Aliases: Deathlok; Deathlok the Demolisher;
    Not really aliases, but maybe noteworthy for completeness sake:
       "Death Machine" - In Astonishing Tales I#28, Ryker says, it's not a Death-Machine the world needs now, or an army of walking Death Soldiers, but a Saviour-Machine. After destroying Ryker's Super-Tank/Death-Machine, in Astonishing Tales I#31, Deathlok says, "The Death-Machine is dead. Long live the Death-Machine." In Astonsihing Tales I#36, the Luther Manning clone (whose mind was a duplicate of Deathlok's at that point) referred to Deathlok as the "Death Machine." Astonishing Tales I#36/2, as Godwulf parts company with Deathlok, he says, "Au revoir, Death-Machine."
    Linc Shane and his revolutionaries mistakenly believed Deathlok was the Saviour Machine, and Shane subsequently told Deathlok that he was the "savin'est machine";
    Deathlok also jokingly referred to himself as "Two-Gun Kid Corpse" and "Twinkletoes";
    he also gets called "freak," "cyborg," and "the Deathlok cyborg" a few times; and the Thing called him "Uggums" (considering Deathlok to be even uglier than himself) and "handsome"

Education: Military academy graduate

First Appearance: Astonishing Tales I#25 (August, 1974)

Powers/Abilities: Deathlok's composition and abilities have changed over time. This entry starts with his initial form/abilities and progresses to modifications, largely in chronological fashion.     Deathlok's synthetic bone, muscle, and organs have been surgically joined to the still-functioning remains of his human body. His spine and pelvis, plus the major bones of his legs and arms have been replaced by surgical grade stainless steel (some of which was later replaced with an unidentified metal). His organic semi-living tissue has been enhanced to superhuman levels of function.     His entire right arm is artificial: steel bone, core-less helical motor-driven muscle, and synthetic flesh. Gimballing ball-and-socket joints fill his knee, hip, and shoulder sockets. Ratchet-lockable coiled-springs have been implanted in his legs. His spine has been girdled by articulated flat-springs to reinforce the mechanical coupling of his spine to his pelvis. Half of his skull is replaced by a metal exo-skull. The superficial layer of his skin is composed of long chain polymer with integrated metal-affinity polymer.      Percentage composition in initial form, listed by his computer (circa Astonishing Tales I#33):           17% decaying organic matter         36% amnio-biotic fluid preservative (for reference, approximately 60% of the human body is water, and 7-8%; 60% of Deathlok's 53% organic matter comes out to 31.8% fluid; his decaying form may require more moisture?);         47% computer circuitry, life support systems, power pack generator, bio-neuronic artificial synapse conduits (presumably including mechanical bionics)     Deathlok's artificial musculature and steel enhanced skeleton grant him enhanced human physical abilities, including strength (he could initially lift 980 pounds with his right arm and 2 tons with both arms, but his body parts have been replaced and enhanced over time, enabling him to lift closer to 10 tons), speed, stamina, durability, agility, and reflexes.     He may or may not be stronger following his various modifications.     His artificial right arm has the tensile strength of forged steel. His right hand can crush a revolver, and the limb is strong and durable enough to be punched through a steel door 3-inches thick (provided he is sufficiently braced).     His original form could run at 42 mph. He could make a standing high-jump of 20', and a broad jump of 27'.     His milli-pore oxygen/waste filtration-enhanced cardiovascular system gives him approximately five times normal human endurance.     The reaction center of his computer/brain are about 100,000 times as efficient as a normal human's, although this is encumbered by motor response time, giving Deathlok a practical reaction time 20 times as fast as human. His conventional respiration is augmented by a waste filtration system that enhances his physical endurance to 5x human normal. The filtration systems is intended to be serviced every 2-3 years of normal respiration.     Deathlok's computer was programmed to prevent him from killing himself, although he code try to manipulate others into killing him.     His cyborg system can alter/regulate his chemical balance as indicated; for example, if he were to be stunned, a chemo-solution simulating organic adrenalin could be sent rushing to his brain, rapidly restoring full function.

