There is another simple reason: Once they know that team has “Time Duchess” in their roster, every plan to win against that team would involve taking her out first/setting it up so her powers could not interfere.
It is like Lex Luthor in DC Online beating Superman thanks to Kryptonite. Then loosing to a newcommer player hero, because he was not that powerfull after all.
Or all the villains in Bleach first taking General Yamamoto out of the Picture unless they could out-power him at that time.
This is why the first thing Ozymandis did in the original was to cock-block Dr. Manhattan and his Perfect Precog Powers.
This sort of thing is why prophecies always sound like gibberish and Star Trek’s transporters are blocked by everything this side of saran wrap. Some things just make exciting storytelling impossible.
The evil time-Duchess should be knocked off by future villains so these heroes will have to do things on their own. And thus become the heroes of exciting stories.
Does bring up the question of different timelines, and does she bring back all the “heroes” or just herself? Does she leave the others in a doomed world?

Stay-Puft Spotmallow Man’s power is inducing exposition. You know, to fill in the holes.
Best Watchmen parody ever! They even have a watch-woman!
I like Ghost Rorshach! Very ominous…
Specially since it seems to not being able to talk at all. Rorschach was a very talky guy.
Or it’s stained sheet man…
Good thing they’re not brown spots, then…
watch-women, did’nt even noticed that. Thanks :)
no giant blue man with giant blue penis dingling around!
In this parody, he’s tiny and red and Time Duchess is carrying him around in her left hand.
Well timed, heroes…well timed indeed.
Next time Clock/Timekeeper/Guard/Patrol/Whatever men, Next time!

Which is probably why time dutchess is hiding in the bushes, hiding her involvement so villains do not start to plan around her.
Who else got a kind of Batman’s 60’s show vibe with that villain?

I assume this is based on their former teamname “Minuteman”?
