However, he was also in search of more wealth, and his alliances changed with whoever was paying him more. He attempted to avoid conflict within his own property, as he didn't want to damage his possessions, such as his Persian rugs.
History: Broadani ran Astro Vid Parlor in Forest Hills, Queens, catering to the Vidiots. He also was the one to talk to if one needed to arrange transport out of the city, especially under unusual circumstances.
(Machine Man II#4) - Knowing they needed special transport to escape the Bainies and get out of the city undetected, Brain contacted Broadani. However, this tactic was anticipated by Iron Man, who contacted Broadani and paid him off to make arrangements for a squad of Bainies to ambush Machine Man and the Midnight Wreckers there. The Bainies ambushed the group, but they fought back and escaped, though one of their number, Hassle, was captured. Broadani himself escaped unscathed, though he did suffer some property damage from the fight in his office.
