The Flux Capacitor is one of the Foundation Elements, from the Back to the Future World.
Background[]
The Flux Capacitor is a device created by Doc Brown, which is the key mechanic used to make time travel possible. Doc first envisioned the device in 1955 after he slipped and fell while trying to attach a clock on the wall in his bathroom. After regaining consciousness, Doc drew a picture of the Flux Capacitor and he dedicated his life's work and research to making time travel possible, until finally in 1985 Doc built and successfully tested the device by attaching it to his DeLorean Time Machine and later the Travelling Time Train.
Dimensions Crisis[]
During the level Once Upon A Time Machine in the West, Lord Vortech attempts to get his plans back on track by traveling to 1885 Hill Valley to collect the Flux Capacitor and lure Batman, Gandalf and Wyldstyle into a trap. The events take place just before Doc arrives in 1885 after the events of the second movie, after Doc is accidentally sent to 1885 after the delorean was struck by a lightning in 1955. The heroes help him at loading the broken Delorean in a wagon so Doc can take it away unseen by anyone to hide it in the old salt mines, and before he goes he warns the trio for Mad Dog Tannen, but they instead encounter Vortech who goes up against them in battle, and during the fight Marty Mcfly arrives from the future to pick up the stranded Doc Brown. The heroes eventually find out that Vortech is too strong to defeat and decide to escape, allowing him to search unhindered for the Flux Capacitor. It is unknown how Vortech got the device, but he eventually did get it because it can be seen on Foundation Prime later in the game.