When he was first reconstructed, his computer/brain was programmable through a hard-wire cartridge slot -- also used for maintenance, reprogramming, and systems analysis -- in his right arm that consisted of light encoded multi-mode input/output.      This has since been removed.     Despite his bionic parts, Deathlok is still subject to certain human limitations and needs. Because his respiratory system is mostly intact, though enhanced, he still needs to breathe air to oxygenate his organic parts. He must ingest foodstuffs to nourish his digestive tract and organic components, and he also must defecate waste products.     He is no longer capable of physical reproduction, as he lacks both the physical/mechanical components and the fuel.

    His major source of power is/was a small heavily-shielded nuclear powered thermo-electric generator, which is located near his spleen and needs re-fueling every 8.3 years. Because part of his brain is still intact he needs to sleep periodically. A side-effect of the drug which inhibits his body's immune-system's normal rejection of non-organic parts is to slow his cell-division rate to the point of ineffectiveness. As a result, wear and tear, as well as cumulative cell-rejection of his non-organic parts, will eventually cause major destruction of his organic parts, necessitating their replacement. His systems were initially projected to remain active for 30 years.

    Luther Manning is of gifted intellect and is a brilliant military strategist (Per Astonishing Tales I#25, Simon Ryker considered him to have been the most brilliant military strategist alive (prior to his death)) and formidable hand-to-hand combatant, being proficient with knives, daggers, handguns, and laser pistols.

    Manning's own knowledge, skills, and thought processes were computer augmented; these are integrated to the point that volition is often the result of computer heuristic algorithms rather than conscious free will. He had advanced computer-enhanced hunches (statistical interpretation of seemingly unrelated phenomenon) and pattern recognition. Despite this, his thoughts also existed independent of the computer system, effectively granting him two personalities (he generally referred to his computer as "'puter" when communicating with it. While the computer could make recommendations and perform advanced functions at his request, Manning's mind almost uniformly remained in control of Deathlok's actions and functions. Nonetheless, Manning maintained an antagonistic attitude towards the computer, generally responding to it with hostility.

    Initially, Deathlok had a second computer personality (or third personality altogether), which seemed almost to manifest his id, as stream of consciousness ramblings. This was eventually revealed to be an implant placed by Simon Ryker, which served as a bug to track his position.

    His costume is composed of woven metal-mesh of considerable durability.

He is traditionally armed with a portable 150 watt/second helium-neon laser pistol, with a 1/2 inch exit beam capable of boring through 1/2 inch stainless steel in 1 second.       On Earth-7484 circa 1990-1991, Deathlok used a series of helicopters, including the one he stole from the US Army, the one he was given by Hellinger, and one that was presumably given to him by the CIA.

.

He also carries a 9" throwing dagger, patterned after the Marine Corps combat knife, which is magnetized to stick to his leg.

By 2011, his left arm was mechanical as well. His right lower limb was detachable/modular.     His left hand was usually replaced a a bladed, ballistic, or energy-discharging weapon, and some of the units can even morph into other forms.     His plasma weapon was able to liquefy the powerful Mayan creature known as the Devourer.

(Astonishing Tales I#25 (fb) - BTS) - Wishing to preserve Manning's knowledge and experience, Simon Ryker chose him to be part of Project: Alpha-Mech in the event that he did not survive surgery. (Astonishing Tales I#25 (fb)) - Luther Manning died on the operating table, but, as per Simon Ryker's orders, the doctors kept a portion of his brain alive. As the doctors pronounced him dead, they raised their objections to Simon Ryker, who threatened them with court martial if they continued to complain. (Astonishing Tales I#33 (fb) - BTS / Astonishing Tales I#34 (fb) - BTS) - At least two clones of Luther Manning were created, with one retained by Simon Ryker and one by Harlan Ryker. (Astonishing Tales I#25 (fb) - BTS - not in this issue that I see) - Manning was left in stasis for five years, part of Project: Alpha-Mech's body-banks, while his wife and friends were told he was dead.     #28, at least, confirms that he was "frozen" for five years. (Astonishing Tales I#25 (fb) / Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe I##3: Deathlok) <Circa 1990 A.D.> - Harlan Ryker was part of a quartet of scientists and surgeons (apparently including Curtis Giles, Dr. Wilcox, and Dr. Wilkins) who converted Manning into the cyborg warrior codenamed Deathlok.       They transplanted his still-living brain back into his preserved corpse, which was augmented with bionic parts.      The process took weeks complete. (Astonishing Tales I#33 (fb) - BTS) - Deathlok was intended to be a weapon beyond the pain of extinction. (Astonishing Tales I#28 (fb) - BTS) - Ryker had a directive implanted into Deathlok's computer, preventing him from killing himself. (Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe I#3: Deathlok) - Manning awakened to find himself in a body that was partially his own and with a mini-computer occupying a portion of his cranium.

(Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe Deluxe Edition#3: Deathlok - BTS) - Hellinger took Project: Alpha-Mech and broke away from the military. Hellinger continued to advance his process, converting himself into a cyborg. He also continued advancing his Alpha-Mechs.

(Astonishing Tales I#25 (fb)) - Simon Ryker, alongside Nina Ferry, oversaw Deathlok's training.

    At Ryker's request, an unspecified doctor detailed Deathlok's abilities.

(Marvel Fanfare I#4/2 (fb) - BTS) - Deathlok initially killed when commanded. Gradually, he came to question his orders, and finally he became aware of what he was: A hideous aberration composed of rotting flesh and polished metal, and he began to rebel.

(Astonishing Tales I#25 (fb) - BTS / Astonishing Tales I#26 (fb) - BTS) - Deathlok demonstrated tendencies toward rebellion against his built-in computer; in his last two missions, he four times disregarded programmed orders, once defied a direct order, and twice acted counter to programming.

(Astonishing Tales I#25 (fb)) - Deathlok apparently attempted to confront Ryker, but an inches thick door delayed him sufficiently for Ryker's agents to introduce anesthesia into Deathlok's chemical bloodstream, incapacitating him.

(Astonishing Tales I#25 (fb) - BTS / Astonishing Tales I#26 (fb) - BTS) - Simon Ryker had Deathlok brought in for examination and questioning. After receiving injectable sedation under Peters' direction, Deathlok was placed in a power siphon.

(Marvel Fanfare I#4/2) - In an effort to restore their control over Deathlok, a group of scientists, including Hugo and Dr. Commonhate, subjected him to illusions of his past existence, including his wife Janice and his former pet Collie. He resisted the illusions, becoming more angry with Ryker and his men for using his cherished memories against him.

(Astonishing Tales I#25 (fb)) - Alongside Peters, Ryker prepared to question Deathlok regarding the nature and reasons for his rebellion.

(Astonishing Tales I#25 (fb)) - Although Peters assured Ryker that Deathlok was heavily sedated and would be helpless, they were both very surprised to hear Manning's voice, revealing that his personality had reasserted itself and taken control of Deathlok's form. Deathlok then reversed the flow of the power siphon, enabling him to break free from the restraints and escape.

(Astonishing Tales I#26 (fb)) - In the process of escaping, Deathlok smashed Simon Ryker's head into a computer panel, knocking loose a panel in the back of Simon Ryker's own cyborg head. Additionally, Deathlok found Mike Travers, who showed him that he was still being programmed by the card Ryker had implanted in his forearm. Deathlok destroyed the card and escaped in a helicopter with Travers, and Ryker swore vengeance on the both of them.

.

(Astonishing Tales I#31) - Deathlok encountered Travers, but their reunion was brief once Travers revealed that he had married Janice after Luther Manning had been declared dead. Deathlok punched down Travers but stopped short of killing him, warning him that he would kill Travers if he ever saw him again.

    Deathlok then followed a helicopter, intending to steal it, and he walked in on criminals killing Summers, an agent of Quartuccio; these criminals allegedly held the final living surgeon who had created Deathlok. Deathlok killed  three of the criminals, but the leader of the group -- to whom Deathlok referred as "Mr. Briefcase" -- took off in the helicopter.

(Astonishing Tales I#32) - Deathlok shot out the helicopter's stabilizer blades, causing it to crash, though softly enough for the pilot to survive. However, by the time Deathlok reached the helicopter, the pilot had already fled, and Deathlok tracked him via infra-red vision.

    Entering the 59^th and Lexington subway station, he found the fleeing criminal mortally wounded by programmed human drones (presumably under Hellinger's control). Ignoring his computer's recommendation to flee as more drones arrived, Deathlok took out his frustration (at losing a chance to find the surgeon) on them, eventually knocking out a support beam and collapsing the subway on them when they threatened to overpower him by weight of numbers. Deathlok subsequently opened the briefcase the criminal had carried, but his computer revealed that it was filled with counterfeit money.

