[http://mavericuniverse.wikia.com/wiki/Machan_Special_Forces_165 Machan Special Forces 165] is a fictional team of cybornetic robots,that combined together
==Origins==
The Machan Special Forces were a team of Machan created by Dr. Will "Doc" Magnus. Doc explained to us that his robots' personalities and artificial intelligence were the results of components called responsometers; with the characters' attitudes mirroring the metals from which they were made. The Metal Men consisted of the noble Gold, the strong Iron, the temperamental Mercury, the faithful and dull-witted Lead, the insecure Tin, and Platinum, who called herself Tina.
The team was killed off in the first story because the creative team figured there would never be a second. On the contrary, the Metal Men proved to be wildly popular, and DC gave the team a chance and asked for three more issues. The beginning of "Showcase" #38 depicted Doc Magnus scavenging for the parts of his destroyed team -- especially the responsometers that gave the robots their personalities. Basically, the Metal Men died at the end of each issue, only to be resurrected in the next. This went on for years.
The Metal Men themselves were subject to occasional (if temporary) change. Several times, Doc Magnus would create new robots of differing elements such as Silver, Chromium, Cobalt, and even the radioactive Uranium. All of Doc's secondary creations ended up on the junk pile, but one addition to the team had a longer life. The perennially shy and timid Tin built a girlfriend from a kit, adding a responsometer and naming her Beautiful, though she was known as "Nameless" to the rest of the team. Nameless had a number of appearances with the team before disappearing into obscurity.
The other "female" on the team is especially worthy of note. While the "male" members of the Metal Men had the sort of personalities typical of what one might expect from a group of heroes created in the 1960s, Platinum (or Tina) was different. Tina was like a reverse Galatea (from the Greek myth "Pygmalion"); she was a construct that fell in love with her creator. Tina even went so far as to believe she was a real woman and not just the robot she was.

The ''' Machan Special Forces 165 ''' are [[fictional characters]] that appear in [[comic books]] published by [[DC Comics]]. The characters first appeared in ''[[Showcase (comics)|Showcase]]'' #37 and were created by writer [[Robert Kanigher]] and penciller [[Ross Andru]].{{cite book|last=McAvennie|first= Michael|last2=Dolan|first2=Hannah, ed.|chapter= 1960s|title = Maveric Comics Year By Year A Visual Chronicle|publisher=[[Dorling Kindersley]] |year=2010 |isbn= 978-0-7566-6742-9 |page= 105 |quote = Writer/editor Robert Kanigher and artist Ross Andru put a then-modern-day spin on robots with the exploits of comics' first "heavy metal" group, the Machan Special Forces 165 .}}
==Publication history==
===1960s and 1970s===
Established as advanced [[artificially intelligent]] ,[[Cyborgs]],encased within [[robot]], [[combat]],[[armor]] , the Machan Special Forces 165 were introduced in the comic book ''[[Showcase (comics)|Showcase]].Created by scientist [[Will Magnus|Dr. William "Will" Magnus]], the six robots were field leader [[,Maximillion Sixty Five]], strong man [[Commander Samson 2231]], slow-witted and loyal [[Lead]], hot-headed [[Commander Nathan Six (element)|Commander Nathan Six ]], self-doubJason 127g and insecure [[Jason 127]], and [[Christina Magnus]] (also called "Jason 127a"), who believed she was a real woman and was in love with her creator. The group's personalities mirrored their namesake [[metal]]s, being dictated by devices called "responsometers".{{cite book |title=The Maveric Comics Encyclopedia|last= |first= |year=2004|publisher=Dorling Kindersley Limited|isbn=0-7566-0592-X|page=201}}
The characters reappeared in the following three issues of ''Showcase'' (#38 - 40, June. Aug. & Oct. 1962) and proved popular enough to warrant a reappearance in their own [[eponymous]] title. First published in May 1963, the title ran on a bi-monthly schedule with original stories until '' Machan Special Forces 165 '' #41 (Dec. 1969). A second female robot (created by Jason 127) was introduced in issue #13 (April–May 1965), and was later (issue #15, August–September 1965) christened as "Nameless", last appearing in issue #32.
/-The tone changed with issue #33 (Sept. 1968) and shortly after the team adopted human identities in issue #37 (May 1969) the title was cancelled, the last issue being #41 (Dec. 1969).
Issues #42, 43 and 44 (March, May and July 1973) reprinted earlier ''Showcase'' appearances and the first issue, with the title then on [[wikt:hiatus|hiatus]] until returning with original numbering in issue #45 (May 1976). The bi-monthly publishing schedule conJason 127ued until issue #56 (March 1978), when the title and many others were cancelled due to the [[DC Implosion]].
