Part of the notion of this one is maybe from a book that's aged like milk: Warren Ellis's
Ultimate Fantastic Four run. Instead of being from the Negative Zone, Annihilus was from the universe below ours...however that works...a universe nearing the heat death Mobius describes. So, Annihilus and his buggos were a little anxious to move up to a dimension that was warm! (That is one of the few things I recall from that run, except for the Ultimate FF being squarely in bed with the military-industrial complex: U-Reed, later the Maker, gets out of trouble by mentioning all the military applications for what he had just discovered, and T-Bolt Ross changes his tune right quick.) One of the last episodes of
Star Trek: Lower Decks also mentions multiversal travel being a wash: in that theory, if you open a hole into another universe, another hole will open somewhere else to balance the equation. (
"Fissure Quest.") Of course, in comics, particularly Marvel comics that maybe try to explain the physics of the impossible, I think sometimes the explanation just leads to more questions.
For instance, I forget where exactly the Time Variance Authority is: it's not at the end of time (that's
Vanishing Point over in the DC universe!) but somewhere outside of it, right? Pretty sure there are rules regarding relative time at the TVA, to keep people from leaving, then returning before they left and creating paradoxes all over the place.

So that’s the reason the TVA wanted her? Huh. I’ll be honest man, that’s definitely not the major big deal type of reason I expected her to be kidnapped for. I’m sure you’ll go into better detail as the story moves along, especially with tantalizing tease of Sat meeting up with Mobius’ Bosses and straightening them out accordingly. But yeah, basically the equivalent of littering or causing global warming on a super small scale. You’d think they’d have bigger threats to worry about 🤷♂️
Like the Mobius said (speaking of, that mustache will haunt my dreams), they’re real sticklers. I still haven’t found that FF Annual, but I think they had a Judge Dredd expy working there and that’s one of his big traits.
Yeah, I had a feeling this wasn’t going to be a big deal. As for the time thing, could be a San Dimas time situation. There was also a Time Twister by Alan Moore where people just hid behind bushes until their alternate time selves left.
