Aaron Stack and His Rock Hard Robot Body

Machine Man

The sole surviving robot of a government project, X-51 had the benefits of being raised by Dr. Abel Stack who treated him like a son. Dubbed "Machine Man", he became a superhero and later an Avenger until being corrupted by Sentinel technology and developing a strong dislike for humans.

Anyone else like Machine Man? I didn't know anything about him before Nextwave but I loved him (and the others) in that, especially his hatred for "fleshy things." When Nextwave was canceled (tear) I thought he'd be gone forever but he came back in Ms. Marvel 18 and I was pleased to see he still had his Nextwave personality.

Anymore machine love? Anyone?

Silly fleshcapades. That's great. I always liked Machine Man. The first time I saw him was in an Iron Man comic, when he thought Iron Man was a robot and wanted to talk to IM about living among the humans. Imagine his surprise when he found out Iron Man was a drunken fool of a human.

Haha, this guy (or should I say robot) is funny. "I analyse your every word, identifying subconscious speech patterns that betray your poorly hidden lust for my rock-hard robot body..."

He seems rather funny. I like the bit about not setting the weapon to painless.

Brian Reed (Ms. Marvel writer):

"Machine Man, an operative of the Lightning Storm strike team, would seem to be an eccentric and amusing member of the team, but he’s actually dangerous and quite mad. “I think people have thought he was just this weird, funny guy. But no, he’s a freaking sociopath!” Reed laughed. “There’s a scene in issue #25 where he’s got this speech, and it became one of those things writers talk about that sometimes does legitimately happen. He just started talking and I just started typing the stuff he was saying. I got a little creeped out by it and almost took it back out. I left it in and I never got a note on it. It was the moment where I went, ‘Okay, he is a sociopath! I was right.”

I always knew he was crazy. All that business about hating fleshy things isn't just talk you know. I cannot wait to read what he says.
