If you were given the power to travel through time and Set Right What Once Went Wrong, how would you improve the world? For many, the answer is obvious: kill Adolf Hitler. This would prevent the atrocities of World War II, The Holocaust, and their myriad side-effects... right?
Unfortunately, even in the land of fiction, this is not an easy task. For one, Hitler survived at least 42 real-life assassination attempts thanks to his various bodyguards, security forces, and a healthy dose of luck — maybe one of them was (or will have been) yours! Targeting him before his rise to power will often turn out to be ludicrously difficult as well — locating a lone, disillusioned war veteran wandering around post-WWI Europe is one hell of a needle-in-a-haystack search.
Secondly, even if you do manage to kill him, something as bad or worse might appear in his place: maybe an even worse dictator takes over and actually wins, or maybe the Soviet Union starts the war instead. Maybe Imperial Japan never gets in a war it can't win and manages to create its own lasting nightmarish superpower. Maybe if there was no horrific slaughter of "undesirables" that took place under Hitler's leadership, the rest of the world wouldn't have experienced the sort of collective shock upon discovery of the Holocaust that spurred them into beginning the process of purging racist and fascist elements from their own lands. Maybe Hitler's death will cause some kind of paradox, from retroactively erasing lives in the present to destroying the universe itself.
In short, it appears to be a cosmic law that something bad has to go down in the period of 1933-1945, and Hitler's premature death is either impossible or will make things worse. For narrative purposes, consider the Anthropic Principle: who would read a story in which someone tries to change history for the better, succeeds, and creates a stable utopian timeline that isn't infested with Clock Roaches? After they've killed off Hitler, what would the author do with the rest of the book?
Interestingly, it seems that neither FDR nor Churchill (or even Stalin while allied with them) have this immunity, because stories come up all the time about heroes having to stop a time-travelling neo-Nazi from sabotaging the Allies — villains simply wouldn't care about any of the possible consequences.
Compare Joker Immunity and Godwin's Law of Time Travel. This is a sub-trope of Precrime Arrest, which is about anyone being punished for something that the time traveler knows they will eventually do. This is one case where attempts to Prevent the War are ultimately counterproductive.
See the Analysis page for musings on how this trope might have worked in Real Life had Hitler actually died earlier.

The Terminator films after the second (plus Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles) shows that trying to prevent Skynet from existing will never work - after all, the time-travelling killer robots must come from somewhere. Terminator: Dark Fate takes one step further by going the "kill Hitler and someone similar takes its place" route with both Skynet and John Connor.

In All-Star Squadron #2, Per Degaton noted that he could not time travel to the date of Pearl Harbor due to "interference" in the time stream. (The same writer, Roy Thomas, also had Rama-Tut experience timestream static. Perhaps the presence of so many people attempting to time travel to a certain point creates congestion, similar to many people attempt to use the same exit from a road.)

The Superman storyline Time and Time Again brings this up in a follow-up issue when the time-observing Linear Men talk with Superman about their policy of preventing changes to history by citing Hitler as an example; they could go back and ensure that he died in the First World War, but they can't be sure that the new timeline would be better or worse than the original. Superman concedes to their point, recalling how he avoided changing history during his own recent trip back to the Second World War.

In the time-travel RPG Continuum, the Fraternity of Thespians use various disguises and impersonate historical figures throughout time to prevent Narcissists from changing the Known universe. It's very rude to ask them how many times they've had to impersonate Hitler; the common reply is "Further information is not available here".

Somewhat averted in Titanic: Adventure Out of Time. The protagonist is a former British government agent, waiting in his apartment in the London of 1942 for a German bomb to land on him. He reflects on the past, and how it could have been altered. Somehow, he then ends up back on the Titanic, given a second chance to complete his mission. If you succeed, and manage to escape on a lifeboat with three particular items, Hitler never comes to power, WWI is similarly averted, and peace and prosperity reigns in Europe. Of course, if you escape but with two or fewer of the three items, in any particular order, there are various other horrible fates waiting for Europe, such as Soviet dictatorship under Stalin (without any Hitler to counter him, his power grew far greater) or the world wars not only going ahead, but Germany invading Britain. Amusingly, one of the items is a painting done by Hitler, which if recovered, makes him a famous artist, and thus he has no time to involve himself in politics.

In the Glove and Boots video 10 Reasons Why Time Travel is No Good, the concept of going back in time and killing Hitler is mentioned. However, it theorizes that doing so could create an alternate reality with zombie Hitler or a universe with 20 Hitlers.

Star Trek: Enterprise:
In "Storm Front" Captain Archer is urged by one of the people in the Alternate Universe where Germany is winning WW2 to use his phase cannons to destroy Berlin, but he tells her to be patient and let him correct history his way. This is a somewhat odd example, as history had already been massively screwed with, and conceivably Archer could have sterilized all of Earth to no ill effect, as the one event he did need to change would reset everything anyway.
Incidentally, that timeline may (or may not) have been the result of this trope applied to Lenin - someone assassinated him in 1916, the Soviet Union never came to be, and Hitler could concentrate on the West.

Downplayed in The Simpsons; Homer wakes up at work thinking he has traveled back in time and the first thing that comes to his mind is stopping Hitler, but he is in the present day and just missed the point about a retrospective radio show talking as if the year were 1939. The writers also toyed with this idea for a sci-fi themed Halloween episode but nothing was produced and only a raw internal short touched the topic.

Justice League: "The Savage Time" involves traveling back in time to World War II, where Vandal Savage has usurped control over the Nazis after being told, in a time-traveled message from his future self, that he "has to get rid of that lunatic Hitler" and seize control in order for the Germans to win the second World War. Strangely, though, Savage only freezes Hitler in cryogenic suspension, rather than more permanently disposing of him, and thusly Hitler is thawed out and restored to his "proper place" after Savage is defeated, hence fitting this trope. An attempted Author's Saving Throw was a subsequent commentary by the producers that this means that World War II happened but the Holocaust did not, courtesy of Savage's aborted attempt at changing the future.

Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal :
Referenced in this strip: Hitler only came to power because of the meddling of a time traveler who went back in time to kill a man named Hartler whose ascent to power caused... a longer version of the Great Depression. This is actually a real argument against trying to change the past, as one can't predict what will happen in the altered timeline.
Averted in this one, where the time traveler succeeds by going back and providing Hitler with a scholarship at an art school at the right moment. Although history is vastly improved, the traveler discovers that it still has a few disturbing side effects.
Possibility C of the red button hover-over is that the reason no time travellers show up to prevent bad things from happening is that they’re really bad at doing things like killing Hitler.
And yet another twist — Hitler becomes so good at killing time travellers that the people of the far future have to recruit him to fight time travelling invaders from even farther in the future, all of which turns out to be the plot of a cheap movie.
In this one, the result of killing Hitler turned out so well that humanity began systematically hunting down every historical villain in order to improve the present. However, the definition of what constitutes a "villain" predictably dropped over time from people like Hitler and Vlad the Impaler to regular jerks to people who were not perfect, flawless saints. In the end, humanity retroactively wipes itself out of existence. It turns out to have all been a plot by future aliens to trick humans into removing themselves from the timeline.
A part of this is discussed in this comic, where the alien points out that it's a bit alarming that humans focus on "killing Hitler" instead of doing something non-violent to prevent his rise.

Due to the way time travel works in Quantum Break, killing Hitler is impossible (long story short, the furthest back you can go is the first activation of the time machine you're using, and the first time machine was activated in 1999). You can find a draft for a book on time travel by Will where a note mentions that he's really sick of hearing jokes about killing Hitler.

This trope is discussed in Star Trek: Strange New Worlds in concerns with Khan Noonian-Singh as he is so important to humanity’s historical path than getting rid of him would bring about a Bad Future, no matter how benign or malicious. Interestingly, it's indicated that time itself has actually been enforcing this trope as best it can: apparently the reason the Eugenics Wars didn't start in 1992 is that multiple time travelers have attempted to sabotage it, but all they have managed is to push it slightly further into the future, and history is right back on track within a century or two.

Invoked in the Rick and Morty episode "Rattlestar Ricklactica". After a planet of snakes have decided to invade Earth, Rick goes back in time and leaves them a book that will lead them to invent time travel, expecting them to exploit this recklessly. Sure enough, after averting Snake Lincoln's assassination leads to the rise of snake Nazis, this leads to an attempt to go back in time to kill Snake Hitler that culminates in countless snakes going back in time to either save or kill Hitler to the point that it leads to a massive pile of snake corpses. This ends up alerting the Time Police, who then go back in time to stop them from becoming sapient in the first place.

Sam Hyde has a famous sketch where he's on a date with a Jewish woman who asks him where he would live if he lived in another time period, and Sam goes on to theorize about how he'd end up becoming "Hitler's top guy" if he lived in Nazi-occupied France despite disliking Hitler and disapproving of his actions, because Hitler's charisma would have been too difficult to resist. During the same sketch, he says that he wishes someone would time travel back to before Hitler was born to take him out.

Zig-zagged in Deadpool 2:
Originally the film included a scene where Deadpool used his Time Travel device to kill Baby Hitler in his crib. Subverted.
Except the Test Audience found Baby Hitler too cute and the scene was cut from the theatrical release. Played straight.
Super-Duper Cut on Blu-Ray restored the Deleted Scene and showed Deadpool about to do the deed. Subverted.
Except it also added The Stinger revealing that even Deadpool can't bring himself to do it. Played straighter.
But Deadpool also suggests bringing in Cable, who "loves killing kids". Subverted?

SCP Foundation:
SCP-2451 is created by an attempt by the American military to send one of the soldiers back in time to kill Hitler, only for seemingly nothing to happen. However, said soldier winds up becoming a walking temporal anomaly, through which other time travelers from other dimensions exit to kill their historical genocidal tyrants.
A rejected SCP that made it into SCP-100-J was "Little Addie", a duplicate of a six-year-old Hitler who was terminated without any alterations to the timestream.
There is also an inversion in the form of SCP-3780, where the Foundation has to ensure JFK is assassinated and stop time travelers/other anomalies from preventing the shooting.
SCP-CN-2965 is Adolphe Sax, inventor of the saxophone. For some reason, time travellers who want to kill Hitler keep targeting him instead, causing all the near-death accidents that he experienced during his childhood.

In Supernatural Gordon uses this trope to try and justify killing Sam to Dean, asking him if he was able to sit next to a very young, aspiring Hitler, would he shoot him?
Made slightly Hilarious in Hindsight when Dean ends up shooting Hitler. Who was resurrected rather than Dean killing him through time travel, but still.

Subverted in Zipang. The hit is performed by someone of that time period acting on information from time travellers. An attempt was made by an IJN officer because he knows from the time-displaced crew of the Mirai, that the Axis would lose no matter what and of the sufferings of the Japanese people after the war. To prevent that, he tried to kill Hitler so the war would end quickly and Japan could get a peace treaty with good terms. He failed.

In the final season of 12 Monkeys, the team goes to 1944 to get an artifact. They're thrown to find Hitler is a surprise visitor and a pair of French Resistance soldiers are planning to set off a bomb. It's played straight with the group trying to stop the bomb so they can get the clock. But in the closing scene a hysterical subversion comes in as Jennifer (a complete nutcase), sets off the bomb just because she can. Leader Katrina is shown at a bar, looking at a newspaper headline of Hitler's death while Himmler taking over and musing that the rest of World War II pretty much followed the same path, meaning killing Hitler at that point didn't really affect history at all.

A fictional non-Hitler example of the same conundrum defines the last act of PandoraHearts. Oswald, an antagonist, wants to go back in time and prevent the Tragedy of Sablier, a cataclysmic event that occurred 100 years ago, almost destroyed the world, functionally annihilated Oswald's city, traumatized most of the cast, and whose consequences are nearing destroying the world again. However, the Tragedy was driven by underlying tensions and issues that had gone unaddressed until erupting into the open so violently, meaning that erasing the Tragedy wouldn't remove the problems that actually caused it, only the specific happenstance triggers that Oswald knows of from this particular timeline—and even if Oswald does succeed, he will be destroying the existence of every person who lived after the moment that he changed. The protagonists find this last part unacceptable, positioning that a solution for those in the present and the future is the only way to actually move forward in regards to these underlying problems—however difficult it is to live with, leaving the past to the past is the only way to move on from it.

Beast Wars: Uprising: One of the major nails in the backstory is that, during a version of the events of Beast Wars, Beast War's Megatron managed to get away with shooting Optimus Prime in the head, but before she could vanish from existence, Blackarachnia managed to fatally poison G1 Megatron in return. The result was that without Megatron, the Autobot / Decepticon war proved far more destructive to Earth, and just in general.