(Astonishing Tales I#33) - Deathlok was disgusted when his computer informed him that cannibals were drawn to him by the scent of his decaying flesh. Believing Simon Ryker was behind the recent confrontations involving the counterfeit money, Deathlok repaired the downed helicopter, and its pre-programmed destination brought him to one of Simon Ryker's estates in Long Island. Deathlok was annoyed when his computer revealed that it was aware he could have taken the helicopter rather than having pursued its pilot, but the computer noted that it was not programmed to answer questions unless they were vocally or internally asked.

    At the estate, agents of Simon Ryker tried to impede Deathlok's entry, but Deathlok easily knocked them down and entered the building; meanwhile, Deathlok's computer noted that his life systems were functioning at only 67%. There Deathlok first met Hellinger -- who claimed to be Simon's prisoner and to be dying of radiation poisoning -- as well as Hellinger's Luther Manning clone. Harlan revealed himself to be the surgeon who had created Deathlok (though he didn't tell him that he was the mastermind, and that the third surgeon Deathlok had been seeking was another man altogether, nor that he was Simon Ryker's brother).

    Hellinger also stated that Simon Ryker had imprisoned him ever since the surgery; additionally he claimed that he was suffering from radiation poisoning and a deteriorating nervous system, as were the other doctors that had worked on Deathlok, all planned by Ryker as a precaution for the future.

    Deathlok posited that the clone would have a form compatible with his brain that would not reject a mind-transfer, but both Hellinger and Deathlok's computer stated that there wasn't enough of Luther Manning left to transfer. While it lacked information on Hellinger, Deathlok's computer suggested that Hellinger did not appear to be a threat although his physical structure was blurred and that he had considerable organic surgery grafted onto his original physiology (see comments).

    Hellinger also told Deathlok that he had been secretly assisting him, and that Simon's prisoner, Nina Ferry, was the key to Ryker's destruction (though Michael Travers had already freed Nina).

(Astonishing Tales I#33 / Astonishing Tales I#34 (fb) - BTS) - Hellinger further revealed that he had re-programed Ryker's' computers and manipulated events to draw Deathlok to him as well as explaining why Nina Ferry, was the key to Ryker's destruction. After Hellinger showed Deathlok his arsenal of advanced weaponry, from which Deathlok picked a new laser pistol, Deathlok agreed to make Ryker pay if Hellinger found a way to return Luther Manning to normal.

    Hellinger subsequently convinced Deathlok to strap a briefcase containing a bomb to his wrist, promising it would be released from him upon reaching the castle base of the Provisional Revolutionary Army in Central Park, where Travers and Nina was allegedly being held.

    En route, Deathlok's computer informed him that his link to the Omni-Computer was still functional, allowing Ryker, at least, to be aware of his every move as soon as it happened. Upon overpowering some of the Army and reaching the castle, however, the cable failed to release, leaving Deathlok stuck with the bomb with only a few seconds until detonation.

(Astonishing Tales I#34) - As time ran out, Deathlok shoved his cybernetic arm (and the bomb and briefcase it held) through the opening of an armored door, intending to shoot off the cable to the briefcase and perhaps escape the blast; however, he found his arm jammed in the door as the bomb exploded and destroyed his arm, incapacitating, but not killing him.

    <1/1/1991> - Wearing an exoskeleton, Mike Travers carried Deathlok to CIA headquarters.

(Astonishing Tales I#34 (fb) - BTS) - Deathlok's arm was rebuilt (and he was further restored from the injuries he had suffered battling War-Wolf, etc, bringing him back to 100% systems function and stabilizing his decay factor) over the course of two days. The CIA also implemented their own programming -- including a new input terminal in his right arm -- allowing them to control Deathlok's mobility, as well as some other functions to some degree. The CIA programming ensured that Deathlok would do anything to stop Simon Ryker. It also allowed them to see through Deathlok's eyes (or at least his bionic eye).

(Astonishing Tales I#34 - BTS) - <1/3/1999> - Deathlok awakened but was immobilized until Teresa Devereaux, head of the CIA, introduced herself, restored his mobility, and revealed his reprogramming. Travers subsequently explained to Deathlok that the CIA was fighting Ryker and that - as they thought Deathlok was their best chance of stopping Ryker -- they had rebuilt him and reprogrammed him to serve them.

