Armed Armored Articifial Antagonists

The Red Tornado robots which T.O. Morrow assembled on Earth-One were precisely modeled after the automaton technology from which he could the original on Earth-One. While each of these artificial entities had a measure of sentience and similar powers to the original, each was deemed inferior to their master, when he employed them in attempted assassinations of Justice League members aboard their satellite headquarters.

The G.I. Robots consisted of two models known as J.A.K.E. 1 and 2 as well as a robotic dog and cat (also, two prototype models were used prior to this). These creatures had dozens of adventures, either with just the robots with their human handlers, and with their fellow Project M creations*, the Creature Commandos during World War II on Earth-Two. The Commandos were scientifically augmented soldiers made to appear as monsters, with corresponding abilities capable of both overwhelming opponents physically and psychologically. Their Earth-One counterparts were one-time foes or allies of Batman, Batgirl and Swamp Thing**.

Each of the faux-Red Tornados*** were launched against the Justice League whle the original was captured by Morrow, who then attempted to reprogram his greatest creation into a third loyal pawn. What he failed to realize was that this Red Tornado android had within its robotic casing the elemental entity known as the Tornado Champion, which had previously battled Adam Strange as Ulthoon. This Red Tornado was able to regain his senses and once more save his fellow heroes against the mechanizations of his malevolent master.

Eventually, both G.I. Robot and the Creature Commandos were sent in a missle to Berlin in lieu of a court martial for their inhuman actions, as deemed by the military they served. However, the Robot and his allies were errantly sent into space, and have as yet not reappeared.

* Evidence that Project M existed on Earth-Two rather than Earth-One or another alternate reality is found in Chuck Grayson’s involvement in constructing the Project’s G.I. Robot (Chuck was Robert “Robotman” Crane’s colleague), and their creation of Miss America from experimentation on reporter Joan Dale.

** Medusa aka Dr. Myrna Rhodes was a physician treating the Creature Commandos, when some experimental gases transformed her hair into living serpentine like entities. As the Earth-Two counterpart of Lady Viper, she nevertheless was a heroine rather than a femme fatale. As for her fellow Commandos: Sgt. Vincent Velcro's Earth-One twin was Andrew Bennett, Warren Griffith's twin there was Anthony Lupus, Pvt. Elliot Taylor's twin there was Gregori Arcane, and their leader Lt. Matthew Shrieve's twin there was government agent Matthew Cable... who stalked Swamp Thing.

*** The dozen solo adventures of the two G.I. Robots mirred the dozen solo adventures of the Red Tornado. His two robotic duplicates, as well as his time on Earth-Two, yielded no solo adventures between them.
