 The title text refers to the time travel theme from the {{w|Superman}} movie in which Jor-El states, "It is forbidden for you to interfere with human history." Here it is suggested that Black Hat needs to know some history before going back in time to interfere with it, perhaps so that he would do the right thing and kill Hitler ''before'' the Holocaust and World War II.

 [[Black Hat]] killed Hitler in the year Hitler would have died anyway, ''after'' all the atrocities he and his government committed.
-After Black Hat] announces his completion of a time machine which will only ever work once, [[Cueball]] gives a common suggestion for what to do when you have a time machine: killing {{w|Adolf Hitler}}, the Austrian-born dictator who famously led the {{w|Nazi Party}} to a hostile takeover of the German government, which eventually led to {{w|World War II}} where the Nazis conducted a military invasion of several other European countries and a genocidal campaign known as {{w|the Holocaust}}. Even though Black Hat has other (and probably better) ideas about how to use his time machine, he relents to Cueball's pleas and goes off to kill Hitler, comically using the casual phrase "BRB" which is an abbreviation for "be right back". He soon returns, commenting that he found Hitler in a very noisy bunker in the year 1945.

 In the real world, Hitler and his wife Eva Braun {{w|Death of Adolf Hitler|committed suicide}} on April 30, 1945, in Hitler's personal office in the {{w|Führerbunker}}. Berlin was the last major stronghold of Nazi Germany at that point, and was under heavy military assault by the Soviet Union, making it fairly obvious to the Nazis that they wouldn't control the city for much longer. Germany surrendered to the Allied forces almost immediately after Hitler's death, bringing an end to the European side of the War (the Pacific side, mostly fought between the United States and the Nazi-allied Empire of Japan, would linger on for a few more months until Japan was driven to surrender by {{w|Atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki|two nuclear attacks}}). The fact that Black Hat killed Hitler in the Führerbunker in 1945 means that the War and the Holocaust had already resulted in the deaths of millions, and history would not be significantly changed by murdering Hitler at that point. Also, Black Hat's comment that "1945 was loud!" suggests that Berlin was already under attack when he emerged in the Führerbunker, implying that the killing took place around the time Hitler would have taken his own life anyway, possibly just a few moments before. Indeed, it is possible that Black Hat is, and always has been, Hitler's cause of death, and that Hitler did not really commit suicide; he and his wife were murdered by Black Hat, and those who discovered his body were forced to assume that he had committed a murder-suicide.
