As a prophet of chance, Addisson chose to use his powers for good.

American, 1920-1999. He arrives first, riding a hippopotamus -- because he is one. He receives a barometric trouser-shaper.

Like many smart young dreamers from the midwest, Addisson made his way to New York. There was a war on, everyone was jumpy. Japs could blow up the Statue of Liberty at any moment. Addisson had gotten out of the service on account of one flat foot and poor eyesight. He enrolled at NYU and life seemed to be headed towards elbow patches and pipes when got the letter that would change his life....

Along with Stimso Adid, he set the Accidental Associationalist ball in motion.
