Comment(s):
- When Tim agrees to let Barbatos have the memory of how he made the Other (whom he had transferred his magic to) he hides his soul in the memory and Barbatos ends up absorbing it as well. While still connected to the magic Tim creates an alternate world where his soulless body guided by Barbatos lives on to become the Tim Hunter of 2012 (first seen in issue #5)
- Forty years after Tim's body dies (Seen in issue #20) his soul reawakens and takes over Barbatos body for long periods of time. Barbatos goes back in time to the moment he absorbed Tim's memory to stop it from happening but instead Tim's soul takes full control of his body, which he uses to create a new body for himself, eradicating every element of Barbatos from that body.
