Origin
The man know as Paradox was a normal citizen of central city named Chris. He had a wife and two kids and he was smart enough to discover than his reality was part of a bigger multiverse. After investigating how that worked, he was trapped in the paradoxical effect of a fight of Flash and the future version of the man known as the Turtle. As an after effect of that battle, he along with several other witnesses of the fight were banished to a limbo outside time and space. Along with his companions, Paradox built a machine than would permit them return to their world. However as time passed in that reality, they changed into inhuman forms. Then Paradox betrayed the other survivors because the machine needed the energy of the other people to work.
Paradox returned to the his universe, but he was detained by the Renegades from the Century 25. However he was capable of freeing himself to get his revenge on the person who has made more damage to the timestream: Barry Allen.
