One more for tonight though I really only have a name: Escapement
This would be some kind of time powers, or clockwork-based super-invention possibly including time powers in his signature gadget, but aside from the old standbys of Haste and Time Stop I can't come up with a suitable time power that isn't also an instant ticket to A- or S-rank in the threat list. At the same time, it's such a great alias that I pretty much have to use that if I do a supers story sometime soon.
Maybe Time Turner level time travel with full Blinovich Limitation Effect in force? (I.E. you can't change anything, and if you try you just find yourself becoming the cause, because anything you do in the past already happened before you left to do it.) It allows for incontovertible aliases (I was onstage shaking the President's hand on live worldwide television, of course I wasn't here!) and making the getaway before you commit a crime, so that would fit in, but again, kind of too powerful for a B-list guy. Probably better to stick with Haste/Time Stop and Stasis, like that one episode of BtAS. Though as Kamen Rider Kabuto could tell you, Clock-Up is a pretty serious superpower...
With the ability to build devices that work like time turners (just a few times, then they break and only he can repair or replace them) the Typical Takedown might be filled by handing over his confiscated equipment to the capturing officer/hero, who then uses them to go back in time and make the cop on the "escaping before a crime was committed" version, MiBs then arrive and re-confiscate the device, if it hasn't broken already, forNefarious Government Projects or whatever. Heroes have a tendency to accidentally or "accidentally" break the thing before that can happen most of the time anyway, the sanctimonious pricks.