A played with variant appears in The Adventures of Dr. McNinja. The mysterious Chrononaut turns out to be Chuck Goodrich, the mayor of Cumberland... or rather, an alternate version of Chuck. See Chuck is a time traveler who came back in time to prevent a Zombie Apocalypse that destroyed the future. Only he's not the first or last Chuck to come back in time; every time a Chuck comes back and helps prevent the apocalypse, it just spirals into a new timeline where something else destroyed the world. The result is that the timeline we follow is regularly getting a new Chuck Goodrich.
A slightly straighter version crops up later; the zombie-timeline Chuck, tired of King Radical's constant outwitting of the heroes, uses the time portal under Cumberland to go back in time and try to kill Radical hundreds of years before he can even begin his evil plan. Unfortunately for Chuck, a Stable Time Loop and the fact that Radical is an alternate Chuck Goodrich as well means that Radical kills him and proceeds to dedicate part of his life to tracking down the Chuck that will eventually try to kill him.

In Robert Asprin's Time Scout series, people important to history can't be killed. Period. There's no real explanation, but you'll trip, or sneeze, or die, or your gun will jam, or something, but you will fail. Essentially, in-universe Plot Armor.
The explanation is that when you're in the past, you don't change history, you merely fulfill your already-taken-place-just-hasn't-happened-to-you-yet part in it. So while you can mess about fairly freely in 'the shadows of history', you can't possibly change the way any event was recorded, because history already records that you clearly failed to change it. One villain's cover story involves him discovering an ancient photograph of himself doing something he has not yet done (it's a lie, but the story is accepted as perfectly legitimate effect of the time travel rules).

On a closely related note, an episode of Freakazoid! involves the clownish hero traveling back in time and, almost accidentally, preventing the attack on Pearl Harbor. Realizing what he's done, he wonders what his own time will be like now. "What hath Freak wrought?!" he wonders aloud. He returns home to find that... everything is exactly the same, except that Sharon Stone is now a Shakespearian actress, there are no Chevy Chase movies, and Rush Limbaugh is standing on a street corner collecting charity donations for the poor. He decides these are good changes. (Oh, and the Brain is President of the United States).

Referenced in Homestuck when Jake meets Meenah, who in another lifetime went on to become an evil empress and then traveled to this universe, took over earth, flooded it, and wiped out almost all of humanity. Jake reasons that this basically makes her fish-Hitler, and therefore that, since everyone knows that if you travel back in time and meet Hitler you must kill him, he should immediately beat her up. Except, of course, he hasn't gone back in time, and Meenah isn't even really the same person as the Condesce anyway, so all he achieves is beating up an innocent person while their friends freak out around them. Then again, Meenah was already dead...and she barely noticed because she had just learned about said alternate self and was Squeeing over her. So maybe not that innocent.

Played with in the final episode of Batman: The Brave and the Bold. The Batman Cold Open has Batman team up with Abraham Lincoln to stop Lincoln's assassination at the hands of John Wilkes Booth, only for the last few seconds to reveal Batman was saving the Lincoln of a parallel universe instead of his own. The fact Booth was a Steampunk Cyborg might have been a subtle clue.

Irregular Webcomic!:
In one comic, Steve the crocodile hunter is told that his plan to stop the war by taking out Hitler can’t work, as it’s impossible for time travellers to kill Hitler — which doesn’t impede his plans much, since he was planning on wrestling him into submission, not killing him. (Of course, the comic has a reference to this page).
Also mentioned here, where the Mythbusters’ younger selves consider killing Hitler as a way to test out their time machine.
Here, they dismiss the possibility of doing it because it’s been done so often that they’ve run out of original punchlines on the topic.

The Twilight Zone (1959): In the episode "No Time Like the Past", a time-traveler attempts to snipe Hitler during a speech from a hotel window. He had a nice clean shot, then his gun jammed. He is forced to abandon the attempt when the maid calls the police on him. It also handwaves the whole "doesn't think to go back farther" thing, as the time-traveler also attempted to prevent the sinking of the Lusitania. It doesn't work either.

In series 3 of Misfits an old Jewish man who's bought Curtis' power attempts to travel in time and kill Hitler. Not only does he fail, he accidentally drops his cellphone, which Hitler finds and uses to advance Nazi technology by decades. When the guy gets back to 2011, he finds a world where Germany won the war and now rules Britain. So Kelly gets given the time-travel power and uses it to go back and take the phone off Hitler. And then chin him. And ask him why he's "such a fookin' dick". And then "kick the shit out of him".

A non time-travel related example in the fourth Hearts of Iron game: If the player derails the course of history in some way (the most obvious example being having Germany overthrow Hitler) in an attempt to avoid conflict, the game will go out of it's way to have other nations abandon their historical path and go out of their way to cause conflict with the player (i.e., if Germany opts to overthrow Hitler, France will abandon it's historical Democratic path and either go Communist if Germany restores the Kaiserreich and allies with Britain, or Fascist if Germany restores the Weimar Republic as a constitutional monarchy - an exception is if Germany restores the Kaiserreich but opts to reform the Central Powers, due to that path still putting Germany in conflict with the Allies), and unless the player takes out other nations that would cause trouble early on, those nations will still go down their historical paths (using the aforementioned example with Germany, the Soviets will still make their territorial demands from their neighbors in Europe, and Italy and Japan will still attack Greece or Yugoslavia and China respectively). Additionally, In Spite of a Nail, Hitler can still cause trouble (albeit under a Paper-Thin Disguise) if he fakes his death and either Argentinanote referencing the joke of how many Nazis fled to the country to avoid persecution, Greecenote in this case, Greece has to restore The Byzantine Empire; he shows up as "Adolfos I", or the United Statesnote as an architect from Brownow, Arkansas; while it's not required for him to show up, he can lead the Confederate States of America if you wish go fascistnote each of those identities corresponded with a different DLC - Waking the Tiger for Argentina, Man the Guns for the United States, and Battle for the Bosphorus for Greece; La Resistance allows for him to be a spy for a democratic Germany, whereas No Step Back broke the trend by not having him as a leader for one of the countries that got content - Poland, the Soviet Union, and the 3 Batlic States.

