What will you be like in five years? Ten? Twenty? A hundred, if you last that long? Chances are you'll have seen different sides of life, witnessed multiple worldview-shattering events, and met countless new friends and enemies. If it weren't for your name, you could be easily mistaken to be a new person. In stories, this trope concerns the time the audience is given the chance to see the future of a setting and future versions of different characters, who will almost certainly contrast their past selves in several different ways. This view can be obtained through Time Travel (sometimes a Future Self Reveal), a Flash Forward, or a Time Skip. This is a Super-Trope to Future Badass, Future Me Scares Me, and Future Loser. I Hate Past Me and Former Teen Rebel may also be involved. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Amnesiac Dissonance is related, where someone becomes a different person in the future because of amnesia (or someone is revealed to be different in the past because of amnesia). Compare Character Development, Characterization Marches On. Examples |

Of all characters from the first generation of Digimon, Sora Takeuchi is the one who most changed of all the Chosen Children. In Digimon Adventure she's a tomboy who was rebelled against her mother for not being feminine and also being a soccer player. But in Digimon Adventure 02 as well in Digimon Adventure tri. (the events of both of witch happened various years after Adventure), Sora receives a Girliness Upgrade, in which as other things, she changed soccer for ikebana, aka Japanese floral arrangement. | |

In a time travel episode of Justice League, Batman (along with some others) travels into the Bad Future and meets his elderly self from Batman Beyond, who is appalled by how "green" he once was. The two of them proceed to pull a Good Cop/Bad Cop on a crook, with the younger Bruce playing the good one, the weirdness of which is immediately lampshaded by Static. | |

One Black Panther comic had T'Challa dealing with an untreatable, progressive brain injury from repeated head trauma that'd eventually kill him after eroding his mind. He meets himself from the future where he is a jovial goofball compared to his present day stoic self from it. | |

In The Flash (2014), Barry Allen/The Flash is a warm-hearted superhero-in-progress. He meets two, very different versions of himself in Season 3. One has become a depressed, solitary Jaded Washout after the death of Iris. The other is Savitar, a megalomaniac narcissist with a serious case of being a Godhood Seeker. | |
