Time Sticks are devices used by the Time Variance Authority to prune individuals from the timeline.
History[]
Loki[]
"The Nexus Event"[]
On Ravonna Renslayer's orders, Hunter D-90 used a Time Stick to prune Mobius M. Mobius.
Later, during a fight with TVA agents, Loki and Sylvie used the blades on stolen Time Sticks to kill their opponents before Sylvie used hers to decapitate one of the Time Keepers, revealing them to be mindless androids. Ravonna then used one to prune Loki, sending him to the Void at the End of Time, but Sylvie was able to disarm her and turn it on Ravonna. However, Sylvie chose not to prune Ravonna in favor of getting answers from her instead.
"Journey Into Mystery"[]
After being cornered by TVA agents, Sylvie used a Time Stick to prune herself in order to find Loki, sending herself to the Void where she found Mobius and Loki. Before going after Alioth, Sylvie gave Mobius a TemPad that she had brought with her, allowing him to return to the TVA through a Time Door.
"Ouroboros"[]
After returning from the past, Loki used a Time Stick snatched from Hunter X-05 to burn away a mural in the War Room and reveal a hidden statue of He Who Remains.
O.B. revealed that, in order to resynch Loki from his time slipping, he would have to prune himself using a Time Stick after Mobius deployed a Temporal Aura Extractor into the Temporal Loom. Although O.B. provided Loki with a Time Stick, it got left behind when Loki suddenly slipped into the future.
In the future, Loki frantically searched for a Time Stick in a TVA that was being evacuated as the Temporal Loom reached critical. Loki was unable to find one, but he was suddenly pruned from behind with a Time Stick by an unknown individual after a brief encounter with a future version of Sylvie. This allowed the Extractor to pull Loki out of the time stream just in time.
"Breaking Brad"[]
While trying to stop General Dox's forces from pruning all of the new branches, Loki and Mobius armed themselves with Time Sticks. At one point, Mobius used his to prune some of the TemPads being used by Dox's forces while Loki flung his into a Minuteman who was about to escape through a Time Door, pruning him.
"1893"[]
Based on the TVA Handbook, Victor Timely created his own version of the Time Stick which was much larger and bulkier due to being created using 19th century technology. After Victor rebelled against her plans for him, Ravonna Renslayer tried to prune Victor with his own Time Stick, but she was interrupted by Loki and Mobius and then blasted off of her feet by Sylvie.
"Heart of the TVA"[]
Brad Wolfe used a Time Stick to prune Hunter D-90 after joining forces with Ravonna Renslayer and Miss Minutes.
Later, as the Temporal Loom reached critical, Loki encountered his time slipping past self and pruned him with a Time Stick, revealing that it was actually Loki's own future self who had pruned the God of Mischief while he was time slipping. Later, under Sylvie's mind control, Brad used a Time Stick to prune Renslayer.
Deadpool & Wolverine[]
The TVA Hunters who ambushed Deadpool at Logan's grave used Time Sticks. At one point, Deadpool pruned a Hunter with his own Time Stick.
After Deadpool returned to the TVA with a Wolverine variant, Paradox pruned them both with a Time Stick.
Capabilities[]
The Time Sticks serve as the primary weapon of TVA agents and are carried on their uniforms. One end deploys a blade for a combat while the other end, when activated, can be used to prune an individual from the timeline. When touched to an inanimate surface, the activated Time Stick can be used to prune it as well. Pruned objects and people are sent to the Void at the End of Time which they can return from by using a TemPad and a Time Door.
The Time Stick appears to be tied to the current time period that it's in. When Sylvie pruned herself and Loki time slipped into the future, the Time Sticks that they were holding fell to the ground rather than going through time with them.
