The Time Trapper
The Time Trapper is a powerful master of temporal manipulation and energy and a particular menace to the 30th century era of the Legion of Super-Heroes. First asserting himself behind the scenes, he erects an Iron Curtain of Time that prevents even the most powerful Legionnaires from traveling to their future (Adv No. 317, Feb 1964: "The Menace of Dream Girl!") - and later blocks Superboy and Brainiac 5 from returning back to the Legion's time.
Assisted by Glorith, the Time Trapper is finally defeated when his plan to devolve the Legion into protoplasmic slime goes awry, and instead, the Legionnaires become infant versions of themselves and wreck his machinery (Adv No. 338, Nov 1965: "The Menace of the Sinister Super Babies!").
It is later revealed that the Time Trapper is actually a member of an advanced race known as the Controllers and it is documented (see The Legion of Super-Heroes No. 291, Sep 1982: "A Sign of Darkness Dawning") that he is rendered powerless during a sinister plan of Darkseid.
