Fire and Ice (1983)

A time traveling robot enemy of the JSA and All-Star Squadron, Mekanique is in fact, a rebuilt version of the Maria Android from Fritz Lang's Metropolis (1927).

One cover specifically evoked the Metropolis poster.

Roy "the Boy" Thomas, creator of Mekanique, believed that Earth-2 was where "all of fiction" happened, not just the World War II comics of the 1940s, and so when he wrote Earth-2 set comics, there were frequent callouts to Indiana Jones, Professor Challenger, and War of the Worlds. Note also that Captain Marvel was originally on Earth-2, not his own timeline. Roy also made it explicit it was a different timeline, by having a female US president in the 1980s.

Roy the Boy, initially named Stan Lee's successor as Editor in Chief of Marvel, must have loved evil robots....as he was also the creator of Ultron when he worked at Marvel.

BHOC: AVENGERS #181

This next issue of AVENGERS was also a book that my younger brother Ken bought his own copy of, though in this case that copy vanished somewhere over the years and never made its way to me. It’s a well-remembered issue, with the narrative getting back on track after a trio of fill-in jobs due to new editor in chief Jim Shooter’s new duties preventing him from keeping up on the plotting of this…

An absolute classic. Even an android can cry.

But, even in a woman who’s as liberated as she wants to be, something there still is which melts at the Rhett Butler approach…
