Identity: Metallo v2.1 (formerly v2.0) Alias: (none) Designation: Hero (v2.0 was a villain) Group Affiliation: Horse Brief Bio: Metallo v2.0 is an artificial being composed of roughly 20% static hardware, & 80% nano-machines (liquid metal). Some of the basic nano-machine material came from material used to maintain Metallo v1.0's brain. This material was relatively simple in nature, and attempts to upgrade it met with failure. They couldn't get the nano-machines to form the "long chains" necessary to create large liquid metal constructs. The problem was solved by letting the nano-machines interact with Jack Orday's (Damage's) genetic matrix (it has apparently has beaten a similar long chain problem). The result was Metallo v2.0. After it's first outing it was subjected to a mental reset by Damage (see Damage's who's who) which gave the machine independent thought. This was, in part, due to the regular contact the original material had with a human brain, and in part due to his brother-like relationship with Damage. They are now best friends. Powers and Abilities: Metallo has strength on par with a typical humanoid sized robot or cyborg. He has excellent shape shifting abilities, limited only by his relatively small bits of static hardware (on the centimeter scale). He is naturally silver colored, and he can manage normal human pigments, but he's more comfortable in silver. He ingests minerals and elements to repair himself, and he can also repair computer circuitry by "eating" it, and letting it resurface in his hand. He obviously has a way with machines. Metallo v2.0 was equipped with weaponry, but v2.1 has replaced that with diagnostic, and scientific equipment. Weapons: No weapons, but since he's a machine, he's good with other machines. Known Associates: His girlfriend Teri McManus, his son Wayne, Members of Horse which includes: Damage, Don Dawson (lovable rogue and Horse associate), Troy Kayner (Achilles, leader of Horse), David Gillepsi (Odysseus), Todd Forester (Homer), Mr. Baginski, Davis Mau, Julie Crawford, Charlie Crawford. Known Enemies: Duane Smithson (former CEO of Horse) Creator Comments: Now that he's taken down Ross-Tech, he's rich. He's dating Fever (Teri McManus). They have a baby boy named Wayne. This child is not adopted. His nano-machines mimicked human response during certain "intimate moments". He would like to marry Teri, but they can't find anyone who wants to marry a human and a robot.
