... of making sure 2020 *stays* gone after today?  🙂

 

My vote - Gravity Control. Simply because it has Singularity. As we know, singularities (black holes) have an extreme effect on time and space nearby, and I'm all for tossing this past year into one!

Stormie.  Lightning Storm will zap it if it gets back up.

2020 will  still be accessible from Ouroboros... and I wouldn't be  surprised if some villains took advantage of that to unleash hell on the future.

Empathy.

 

What we need is a whole lot of Empathy.

One of the theoretically possible models of time travel is to link two singularities via an Einstein-Rosen bridge, then move one of the singularities.  Doing this should allow travel into the past, through the wormhole.  Thus, in theory, it's possible for your method to have the opposite effect, to create a temporal loop, continually sending us back to 2020, if it should happen that a second singularity were connected to yours.

 

It would be 2020... forever.

Well I'm sorry to get all serious about this, but it's Empathy. People who ignore advice about mask-wearing, social gatherings, and travel are all making the pandemic much worse, simply because they lack empathy for the suffering of of those affected by the virus they're helping to spread. By the same token, those in positions of power who use that power to enrich themselves and their cliques rather than society as a whole are also suffering from a lack of empathy. As one Tweet put it rather succinctly:

I think Kinetics. We Siphon Speed off 2020 and use it to run far far away from it. Alternatively we Fulcrum Shift off a whole mob of 2020 and nuke it.

One of my villain SGs did the 'Rescue Baby New Year' event, except we RP'd it as 'Kidnapping Baby New Year.'

 

We are currently holding 2021 hostage, with threats to make 2020 last longer unless the ransom is paid.

 

The only power that will move us is MONEY.

I have a villain named 2020 (the evil opposite of Baby New Year for that year) that will be happy to hear that... as long as the ransom isn't paid.

Surprised nobody's mentioned Time or Temporal Manipulation. Using Time Shift to create a warp around 2020 that prevents any time travel to or from that period.

Everybody head to Warburg and stock up on nukes.  Then we'll nuke the year from orbit.  It's the only way to be sure.

I have some ideas for a solution to this, however, I’m certain that most of you wouldn’t like them.
