I thought it would be fun to have another outing from this team of once-human heroes. Who better to face a group with robotic forms than the most evil artificial creation ever - Ultron! The Synthetic Six first appeared in STF #3830...

This was so unexpected. Would Ultron be able to transmit "waves" to try to take over any of these beings? Would Cyborg be able to get along with them? But most intriguing... would Ultron say "I still sense"?? Wouldn't that make him " human" too?
ReplyDeleteBut 10 out of 10 for this, Ross.
Somehow that first appearance by this "theme team" flew past me. Is this both the Golden Age and Silver Age Robotmen, both DC?
ReplyDeleteThe group's next appearance should feature a psychic villain who exploits their human brains, such as Mastermind.
Another "theme team" idea: Drs. Strange and Mid-Nite gathering a team of medical heroes. Adding Baymax and Julian Bashir (or perhaps Voyager's Doctor) would be a good start.
Also how about Iron (of the Metal Men) teamed with Iron Man? It could be especially interesting if their foe was Magneto.
I'm surprised this group has never yet met Magnus the Robot Fighter or either of the Roboforces.
ReplyDeleteThe cover says "Robotman I" but surely those shorts suggest that it's Cliff Steele's brain inside that body and not Bob Crane's? That looks like something out of one of the modern Doom Patrol incarnations.
ReplyDelete(Ironic that actual robots are not allowed to comment on this cover.)
Silver is the golden age Robotman, chrome is the bronze age Robotman (Cliff Steele) in one of his later pot-crisis looks.
ReplyDeleteWasn't it "8th Man" not "8 Man" or "Eight Man"?
ReplyDelete@Alex, it was 8th Man in America, but 8 Man in Japan. And it was Special Agent Brady before his death. "Peter" Brady was the Invisible Man in a 1960s tv show from England.
ReplyDelete(As some web sites have stated.)
Ooh! That'd make a perfect sort-of sequel to today's cover. The British "Peter Brady" pulling a Freaky Friday with his American sit-com namesake!
ReplyDeleteDetective Tobor? You're a genius. :-)
