David Clinton, a petty criminal all his life, finally realised he was being arrested because he didn’t take the time to plan his crimes properly. Clinton, admiring the clockwork precision with which everything was run in prison decided he would make time work for him rather than against him. | ||||
Always fascinated by time pieces, deft with his hands, and of an inventive turn of mind, Clinton spent the remainder of his sentence labouring in the prison workshop, learning everything he possibly could about clocks and their workings. When he was finally released from prison, Clinton designed a colourful costume for himself and embarked on a new career as the time thief known as Chronos. |