Red Dwarf. Hitler is saved from successful assassination when Lister steals his suitcase (with a bomb inside) during one time travel (where he uses "evolved" film developer).
A similar situation occurs in the episode "Tikka to Ride", but with JFK. Listers travels back in time to stock up on curry and inadvertently prevents the assassination of JFK. This leads to Kennedy getting impeached and sent to prison and a second Cuban Missile Crisis. The team solves the problem by abducting JFK while he's being transferred to prison and traveling back to 1963 where Kennedy himself becomes the second gunman from the Grassy Knoll.
A tie-in book has a Space Corps psychological test which includes the question "If you could go back in time and kill Adolf Hitler as a baby, would you?", to which Lister answers "No, because as a baby, I wouldn't be tall enough to reach him".

xkcd:
Played with when Black Hat Guy goes and kills Hitler... in April 1945, in the bunker, while the Red Army is storming the city and Hitler is just about to commit suicide. Played straight from the perspective of the person who persuaded him to do it, since it was a reasonable assumption that he'd know to do it before World War 2. Black Hat guy was right after all when he said they should have used the time machine to do something fun, instead of wasting their only chance at time travel in a futile attempt to satisfy the other's person's "obsession with this Hitler guy". Of course, given what a humongous troll Black Hat Guy is, it's entirely likely that he deliberately missed the point of the other person's insistance on killing Hitler out of spite, thus calling into question exactly how futile it would have been otherwise. Also we only have Black Hat Guy's word on what he did with the time machine.
Beret Guy also travels through time to kill Hitler. He finds it easier than expected because he traveled to the future by hiding in a time capsule.
In this strip, one of the main character's future selves traveled back in time to kill Hitler, but they got the year way off, traveling to the present day instead of the 1900's.

American Dad! had an episode where Steve and his friends modded a video game into one where they go back in time to prevent Hitler from existing by beating a boss fight against a monstrous Klara Hitler who is visibly pregnant with Adolf as a fetus, only to fail in their attempt. Later, after trapping Stan in his own Lotus-Eater Machine and creating a giant zombie using the Klara code that turns out to be too powerful for them to delete normally, they program the Hitler fetus into the zombie to give it a weak point for Steve to shoot.

One 2000 AD Time Twisters (Basically a Future Shock involving time travel) had Allied assassins go back to Hitler's birth to assassinate him. Hitler uses Mental Time Travel to take control of his own infant self and kill the assassins, saving his own life in several different alternate realities. However, it comes back to bite him in the ass when his baby self's personality takes him over, leading him to make increasingly idiotic decisions and leads to his eventual suicide.

Parodied in Hardly Working's Killing Hitler. The first time they try it, the adult Hitler beats up the time traveller. The second time he does it again, but as an adolescent. The third time traveller attacks him with a rifle when he's a small child. However, Hitler steals it, and then forces the traveller to tell him how to make an atomic bomb. And then kid Hitler travels through the portal into the future. And to add insult to injury, he renamed the city of Berlin Owen Sux.

In the Devilman story "Late Spring in Vienna", Akira and Ryo end up in Austria in the 1920 to "kill a demon". A real one, turned into a Count. He has decided to buy a portrait of his wife Sophie, painted by a poor painter that has no choice - he would have preferred to keep it because he loves Sophie. A Jewish art dealer makes the arrangement, but the same evening Sophie dies, burnt by her demon husband. Akira and Ryo kill the lord demon and then come back to their time, hoping that history is in good shape after what they did. Then, back in the 20s, the painter is furious after Sophie's death, and places the blame on his dealer: "I hate you, I'll spend my entire life to destroy you and your whole race!" and the art dealer starts to run after him: "Hey, what are you saying? Where are you going like that? Adolf? Adolf Hitler!"
Made somewhat ironic by the fact that in real life, Hitler sucked at drawing people.

In War Front: Turning Point, Hitler is assassinated very early in WWII. This, however, makes things worse: under the even more effective leadership of his successor, the Nazis are able to occupy Great Britain. And when they are eventually defeated, things go haywire: Russians take Germany's fall as the chance to advance into Western Europe, triggering a new conflict with the Allies.

It's also acknowledged, in a way, in the GURPS Infinite Worlds setting (which is more about crosstime travel). Some agents of Centrum (the antagonist timeline) have noticed that Homeliners get downright irrational (or even more so than usual) about timelines where Hitler exists, especially if he's winning. To Centrum, he's just another genocidal despot like so many in (other people's) history.

In Mike Tyson Mysteries, the reformed Mike Tyson swore he would never use his fists for destruction except on two people: The "grandmaster" of the Klu Klux Klan, and Adolf Hitler. This last one ends up being used by Pigeon to trick Mike into freeing the brain of Bobby Fisher, which was put inside Deep Blue by the android CEO of IBM. Fortunately for Mike, he later manages to accomplish his dream of killing Hitler when Marquess takes them back in time to 1889 to apologize to his son and Oscar Wilde, and they happen across Klara Hitler who asks them to watch her baby. Unfortunately, when they return to the present, they see that without Hitler the Jews took over the world. Mike doesn't seem to mind too much, however.

In the Time Warp Trio episode "Able Was I Ere I Saw Elba", the group warps back to 1815 France and inadvertently help Napoléon Bonaparte win the Battle of Waterloo. After returning to the present they see that France ended up taking over the world, with America in particular being renamed "New France", and they have to go back to fix it.

Subnormality:
In this comic, the time travelers are all shot dead by Hitler’s guards before they can kill him, but their constant attempts on his life are making his guards worry about how the future’s going to turn out.
In this comic, a sign on the time machine warns that “Booth is not to be used to kill Hitlerâ€�.note No, not John Wilkes Booth, although that WOULD be interesting...
Parodied and inverted here, where two neo-Nazis try to travel back in time to kill President Roosevelt and cause the Allies to lose the war… only to fail when they evidently forget there were two presidents by that name and get their car thrown at them by President Theodore Roosevelt.