    Not believing Travers, Deathlok shoved his laser pistol into his face and threatened to end his lies, but Travers informed Deathlok he had been programmed not to harm him: Deathlok could still  function as an individual, but only while serving the CIA against Ryker. After detailing how Simon Ryker was on his way to becoming omnipotent, Devereaux sent Deathlok to confront Ryker.

    Deathlok then traveled to Ryker's base, and he sent his helicopter -- presumably under his computer's control -- directly at the base while he scaled the building. After Ryker's men had blown up the helicopter, Deathlok ambushed and overpowered Ryker's men and then entered the base to confront Ryker himself. However, Ryker's body was inert due to his mind being transferred into the city-wide Omni-Computer, and Deathlok was introduced to Simon Ryker's Luther Manning clone, this one containing the mind of Dr. Wilcox, the last of the three surgeons to have worked on Deathlok.

    After assaulting Ryker's form and being nearly destroyed by defense mechanisms, Deathlok coerced Wilcox / Luther Manning clone to hook him (Deathlok) up to the Omni-Computer, too. There he was confronted by the virtually all-powerful Simon Ryker, now the Savior Machine. Although Deathlok threatened him, Ryker welcomed Deathlok as a son, telling him that they were now linked as one, "linked to infinity...intelligence supreme...mind without end!"

    Deathlok considered Ryker to be mad and wondered how he was going to stop him.

(Astonishing Tales I#34 - BTS) - Meanwhile, Hellinger prepared to transform his Luther Manning clone into the first of the Doomsday-Mechs.

(Astonishing Tales I#35) - Deathlok confronted the image of "Ryker," which was actually photons arranged in a sense pattern for the benefit of recognition. Ryker warned Deathlok that he (Ryker) was the over-riding impulse signal within the "brain" of the omni-computer and could destroy him (Deathlok) as easily as he negated the illusion of Deathlok's laser pistol.

    Assembling a photonic image of Earth, Ryker then showed Deathlok what had happened to the world in the years since Luther Manning's death and discussed his plans to "save it" in an attempt to convince Deathlok to join his mission. Considering Ryker to be power mad and intent on controlling the world, Deathlok attacked him.

    Their opposing ionic charges generated greater amounts of destructive force, but Deathlok maintained his grip on Ryker, willing to sacrifice his own life to stop the madman. Dr. Wilcox, however, managed to pull both of the back into the real world, although initially Deathlok's mind was in Ryker's body and vice-versa. At Wilcox's direction, one of the other men reversed the molecular flow and returned Ryker and Deathlok's minds to their bodies. Unhinged by the various transfers and still believing himself to be Deathlok, Ryker ultimately collapsed to the ground, insensate.

    Although Ryker was no longer a threat, Deathlok's CIA programming compelled him to execute him, but CIA agents led by Teresa Devereaux then rushed in and took custody of Ryker. After Teresa explained their programming, Deathlok was able to remove the programming circuitry implanted into his arm port.

    Deathlok intended to leave the group behind until they revealed Hellinger's continued threat, although were apparently unaware that his Doomsday-Mech was en route to CIA headquarters to kill them.

    In addition, they showed him that Wilcox's mind was being rejected from the Luther Manning clone, and they prepared to transfer Deathlok's mind into the clone, restoring him to human form.

    However, while the clone gained the original Manning's mind, the process had merely copied it, and Deathlok continued to exist, unchanged.

(Astonishing Tales I#36) - Deathlok remained immobile, restrained by CIA technology. Soon after, Hellinger's Doomsday-Mech attacked CIA headquarters, assaulting the Manning clone, and Manning's distress was transmitted to Deathlok, freeing him from the magneto-strictive effect rendering him motionless.

    Deathlok blasted the creature with his laser pistol, and its energy dispersed rapidly, causing it to apparently discorporate.

(Astonishing Tales II#36 - BTS / Marvel Spotlight#33 (fb) - BTS) - Godwulf clandestinely caused the Doomsday-Mech to vanish before it could destroy Deathlok.

