Future possible timelines for each individual universe seemingly spawn myriad variations of each Earth, similar to the Multiverse itself. Those who manipulate and master these temporal probabilities can cause drastic changes to occur. Among those who've attempted this was the Father Time of Earths One and Two.
On Earth-Two, an unidentified elderly gentleman apparently harnessed chrono- energies within a scythe he wielded, which could revert objects to earlier or latter forms within the timestream. Despite this awesome power at his fingertips, this Father Time lacked imagination and simply used this for simple thefts. Although having a dramatic edge against his masked opponent the Wildcat, he was defeated when the two clashed.
On Earth-One, another version of Father Time appeared, this one posing a significant threat to Superman! A Green Lantern from a thousand years in the future disguised himself as the villainous Father Time*, and sent Superman into his era but in the Great Disaster timeline. Battling a future champion with powers like his, Superman and his foe unleashed enough energy to revert the timelines into two unique futures.
It was revealed by "Father Time" that the evil Time Trapper* manipulated energy from the future Green Lantern Corps in order to eliminate the 30th century prime timeline, thereby erasing from existence his old enemies the Legion of Super-Heroes. With that future now restored, it once more became the Earth-One unaffected by either the Great Disaster of Earth-AD or the Crisis on Infinite Earths, both of which occurred in two distinct futures.
* Time Trapper's Earth-Two counterpart, Doctor Doome, had ventured into the future following his defeat at the hands of Law's Legionnaires, and used his time machine to escape capture. It is possible that Doome's influence somehow created the branching future timeline of Earth-Two-A.
