Appearance

Professor Paradox has fair skin, grey eyes, and black hair.

In Conflicting Force and Ultimate Alien, he wore a white lab coat over a white shirt with a brown vest and black necktie, blackness pants, and black shoes. He also wore goggles with dark-green lenses around his neck.

In Omniverse, his outfit has been modified. Despite not being able to age, his hair is gray on the sides and he has wrinkles on his confront. His white lab coat at present has brown and blackness pouches and aureate trim, and underneath, he wears a black turtleneck with a white scarf, and his brown vest has aureate buttons and pouches. He has a new pair of goggles around his cervix, the Chrono Navigator bearded every bit a metal gauntlet on his right mitt and a fingerless glove on his left. His black pants now take brown kneepads, and he wears a pair of brown boots with gold straps.

Personality

Paradox is portrayed as a at-home, easy-going man. He talks much similar 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; withal, millennia after, he "got bored of that, besides" and became sane. "Very sane."^[1]

In his first advent, Swampfire tried to capture Paradox (non knowing whether he was friend or foe), but he ever "teleported" to a place a few meters abroad. When Swampfire asked how he did that, the calm Paradox replied "It'south called walking". He also likes gumballs and is often seen offering them to anyone he meets.

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

Paradox's calm personality also makes it difficult to tell when he'southward joking or not, such equally 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."

History

Background

At some point, Professor Paradox was working for Expanse 51. Information technology is unknown what his task was exactly, but it had something to exercise with the conflicting prisoners there. In the flashback portion of Blukic and Driba Go to Area 51, Paradox was called by Colonel Rozum to assist with the investigation about Blukic and Driba'due south fall on Earth.

Paradox and his assistant Hugo before the accident

Having discovered special backdrop in quartz crystals during the 1950s, Paradox received regime funding to break a hole in the space-time continuum. However, a slight miscalculation and an explosion accidentally caused past his panicked assistant Hugo threw Paradox into the result horizon, where he remained for a hundred thousand years.

Paradox was displaced outside of time, where he lost the ability to age and was unable to sleep or eat; only exist. He went insane for a while, but then got bored and regained his sanity. Gaining consummate understanding of the infinite-fourth dimension continuum, Paradox renamed himself "Professor Paradox", though he forgot his original name in the process.

Paradox used his understanding to travel across time, making unlike parts of history better for others. He as well claimed he would help Ben Tennyson save the "whole unabridged universe".

Conflicting Strength

Professor Paradox first appears in Paradox, where he learns that the accident sent an extra-dimensional brute fifty years from the time of the experiment. He traveled to the Alien Force time to stop information technology, meeting Ben'southward younger self. It was at this point that he gained his new moniker, with Gwen bringing it up as the proper name of his original time travel projection. Later on a few fights with the creature, Ben told Paradox to have them all back to when the blow took place.

It is eventually discovered that the creature was a frightened and confused Hugo, who was turning everything to dust. By preventing Hugo from existence sucked into the event horizon, it negated his fourth dimension-accelerating existence. After returning to Ben's present, Paradox was stoked that he did not see it in the first place. When an older Hugo turned up, Paradox greeted him and took him to a "behind-the-scenes look" at eternity. Paradox left the trio one last gift, Kevin'southward regressed car, factory new from 1976. Nonetheless, a note warns him that if the car comes in contact with anything from that era, it will explode like antimatter. Nonetheless, this was simply a joke.^{[DM 1]}

In State of war of the Worlds, Paradox meets upwards with Azmuth, who greets him as "Fourth dimension Walker", just equally the Highbreed begin to invade Galvan Prime. Paradox convinces Azmuth to escape the planet'southward devastation, before meeting upwards with Ben. He informs Ben of the impending crisis, who resorts to gathering all the allies he fabricated. Paradox aids Gwen and Kevin in recruiting Alan, Cooper and Darkstar to help in the fight, by teleporting them to the correct location. He then joins Ben's Team and partakes in the following battle against the Highbreed. Here he displays the ability to boring downward time using his picket, allowing him to move at high speeds and have out a large number of DNAliens. Afterward he accepts a gun fabricated past Cooper and uses it to plough DNAliens back into humans.

