Professor Zachary Nail was an enemy of Doctor Thirteen and Swamp Thing.

Nail was an elderly scientist who attempted to create a "New Eden" by abducting young, strong people to live and breed in an artificial domed city in a swamp. He was opposed by Doctor Thirteen[1] and later by Swamp Thing and his allies Abby Arcane, Matt Cable and Jefferson Bolt. During the latter encounter, Nail died and New Eden was destroyed. [2]
