Known Background: Peter McMurphy's love for his wife was eternal. Even after she was killed in the battle between Captain Zero and associates of the Champions of Justice, he continued to pine for her through his days as a super hero and into old age. It is not until several years from present day that a cure for his broken heart was discovered. His long time teammate and confidante Doctor Technon created a suit of armor that was capable of time travel. Defying the wishes of the creator and insistence of his allies, McMurphy stole the armor and traveled back in time to stop her death.

Knowing the cause and effect theories of time travel, he had dedicated himself to trying to only make a minor change by arranging his younger self to take the brunt of the damage. His wife would still be seriously hurt, but she would survive and the timeline would be held together. Instead, all that occurred was that his younger self was able to hold his dying wife and say his final good-byes. While it took a good deal of time, Peter McMurphy was able to eventually move on, bury his wounds and fall in love again.

The timeline as a whole was left in tact, but McMurphy's personal future was shattered. With his own future changed significantly, the man found himself without a future, stranded in the time-stream. His mind (already bordering on the precipice) snapped completely. He eventually concluded that it was not just Captain Zero's fault that his wife died, but also the Champions of Justice. Now, with a new way of bringing back his wife, he has dedicated himself to stopping his former teammates from ever coming together.

Timefire was created and designed by Jim Caswell and Ken Hallaron. He is an NPC.
