The Reverser Machine was used by V.E.N.O.M. in what Miles Mayhem referred to as the 'Counter-Clockwise Caper'. When turned on, it caused all kinds of machinary to work backwards at increasing speed, causing chaos all round.
The first test of the Reverser Machine was conducted in Las Vegas. As soon as it was switched on, all the rides at the 'Carnival Carnival Casino' began running in reverse and the slot machines began spewing out all of the coins they had collected. As a side effect, Scott Trakker's robot T-Bob also began speaking, moving and eventually driving backwards. Vanessa Warfield was the only agent of V.E.N.O.M. to actually bear witness to this test, as she was undercover in Las Vegas to see how well the machine worked.
The following night, several V.E.N.O.M. vehicles left their hideout, with Jackhammer towing a truck carrying the Reverser. This time, Mayhem ordered Sly Rax to turn on the machine at full power. Matt Trakker almost lost his life when the revolving restaurant he was in went haywire and he found himself being thrown out of a window. Using her Aura mask, Gloria Baker managed to slow his downfall and save his life.
Meanwhile, Warfield and Cliff Dagger used giant vacuum cleaner like machines to suck up all the money that had been ejected from various slot machines. When Trakker and Baker arrived on the scene, they noticed that the vehicles of V.E.N.O.M. had been equiped with a counter-acting device, making them the only vehicles that handled normally.
V.E.N.O.M.'s next target was Hoover Dam. Vanessa Warfield was decent enough to warn a construction worker to tell his co-workers to clear the area as it was about to become very dangerous. Rax and Dagger had finished installing the Reverser at the base of the Dam. Once turned on, the turbines would go crazy trying to pump backwards and the vibration would tear the whole dam to peaces. Having thus caused the biggest disaster in history, V.E.N.O.M. would be able to get away cleanly without any interference from M.A.S.K.. To make sure nobody would get to the machine in time, Dagger used his Torch mask to seal the doors.
However, Gloria Baker had teamed up with Bruce Sato in Gator. Baker used Aura to open the doors, then Sato used his Lifter mask to pick up Gator and levitate it into position so Gloria could fire the Electric Ouch canon to disable the Reverser.
Meanwhile, Dusty Hayes used Rhino's Battering Ram Bumper to crack open V.E.N.O.M.'s truck filled with money. Losing money fast, the agents of V.E.N.O.M. made their escape, leaving Dusty to clean up the money from the road and surrounding cacti.
