Rand could rip him apart even without the Choedan Kal, but even with it he can't controll time, so he'd get his fontanelle raped as a baby.

Well, he's able to alter the nature of something responsible for driving Time itself. Actually, pretty cool theory I read a while back about if he used Balefire powered with the Choeden Kal to kill someone, I think Lanfear, and completely wipe them out of history, so she'd never have opened the Bore.

Celebi can also mess wtih time, so along with his homeboys mew, -two, charisard and mudkips they could probably kick som butt.

Hyperion isn't too bad I don't think. Fall of Hyperion on the other hand is absolute garbage. "What's that, the real villains are super-intelligent AI who live in hyperspace and have so far managed to manipulate humanity from behind the scenes for generations and have almost total control over every information network? That's okay, let's just get lots and lots of people from around the universe to co-ordinate bombing attacks on all the Hyperspace gates and that'll solve that. Wow, it worked? It's a good thing those super-intelligent AI didn't bother monitoring any communications at all, otherwise that would put a serious hole in our plot-driven conspiracy."
