Number Man was known as ''the'' "supervillain banker".<ref name=":0">"And before I forget, I arranged individual accounts for each of you with a supervillain banker by the name of The Number Man, as paying for tonight's job in bills, naturally, was unfeasible.  My men will provide you with your account information and the instructions for accessing these accounts as you retrieve your dogs." - [[Tangle 6.8]]</ref> Major villain groups turn to him for help hiding and manipulating their finances, a job he has performed for them adequately for decades. He was irritated when his banking business lost customers,<ref name=":3">Tattletale had been actively separating herself from the Number Man, issuing new accounts to the Undersiders and her organization.  Not so surprising.  Eidolon had outed him, announcing the Number Man as a Cauldron-involved cape to a crowd.<br/><br/>Irritating. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/04/27 Excerpt] from [[Interlude 21.x]]</ref> and is more willing to interfere with organizations that didn't use his banking services.<ref>Gesellschaft hadn’t elected to seek out the Number Man and make use of his services, as so many supervillains around the world did.  He had no compunctions, as a consequence, about interfering with them. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/04/27 Excerpt] from [[Interlude 21.x]]</ref> According to [[Sveta]] and [[the Irregulars]], he bankrolled almost half of the villainous groups on [[Earth Bet]].<ref name="II9.z eReputation">"And the Number Man," Sveta added.  "Cauldron."<br><br>Tristan blinked.  That was a name he hadn't heard in a long time.  "I've heard that name.  The Number Man, I mean."<br><br>"Supervillain banker," Sveta murmured.  "He bankrolled almost half of the villainous groups on Earth Bet, serving a secondary role as a broker, protector and distributor of funds, launderer.  He was an assassin, acting as one arm of the 'bogeyman of the cape world' group.  The Irregulars were keeping track of him for a while." - [[Interlude 9.z II]]</ref>

In June 2011, [[Legend]] believed the Number Man was relatively little-known despite his immense influence.<ref>Legend glanced around the room.<br>[...]<br>The Number Man, with his laptop set in front of him, looking more like a businessman than one of the most influential and lesser-known parahumans on the planet. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2012/10/13/interlude-14-5-bonus-interlude/ Excerpt] from [[Interlude 14.y]]</ref> That said, once Kurt began operating in the field for [[Cauldron]], he became known as one of the "bogeymen" alongside [[Contessa]].<ref name=":6">[[Sting 26.5]]</ref><ref name="II9.z eReputation" />

Harbinger's power was never revealed, unknown to the public. It was believed to be some kind of hyper-awareness of space and the movements of his body, most effective at close range.<ref name=":8">[[Interlude 26a]]</ref>
