Power Classification:
- Tinker 6 (Specialty: Nanotechnology)
- Breaker 5

- Thinker 1 (speculative; see Abilities)

Abilities:
- Body composed of adaptable nanomachines, allowing shapeshifting and dispersal
- Access to a personal extradimensional space, akin to Circus' ability
- Can infect targets with debilitating diseases via nanites
- Nanites can be deployed as barriers, weapons, or any form of his choosing
- Smoke emanates from eye sockets; possible sensory ability

Assessment:
Miasma is an experienced and calculating villain whose nanite-based powers provide immense versatility.
His shapeshifting and dispersal capabilities make him highly elusive and adaptable in combat situations.
The ability to inflict diseases adds a potent biological weapon to his arsenal.
Miasma's tactical skill and lack of compunction against underhanded methods make him an unpredictable threat.

- Breaker state offers significant durability and adaptability
- Breaker power allows easy escape and infiltration
- Disease infliction can incapacitate without direct combat
- Veteran cape with significant combat experience
- Ruthless and cunning, willing to use dirty tactics

Weaknesses:
- Reliance on nanomachines, possible vulnerability to EMPs/energy attacks
- Reputation as manipulative rogue, few allies
- Vulnerable to area-of-effect attacks

Engagement Protocols:
1. Wear sealed, fully-covering suits to prevent exposure to infectious nanites.
2. Bring electrical/energy weapons to disrupt nanomachines if combat occurs.
3. Avoid hand-to-hand engagement, maintain distance.
4. Deploy Shaker capes with wide area-of-effect attacks to damage his nanites.

History:
Miasma has so far avoided major incidents.
First appeared in Brockton Bay in 1986. Prior history unknown.
Has operated as an independent villain since then, known for careful target selection.
Has survived as a solo operator in the city for decades, consistently eluding capture.

Notes:
- Speaks in a genteel, Victorian manner. Favors a plague doctor aesthetic.

Recommended Approach:
Maintain surveillance and attempt capture when the opportunity presents itself. 
If combat is unavoidable, maintain distance and deploy electrical countermeasures.
Monitor his nanotech creations and update threat rating as necessary.
