Paul Phoenix appeared in every Tekken game so far in the series. Despite his initial setup in the first game to be a possible rival to Kazuya Mishima, as well as his serious standing in previous games, Paul, story wise, has become something of a joke character more and more. This is quite obviously evidenced by the fact that he is rivals with joke characters (Kuma I and II). Paul also had a comic relief ending in Tekken 5. Nevertheless, he is among the most popular and well loved Tekken characters.
