Background: From the private journal of Samuel Mason
For generations my family has protected this Republic. For every war, one of us has stepped forward to accept the mantle of the Minuteman, using the enchanted clockwork mechanism that allowed us to speed up or slow down time. Ezekiel Mason served as a special agent for General Washington during the Revolutionary War, and Janine Mason served as a scout for the North during the Civil War.

And now, as this nation faces perhaps its greatest test, I have been called to prove myself worthy of this great legacy and have been entrusted with not only the enchanted timepiece. But desperate times call for desperate measures and my brothers feel that even our weapon through the ages will not be enough. Instead of the handheld timepiece we have used in the past, the clockwork mechanism has been built into the chest plate of a might suit of armor, brought back by my order from the far future.

May it prove sufficient to protect this great Republic.

Quote: “I am the Minuteman. I fight for freedom.”

Time Control?
Interesting.
How's that work?

Oops. I actually wasn't trying to be a tease lol.

It's a power that mostly affects initiative, you can move someone else DOWN in the initiative order (my attempt at a balanced version of slow), give yourself and your allies a bonus to initiative, or teleport (which is the Time Stop stunt).
