Epoch, also known as The Lord of Time, is a comic book fictional character published by DC Comics. He first appeared in "Justice League of America" #10 (March 1962) and was created by writer Gardner Fox and artist Mike Sekowsky.

An immensely powerful being from the year 3786, the Lord of Time attacked the Justice League of America, using his miraculous chrono-cube to peel back the fourth-dimensional veil of time. Since his initial defeat by the JLA, this sinister fugitive from the future has learned to move laterally and diagonally through history, accessing armies and armaments spanning millions of years. He desires nothing less than to conquer space and time.To make sure his bid to rule all reality is successful he is quite capable of ensuring that the JLA have no power to stop him by eliminating their ancestors, erasing them from existence. At some point, the Lord of Time created a frozen moment in history called Timepoint, and he will eventually evolve into a being known as Epoch who desires to master the timestream, changing events to grant him power.

In the original Jla vs Avengers 1980 canceled crossover by George Perez, Epoch and Kang were the main instigators in the plot against the JLA and Avengers [George-Perez.com] . The artwork was reincorporated in a panel of JLA/Avengers #3 to suggest a false timeline made by Krona's time distortions.

Epoch seemingly died in the JLA/WildC.A.T.s crossover. However, he recently returned, once again as the Lord of Time, in the "The Brave and the Bold" series. If this is a version of Epoch from before he died, or if he was somehow resurrected, is not known.

Timepoint

The "Timepoint" is a prison for time traveling superheroes in the DC Universe. Epoch creates the timepoint in order to stop others from creating time fluctuations, in order to rule all of time.
