Season One (July-December 2010; Episodes 1-26)
Paragon
Paul wakes up in orbit around Earth 16, wearing an orange power ring but having no idea where it came from or how he arrived. Furthermore, although he retains his general knowledge of DC Comics, he has completely forgotten universe 16. However, adapting to his new environment, he joins the Young Justice Team for a year as a condition of being given Alan Scott's personal lantern to keep the ring charged. His presence has a variety of large and small impacts on the team's missions, including the capture or death of several villains who escaped in canon (Cheshire, Sportsmaster, Ocean Master, Ra's al-Ghul) and Wonder Woman coming to mentor and later adopt Superboy (putting him in a much healthier state than canon, where he was a lonely angry mess).
During this time, Paul also encounters the Ophidian, universal embodiment of avarice, who takes a liking to him, and he gains a soul made primarily from orange light, allowing him to achieve a state of enlightenment where he can use an orange ring without the usual psychological risks.
Renegade
The Renegade version of Paul initially appears as just a few snippets scattered throughout the episodes, showing more direct and ruthless ways that Paul could have responded to specific events. However, by the time of Reordered, those segments have become a whole Alternate Timeline, as the Renegade begins impersonating Grayven, the Apokoliptian New God of Conquest, with the help of a Father Box seized from the Apokoliptian scientist/torturer DeSaad. Father Box builds him a New God soul, which greatly strengthens his body and allows him to magically impose his will on his surroundings. The Renegade also interrupts the mind-controlled Justice League at New Year's before they can assault Rimbor.

Season Two (January-June 2011; Episodes 27-52)
Paragon
This is the beginning of the canon Time Skip, so the episodes here are all new. Paul continues to work with the Team for the remainder of his year, but also works closely with Zatanna Zatara and John Constantine in a bid to defeat the Lord of Order Nabu and free Zatanna's father from his control. Larfleeze, the insane holder of the Orange Central Power Battery, becomes aware of Paul's existence, but Paul is able to fake his own death with the help of the local Green Lanterns.
Renegade
There are three full episodes that occur primarily from the Renegade point of view, including a trip to Earth 50, where the Renegade obtains a yellow power ring, and adopts a daughter whom he rescued from Anti-Life exposure. He then ends his year of service early, by returning Alan Scott's lantern, and resigns from the Team in order to infiltrate the Light as an apparent supervillain. Though he is initially hopeful that the Light can serve humanity, he eventually gives up on them due to their supervillain attitudes, and kills all except Lex Luthor, who is left under heavy government scrutiny and privately told to find better replacements.
Other
On April 1, the Paragon Paul meets Ambush Bug and experiences visions of alternate and future versions of himself, while the Renegade meets and recruits Misa Amane and Sunset Shimmer.

Season Three (July-December 2011; Episodes 53-78)
Paragon
Having fulfilled his year of service and freed Mr Zatara, Paul heads out into space, starting with the Vega Systems, where he captures Larfleeze, recovers the Orange Central Power Battery, and works with the Controllers to establish an Orange Lantern Corps with himself as second in command. Once the Corps is established, with the initial objective of defeating the Reach Empire and reversing their expansion, Vril Dox II (the commander) sends Paul back to Earth, where he reconnects with his friends and gathers resources to fight the increasing power of Hell's demons. The Silver City takes offence at Paul's unorthodox methods, and kills him, but he is ultimately able to negotiate a treaty between them and one of the less malevolent demonic rulers, and persuades the Kings of Heaven to resurrect him.
Renegade
In the Renegade timeline, "Grayven" is visited by Darkseid, New God of Tyranny, who places a piece of the Anti-Life Equation in his soul, leaving it heavily damaged. However, after mostly recovering, he still goes to Vega, killing Larfleeze, the Citadel Empire, the Psions, the gordanians, and various pirate groups, and establishing a Lantern Corps under his direct ownership, only minimally connected with the Controllers. Returning to Earth, he re-establishes the Light with a more sane and constructive roster, including Cranius, Queen Clea, Teth Adom, Circe, The Shade, and a highly restricted Lex Luthor.
Other
The Mandated episode, in October, seems at first like a self-contained story, but in its aftermath, chapters from alternate versions of Jade Nguyen start appearing throughout the episodes. This culminates in the Red Queen version of her, who creates alternate versions and then merges with them to gain their knowledge and experience, meeting with the Time Trapper and agreeing to work with him.

Season Four (January-June 2012; Episodes 79-104)
Paragon
Paul rejoins the Team part time, though he still has work to do in space, assisting with the Orange Lantern Corps' expansion and preparations for full-scale war with the Reach Empire. On Earth, he prepares for and defeats the Sheeda Harrowing with the aid of the Sivana family.
Renegade
The Renegade continues to expand Earth's defences, including Lex Luthor building a space fleet and recovering the Kryptonian warship "Doomsday".
On April 1, he visits Equestria, where the Elements of Harmony are able to destroy the fragment of Anti-Life that Darkseid embedded in his soul, and he starts a relationship with Princess Luna. He then responds to the Sheeda invasion more immediately and forcefully than Paragon, killing the Queen and defeating the Harrowing fleet immediately, but in the process, he is sent to the far future with Artemis (who has also become a New God); they take over Sheeda civilisation and stabilise it, over a period of time that is implied to be potentially centuries, before returning to the present.
Other
The number of chapters from alternate universes increases, with at least one chapter in most episodes, but then the alternate Pauls and Jades start getting abducted by Krona the fallen Guardian, to help him study the nature of the multiverse. The Time Trapper recruits the Paragon to help stop him, and in the aftermath, the nature of time is fundamentally altered; changes to history will now produce coexisting alternate timelines instead of rewriting a single one. This also represents the first time that the Paragon and Renegade timelines have interacted, albeit they didn't meet face to face; the Renegade fights off Krona's kidnapping attempt and injures him, leaving him without his usual Maltusian abilities when hundreds of Pauls fight him together.

Season 5 (July-December 2012; Episodes 105-131)
Paragon
The war against the Reach Empire begins. After initial success in leading assaults against them, Paul is killed in a trap, but is able to return to a cloned body and continue the fight, as well as starting to teach his unusual skills to other Lanterns. Dox later asks him to step back, as the Reach are heavily targeting him for a propaganda/morale victory.
He also makes contact with Lord Malvolio of the Green Flame, a centuries-old and highly skilled Green Lantern not part of the Green Lantern Corps, who has been freed from his prison and intends to build his own organisation of green light wielders, and then visits and assists several alternate versions of Earth: universe 10, where a Nazi-controlled Earth is fighting against yet another alternate Earth (designated 666) controlled by demons, and later an Earth where the Justice Society International has taken the place of the Justice League, larger and more organised and more effective but also more brutal.
On New Year's Eve, Paul tests the Alliance of the Just's new global teleportation network, only to learn that it is connected to a source of the Anti-Life. Bruno Mannheim, of Intergang, reveals that he has been granted a portion of Darkseid's soul, and broadcasts the Anti-Life throughout the entirety of Earth's magic system to affect everyone on the planet. At the same time, Paul receives word that the Reach are launching a major offensive and he is needed soon at the front.
Renegade
The Renegade and Artemis readjust to life after their many years in the far future, and face an assault by the original Grayven of universe 16. The Renegade merges his soul with Grayven's, gaining both sets of memories and access to the Omega Force.
