## History

### Early Life

In the 1950s, the man who would become known as Paradox managed to discover special properties in quartz crystals what would allow for time travel. After receiving government funding, the scientist attempted to open a portal into the space-time continuum. However, a slight miscalculation, and an explosion accidentally caused by his panicked assistant, threw the scientist into the event horizon, where he remained for a hundred thousand years. He was displaced outside of time, where he didn't age, or have to sleep or eat; just exist. He went insane for a while, but then got bored and regained his sanity. He gained complete understanding of the space-time continuum, though he forgot his original name in the process. Managing to exit his limbo, the man became a time walker, eventually meeting Ben Tennyson and his team, where he was given the name “Paradox” by Gwendolyn Tennyson.

#### Fight with Divinity

Paradox had to fight Eon again alongside alternative versions of Ben Tennyson, Danny Fenton and Clockwork a multitude of times to prevent Eon from becoming Divinity, however Paradox, Clockwork and Eon being in the same place at the same time caused the time stream to weaken greatly and Eon took the chance to banish Paradox and Clockwork to Clockwork's tower in the ghost zone, preventing them from interfering further.
