History:
Virtually nothing is known about the background of the mercenary who calls himself Paladin. It is not known why he decided to become a paid adventurer, or where he got the special weaponry he uses. In his first recorded exploit, he encountered Daredevil while both were on the trail of the Purple Man. While Daredevil had become personally involved through certain victims of the Purple Man, Paladin had been hired by one of the Purple Man’s former minions. Paladin and Daredevil crossed paths twice as they worked separately on the case, until on their third encounter they joined forces. The Purple Man eluded them both, however, when he fell into the water around Ryker’s Island Prison and presumably drowned.
Paladin was then hired by a woman named Marsha Roberts who wanted protection from her former boyfriend who had been transformed into a radioactive madman calling himself Phantasm. Paladin was next observed at the Caribbean island resort of Utopia Cay, where he had been hired by a consortium of casino owners who wished for him to apprehend Baron Brimstone who had been robbing their casinos. While on this case, he met the vacationing Janet Van Dyne, whose identity as the Wasp is publicly known, and they began seeing each other romantically. In their most recent encounter, Paladin assisted the Wasp in apprehending foes of the Avengers, despite the fact he was not being paid for it.
