A traveller of realms
$begingroup$
He is mortal to one,
He is divine to another,
He is a slave to time,
And yet he is beyond its grasps,
Incomprehensible to one,
Yet simple to another.
Who is he?
Hint:
He exists in real life.

I think he is
Thor
He is mortal to one,
mortal for his own realm
He is divine to another,
but divine for people on earth
He is a slave to time,
He cannot escape time as he will grow old as his father
And yet he is beyond its grasps,
he can travel through his gate(a warm hole) avoiding the huge time (and not very sure though, time in asgard is relatively very slow as compared to earth)
Incomprehensible to one,
to humans
Yet simple to another
i.e., to his own people
$endgroup$
$begingroup$
Wow, you are really, really close. The time aspect is still a bit off, but the first and last two are matching in terms of what I was trying to get at. Keep it up ;)

Is he:
The Doctor from Doctor Who
He is mortal to one,
He "dies" every so often...
He is divine to another,
... only to be reincarnated as the new Doctor Who
He is a slave to time,
He moves through time...
And yet he is beyond its grasps,
...but he's a time lord.
Incomprehensible to one,
Play on the name Doctor Who...
Yet simple to another.

But I think the expected answer is Jesus Christ. The clues refer to Jesus' dual nature as God and man and this is either simple or incomprehensible depending on whether or not you believe. If this is the answer, though , I'm not sure it qualifies as a riddle.
