Father Time is the commander of the Super Human Advanced Defense Executive (S.H.A.D.E.), a counter-disaster organization.
History
He possesses the power to be reborn in a new body on New Year's Day to accompany the new year. With the dawn of a new year, Father Time has changed. While still in control of S.H.A.D.E and still operating under the same name, his appearance is now that of a Japanese elementary schoolgirl, complete with a "sailor fuku" uniform. However, he has lost none of his guile and commanding presence.[1]
