Linear Men
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Linear Men is a DC Comics team of men and women who police time and work to resolve time paradoxes. They consist of Matthew Ryder a.k.a. Waverider (the leader and founder), Travis O'Connell, Liri Lee, Rayak the Ravager and Rip Hunter. They operate in a base existing during the last possible moment in the universe, the last nano-second before entropy ends everything, called Vanishing Point.
Their name is taken from the premise that after the Crisis on Infinite Earths, time is strictly linear and paradoxes can unravel the sole remaining timeline. Thanks to Rip Hunter, they remain blissfully ignorant of Hypertime.
