Added DiffLines:

* GlamourFailure: Ank uses a [[PerceptionFilter Zelig device]], just like Neela, which makes her look like a heavy-set human to Faith when they first meet and bystanders. However, because Ank is also roughly 10 feet tall, she still stands out since the Zelig can't mask her height.


Added DiffLines:

* SerialEscalation: Neela's attempts to stop the time-destroying event. First she tries to just bring Faith, which fails. For the second attempt, she also gets Faith to bring along the other [[ComicBook/{{Harbinger}} Renegades]], which fails. The third time she and Faith [[spoiler:recruit not just the Renegades, but all the other heroes of the Valiant universe from the present day and the 41st century, which also ends up not being enough]].

''Faith and the Future Force'' is a 2017 4-issue Creator/{{Valiant|Comics}} comic book limited series written by Creator/JodyHouser.

When Neela, Timewalker discovers a threat against the entirety of the time-space continuum, she recruits [[ComicBook/FaithValiantComics Faith Herbert]], a.k.a. Zephyr, a.k.a. Summer Smith, who is sticking to her civilian identity since Zephyr has been framed for murder in the events of her own series, to help her stop it.

The title is a reference to a part of the original ''ComicBook/{{Rai}}'' book, which was retitled ''Rai and the Future Force'' after the events of the Unity crossover, which featured the death of the original Rai.

!!Tropes
* BoringButPractical: The robot has a very clunky design, but is powerful enough to destroy time and space bit by bit and [[spoiler:fight and kill the heroes over and over]].
* CrisisCrossover: Downplayed in that the team eventually comes to include almost all of the heroes in the Valiant line at the time, but we only really follow Faith, Neela and Ank and the rest [[spoiler:keep getting killed by the robot]].
* CruelMercy: [[spoiler:Chris Chriswell points out to the robot that it has seen how much humanity suffers through time and convinces it that letting it live to suffer it is a better revenge that wiping them out]].
* DecoyProtagonist: While Faith is the title character, the one who most drives the plot is Neela, who recruits her first and [[spoiler:keeps retrying when the group's attempts fail]].
* EnemyMine: [[spoiler:In the group's third attempt, rather than recruit all the Valiant heroes again for another slaughter, Faith gets the idea to recruit a young Chris Chriswell and convince him that he and the robot are in a movie and that he's playing a supervillain trying to trick him into giving up his plan]].
* RunningGag: Neela, an actual time traveler, really doesn't like ''Series/DoctorWho'' and gets mildly annoyed whenever Faith references it.
* ShoutOut: The robot sometimes quotes classic sci-fi movies and TV, like [[Franchise/{{Terminator}} "I'll be back"]] and [[Series/RedDwarf "Smoke me a kipper, I'll be back for breakfast"]]
