So many people talk about the morality of time travel assassinations but no one talks about the how best to give it some pizzazz in such a way that the people in the new timeline have a fun mystery to speculate about. It might be tempting to act all serious and emotional in a way that contrasts with the fact that you just shot a man who as far as everyone’s concerned committed no crime more serious than being in a monkey movie, but then everyone will dismiss you as just being a crazy person. You can act calm and collected while giving some predictions about the future, but there’s always the possibility that they’ll be negated by the changes you made to history. You could try to get caught on camera saying some dramatic line about this being the only way to save the future before slamming a button on your Time Travel Wrist Thing and disappearing, but then everyone will know for certain about time travel which would open a huge can of worms and that wouldn’t be fun at all. Better to do it after being chased into an alley or something so you only have a few eyewitnesses.

There’s also the matter of clothing. It might be fun to dress up in a retrofuturist cosplay; the people in the 1950s were all over that sort of thing, but you could also just wear regular modern clothing with a reference to something modern, like a band t-shirt. Make it a band that would name themselves after a mysterious phrase printed on the shirt of a mysterious person who may or may not have been I time traveler, I’d suggest Muse.
