He might even give missions that hark back to old Golden- and Silver-Age comic books, and he constantly complains that They Changed It, Now It Sucks.
Open Archetype Suggestion thread!, Kirsten's Epic Weapon Pools, Feudal Japan, Etc., Alignment specific Rularuu iTrials!
If Masterminds didn't suck, they'd be the most powerful AT in the game.
Sweet concept, I like it!
bonus points if he's in front of a little house at the base of the new buildings, and with a few balloons tied to the porch

Most depressing 1st 10 minutes of a movie... Ever. Kinda ruined it for me honestly, left me feeling sorry the whole time.

for a movie called Up, y'all sure make it seem like a downer.

It was an absolutely brilliant movie. It was hysterical and heart-warming. The first ten minutes had more heartstring pulls than any cartoon and most live action movies have through their whole duration. And then it's supplemented by the occasional heartstring pull throughout the movie, and a solid yank near the end. I seriously sat in the theatre in disbelief with tears STREAMING down my face during the first ten minutes..."this is a CARTOON?" Of course, that was followed by copious amounts of laughter and "awww!" moments. And a few more tears, admittedly.|

Of course, I have been known to occasionally cry at commercials so you can't judge solely by my reaction... >.>

Back to the OP, this would make an excellent mission arc. It would be cool to gain the contact by "accident" so to speak. Heroes moving past his position might hear him mumbling about everything having changed, if they happen to click on him he will talk to them and tell them his fantastic tale which will lead them to investigate the altered past. . . And to discover that he is right, the past HAS BEEN changed!
Could form the basis for major overlapping arcs even. . . 
edited for very poor grammar and spelling
And they could name him "Fourthwall Fred."

The biggest problem I can see with the whole idea is, we would have to go back and start over with Issue 1 again. |

You would not really have to go back to issue 1, but perhaps we might unravel a plot by a rogue Ouro faction.
Or were you just trying to be funny? *Snicker*
This idea care of The Paragon Kid
(He said it first in VIP beta)
For I21, after the (redacted) changes to Atlas Park (and other zones? Or things? Or characters?), lets have one old man who is the only NPC to remember the old appearances.
And nobody believes him.
Kinda like the bum in Steel Canyon who sits outside the old Monkey Fight Club door.
All credit to The Paragon Kid on beta.
The Beta is full of bugs?
