Nathan Bowen married a woman named Melissa and had a daughter together, Tandy. They lived a normal and comfortable life with Nathan gaining a job at the Roxxon Oil Corporation. His wife at one point had an accident that required her to be on pain medication, however, this had the side effect of her being increasingly addicted to them.

Death
Late one night, after ballet practice was done, Tandy called Nathan at work in order for him to pick her up. He picked her up in the middle of a rain storm and drove her home. On the way he received a phone call from work. He had an intense conversation with the other person on the line, saying that a Roxxon oil rig was unstable and that Roxxon was being negligent with the platform. Nathan was so focused on the conversation that his driving became reckless. Just then the oil rig collapsed and exploded, setting off a series of events that to a truck slamming into the car that contained Tandy and Nathan. This sent both of them into the lake water below and knocked Nathan unconscious. As the car sunk further into the lake Tandy cried for her dad to help her. Water was quickly filling up the car and Tandy started pounding on the glass until a hand from an unknown boy reached out and pulled from the car through unknown means. Nathan was left in the car to drown and die.

Post-Mortem
Nathan Bowen was used by Roxxon as a scapegoat for the events surrounding the collapse of the platform. They called him a mad scientist whose experiments led to the collapse and Roxxon had nothing to do with the collapse. The corporation then began seizing the family's assets, leading them to a life of poverty, crime and drugs.
