Nicholas Bassaglia (New Earth)

Nick Bassaglia was a mob boss operating in New York City. He lived in a large Middle Hampton mansion with Trudy Powell.

Bassaglia pretended to be a retired olive oil importer, and did much of his legitimate business through Mason Oil Imports. One of his primary mob activities was the distribution of drugs, primarily heroin and cocaine.

The arrival of Velocity 9 on the drug scene hurt Bassaglia's business tremendously. He arranged to have it synthesized with the help of Dr. Conrad Bortz. However, shipments of the material necessary for duplicating the drug were intercepted by Velocity 9 junkies working for Vandal Savage. Bassaglia invited his neighbor Wally West to a party at his home, hoping to get the speedster to side with him in his battle against Velocity 9.
