Edward subsequently accused Gorman of sabotaging the device and decided to get vengeance years later by booby trapping Gorman's house with deadly puzzles and traps, turning his house into a death trap. During the demonstration of the device to the dean, though, the device malfunctioned. During the development stages of the device, a man named Gorman kept trying to get Edward to sell the right of the invention to him, an offer which Edward refused.


When he was older, Edward got a job at a university where he and his partner (and possible love interest) Julie invented a device which would enhance the human brain, giving its user amazing brain power. His father was confused by and jealous of his son's intelligence, and belittled him. As a child, Edward Nigma was a clever boy who was disliked by his father.
