After a freak accident involving 4 different trucks, Nigel Nathenson was beheaded, and his body was transformed into an immortal monstrosity containing four different elements. Being headless and unintentionally destructive, Nigel couldn't find a job or fit in to society. After carving a face into a rock, Nigel went under the new name "Vile" and descended into a life of crime. He was deemed a threat by M.A.T.T.E. due to his immortality and villainous intentions.
