The Android Man was created by the Mad Thinker, presumably as a failsafe in case he was betrayed by his sometime ally, the Wizard. A group of policemen found one of the Mad Thinker's hideouts. In an effort to catalogue and impound all of his equipment, they opened a box labelled "Don't Open in Room Temperature." Seconds later, the contents of the box, the Android Man, was activated by the ambient heat in the room. Quickly overpowering the police officers, he attempted to follow his programming by tracking the signal given off by the Wizard's Wonder Gloves and to destroy the one who possessed them. At this time, the gloves were in the possession of Ben Grimm. |
