"Reset charges prune the affected radius of a branched timeline, allowing time to heal all its wounds. Which sounds like a nice way of saying disintegrate everything in its vicinity."
Loki[src]

The Reset Charge is a device used by the Time Variance Authority to prune branched timelines.

History[]

"Reset the timeline."

Creating the technology used by TVA-Reset Charge and TVA Holoprojector

The creation of reset charges

The Time Variance Authority use reset charges to prune alternate timelines in which Nexus events occurred in and sent its contents to the Void at the end of time.

Reset Charge on Asgard

A reset charge prunes Sylvie Laufeydottir's timeline

Among the many timelines pruned by the TVA were occupied by various Loki variants. When Sylvie Laufeydottir was taken into custody by a TVA unit, her timeline was pruned by a reset charge.[1] Additionally, when Loki was taken into custody by a TVA unit, his alternate 2012 timeline was subsequently pruned by a reset charge.[2]

Sylvie Laufeydottir uses reset charges to disrupt the Sacred Timeline

Sylvie went throughout the alternate timelines, ambushing Minutemen on their missions, and stealing their reset charges. She collected several reset charges and placed them throughout Roxxcart Mall in Haven Hills, Alabama in the year 2050. When Sylvie was found by Loki, she used a TemPad to send the reset charges through Timedoors to several alternate timelines, in order to disrupt the Sacred Timeline.[3]

Minuteman with Reset Charge

Dox and her Loyalists using reset charges to prune branching timelines

Dox and her Loyalists traveled through Timedoors and used reset charges to prune the thousands of branching timelines during their attack. Loki, Sylvie, and Mobius arrived at Dox's location and fought the Loyalists, destroying most of the reset charges while the Loyalists fled. Loki and Sylvie then joined hands and unleashed a massive blast of magic, incapacitating Dox and her men and closing all of the remaining Timedoors.[4]

Numerous reset charges being used in a Time Ripper

Numerous reset charges were utilized in the creation of the Time Ripper under the authorization of rogue TVA agent Mr. Paradox. The power of the numerous reset charges allowed for the Time Ripper to destroy an entire timeline in an instant; however, the charges, as well as the machine, were destroyed by Deadpool and Wolverine.[5]

Capabilities[]

"When we prune a branched reality, it's impossible to destroy all of its matter. So we move it to a place on the timeline where it won't continue growing. Basically, the branched timeline isn't reset. It's transferred."
Ravonna Renslayer[src]

As it is impossible to truly destroy all of the matter in an alternate reality, reset charges instead transfer these "pruned branches" of the timeline to a Void at the end of time.
