Blackout (TLU)

In the Timeless Universe, Blackout enlisted the help of Caiaphus in taking over the Matoran Universe. He was later drafted into the Alternity by the original Blackout.

Recruitment of Caiaphus
Much of the early life of this Blackout was presumably identical to his OU counterpart, with the major differing factor being that this Blackout was unable to use the Vahi Cube to turn back time and erase the Five Kings Treaty. Because he had no way to rewind time, Blackout found himself unable to conquer the Matoran Universe without inciting the wrath of Malygos and the other members of the Alliance of Five Kings. While wondering how to achieve victory, he discovered a powerful being drifting through interdimensional space, so he brought him through to his universe on the offchance that he could help.

Blackout explained his situation to Caiaphus and requested that he attack the MU to force the Five Kings to take military action. Never one to turn down a chance to cause chaos, Caiaphus obliged, and began a killing spree throughout the MU with the aid of his apprentices. Caiaphus placed several spires of unknown origin on the islands he conquered throughout the universe. Once he had received the attention of the Five Kings, Blackout convinced Caiaphus to retreat to Artidax so that he could destroy their armies with the Icarus weapon located there. When they all arrived on Artidax, the island was destroyed by the Icarus, and Caiaphus was teleported to the Shattered Mirror Universe. With the Five Kings dead, Blackout was free to begin his reign over the MU.

The Alternity
Some time later, back in the Original Universe, Caiaphus obtained the Keruvim and gained a momentary connection to several other universes, including the Timeless Universe. The towers that he had planted on the TLU's various islands beforehand detonated, creating a chain reaction that tore the TLU's Matoran Universe apart. However, TLU Blackout survived the cataclysm, because he had since been abducted by OU Blackout and drafted into the Alternity.

TLU Blackout, along with the other eight Blackouts that made up the Alternity, were then sacrificed by OU Blackout to power the Conduit. They were briefly turned into energy that transformed everyone nearby into hyperdimensional beings, but were soon resurrected as hyperdimensional beings themselves. TLU Blackout sensed the destruction of his home and swore revenge on Caiaphus, firing a huge blast of hyperdimensional lightning at him. Together, the Alternity combined their powers to destroy Caiaphus's new robot body.

Later, TLU Blackout and the Alternity accompanied OU Blackout and his enemies to the Shadows and Fire Dimension. TLU Blackout commented that he recognized their surroundings as the place where all Blackouts were created. OU Blackout then opened a portal to the future that showed the universe at the time of the Pandorica's opening. TLU Blackout watched for a moment, then teleported to Darkmount with the other Blackouts.

In order to restore entropic balance, The Chousin removed everyone's hyperdimensional powers and teleported the members of the Alternity back to their own respective universes.
