Dr. Tomorrow

Morgen Tomas (a.k.a. Thomas Morgan)

Like another great hero of Freedom City, Tomas Morgen came from an alternate Earth—one where the Axis powers won World War II. Born in 1971 and raised as a “poster boy” of that long-established Nazi regime, Tomas grew up as the shining hope of his government, the Nationalist States of America. Few who knew him ever learned he was the product of an advanced eugenics program to breed the perfect Aryan.
Tomas was the program’s crowning success: athletic, handsome, brilliant, and “genetically fit” in every way. Fortunately, he was also much smarter than his Nazi creators gave him credit for being. Tomas encountered the underground American Resistance to the Nazis and learned the truth about atrocities his creators committed. He joined the Resistance and helped them to survive against the Nazi commandants of America. In 2002 on his Earth, Tomas led a raid on a Nazi lab and stole an experimental time-travel device, using it to go back into the past to prevent the Axis from winning the war.
Tomas arrived in Freedom City shortly after the attack on Pearl Harbor. He became Thomas Morgan to hide his German background and adopted the code name of Dr. Tomorrow. In this identity, he met with Franklin Roosevelt and convinced the President of the dangers of the Nazis and their plans for the world. Within 24 hours of his arrival back in time, Dr. Tomorrow forged The Liberty League with the president’s blessing to fight the Axis. Of all the Doc’s allies, only FDR, The Centurion, and the Freedom Eagle ever learned his true origin. While some knew he was “from the future,” they believed Doctor Tomorrow was looking to protect that future, rather than change it.
With his tactical and technical skills and physical prowess, Doc led the Allies’ greatest heroes against the Axis powers. Doctor Tomorrow also fought a “secret war” against Zeitgeist, his opposite number in Nazi Germany, a disembodied scientist from Doc’s future, sent back into the past and inhabiting the body of a mutant gorilla. Zeitgeist sought to prevent the historical changes Doctor Tomorrow tried to make, while tilting history in his own favor.
Eventually, the Allies won the war. Doctor Tomorrow disappeared three days after VJ Day in 1945. Most believed he returned to his future, hoping his actions had changed it for the better. Sadly, he was mistaken.
Although Doc changed history, it wasn’t his history. The time machine shunted him into the past of a parallel universe, or else his interference in the past created a parallel universe. Either way, his present was still dominated by the Axis powers, and he was captured and imprisoned. Fortunately, the Resistance, aided by heroes from early 21st century Freedom City, was able to free Dr. Tomorrow, who turned his inventive genius to overcoming the Nazi war-machine.
Doc gave the Resistance technology able to defeat the enemy’s cyborg tanks and fighter planes. He developed weapons effective against Axis super-soldiers. Rebellion spread, and soon the world was truly on the road to freedom. Dr. Tomorrow also studied the Nazi time travel technology, in hopes of discovering true time travel and a way of changing his world’s past.
His experiments drew the attention of the mysterious Time Keepers. These beings from the end of time opened Dr. Tomorrow’s eyes to the vast complexities of the Timestream and his own involvement with in and charged him with the responsibilities of a Guardian of Time. Having done what he could for his own world, Dr. Tomorrow left it behind in his new time-ship to become a traveler in time and space, guarding the Timestream against those attempting to tamper with it. Sometimes that includes would-be heroes as well as villains, and Doctor Tomorrow has appeared to heroes throughout history to warn them of cosmic catastrophes, including ones they themselves may create, if they attempt to tamper with the forces of time!

Physical Description

Special abilities

Tomas Morgen was genetically engineered for strength, health, coordination, and intellect, and possesses nearideal human levels of ability in those areas. Additionally, Dr. Tomorrow is a natural and charismatic leader and tactician. An intellectual polymath, Dr. Tomorrow is a brilliant scientist, enginer, and linguist. His familiarity with the cutting-edge technology of his home time literally put him decades ahead of the 1940s and now his experiences with the Time Keepers and their vastly more advanced technology puts him centuries (if not millennia) ahead of the 21st century.

Apparel & Accessories

For all of his access to advanced technology, Dr. Tomorrow tends to operate fairly simply. His standard equipment consists of an energy blaster sidearm, a jet-pack, and an automatic, collapsable, transparent environment suit. His Inventive mind allows Doc to whip up other gadgets on an as-needed basis. His most important resource is his time-ship, a vessel capable of traveling to any point in time and shifting “out of phase” to become undetectable and intangible as needed.

Mental characteristics

Intellectual Characteristics

Doctor Tomorrow is a man charged with an important mission: The protection of time itself, and he takes his responsibilities seriously indeed. At least some of Doc’s drive as a Guardian of Time is guilt: He was created to be a symbol of Ayran superiority, but rebelled against his creators and their philosophy. He sought to change history for the better, but was forced to fight his battles in the present when all of his changes proved fruitless in his own time. He now sees himself as older and wiser and protecting the Timestream from the kind of misguided youthful good intentions he had.
Outside of the gravity of his responsibilities, Dr. Tomorrow retains a sense of adventure and wonder for the boundless opportunities afforded by having all of time and space open to him. He enjoys visiting different eras of human history and partaking in the lives of the people living there, to the degree that his work allows. Indeed, it is regular contact with otherwise ordinary people that reminds him of the importance of his work in protecting their history.
