The TVTropes Trope Finder is where you can come to ask questions like "Do we have this one?" and "What's the trope about...?" Trying to rediscover a long lost show or other medium but need a little help? Head to Media Finder and try your luck there. Want to propose a new trope? You should be over at You Know, That Thing Where.

What is it when a character has returned from the past to find things different? I'm thinking Wolverine at the end of "Days of Future Past" and (to a lesser extent) J at the end of "Men In Black 3". Bonus points is a mentor suddenly realises it's the person they knew from THEIR past.
