The Hyffons were an ancient race who existed during the Dark Times. At one point, their home world was engulfed in an terrible war. In an attempt to stop the conflict, the Continuity Cap was invented. The cap would allow the user to change a choice or event in their personal past, being able to see the potential outcomes of every different decision. Using the cap, the Hyffons were able to change the political past of their planet, ending the war. However, the cap eventually fell into the wrong hands, leading to so much of their history being changed that they ceased to exist. (COMIC: The Continuity Cap)