Star Trek:
Star Trek: The Next Generation: A man claiming to be a time-travelling historian attempts to invoke this when Picard asks for his advice on their crisis of the week. Picard is profoundly unimpressed, calling it a problem for first-year philosophy students rather than reality. It turns out to be a moot point, as the historian is actually a time-travelling conman from the past.
Star Trek: Enterprise:
In "Storm Front" Captain Archer is urged by one of the people in the Alternate Universe where Germany is winning WW2 to use his phase cannons to destroy Berlin, but he tells her to be patient and let him correct history his way. This is a somewhat odd example, as history had already been massively screwed with, and conceivably Archer could have sterilized all of Earth to no ill effect, as the one event he did need to change would reset everything anyway.
Incidentally, that timeline may (or may not) have been the result of this trope applied to Lenin - someone assassinated him in 1916, the Soviet Union never came to be, and Hitler could concentrate on the West.
This trope is discussed in Star Trek: Strange New Worlds in concerns with Khan Noonian-Singh as he is so important to humanity’s historical path than getting rid of him would bring about a Bad Future, no matter how benign or malicious. Interestingly, it's indicated that time itself has actually been enforcing this trope as best it can: apparently the reason the Eugenics Wars didn't start in 1992 is that multiple time travelers have attempted to sabotage it, but all they have managed is to push it slightly further into the future, and history is right back on track within a century or two.

Fantastic Four:
In a comic book from the John Byrne era, the Invisible Woman, the Torch and She-Hulk find themselves in 1930s New York with Nick Fury. Fury decides to go to Germany and kill Hitler, and the other three try to stop him. They find Fury being interrogated by some goons while Hitler watches; they overpower the goons and free Fury, and Sue Storm gives an impassioned speech about not altering the timeline. Fury nods, starts walking out the door — and then turns and shoots Hitler. It turns out that it was All Just a Dream.
In a storyline where a future Dr. Doom comes back to kill Reed, it is stated that timelines tend to correct themselves. For example, if you prevent Abraham Lincoln's assassination, people remember the time he was almost killed in the theatre - a couple of days before dying in a bathtub slip. Of course, stuff like that is Depending on the Writer - the Marvel multiverse is said to exist partly because time travel almost always changes things... but simply creates an alternate timeline. So for the above example, there would be a universe where Lincoln was killed in the theatre, and one where he wasn't. And probably at least one where he slipped on the soap, but not because of any universal correction as The Multiverse.

In the Champions module "Wings of the Valkyrie," the heroes must go back in time to save Hitler after another time traveller kills him before the Nazi Party rises to power... creating an Alternate History where things came out even worse (Germany went communist; the West lost the alternate version of World War Two to the German-Soviet alliance; a falling-out between the victors led to World War Three; several cities have been nuked and the major powers don't seem at all afraid of doing it again when the next war breaks out; the United States is sliding into homegrown fascism). Most people in the alternate 1987 have a general sense that civilization is inevitably going down the drain.
It should be noted that the original version submitted by the credited author presented the heroes with an alternate history in which killing Hitler creates a worldwide Utopia; the point of the original version was to present the players with an opportunity to debate morality and present a hard choice about whether to restore the original history. Editorial meddling (and possibly concerns that such a module might be a campaign-ender) resulted in the published version, which greatly embarrassed the credited author. The less genre savvy readers included Holocaust survivors and the Anti-Defamation League, who had trouble with the premise that slaughtering 6,000,000+ Jews (and others) might make the world better.

Command & Conquer: Red Alert Series:
The central premise of Command & Conquer: Red Alert is that shortly after World War II, Albert Einstein uses a Time Machine to meet Hitler at the one moment in history where his location in civilian life was absolutely verified (just outside the gates of Landsberg prison on December 20, 1924, after completing his sentence for his role in the Beerhall Putsch) and then erasing the future dictator from history. While this does succeed in preventing the original World War II, the power vacuum leads to an even greater conflict as Josef Stalin makes his own attempt to conquer the world, with the Soviets and Allies (including Germany) slugging it out with weirder weapons in a "Great World War II" that takes place in the 1950s or so.
In contrast, the Soviet campaign for Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2: Yuri's Revenge has them steal the Allied time machine to reverse the outcome of the base game's war and prevent Yuri from enacting his renegade plan of setting up Psychic Dominators following their defeat in the main game, leading to a total Soviet victory and world domination of Communism. It may be that the time between the actions of the time travellers and that of the time period their actions affected was so small, and also involving essentially the same people, that the long-term implications were manageable - similar Timey-Wimey Ball shenanigans happen with the Allied campaign that only serve to see Yuri imprisoned before he can use his Psychic Dominators and General Carville avoiding the assassination attempt that claimed his life in the base game.
The Soviets pull an Einstein on Einstein in Red Alert 3; on the verge of defeat, they use a time machine of their own to take out the Allies' main scientist, erasing not only Einstein but the nuclear technology he helped create. While this causes the Soviet Union to be much more powerful in the new timeline, it inadvertently creates a new world power, the Empire of the Rising Sun, forcing the Soviets to ally with the Allies to defeat the Japanese (and canonically losing anyway). Einstein proves to be an exemption to this rule in that a corporation springs up to provide the Allies with chrono- technology in his place. Also note that by taking Einstein, and by extension nuclear weapons out of the picture, the game developers were able to create a war game that didn't involve dropping a nuclear bomb on the Japanese (never mind that previous games had Chrono-technology as a personal invention of Einstein, while nuclear weapons were developed by the Soviets, without Einstein directly contributing to the project, because the game runs on pure Rule of Cool and camp, and the developers certainly don't want you to think about the story).
Red Alert 3: Corona, a planned Fan Sequel Game Mod for 3, has this as the backstory: When the Empire of the Rising Sun surrendered to the Allies and Emperor Yoshiro consequently died of grief, his son Crown Prince Tatsu ordered a group of loyal Imperial scientists to recreate the Soviet time machine. Tatsu travelled back to The Middle Ages, saved Möngke Khan (one of Genghis Khan's grandsons) from a cannonball shot that would have killed him, and gave the Mongol horde access to Imperial weapons that allowed them to sweep across Europe in a Curb-Stomp Battle, in the hope of destroying western civilization and preventing the Allies and Soviets from ever rising to power. Then, he disposed of Möngke with the classic handshake of historical retconning and left the Mongols to tear themselves apart, back to the present satisfied of a job well done. On coming back, Tatsu discovers to his horror that not only do the Allies and Soviets still exist despite his attempts to wipe out their ancestors, but a new global superpower has emerged. Known as the Celestial Empire, they are equal or even superior even to the Empire of the Rising Sun and have designs to conquer Japan and perhaps the entire planet.

Late in the series Lilith the protagonist travels to the 1930s and, given her completely uncaring attitude about changing the timeline as long as she completes her mission and her strong morals the readers just know she'll go after him, the only question being if she'll succeed or not... Except the previous changes to the timeline have prevented World War I from starting just yet, so Hitler has done nothing to get Lilith after him and isn't even part of Germany's leadership or mentioned at all.

