In the very distant future, the Time Variance Authority (or TVA) was formed with the goal of monitoring realities throughout the multiverse and attempting to keep temporal interference to a minimum.^[1][8] Although the TVA claims responsibility and authority over the entire omniverse, they have continued territorial disputes with Kang the Conqueror and his Kang Dynasty, Alioth, Revelation, Congress of Realities, and the Delubric Consortium.^[6][5][4]

Saving Brooklynopolis[]

After the entire civilization of Brooklynopolis was threatened by a massive Zaniac outbreak occurred during World War VII, the TVA recruited Justice Peace and allowed him to travel back in time and eliminate Zaniac. With the aid of Thor, Justice Peace successfully terminated Zaniac and saved his future.^[9]

Time Trial of She-Hulk[]

When the millionaire Charles Czarkowski was put on trial for attempted murder, he claimed it was in self-defense due to the victim being a time-traveller that a message from the future warned him about. Charles sought representation from Goodman, Lieber, Kurtzberg & Holliway, the law firm where She-Hulk's alter-ego, Jen Walters, worked. Since the case was widely covered by the media and it was near-impossible to find an unbiased jury, GLK&H's head Artie Zix arranged to have the TVA bring people from the near past who were dead in the present at the time of the trial. One of the time-displaced jurors was Clint Barton, the hero known as Hawkeye and a close friend of Walters.^[10] Throughout the trial, Jen attempted to warn Barton about his impending death to no avail. The trial was interrupted when Czarkowski summoned a robot as a distraction to escape. Returning to his workshop, he disguised his appearance and sent his past self a warning. Realizing that he had become the person the message warned him about, Czarkowski attempted to send his past self a second message. He was stopped by Justice Peace, who forced Czarkowski into his time machine on behalf of the TVA so he would be shot by his past self, closing the paradox.

Following the resolution of this case, the TVA arrested Walters for her attempts to warn Hawkeye.^[11] She was brought to a trial presided in part by Mr. Mobius to decide if she was to be erased from existence. She-Hulk saw herself demoralized by a glimpse into a future conflict of cosmic scales called the Reckoning War had sparked because of her, and pleaded guilty. However, the supervillain Clockwise then hijacked the trial and went on a rampage blasting the Retroactive Cannon. After She-Hulk stopped Clockwise, Mobius reconsidered the heroine's guilty plea, and subsequently ruled in her favor after the numerous testimonies of the people that She-Hulk helped beyond superheroics convinced him that removing her from the timeline would endanger the entire continuum. However, since She-Hulk was still guilty of tampering with time, Mobius decided to have one of the TVA's prisoners remanded into her custody as punishment, and she chose Two-Gun Kid.^[12]

Earth-13729[]

At some point in a possible future, the X-Men administered Space Station X, a Sentinel head turned into a monitoring station, and possess aboard it a vault containing time-travel technology, kept untouched under an agreement with the Time Variance Authority, among other organizations. Those organizations were the only ones allowed to authorize entry to the vault. In order to protect the vault, Worthington Industries's Archangel Bots were posted there.^[13]

Gwen Stacy's Vacation[]

Member, Ouroborous began to study Gwen Stacy of Earth-65 and informed Mobius M. Mobius that he believed Gwen to be in danger. Mobius was skeptical and told Ouroborous that he himself looked at her danger scale and saw it was a ".7." and told Ouroborous to get his mind off it and enjoy some cake. At first Ouroborous decided to listen but then decided against it and went and saved Gwen, after doing so Ouroborous and the rest of the TVA decided to help Gwen by temporarily relocating her to Earth-616. The agreement was however that Gwen under no circumstances could use her suit while there, Gwen agreed to this but soon after being on 616 was detected using her suit and Ouroborous was sent to lecture her.^[14][15]
