History: (Dial H #3, 5, 11-13) - The Fixer came from the dimension of the Exchange, the home of H-Dial technology that granted users the power to transform into a unique superhero. O was exiled from the Exchange and brought H-Dials to Earth, with Fixer tasked with hunting them down and deactivating them. He sensed two new users on the line, Manteau and Nelson Jent, and when the opportunity presented itself he arrived on Earth. The villain Ex Nihilo was using Manteau's H-Dial and he deactivated it while she was in flight, resulting in her death. Rogue Canadian government operative the Centipede used the leader of a cult that worshipped the H-Dial to bring the Fixer to Earth, telling him that Jent and Manteau both still had H-Dials. Under Centipede's guidance he chased them around the world. Centipede and Fixer fought, because Fixer wanted his help, but didn't want him touching Jent and Manteau's dials. The Dial Bunch, a group of H-Dial users, and Open-Window Man, were seeking out Jent and Manteau, and rescued them. . They lured the villains to Black Maple labs, where Centipede had opened a gateway to the Exchange, and pushed Centipede and Fixer through the doorway before closing it. Centipede's lab assistant told them they gave his superior exactly what he wanted, Fixer promised Centipede he'd take him to the Exchange in return for disabling Jent and Manteau's dial. Fulfilling Fixers quest involved traveling to different dimensions and causing genocide. The dial Bunch recovered the J-Dial that would let them jump between dimensions. Long ago Captain Random ripped it from the Fixer as he killed her.

(Dial H #14, 15) - The Fixer and Centipede captured Jent, and brought him to the Operator, who let him transform in Monodon Seer so he could read his mind. The Exchange arose from the fraying of parallel worlds, and the need to patch them. They designed the dials to copy objects and creatures from different dimensions, but some of the dials stole the original's powers, and the other dimensions declared war. During the war a fracture in the Exchange spilled dials to neighboring dimensions, including Earth. Operator was exiled for being a proponent of all-out war, but in his exile the Exchange fell, and he would avenge it by destroying the dimensions that rose against the Exchange with his D-Dial that summoned doomsday. Jent's allies came for him, but the Operator short-circuited Dwan, and Centipede killed Bansa. The Fixer thought the Operator had gone too far, and tried to stop him, but O simply shut him off. He could also shut down Jent's dial until Manteau rewired it so it summoned mash-up heroes. He held off Operator, who had to summon more and more dial power to battle him, until Open-Window Man and Manteau took out the Exchange's remaining safety precautions. The Operator overloaded, exploding and destroying himself along with the Centipede. The heroes were stranded in the Exchange, but were determined to find a way back home.
