Description
Who Will Stop the Rain? is a power that has the ability to have some control over time, enabling its user to execute precise temporal maneuvers with strategic finesse. Who Will Stop the Rain? grants the user the ability to designate a specific target, and upon the target's forward movement, it triggers a retrograde time shift, reverting both the user and the target to the state they were in five seconds prior.

Who Will Stop the Rain?'s time rewind is akin to a meticulously calibrated loop, where the selected individuals are bound by a recurring cycle of actions and events. Notably, any entities in close proximity to the user, excluding the target, are inadvertently drawn into the temporal loop as well. However, these secondary participants remain unaware of the loop's repetition and continue their actions without retaining any recollection of prior iterations.

The primary application of Who Will Stop the Rain?'s ability lies in the user's strategic exploitation of the temporal loop. By designating a target, typically an adversary, the user can initiate a combat scenario wherein any forward movement by the chosen target prompts the temporal regression. This perpetual resetting of the confrontation empowers the user to maintain a relentless assault on the designated target, effectively locking them in an endless cycle of combat.

A distinguishing feature of Who Will Stop the Rain? is the user's agency in determining their own involvement in the temporal loop. The user possesses the autonomy to choose whether they themselves are affected by the retrograde time shift. This strategic choice offers a range of tactical advantages, allowing the user to exploit the loop to their advantage.

For instance, should the user of Who Will Stop the Rain? choose to have themselves remain outside the loop, they gain the ability to reposition themselves or alter their approach while the target is ensnared within the temporal cycle. This permits the user to gain a positional advantage and potentially catch the target off guard, effectively turning the tide of the encounter in their favor.

Alternatively, the user of Who Will Stop the Rain? can opt to immerse themselves in the temporal loop alongside the target. This particular application grants the user an opportunity to repeatedly administer physical punishment to the ensnared victim. The user can employ the target as a captive punching bag, delivering a relentless barrage of blows without concern for retaliation.

Despite its formidable capabilities, Who Will Stop the Rain? is not without its vulnerabilities. The temporal manipulation can be circumvented by the designated target through lateral or backward movement. By avoiding forward motion, the victim effectively bypasses the triggering condition, preventing the initiation of the temporal loop.

Additionally, enemies that have powers with the ability to manipulate time themselves, such as stop time, or skip forward through it, have the means to negate the effects of Who Will Stop the Rain?'s temporal manipulation. During instances of temporal stasis induced by a time-stopping power, the loop's progression is temporarily suspended, affording the target a window of opportunity to enact countermeasures or escape the power's influence.