In the season five premiere of Lost, Pierre Chang explains to a foreman that the unlimited energy source beneath the Orchid greenhouse can be used to manipulate time. The incredulous foreman replies "What, we're gonna go back and kill Hitler?" to which Chang replies "Don't be absurd! There are rules! Rules that can't be broken!"
This exchange actually foreshadows an important event later in the season. Sayid, having unwittingly gone back in time to the days of the Dharma Initiative, tries to kill Ben as a child, knowing that he will basically grow up to cause much death and suffering, essentially becoming the "Hitler" of the island. It doesn't work, and it's hinted that Sayid's actions might have even been what pushed Ben over to the dark side in the first place.

Animorphs plays with this in Megamorphs 3: Elfangor's Secret, but ultimately averts it, because by the time they get to World War 2, history is already so screwed up that killing Hitler won't matter — he's just a jeep driver in that world. So when Tobias wants to kill him, while Cassie doesn't see how they can kill Hitler in this world just because he's Hitler, given that he didn't do any of the things he did in the regular world. But Tobias "accidentally" kills him a few minutes later.

This trope is the basic premise of Kamen Rider Zi-O, as it has time-travelers (Tsukuyomi and Geiz) come back in time fifty years to assassinate their "Hitler", Sougo Tokiwa aka "Oma Zi-O" ("Demon King of Time"), before he rises to power. The problem is that at this point in his life, Sougo is still a fundamentally decent person; and as Tsukuyomi and Geiz are also fundamentally decent people they can't bring themselves to kill him while he's still innocent and instead resolve to hang back and observe for the time being. Both have panicked at points and reached for their weapons when it looked like Sougo was taking steps toward becoming Oma Zi-O. Also complicating matters is that they're not the only time-travelers; Woz is loyal to Oma Zi-O and wants to preserve history as-is, while a group called the Time Jackers is trying to manipulate events to get their own Puppet King on Oma Zi-O's throne.

In one rather heavy-handed episode of Sliders, it was discovered that a world in which California was essentially a Nazi state, complete with the ethnic cleansing of minorities, had never had a Hitler (as per one character's befuddled reaction when Hitler's name is dropped), and had therefore never "learned its lesson", namely the horrors of racial oppression and genocide.

In the third book of The Dire Saga, Dire learns that when Timetripper first got his powers, he attempted to kill Hitler repeatedly, only to find that time keeps correcting itself when it happens. Hitler has, as a result, become extremely paranoid and canny about attacks. It's also resulted in a "groove" in time such that Timetripper keeps getting pulled back to that time period, and the death of Hitler is the easiest way to "reset" his powers.

The Hitler thing was mentioned in a time travel arc of a Godzilla comic book.

In the Futurama episode "The Late Phillip J. Fry", Farnsworth creates a time machine that can only go forwards in time. However, it can still be used to travel to any time you want because after the end of the universe, it just restarts from the beginning and everything plays out the exact same way as before (assuming no outside interference). During one loop, Farnsworth makes a stop in Nazi Germany to kill Hitler. However, we don't get to see how this changes history since they overshoot their destination again and have to make another go-around. This time, Farnsworth is too lazy to stop and tries to shoot Hitler from the time machine while it's moving. He misses and kills Eleanor Roosevelt instead (we don't get to see how that changes history either).

X-Men:
Someone makes the mistake of mentioning this idea to Magneto — who is a Holocaust survivor. Predictably, he explodes. In the movie it was the anxiety of separation from his mother in the camps that first revealed the powers of the Master of Magnetism. Without such violent circumstances, Magneto would be a very different person.
The mini-series True Friends has Kitty Pryde and Rachel Summers accidentally travelling to the late 1930s. Kitty, who is Jewish and learned about the Holocaust from her grandfather, himself a camp survivor, decides to assassinate Hitler and most of his staff, until she is forced to choose between changing history and saving Rachel from the Shadow King.

In an unused poster in Portal 2, you are informed to, in event of time travel, avoid both your past and future selves, your dad, and Hitler. An unused and unrecorded Cave Johnson line states that all alternate parallel universe versions of you (or whatever test subject he was talking to at the time) are Hitler. He also warns you not to kill him if you meet him during the tests.

Studio C has one sketch where Doc Brown, Bill & Ted, The Doctor, Hermione Granger, and Spock all show up at the same time and place to try to kill Hitler. (Well, except for The Doctor, who is just there to serve Bill and Ted with papers for copyright infringement.) In the end, Hermione kills him, then hitches a ride with Bill and Ted back to her own time, because the Time Turner only travels backward and she doesn't want to take The Slow Path home.

Non-Hitler example in Legacy of Kain: The vampire Kain, while leading a losing battle against the army of the brutal tyrant Nemesis, travels back in time. There he murders Nemesis's past self, the boy-king William the Just, before he turns evil and unstoppable. When he returns to his time, he finds the vampire race almost wiped out by crusaders avenging their beloved king. It turns out Kain was set up by Moebius, who arranged both the time travel, William's turn to evil, and the subsequent crusades.

Robot Chicken demonstrates a possible loophole to this trope: a skit during the episode called "Dicks With Time Machines" features...well, dicks screwing around with the past. However, the last one doesn't try to kill Hitler but instead chooses to publicly humiliate him by showing footage of him on the toilet at one of his rallies. This effectively destroys Hitler's ability to get anyone to listen to him and changes the name of the skit to "Heroes with Time Machines".

In Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, the titular Dial, Archimedes' Antikythera Mechanism, is an ancient artifact that can take anyone through a time fissure and with the right calculations, could send anyone back in time and alter history. Naturally, someone wants to use it to go back to 1939 and kill Hitler before he can invade Poland, but the twist in the plot is that it's the surviving Nazis, led by Jürgen Voller, who want to kill Hitler because they blame him for Nazi Germany losing World War II, and seek to replace him with a more competent Führer. Luckily, it turns out that the Dial of Destiny is fixed to send time travelers to 212-213 BC, during the Siege of Syracuse, and operates on a Stable Time Loop, meaning that Voller's plan was doomed from the start.

