Wikipedia wrote: John Titor is a pseudonym used on several bulletin boards during 2000 and 2001 by a poster claiming to be an American military time traveler from 2036. Titor made numerous vague and specific predictions regarding calamitous events in 2004 and beyond, including a nuclear war. Inconsistencies in his explanations, the uniform inaccuracy of his predictions, and a private investigator's findings all led to the general impression that the entire episode was an elaborate hoax. A 2009 investigation concluded that Titor was likely the creation of Larry Haber, a Florida entertainment lawyer, along with his brother Morey, a computer scientist.
In 2004, the John Titor Foundation published a book, John Titor: A Time Traveler's Tale (ISBN 1-59196-436-9), discussing his claims; the book is now out of print.
The 2009 visual novel Steins;Gate, which was adapted into an anime in 2011, heavily features time travel and has John Titor as a major part of the plot. In the story, Titor is revealed to be the online alias of a character who traveled to the past to prevent an arms race.
In shonen supernatural horror manga Magical Girl Apocalypse, it was referenced.
In an issue of The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl, John Titor is listed in the Deadpool's Guide to Super Villains card set as an alias of Kang the Conqueror.

Re: John Titor
As its a topic of conversation that's come back up here at home, especially as my youngest has taken an interest in the anime Steins;Gate, thought I'd update the thread with a link to the Visual Novel, OVA and a "real" message sent back from 2057.