(Astonishing Tales I#36 (fb) - BTS) - Deathlok apparently agreed to continue to work for the CIA, who designed an Exact Medical Replica (EMR) of Deathlok, which was linked to the original's cyborg functions. With this they intended to monitor his systems for failure while he was out on assignment.

(Astonishing Tales I#36 (fb) - BTS) - Deathlok apparently agreed to continue to work for the CIA, who designed an Exact Medical Replica (EMR) of him, which was linked to the original's cyborg functions. With this they intended to monitor his systems for failure while he was out on assignment.

(Astonishing Tales I#36 (fb) - BTS) - Deathlok apparently received a new helicopter from the CIA.

(Marvel Team-Up I#46) - While seeking to take out the mutants and cannibals who had been running rampant since Ryker's downfall, Deathlok encountered the time-traveling Spider-Man of Earth-616. Seeing Deathlok preparing to fire on a group of seemingly normal people, Spider-Man (of course) assumed Deathlok to be the villain and stopped him from shooting them. The mutants ("The Cubists") then attacked them both, and Spider-Man and Deathlok had to team-up to survive their assault. After the mutants left, Spider-Man and Deathlok were attacked by Strake and Grissom, a pair of snipers who still served Ryker. Spider-Man was less than pleased when Deathlok slew the snipers, but they were then confronted by the regrouped "Cubists." The two made short work of the unorganized mutants, after which Spider-Man used the time machine to head back to Earth-616.

(Marvel Two-In-One#27 (fb) - BTS) - Spider-Man's return via the time platform was observed by Mentallo, who read of his mind and learned of his encounter with Deathlok (although Spider-Man himself could not remember it at the time).

(Astonishing Tales I#36) - Deathlok went out on assignment to locate remaining agents of Simon Ryker within the former New York subway system. These men had no idea Ryker was no longer active. While Deathlok fought them, he was joined by Godwulf, who used the subways as his base to oppose and sabotage the efforts of Ryker, etc.

(Astonishing Tales I#36 / Marvel Spotlight I#33 / Marvel Two-In-One#27 (fb) - BTS) - Deathlok attempted to follow Godwulf to learn more about him, but Godwulf transported him across time and dimensions back to Earth-616, before Operation: Purge had occurred, to briefly hide and protect him from Hellinger.

(Astonishing Tales I#36 - BTS) - When Deathlok was transported out of the Earth-7484 dimension, his contact with the Deathlok EMR was severed, and the CIA, as well as the Luther Manning clone, believed him to have died.

(Marvel Spotlight I#33) - Deathlok arrived at Manhattan's New Grace Hospital, where he was mistaken for a demon by Devil-Slayer (who had been battling the demonic Cult of the Harvester of Eyes), who attacked him. Deathlok fought back, easily overpowering Devil-Slayer who held him off by psychically jamming his laser pistol and using his shadow cloak to knock him off of his feet. After Devil-Slayer fled in an alien dimension for a respite, Deathlok encountered Cory Payne, whom he briefly mistook for his own former wife, Janice. Eventually Devil-Slayer transported them both into a pocket dimension and assaulted Deathlok with an anti-matter mace. Deathlok convinced Devil-Slayer that he was not a demon, and the two returned to Earth, where they were assaulted by the Cultists. Teaming up, they swiftly drove off the Cultists, after which Deathlok was pulled through time again.

(Marvel Spotlight I#33 / Marvel Two-In-One#27 (fb) - BTS) - Godwulf attempted to return Deathlok to his proper time almost immediately he had transported him. However, this plan backfired, since Hellinger had monitored Godwulf's displacement of Deathlok. Not knowing exactly who Godwulf was or what his motivations were, Hellinger decided to return Deathlok to his proper time to find out. Independently, Godwulf also attempted to return Deathlok to his proper time.

(Marvel Two-In-One#26 (fb) - BTS) - Seeking to use Deathlok as their pawn, the Fixer and Mentallo traveled to the Baxter Building, the base of the Fantastic Four, and used Dr. Doom's time machine to snatch Deathlok from the timestream and returned him to the modern time period of Earth-616.

(Marvel Spotlight I#33 / Marvel Two-In-One#26 (fb) - BTS) - This transportation thwarted both Hellinger and Godwulf's efforts. Godwulf lost track of Deathlok due to this.

(Marvel Two-In-One#26) - Deathlok appeared before the Fixer and Mentallo as they opposed the Thing and Nick Fury.