One of the main characters in Sergey Lukyanenko's novel Dances on the Snow (a part of the Genome trilogy) mentions that simulations were done on what would happen if certain key historical figures were to be eliminated before they did what they did. The result was that no single person, even Hitler or Stalin, are important enough in the grand scheme of things to significantly alter the chain of events that resulted in the world history. It should be noted that no time travel technology exists in the novel, this was purely a simulation.

In Harley's Little Black Book, Harley Quinn has lots of fun beating up Hitler to a bloody pulp, all the while giving him a "The Reason You Suck" Speech, as a result of which his car crashes, and yet somehow he survives. Later, though, this is subverted as Harley is so annoying that she drives Hitler to shoot himself. This is likely a Stable Time Loop, though.

In The Flash (Infinite Frontier), Wally West ends up in the body of the Golden Age Flash and discovers that Adolf Hitler is not only in possession of the Spear of Destiny, but also hopped up on Speed Force energy. Wally suggests just shooting Hitler, but Barry Allen and Mr. Terrific shoot that down, noting that doing so would cause an Earth-Shattering Kaboom. Hitler does explode due to the Speed Force energy being released normally and the Golden Age Flash, now in possession of his body again, and the Golden Age Ray have no idea if he survived that.

The Supervillainy Saga: In one tie-in short story, Gary mentions that he went back in time to kill Hitler multiple times at various points in history. This just sprouted alternate timelines in which Nazism still arose without Hitler and the Nazis won the war without having to deal with his inept leadership, only for their Facist But Inefficient government to fall apart in a few decades anyway.

Complete World Knowledge turns out to be an aversion. Throughout the first two books, the consistency of the made-up nonsense gradually forms a sort of Alternate History, and by the third book, we learn that Hitler drowned at a seaside resort during the 1930s. Franklin Roosevelt was nearby, and he did nothing.

Brought up numerous times in Doctor Who, especially the Expanded Universe.
In one of the novels, the Doctor helps Hitler to prevent other aliens from making things worse. Another criticised the whole "kill Hitler before the War" theory as a hypocritical exercise in futility, since the only person who would ultimately be able to kill Hitler before he'd done anything to merit death (as a baby) would be someone who could willingly murder an innocent (a.k.a. another Hitler).
Doctor Who has always used the Daleks as a metaphor for the Nazis, so the following exchange from "Genesis of the Daleks" is about as close to this trope as we're going to get:
Played for Laughs in "Let's Kill Hitler", when the Doctor gets forced at gunpoint by Amy's friend Mels to go back in time to kill Hitler. Meanwhile, the crew of the Teselecta, a time-traveling infiltrator robot crewed by miniature humans who punish Karma Houdinis, tries to punish Hitler in 1938, only to realize they've come too early (they normally abduct them just before their deaths). Before they can rectify their mistake, the TARDIS comes crashing through the window, saving Hitler's life. Hitler takes the opportunity to shoot the robot, hitting Mels instead. Rory then punches Hitler in the face and locks him in a cupboard, and he is never heard from again that episode while the true plot starts, with Mels regenerating and revealed to be River Song.
"Shut up, Hitler!"
Discussed Trope in "Kill the Moon". The Doctor mentions taking Clara out to dinner in Berlin in 1938, and that they didn't kill Hitler while they were there, to prove a point that certain points in history are just too monumental for him to dare interfere in them.
Not played for laughs in "The Magician's Apprentice", when Twelve meets a young Davros, creator of the Daleks, on Skaro. Davros later reminds the Doctor of his choice to abandon Davros by replaying Four's speech from above.

The Non-Adventures of Wonderella:
Used with "communist" China in this this strip where Wonderella goes back in time to prevent China's air pollution problems and in the process save a young boy from drowning. When Wonderita worries about how this might impact the future, Wonderella states that things will be fine on the reasoning that a) it's just a little kid and b) he's named Mao "like a kitty cat!" so things will turn out fine.
Invoked in this strip, when Wonderella gets her hands on a baby Hitler. She and Patrietta consider 'fixing' him to not be a monster (or as much of one), Queen Beetle points out that Hitler was too influential to history to change, and even influencing him to be an ordinary citizen would create a Grandfather Paradox. They send him back, but let him keep his teddy bear. Cue killer chainsaw-wielding teddy bear robots.

In contrast, the Soviet campaign for Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2: Yuri's Revenge has them steal the Allied time machine to reverse the outcome of the base game's war and prevent Yuri from enacting his renegade plan of setting up Psychic Dominators following their defeat in the main game, leading to a total Soviet victory and world domination of Communism. It may be that the time between the actions of the time travellers and that of the time period their actions affected was so small, and also involving essentially the same people, that the long-term implications were manageable - similar Timey-Wimey Ball shenanigans happen with the Allied campaign that only serve to see Yuri imprisoned before he can use his Psychic Dominators and General Carville avoiding the assassination attempt that claimed his life in the base game.

The Soviets pull an Einstein on Einstein in Red Alert 3; on the verge of defeat, they use a time machine of their own to take out the Allies' main scientist, erasing not only Einstein but the nuclear technology he helped create. While this causes the Soviet Union to be much more powerful in the new timeline, it inadvertently creates a new world power, the Empire of the Rising Sun, forcing the Soviets to ally with the Allies to defeat the Japanese (and canonically losing anyway). Einstein proves to be an exemption to this rule in that a corporation springs up to provide the Allies with chrono- technology in his place. Also note that by taking Einstein, and by extension nuclear weapons out of the picture, the game developers were able to create a war game that didn't involve dropping a nuclear bomb on the Japanese (never mind that previous games had Chrono-technology as a personal invention of Einstein, while nuclear weapons were developed by the Soviets, without Einstein directly contributing to the project, because the game runs on pure Rule of Cool and camp, and the developers certainly don't want you to think about the story).

The Twilight Zone:
The Twilight Zone (1959): In the episode "No Time Like the Past", a time-traveler attempts to snipe Hitler during a speech from a hotel window. He had a nice clean shot, then his gun jammed. He is forced to abandon the attempt when the maid calls the police on him. It also handwaves the whole "doesn't think to go back farther" thing, as the time-traveler also attempted to prevent the sinking of the Lusitania. It doesn't work either.
The Twilight Zone (2002): In the episode "Cradle of Darkness", an agent comes back in time and kills an infant Adolf Hitler. In order not to be punished, his maid buys a beggar's baby and it is raised as Hitler, becoming the one we know.

