Professor Paradox

**Professor Paradox** is a time traveling professor who can travel anywhere in space or time, within reason. While he forgot his true name from centuries being trapped in a separate reality, he now goes by the name "Professor Paradox," after taking a liking to being referred to as such.

## Personality

Paradox is portrayed as a calm, easy-going man. He talks much like a stereotypical scientist, with dialogue requiring a greater command of the English language to fully understand. When he was displaced outside of time, he went insane; however, millennia later, he "got bored of that, too" and became sane. "Very sane."

In his first appearance, Swampfire tried to capture Paradox (not knowing whether he was friend or foe), but he always "teleported" to a place a few meters away. When Swampfire asked how he did that, the calm Paradox replied: "It's called walking". He really likes gumballs and is often seen offering to anyone he meets.

Paradox has a habit of getting events that haven't happened yet (from the perspective of the viewer and those he's talking to) and those that have (from his perspective) mixed up, due to his travels through time.

Paradox's calm personality also makes it difficult to tell when he's joking or not, such as telling Kevin that if his replacement car (factory new from the past) came in contact with anything else from the same year it was made, it would "explode like anti-matter."

## Powers and Abilities

Due to his time in entrapment for several millennia, Paradox has an indepth understanding of the space-time continuum. This allows him to travel to any point in space and time, as well as slowing down or speeding up time as he pleases. However, he states that there are places he cannot go and things he cannot do, though what restricts him is not yet explained. Paradox's abilities are not limited to this universe, having visited other universes and the space between them.
Paradox is able to regress a person's age, but seems incapable of doing it on something mechanical, instead having to pull it physically out of the past.

Paradox is capable of teleporting people, objects and even places like the Forge of Creation to almost any destination instantaneously without any trouble. However, he does have to follow certain rules; for example, he cannot bring the past and future versions of an individual together unless absolutely necessary.

Additionally, Paradox's time travel powers have left him biologically immortal, leaving him unaffected by accelerated aging fields, nor does he need to eat or sleep.

Paradox is capable of reverting Ben from an alien back to his human form as he did to Alien X in *The Forge of Creation*.

## Weaknesses

There are places in existence Paradox cannot reach with his powers, such as before the beginning of time.

Paradox had admitted that he does not lie and Eon has confirmed this.

Getting control of Paradox's Chrono Navigator might give one an advantage over him, though this has proven to be a double-edged sword, as Eon almost destroyed all reality when he tried to use it.

## TMNT X Pokemon

Professor Paradox is one of the many villains you'll face throughout the game. He's one of the easiest on the difficulty scale.

## Trivia

* Due to the nature of his abilities, it is difficult to tell exactly what order the events of the series take place, from his perspective. During his introductory episode he was already familiar with Ben, Gwen and Kevin, and later events in the series. His first meeting with them (from his perspective) has never been shown.
* Dwayne McDuffie confirmed that Professor Paradox was inspired by The Doctor(especially the Tenth Doctor) of the British television show *Doctor Who*. Some similarities include their time traveling abilities, character traits (such as dislike of guns and offering confectionery), neither being known by their real name, use of the same phrases, and being associated with a fobwatch.
* The pop-up trivia version of ***Ben 10: Race Against Time*** states that Paradox also stopped Eon prior to the events of the film.
