Hiram Dubois was a bonafied genius. He was also a geek and a freak thanks to hi drug using parents. Hiram hobbled due to a bad case of bowleggedness which made him look like he was permanently strapped to the back of a horse. Hiram built a time machine, one that finally proved worthy.

After he tried to explain he was given a room, institutionalized in an asylum for the mentally insane.
