A dimensional traveler is any character who can (more or less) freely travel between various planes of existence (“Another Dimension”), like parallel universes (“Alternative Universe”), etc. Their ability to travel is usually powered by an “Interdimensional Travel Device” or some form of “Functional Magic”, but sometimes it’s just a matter of knowing how to navigate the multiversal “Portal Network”, or they may even have been inherently born with such an ability. It’s worth noting that most characters who get “Trapped in Another World” are not one of these; if they were, they wouldn’t be trapped, they could just use their power to return home. Unless, of course, they used their power to come to the other world, but somehow lost it after arriving. This is also a common explanation for “Crossovers”, as occasionally the characters will arrive in the universe of another hero. Distinct from “Time Travel” because, although Time is considered the “fourth dimension”, time travelers otherwise remain in the same plane while hopping between its different time periods… ~ Dimensional Traveler – TV Tropes
