Growing frustrated with the process and TVA new status quo of not pruning, he created a timeline-killing device known as a "Time Ripper" to mercy-kill the timeline. He extracts Deadpool to offer him a place on Earth-616 but Deadpool refuses and steals his TemPad to travel the multiverse in search of a Wolverine variant to prevent his world's destruction; he eventually brings a variant to the TVA, but Paradox labels him the "worst" Wolverine in the multiverse as he let down his entire world and prunes both of them which sends them to the Void where they meet Charles Xavier's sister Cassandra Nova, the self-declared ruler of the Void. Paradox’s plan is eventually exposed when his sleeper agent Pyro attempts to kill Nova, who then travels to Earth-10005 to capture Paradox and takes control of the Time Ripper to destroy all timelines except for the Void. After Deadpool and Wolverine destroy the Time Ripper, which also kills Nova, Paradox is arrested by his superior Hunter B-15.
