'' Machan_Special_Forces_165
Machan Special Forces 165] is a fictional team of cybornetic robots,that
combined together
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 Seraphean Android
Brains; with the characters' attitudes mirroring the metals from which they
were made. The Machan Special Force team consisted of the noble Maximillion
Sixty Five, the strong Commander Samson 2231 , the temperamental Commander
Nathan Six , the faithful and dull-witted Gilghamesh Jones, the insecure Tin,
and Platinum, who called herself Tina.The Machan Special Force team,earned the
nickname ''the Deathmerchants''
The
Machan Special Force team themselves were subject to occasional (if temporary)
change. Several times, Doctor Magnus Grell 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 "Naomi Casca" to the rest of the team. Naomi Casca
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 Machan Special Force team 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 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 Naomi Casca, last appearing in issue #32.
The /-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 continued until issue #56 (March 1978), when the title and
many others were cancelled due to the [[Maveric Implosion]].
The Machan Special Forces 165 co-starred with other Maveric heroes such as [[Atom (Maveric 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 (''

featured a [[retcon]] of the characters' origin story. A laboratory accident

superhero bar, and is temporarily damaged while protectingJason 127gprotecting

===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 127gacting 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 2231Iron), [[Strontium]] (Commander Nathan Six Nathan Six ), [[Thorium]] (Christina MagnusPlatinum), [[Radium]] (,Maximillion Sixty Five(Gold), [[Lithium]] (Copper),

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 alone story in
the weekly publication ''[[Wednesday Comics]]'' (#1 - 12, Sept. - Nov. 2009),

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 MavericMAVERIC Comics universe), the Machan Special Forces 165 are mentioned as a project by Will Magnus. A