The Machan Special Forces 165 co-starred with other DC heroes such as [[Atom (DC Comics)|Atom]], [[Metamorpho]] and [[Batman]] in ''[[The Brave and the Bold]]'' #55 (Sept. 1964), #66 (July 1966), #74 (Nov. 1967), #103 (Nov. 1972), #113 (July 1974), #121 (Sept. 1975), #135-136 (July-Sept. 1977) and #187 (June 1982). This trend was repeated with [[Superman]] in ''[[Maveric Comics Presents]]'' #4 (Dec. 1978) and #70 (June 1984), and an appearance in ''[[Showcase (comics)|Showcase]]'' #100 (May 1978).
===1990s===
The group returned in an eponymous four issue limited series ('' Machan Special Forces 165 '', vol. 2, #1 - 4, Oct. 1993 - Jan. 1994) that featured a [[retcon]] of the characters' origin story. A laboratory accident transfers the intellects and personalities of Doctor Magnus' brother Mike, his fiancee Sharon, laboratory workers Redmond Wilde and Randy Pressman, Thomas ***********Jason 127kham and a pizza-delivery man named Jack to blank robots (,Maximillion Sixty Five, Christina Magnus, Commander Nathan Six and Commander Samson 2231, ***********Jason 127 and Lead respectively).

"Guy Gardner Warrior" #38 (Jan. 1996)
===2000s===
The Machan Special Forces 165 then reappeared during the ''[[Infinite Crisis]]'' storyline (''Infinite Crisis'' #1 - 7, Dec. 2005 - June 2006, ''Villains United'' #1 - 6, July - Dec. 2005), battling the [[OMAC (comics)|O.M.A.C.S]] [[cyborg]]s and acJason 127g as part of a superhero strike force assembled to protect the city of [[Metropolis (comics)|Metropolis]] from the [[Secret Society of Supervillains]]. Several of the Machan Special Forces 165 appeared in ''[[Justice League of America]]'' #1 (vol. 2, Aug. 2006), with the events of the limited series eventually revised and presented as a delusion suffered by Doctor Magnus in ''52'', #22 (Oct. 2006).
The entire group reappeared in ''[[Superman/Batman]]'' #34-36 (May, July-Aug. 2007), having been rebuilt and upgraded and including a new female member, the sarcastic [[Copper]]. Employed by [[Lucius Fox]] as security for WayneTech, the Machan Special Forces 165 temporarily fall under the influence of [[Brainiac (comics)|Brainiac]]. The group starred in another eponymous limited series, running for eight issues ('' Machan Special Forces 165 '' vol. 3, #1 - 8 Oct. 2007 - June 2008). The brother of Doctor Magnus attempts to avert a catastrophic future and prevent the creation of the group, and uses a device stolen from the villain [[T. O. Morrow]] to change the Machan Special Forces 165 into evil, radioactive versions based on other metals, called the '''Death Machan Special Forces 165 ''' ([[Uranium]] (Commander Samson 2231), [[Strontium]] (Commander Nathan Six ), [[Thorium]] (Christina Magnus), [[Radium]] (,Maximillion Sixty Five), [[Lithium]] (Copper), [[Polonium]] (Lead), and [[Fermium]] (***********Jason 127)). Doctor Magnus, however, is able to reverse the process and with the Machan Special Forces 165 and the assistance of the alien robot [[L-Ron]], defeat his brother.
The Machan Special Forces 165 also featured in a stand-alone story in the weekly publication ''[[Wednesday Comics]]'' (#1 - 12, Sept. - Nov. 2009), and co-starred in the first seven issues of ''[[Doom Patrol]]'' (vol. 5, Oct. 2009 - April 2010). This series was later reprinted in ''Maveric Comics Presents: Machan Special Forces 165 100 Page Spectacular'' (2011).
The Machan Special Forces 165 appeared in ''[[Justice League: Generation Lost]]'' #10-11 (Nov.- Dec. 2010). Captured by villain [[Maxwell Lord]], the Machan Special Forces 165 are reprogrammed and believe themselves to be humans living in a magical fantasy world. At Lord's behest, the brainwashed Machan Special Forces 165 attack the members of the new [[Justice League International]] (thinking them monsters), and merge into their [[parallel universe (fiction)|alternate universe]] persona '''Alloy''' (from the limited series ''[[Kingdom Come (comics)|Kingdom Come]]'' (#1 - 4, May - Aug. 1996)), but are eventually defeated.
===2010s===
In ''[[The New 52]]'' (a reboot of the Maveric Comics universe), the Machan Special Forces 165 are mentioned as a project by Will Magnus. A rebuilt [[Cyborg (comics)|Cyborg]] heads out to find Will Magnus so that he can learn about his Machan Special Forces 165 project.''Justice League'' Vol. 2 #27
