Nitroman (NITRO) was the name Brad provided to the Avengers after reading through Robert's file.
As the first superhero to face this newly emerged supervillain, Brad naturally earned the right to name him.
Against such a dangerous opponent, especially when no one knew the maximum power of Nitroman's self-detonation, the Avengers needed to stay on high alert.
Especially after the Punisher failed as well, capturing the fugitive Robert shot straight up their list of priorities.
The duo of Captain Marvel, Mar-Vell, and Speed, Bu Lai, became one of the main teams hunting Robert.
Mar-Vell explained that he had studied Earth's superheroes, and almost every one of them had a supervillain as a primary opponent, or nemesis. It seemed to be some sort of tradition among Earth's superheroes.
It might be an opponent they met right after their debut, or a formidable enemy who suddenly appeared during an otherwise uneventful career.
In any case, since Robert had blown Bu Lai up and seriously injured him on his very first heroic mission, everyone assumed Bu Lai would inevitably clash with Nitroman for one reason or another.
Brad actually had no particular interest in Nitroman. His injuries had been an act, and he had personally transformed Nitroman.
But now that Captain Marvel, Mar-Vell, had gotten involved, Brad had a new plan.
The original sin virus had already spread, subtly changing the personalities of everyone infected and continually magnifying their worst traits.
But Brad did not want to wait for the original sin virus to develop slowly. He needed to achieve his goal quickly without sacrificing stability.
That was why Brad had been creating emotional flashpoints for the original sin virus.
Through these flashpoints, he would rapidly steer Earth-10011 toward his ideal state.