Paradox informs Gwen about the consequences of her meddling with time

In Time Heals, Paradox tries to terminate Gwen from travelling back in time to terminate Kevin from mutating but is unable to persuade her. Later on Gwen succeeds in her endeavor, she returns to the present to discover a post-apocalyptic world enslaved by Hex and Charmcaster. Paradox appears once again and informs her that she is the cause of all this, as well equally telling her that "fourth dimension travelling is for immortals and fools".

Paradox proceeded to bring Gwen upwards to date with the events of this alternate hereafter, which end up with Ben getting captured, Kevin becoming enslaved by Charmcaster, and Gwen being killed. A shocked and guilt-ridden Gwen attempts to repair the impairment she has washed, to which Paradox cautions her to exist conscientious, only to observe she has already left. He smiles knowingly and states that "youth never listen". Later on Gwen manages to call up the volume with the fourth dimension travelling spell, and manages to fix her mistake, Paradox appears once more than in the restored nowadays. Gwen asks him whether there is any more trouble, to which he states that everything is fine before vanishing.

Ultimate Conflicting

In Ultimate Aggregor, Paradox appears to tell the team near Aggregor'south plan on using the Chronologger to help him absorb the powers of the five Andromeda aliens and gives Kevin some communication near his future earlier vanishing. It is too revealed he divided the Map of Infinity into four pieces in the past.

In Perplexahedron, information technology is revealed Paradox created the planet Perplexahedron to hide the final piece of the Map of Infinity from those who would misuse its power.

In The Forge of Cosmos, Paradox took Ben and his team towards the Forge of Creation. Later Aggregor was defeated and Ultimate Kevin left, Paradox returned ten-twelvemonth-old Ben back to his own time.

In Ben ten,000 Returns, Paradox visited Ben 10,000 and helped him and present Ben's team foil Eon's evil programme. After Eon was defeated, he asked Ben 10,000 to restore Swampfire, Ultimate Swampfire, and Way Big. In the process, Ben regains every alien he has ever turned into. Paradox as well gives a alert to Ben's team about Onetime George and the creature from across before leaving with Ben 10,000.

Omniverse

Onetime in his life, Paradox was busy fighting in a Time State of war, during which Ben 10,000 accidentally cut off his right hand.^{[DJW one]} As he replaced it with a robotic prosthetic, he disguised his Chrono Navigator as the prosthetic itself for safekeeping. Paradox likewise underwent a "Steampunk general makeover" and managed to trap Eon in the Main Timeline to prevent him from crossing into others to crusade anarchy.

In So Long, and Thanks for All the Smoothies, Paradox became aware that the universe was destroyed by the Annihilargh and replaced with a near-identical i created past Conflicting X.^{[DJW 2]}

In Ben Again, Paradox responds to Eon switching the minds of 11-year-former Ben and 16-yr-old Ben. He goes five years into the past to talk with 16-year-old Ben following Max's alert him non to requite spoilers well-nigh the future. He informs Ben of his involvement in the Time War are the reason for his missing hand and that he has gone to great lengths to prevent Eon from causing havoc. However, Eon finds him and cuts off his right hand, which is really his disguised Chrono Navigator, and takes him to the finish of time^{[DJW 3]} to exist interrogated.

Every bit Paradox is not a liar, Eon knows he does non have the Chrono Navigator with him and goes to take it from 11-year-old Ben. When Eon begins to use the Chrono Navigator to bring his minions into the main timeline, time begins falling apart. He is freed from his shackles thanks to both eleven-year-old and 16-year-onetime Gwen. Instructing both Bens to utilize Clockwork to place Eon between both periods of time, the timeline is restored to normal, and all memory of the event is erased.

Ben 10,000 later comes looking for Paradox in 16-twelvemonth-old Ben'south era, saying that the Chronosapiens have gone rogue and Maltruant'southward beasts are on an interdimensional rampage, saying this time war is getting out of paw.

In And so There Were None, Paradox learns that Eon and Vilgax are abducting and brainwashing alternate Bens into serving them. He and Ben Prime travel to No Sentry Ben's timeline and are surprised that there is no Omnitrix in that universe. They are confronted past Vilgax and Eon's evil Bens, who are countered by several alternating Bens. Equally the battle rages, Paradox vanishes, returning only after Vilgax sets off a Chronosapien Fourth dimension Bomb, wiping out every timeline but No Watch Ben's. Paradox pulls No Spotter Ben out of Vilgax's grasp and tells him they accept to restart Ben Prime number's timeline.

