Doctor James Hermandez, previously erased from the space time continuum for disputing the possibility of erasure from the space time continuum, was reanimated after scientists prevented his grandfather's death. Upon his return, Hermandez went on to dispute the impossibility of returning to space-time following complete erasure. Consequently, scientists went back in time again, and killed themselves before they could stop themselves from killing Doctor Hermandez' grandfather. The scientists went to their death with the certainty there would be no more Doctor Hermandez. Unfortunately, it turned out that Doctor Hermandez was adopted and faked his previous erasure by hiding in a rubbish bin.
