The second Gearhead is Nathaniel Finch, a former engineer at General Robotics.[2] After kidnapping his boss' daughter Gloria Osteen, he encounters Batman, falls into Gotham's waters, and is presumed dead before Doctor Bascomb rescues him and gives him prosthetics to replace his frostbitten limbs.[3] Subsequently, he attempts to get revenge on Batman, only to be repeatedly foiled.[4]

In No Man's Land, Gearhead competes for control of Gotham after it is ravaged by an earthquake, during which he allies with the thug Tommy Mangles.[5] The two are later defeated by Robin and arrested.[6]

Gearhead appears in the miniseries Rush City, where he is physically attached to his car and allies with Arthur Bellingame before being defeated by Rush and Black Canary.[7]

In Infinite Crisis, Gearhead joins Alexander Luthor Jr.'s Secret Society of Super Villains.[8]