(Marvel Two-In-One#27) - The Fixer and Mentallo duped Deathlok into assaulting the Thing and Fury. After the Fixer fired a control device onto Deathlok's head, Mentallo distracted the heroes with the illusion of a dinosaur attacking them while they transported Deathlok back to their base.

(Marvel Two-In-One#27 (fb) - BTS) - The Fixer and Mentallo spent the next week training Deathlok for their plans. The control device (either the original one or a subsequent device) was made so that it could not be removed. Deathlok was armed with a special rifle armed with another control device.

(Marvel Two-In-One#27 (fb) - BTS) - Fury learned that the Fixer and Mentallo were targeting the incoming President of the United States (POTUS) at his inauguration.

(Marvel Two-In-One#27) - The Fixer and Mentallo sent Deathlok after the incoming POTUS at his inauguration in Washington, D.C. Though unable to resist the mind control and lacking access to his computer, Deathlok retained the capacity for thought, and he was furious to be under another's control again; he cursed Luther Manning's parents for having brought him into existence.

(Marvel Two-In-One#27 - BTS) - Fury informed the Fantastic Four of the Fixer and Mentallo having targeted the incoming POTUS, and the heroes prepared to protect their target. Reed Richards contacted the Impossible Man...

(Marvel Two-In-One#27 (fb) - BTS) - ...convincing him to impersonate the incoming POTUS with the aid of some dissolving make-up to give him human colors.

(Marvel Two-In-One#27) - The voicing his opposition to the Fixer's plans, Deathlok remained unable to resist his commands. Nonetheless, Deathlok warned the Fixer that he would not control him forever and that when he broke free of his gizmo, he would come back for him and that the Fixer would not live long enough to know what hit him.

    Deathlok decided to come out of hiding and attack the POTUS in plain site so that the heroes might be able to stop him. Nonetheless, Deathlok still moved too quickly to be stopped, and he shot the seeming POTUS with a control device, after which the Thing attacked him. Unable to kill himself, Deathlok attempted to goad the Thing into killing him, but the Thing backed off upon realizing this, and the Invisible Girl finally contained him in a force field. 

    However, Reed Richards had summoned the Impossible Man to impersonate the POTUS (aided by some make-up), and the device had had no effect on him.

    The Fixer refused to remove his control device from Deathlok.

(Marvel Two-In-One#28 (fb) - BTS) - S.H.I.E.L.D. (Supreme Headquarters International Espionage Law-enforcement Division)'s scientists failed to disengage the Fixer's mind-control device from Deathlok's cerebral cortex.

(Marvel Two-In-One#28 (fb) - BTS) - Stark International's scientists failed to disengage the Fixer's mind-control device from Deathlok's cerebral cortex.

(Marvel Two-In-One#28) - Reed Richards failed to disengage the mind-control device as well. He then sent the Thing to bring Deathlok to Professor Louis Kort, London's foremost specialist in both cybernetics and bio-genetics. Their flight to London was briefly disrupted by an encounter with the Piranha and Namor the Sub-Mariner.

(Marvel Two-In-One I#30 - BTS) - Kort worked his hardest to save Deathlok.

(Marvel Two-In-One I#32 (fb) - BTS) - Kort saved Deathlok from dying, though Deathlok had to remain in a capsule for another 60 days.

(Marvel Two-In-One I#34) - Professor Kort successfully freed Deathlok from the control device, though he was still left in a stupor. S.H.I.E.L.D. then arrived and took Deathlok into their possession.

(Marvel Two-In-One I#54 (fb) - BTS / Deathlok II#32 (fb)) - Deathlok was stolen from a S.H.I.E.L.D. depot by agents of Roxxon.

(Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe Deluxe Edition#3: Deathlok / Deathlok II#32 (fb)) - Deathlok was placed under the supervision of Earth-616's Harlan Ryker at Brand Corporation, an agent of Roxxon's Department M (for "Mutagenics"). Based on Deathlok's systems, Ryker built an entirely robotic simulacrum of Deathlok.

(Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe Deluxe Edition#3: Deathlok) - Ryker's robot was turned over to Roxxon's N^th Command for testing.

