Who is Pariah?

Origin Pariah, a brilliant scientist who discovered a weather-control system and "conquered all disease" from his Earth, discovered the existence of a M ultiverse and an antimatter universe. He wanted to learn the secrets and origins of the Earth and would do anything to find them out. He was warned against doing so by his world's scientific council, but claimed that knowledge was more important than his world's legends. He also neglected his wife and children in pursuit of his ambition, something which now haunts him many years later. He built an antimatter chamber to see how Earth was formed, and watched the beginning of time play before his eyes. But by stepping into the antimatter chamber, he set off a chain reaction which destroyed his Universe. He learned that positive matter and antimatter could not live together. And as it happened, the world's most brilliant scientist destroyed all life except himself because he was in the anti-matter chamber.
