Fictional character biography
[edit]Molyb
[edit]Metal Master is an Astran, a humanoid alien with the ability to manipulate metal. He was banished from his planet after attempting to conquer it, and subsequently came into conflict with various heroes, including the Hulk, Rom the Space Knight, and the Scarlet Witch. After being imprisoned by the Conclave of Seven Planets, Metal Master escapes and decides to reform.[2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]
Molyn
[edit]A new incarnation of the Metal Master named Molyn, nicknamed the "All-New Metal Master", appears in the "No Surrender" arc as a member of the Grandmaster's Lethal Legion.[10]
Powers and abilities
[edit]The Metal Master can manipulate virtually all types of metal, enabling him to alter its shape and density and bring it to life.[11] However, he is unable to control Plandarium, the metal alloy from which Spaceknight armor is made.[12] He has additionally built starships with intermediate hyperdrive functions, but otherwise at Earth's technological level.
