While working as an engineer in Guyana, Robert Paxton was the victim of sabotage and exposed to a gas that left him in a coma for weeks. But when he woke up, Bob discovered that what he dreamed of ended up coming true. Using this as an incalculable strategic advantage, Paxton became the Oracle, a masked adventurer who became the scourge of criminals and saboteurs. Lana Owens, foreman of Arrow Aircraft, became his confidant, his adventure partner, and ultimately the love of his life and his wife. Paxton was one of the founding members of the Crime Busters and was also part of the Battle Squadron. Although it is a very little known fact, Robert Paxton had a protégé, a boy named Nemo McCay, who also possessed paranormal abilities related to dreams.
