However, they find a villain known as the Binary Bug attempting to steal bonds from Benjamin's safe. Machine Man prevents him from stealing the valuables, but the villain gets away. Grateful for his efforts, Benjamin offers him a position as an insurance investigator for Delmar Insurance. Delmar's last investigator, Joseph Rambo was fired for tampering with policy files.

Machine Man discovers that the Binary Bug is hacking into Delmar Insurance files to acquire details concerning clients' assets and then robbing those clients of those self same items. His goal is to not only acquire material wealth, but also to undermine the monetary success of his former employers at Delmar. One of the clients he attempts to rob is Khan of Xanadu. Machine Man tracks the Bug into Khan’s dirigible, but when the Bug attempts to escape, he flies downward into some high tension wires, killing himself.