In And So There Was Ben, Paradox brings No Watch Ben to Vilgax's ship on the day Ben Prime institute the Omnitrix and directs him to ensure events happen the manner they originally did. With that done, they brainstorm recruiting the alternate Bens for the previous battle against Vilgax and Eon. Paradox leaves No Watch Ben behind, and then returns to send him to the moment afterward he pulled him away from Vilgax. When the villains are defeated, Paradox returns all the alternating Bens to their ain timelines.

In Let's Do the Time State of war Again, Paradox and Ben 10,000 come to the present to observe that fourth dimension has stopped (due to a clash of energies between Feedback and a Fourth dimension Beast). They travel farther back in an effort to prevent this from happening. They rebuild the wreckage of Rook's Proto-TRUK and Ben's Tenn-Speed into Time Cycles, using them to salvage Ben and Rook when the battle with the Time Animal goes amiss once more (due to Gravattack accidentally creating a black pigsty). They travel back to the aforementioned fourth dimension as before, where Ben and Rook assistance their past selves, and use their Time Cycles to revert the Time Fauna dorsum into an egg. Paradox takes the past Ben and Rook back in fourth dimension to "close the loop."

In The Hush-hush of Dos Santos, Paradox appears to Ben, Rook, and Kai Greenish in The Temple of The Sky, revealing that the antiquity they had been seeking was one of Maltruant's parts, which Paradox had scattered through time subsequently Maltruant's defeat. The part they found was the main spring, which Paradox had hidden in the temple years ago, under the protection of Ujin. When Exo-Skull attacks, Paradox tells Kai he cannot do anything. Afterwards Exo-Skull is defeated, Paradox takes Ujin back home.

In A New Dawn, Paradox gives Ben and Rook a Time Animal egg, which powers up their Time Cycles enough to follow Maltruant to a place even Paradox cannot reach: before the beginning of the universe. Following Maltruant'due south defeat, Paradox reveals that the villain is unknowingly trapped in a time loop, doomed to be defeated again and again, with Paradox hiding his parts each time. Paradox asks Ben and Rook to help hide Maltruant's parts before he returns them habitation.

Powers and Abilities

Due to his time in entrapment for several millennia, Paradox has an in-depth understanding of the space-time continuum. This allows him to travel to any point in space and time, likewise as slowing down or speeding up time as he pleases. However, he states that there are places he cannot go and things he cannot practice,^[3] though what restricts remains unknown.

Paradox can manipulate his ain personal time, allowing him to simulate super-speed. His abilities are not limited to this universe, having visited other universes and the infinite between them. He tin can likewise completely stop time.^{[DJW iv]}

Paradox is able to backslide a person's age, but seems incapable of doing it on something mechanical, instead having to pull information technology physically out of the past.^[1]

Paradox is capable of teleporting people, objects and fifty-fifty places like the Forge of Creation to almost whatsoever destination instantaneously without any trouble. He might even exist able to teleport buildings or entire planets.^{[DJW five]} However, he does take to follow certain rules; for example, he cannot bring the past and futurity versions of an individual together unless absolutely necessary.

Paradox's fourth dimension 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 conflicting dorsum to his homo form equally he did to Alien Ten.^[iii] Though information technology is possible Paradox can simply pull Ben back in time to earlier he transformed, while allowing him to return memories that would have existed.

Paradox possesses enhanced strength and agility, as he was able to fight on par with Eon.^[4]

Paradox tin run into the faces of Toepick'south species conspicuously. It is not an unknowable horror to him, therefore he is able to overcome his initial fears.^{[DJW 6]}

Weaknesses

There are places in existence Paradox cannot accomplish with his powers, such as before the beginning of time. Still, with that said, Paradox is nonetheless able to travel to the first and final moments of time.

Paradox had admitted that he does not lie and Eon has confirmed this.^[4] Though he tin circumvent this with clever wordplay to misdirect others.

Getting control of Paradox'due south Chrono Navigator might requite ane an reward over him, though this has proven to be a double-edged sword, as Eon virtually destroyed all reality when he tried to utilize it.^[iv]

If all of Paradox is in i point of space and time, he can be affected past a Nemuina's sleeping dust.^{[DJW seven]}
