* Henry from ''Literature/TheTimeTravellersWife'', who gets it worse than a lot of other people mentioned here. Henry suffers from a genetic disease which is eventually named Chrono Displacement Disorder. Like epilepsy, it can initially manifest as a seizure, and be brought on by things like flashing lights, television images, or stress. Unlike epilepsy, the end result is Henry finding himself [[CantTakeAnythingWithYou completely naked]] in an unknown time in a place he's likely (but not guaranteed) to have been before. [[spoiler: And since it's a genetic disease, Henry manages to pass it to his daughter Alba. Fortunately for her, she seems to have developed a bit more control about where and when she ends up.]]

* ''WesternAnimation/SheRaAndThePrincessesOfPower'': Raz initially appears to be senile, constantly calling Adora "Mara," the previous She-Ra from a thousand years ago. Then an episode from Raz's perspective reveals that she is constantly bouncing around in time, so she was constantly calling Mara "Adora," a thousand years before Adora would even be born. On their first meeting, Raz already knows Mara's name, and apologizes for forgetting that they hadn't met yet. Further complicating matters is the fact that Raz ''is'' senile, and thus has a lot of trouble remembering things that, from her perspective, she was just doing right that second, even when they were a thousand years in the future.

The experiment went horribly wrong and he ended up unstuck in reality, [[FateWorseThanDeath randomly warping through time and space while unable to die or age, being driven completely insane]]. Then he got BoredWithInsanity. Now he has control of his warping and has become an incredibly powerful TimeMaster who protects the universe by quietly making alterations to the timeline.
