Paris was a prince of Troy, son of King Priam and Queen Hecuba, and younger brother of Prince Hector. His elopement with Helen, wife of King Menelaus of Sparta, sparked the Trojan War.[2]

During the Trojan War Paris killed Achilles, the greatest warrior of the Greek army, with a poisoned arrow aimed right at his heel, his only vulnerable spot.[3] Later, the archer Philoctetes also killed him with an arrow.[4][1]

Paris is one of a long list of reincarnations of the powerful Spectre's villain Cap'n Skull, among which is Emperor Commodus of Rome, always reincarnating among descendants of the same family line of perfidious men--except for his most recent incarnation, Ambassador Joseph Clanton, who is a good man.[1]
