User blog comment:Mr. Waddle Dee/Tex's special ability/@comment-3496661-20160826192637

Meta already had the invisibility armor enhancement before he captured Tex. He's seen using it in Watch the Flank but has trouble doing so because he didn't have any AI to run his equipment. After he captured Tex in Revelation he had the necessary AI to finally run his equipment properly. Gamma can't time travel, it's revealed in Tenth Percentile that the time travel stuff was a simulation. Also, you could argue that, like other AIs, Gamma was simply running the equipment that allowed Church to go back in time. It's not his special ability.
