes of time, time anomalies were popping up all over the globe and asked the Fantastic Four to help.[5] The Fantastic Four defeated Ramades, allowing the Time Variance Authority to trap him in an infinite loop of the missing eight minutes. With Ramades defeated, Mr. Mobius and Mr. Alternity were able to reset the time-stream of Earth-616 so that the invasion of Ramades never happened and instead diverged into Earth-50415.[6]

The Trial of She-Hulk[]

When She-Hulk was put on trial by the TVA for attempting to warn a time-displaced version of Hawkeye of his looming death, Mr. Mobius was one of the presiding judges. He was also the only judge to survive when chaos broke out after the villain Clockwise hijacked the trial and went on a rampage blasting the Retroactive Cannon. After She-Hulk stopped Clockwise, Mobius reconsidered the heroine's guilty plea, and subsequently ruled in her favor after the numerous testimonies of the people that She-Hulk helped beyond superheroics convinced him that removing her from the timeline would endanger the entire continuum. However, since She-Hulk was still guilty of tampering with time, Mobius decided to have one of the TVA's prisoners remanded into her custody as punishment, and she chose Two-Gun Kid.[7]

Notes

  • In the classic comics, Mobius is depicted as TVA manager and later judge, his origin being that of a clone in a sea of identical-looking colleagues. Marvel Cinematic Universe television series Loki would go on to depict Mobius as an agent and later analyst, his origin being a Variant of a jetski salesman named Don.
  • After the conclusion of the TV series, comics such as Web of Spider-Man (Vol. 3) #1 and Venom War: Deadpool #3 started depicting Mobius as grey-haired, matching Owen Wilson's portrayal in the show. Originally this was assumed to be another example of synergy with adaptation media, until the TVA comic series that followed revealed itself to be a direct sequel to the TV series. Until further explanation, recent appearances of Mobius in the comics are treated as belonging to the version from the TV series.
