Tick Tock helped Locksmith capture villains and keep them in Locksmith's jails. In their prison was Tigra, Poltergeist, Flying Tiger, Angar the Screamer, Killer Shrike, Gypsy Moth, Needle, Tatterdemalion, The Werewolf, Daddy Longlegs, Nekra, The Enforcer, Hangman and Dansen Macabre. Tick Tock also helped capture Spider-Woman. Tick Tock used his power to stop breakouts. Tick-Tock didn't see Spider-Woman switching costumes with Gypsy Moth and escape. Spider-Woman helped everyone escape and Tick Tock went to jail.

The Night Shift

Tick Tock was seen later in the Shroud's Night Shift. They went up against the Power Broker with Captain America. Tick Tock was crucial in getting them past the guards seeing their next movement. He helped Captain America and the Shroud watch over the guards they captured while the rest go in the building. Tick Tock got away with the Night Shift.

Tick Tock joined the Night Shift again when they attacked the West Coast Avengers. He helped predict when Vision would turn solid and defeated him. By selling some of his soul to Satannish, Tick Tock gained powers to slow down time around certain areas. Though Doctor Strange eventually saved Tick's sole, he lost the augmented abilities. It is assumed his remaining powers eventually left him on M-Day when most mutants were depowered by the Scarlet Witch. He has certainly not been seen since M-Day, and it appears he left the Night Shift.

Tick Tock would reunite with the Night Shift when they are hired by Snapdragon to eliminate Moon Knight and Echo in Los Angeles. Tick Tock and the Night Shift fail to kill Moon Knight which would lead to their ultimate demise. Tick Tock and the Night Shift would be confronted by the new West Coast Kingpin, Count Nefaria where he incinerates them for being so incompetent and moronically stupid.

Powers and Abilities

Tick Tock could see all possible futures for the upcoming minute. He could also affect the probability of which one would occur. During the time he had sold his soul, he gained the addition ability to freeze time. However he lost this ability once he regained his life. While not confirmed, it is assumed he lost his powers on M-Day.