Played with in Genius: The Transgression. You can kill Hitler, but it won't do anything (except get the Time Cops mad at you). Hitler has been killed six times over, so the setting's Time Cops started cloning him. If you head back to 1921 Hamburg, you can get a tour of the cloning facility. In an added twist, the Time Police got there a bit late — there was a Nazi party that led Germany to World War II and the Holocaust, but Hitler wasn't behind the reins first time around...
There's a very high rate of suicide among timecops who have to protect the Nazis.

In GURPS Time Travel, it is said that many new recruits to the Time Patrol ask this question: they are given more or less the same answers detailed at the top of this article.
It's also acknowledged, in a way, in the GURPS Infinite Worlds setting (which is more about crosstime travel). Some agents of Centrum (the antagonist timeline) have noticed that Homeliners get downright irrational (or even more so than usual) about timelines where Hitler exists, especially if he's winning. To Centrum, he's just another genocidal despot like so many in (other people's) history.
The GURPS WW2 sourcebook, in a passage concerning the use of Infinite Worlds and time travel, gives this very trope as an unnerving example of a quest hook, about the players having to go back in time to protect Hitler lest he gets assassinated and a far more skilled leader takes his place and wins the war for Germany.

In The World's Finest Assassin, Allen Smith is a skilled assassin who is killed by the organization he belonged to in a case of You Have Outlived Your Usefulness. His soul encounters a goddess who gives him the option of being reborn with no memories of his previous life, or he could be reborn into a medieval fantasy world while retaining his abilities and skills he acquired on Earth. The reason is that she needed him to assassinate a hero who would destroy the world after defeating the demon lord. He asks her if he could kill the hero earlier on if he was prepared enough for it, but she tells him no. She says that only the hero can defeat the demon lord, and if he dies before that happens, then the demon lord would become unstoppable, destroying that world, or at least enslaving it. When he tries a Take a Third Option of saving the hero instead, she says it's possible, but would be less likely to succeed than to just simply assassinate them.

Red Alert 3: Corona, a planned Fan Sequel Game Mod for 3, has this as the backstory: When the Empire of the Rising Sun surrendered to the Allies and Emperor Yoshiro consequently died of grief, his son Crown Prince Tatsu ordered a group of loyal Imperial scientists to recreate the Soviet time machine. Tatsu travelled back to The Middle Ages, saved Möngke Khan (one of Genghis Khan's grandsons) from a cannonball shot that would have killed him, and gave the Mongol horde access to Imperial weapons that allowed them to sweep across Europe in a Curb-Stomp Battle, in the hope of destroying western civilization and preventing the Allies and Soviets from ever rising to power. Then, he disposed of Möngke with the classic handshake of historical retconning and left the Mongols to tear themselves apart, back to the present satisfied of a job well done. On coming back, Tatsu discovers to his horror that not only do the Allies and Soviets still exist despite his attempts to wipe out their ancestors, but a new global superpower has emerged. Known as the Celestial Empire, they are equal or even superior even to the Empire of the Rising Sun and have designs to conquer Japan and perhaps the entire planet.

A non-time-travel example appears in Sanctuary. It is revealed that Druitt has killed Hitler months before D-Day, but the German high command has been using Body Doubles to make it appear that he's still alive. In fact, they are glad Hitler's gone. Druitt realizes that Germany can't be brought down simply by killing one man. Interestingly, in the pilot episode, Helen claims that Druitt is a time traveler from the future, which would make this trope true, if his backstory wasn't RetConned later into a Victorian scientist who became a teleporter after injecting vampire blood.

Feng Shui uses this trope in order to explain how superficial shifts (changes to temporal events that don't involve capturing Feng Shui sites) work in the setting. If you killed Hitler in the 19th century hoping to keep Nazism and its various atrocities from going down, it would not work, because somebody else would simply take Hitler's place.

Darren Shan's Cirque Du Freak saga plays with this idea in conversation in Sons Of Destiny. As the main character, Darren, speaks to Evanna, they converse about the time travelling powers of Mr. Tiny. Evanna says that the events of history are pre-written, only the characters can change. Darren brings up Hitler, to which Evanna says that if he was killed off some other person would replace him, keeping the main events of history in check.

The Transformers: More than Meets the Eye: Brainstorm spent several million years building a time-machine so he could go back and stop Megatron being created (partly to save a guy he had a crush on). Once he gets there, he hesitates, not just because preventing the war might stop him being created. Then Rewind kills the not-yet activated Megatron anyway, since the shenanigans have given him a glimpse of an alternate timeline where this played out, and things suck for Cybertron, which is under the genocidal rule of the Functionist Council, but it's great for everyone else, since the Decepticons never formed, never took their show on the road, and never torched entire planets in the name of expansion. Whirl then implants a Spark Brainstorm had on him in Megatron's body, out of spite for the Functionists. A later story arc then shows that in the alternate timeline the Functionists also decided to go around killing other species in the name of religious fundamentalism.

Originally the film included a scene where Deadpool used his Time Travel device to kill Baby Hitler in his crib. Subverted.

In one classic Strontium Dog prog, Johnny Alpha and Wulf travel back in time to arrest Hitler and put him on trial before the Court of Ultimate Retribution. They have to pick him up moments before his suicide however, otherwise there would be nothing to try him for.

The appropriately named graphic novel I Killed Adolf Hitler both subverts and invokes this trope as the center to its entire plot. A down-on-his-luck hitman is hired to go back in time and kill Adolf, using a time machine that is only good for one round trip. Only he bungles the job, and Hitler steals the time machine and escapes to the present. With no way back home, he's forced to live through the intervening years the normal way, waiting for the day the time machine arrives so he can stop Hitler.
During a twist of events, he loses track of Hitler in the modern day, and another fifty years have to pass before his girlfriend finally solves the plot by travelling back in time - finally killing Hitler. It is complicated.

The Iron Dream is a rather unusual example set in an Alternate History where Hitler emigrated to the US after World War I to become a Sci-Fi/fantasy author. In this world, the Soviet Union conquers all of Eurasia and Africa, but this is all background material - Spinrad instead uses Hitler's book-within-the-book The Lord of the Swastika to point out the Unfortunate Implications of Golden Age militaristic SF.

Star Trek: The Next Generation: A man claiming to be a time-travelling historian attempts to invoke this when Picard asks for his advice on their crisis of the week. Picard is profoundly unimpressed, calling it a problem for first-year philosophy students rather than reality. It turns out to be a moot point, as the historian is actually a time-travelling conman from the past.
