[edit] Fictional character biography
Paul Destine was born in Kansas City, Missouri. He found the Helmet of Power in Antarctica. As a test of its power, he destroyed the Atlantean civilizations beneath Antarctica, killing the Sub-Mariner's mother and grandfather.
As Destiny he fought the Sub-Mariner and was a pawn of Set, who was instrumental in causing the Sub-Mariner's temporary amnesia prior to the Silver Age of Comic Books. He eventually went mad, and, years later, attempted to mentally enslave the American population. After failing to defeat the Namor the Sub-Mariner, Destine lept off a roof and fell to his death, claiming he could levitate without the Helmet.[1]
[edit] Powers and abilities
Destiny possessed superhuman strength when wearing the Serpent Crown. He had telepathy and mental powers which were vastly enhanced by the Serpent Crown.
