Nimbus also had ties to the black market, with his enforcers running operations. He was a genius intelect with a background in chemistry, able to replicate the Miraclo formula with an additional component that would make the user become his mindless servant. Nimbus supplied this formula to Hourman, making him his unwilling security officer.

Whilst working late in his office, he was unphased by Batman smashing through the roof, sarcastically asking if he had not considered using the front door. Asked to identify himself to the vigilante, he mockingly claimed to recognise him, listing off several heroes before telling the unamused Batman that he knew that all along and was just trying to make a joke. Demanding to know why Batman was there, adding that he was going to be charging him for a replacement skylight, he listened coldly as the hero told him that his company was to be shut down.
He retorted to Batman's claims that his monoploly over power cells was leading to an increase in crime in Gotham by reminding him that it was a free market, remarking that all he did was produce an item that was needed by all and had no control of what happened to it after trading. He sneered at the hero, musing that he was providing a service to the people, no matter how dangerous the power cells were.
Stating that Batman had no authority to shut down his company, Kyle called for the meta-human Hourman to come in, adding that since had suspected one of the Wonders would try and disrupt his operations, he would form a partnership with Tyler as his own security officer to protect him.
Nimbus sat back and watched as Hourman and Batman fought with each other, however soon got bored and decided he would get out of the crossfire. As he left, he casually told Batman that Hourman was working for him because of mind control, before demanding that the meta-human cleaned up his office after he had killed the vigilante.
He smirked at Batman's reaction to the discovery of his meta-human abilities, throwing the batarang that went straight through him back at the hero and piercing his arm.

Fighting back against Red Arrow and Ted Grant, who had followed him on Batman's instructions, he arrogantly belittled them for not being able to hit him. With a powerful right hook, he sent Grant hurtling across the room, before continuing to mock them in his gaseous form.
Knocking Red Arrow down to the ground, Nimbus began punching Ted continuously, remarking that his increased tolerance for pain from his boxing days was impracticable and stupid. However, he was so focused on Grant that he allowed could not avoid a taser arrow being fired into his back by Red Arrow.
Left unconscious by the two heroes, Nimbus was taken into the custody.
