Background/History: Nathan was a lawyer working with the District Attorney's office. The District Attorney wanted to expose the Mafia connections of his father's client, Mister Linderman. As he was driving his wife home from a party in a convertible, another vehicle repeatedly struck his car. Nathan inadvertently flew from his car after one of the strikes, causing the car to lose control and veer off the freeway. The resulting crash caused a significant spinal injury in his wife, Heidi, for which Nathan has blamed himself ever since.

Six months later, Nathan is running for Congress in a district of New York City.

Powers/Tactics: Nathan possesses the power of self-propelled flight. He first discovered his power when he apparently used it inadvertently to save himself from the same car crash which left his wife wheelchair-bound. Though he has not used the power much in the series, he did use it to save a woman from a burning building in an official webcomic. In Hiros, he also broke the sound barrier using his power. Despite a rough landing afterward, this may be a sign that he is beginning to hone his ability, or that his power is increasing on its own. Currently, Nathan is very reluctant to use his ability, saying that he is afraid of both being seen as a freak and taken in for scientific study.