(Marvel Two-In-One#53 - BTS) - Less than a month later, Thomas Lightner proceeded with Operation: Berserker, sending the Deathlok robot to assault the Thing to prevent him from interfering with their N^th Command efforts within Project: PEGASUS.

(Marvel Two-In-One#54 - BTS) - The Deathlok robot attacked the Thing, but was forced to flee when Quasar and other security agents approached. Within the Project: PEGASUS' "Pit" (where federal energy project's radioactive materials were stored and contained for eventual disposal), the Deathlok robot began construction of a N^th Projector, but as Quasar approached he was forced to attack him to prevent the device's discovery. The Thing soon arrived alongside other security agents; faced with defeat and capture, the Deathlok robot activated its self-destruct mode, containing an explosive device. Quasar shattered the robot, and the robot further terminated its own remains to prevent them from searching its programming.

(Captain America I#286 (fb) - BTS / Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe Deluxe Edition#3: Deathlok) - At the Brand Corporation's Long Island City location, Ryker continued to work on the original Deathlok, restoring him to fully functional status and reprogramming him to serve them.

(Deathlok II#32 (fb)) - Ryker and his team began working on a Deathlok cyborg of their own. Rather than merely duplicate the existing version, they studied its systems and began working on improvements.

(Deathlok II#32 (fb)) - Once reassigned to Cybertek, Ryker utilized existing technical advancement data to design his own Deathlok cyborg. This cyborg was later activated by the mind of John Kelly, and later Michael Collins.

(Daredevil I#336 (fb) - BTS) - Lord Tantalus of Earth-7484 was soundly defeated and rehabilitated for the good of his people. Pelops was still alive in that reality, as well. (Daredevil I#337 (fb) - BTS) - Deathlok fought beside Tantalus "in a world that didn't deserve the service we gave it." (Marvel Fanfare II#1 (fb) - BTS) - Deathlok failed to lead his people to a better future. (Marvel Fanfare II#1 (fb) - BTS) - Deathlok learned that the Red Skull had directed the re-creation of the Nth Command's technology, leading them to a second attempt at Operation: Purge in Earth-616. (Marvel Fanfare II#1) - Deathlok traveled back to Earth-616, outside the Brand Corporation facility, but his arrival was detected by S.H.I.E.L.D., whose agents investigated and confronted him. He prepared to attack them to prevent them from interfering with his mission, but his systems suddenly shut down, and he was taken into S.H.I.E.L.D. custody. (Daredevil I#336 (fb) - BTS) - While in S.H.I.E.L.D. custody, the Demolish periodically ranted aloud about his past life. These were recorded and saved in the S.H.I.E.L.D. database. Amongst this information was his past involvement with Lord Tantalus and Pelops of his reality. (Marvel Fanfare II#1 (fb) - BTS) - S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, led by Mr. Parkins, seized control of Manning's brain, keeping Deathlok inert aboard their Helicarrier, while they performed numerous repairs and upgraded his technology, though they did find certain metals and components that they could not identify. (Marvel Fanfare II#1) - Deathlok regained control of his systems and broke free, armed with new jet boots and other weapons added by S.H.I.E.L.D.. He broke free from the Helicarrier, defeating the Falcon and other S.H.I.E.L.D. agents in the process.     Meanwhile, Justice Peace (an agent of the Time Variance Authority) met with Captain America, convincing him to stop Deathlok from changing certain conditions. Captain America teamed up with the Falcon and confronted Deathlok back at the Brand facility. Deathlok fought to destroy the Purge technology present there, but Cap and the Falcon obstructed his progress until he convinced them of what he was trying to do.     Justice Peace arrived just before Deathlok revealed the Red Skull's involvement in Operation: Purge, and Captain America revealed that the Red Skull had been killed in Earth-616 and was no longer a threat (he got better, of course). With the Purge technology destroyed, Captain America and the Falcon convinced Justice Peace not to kill Deathlok, but to instead return him to his own reality. Justice Peace warned him that his reality's Red Skull was still alive and active.

Comments: Conceived, plotted, and drawn by Rich Buckler, with significant input/modification by Doug Moench.
    Astonishing Tales has a pair of features discussing Deathlok's conception by Rich Buckler, Doug Moench, and Roy Thomas: Mindlock x 3; and a more cartoony one.
    Thanks to Grendel Prime and Loki for providing the high-resolution images for this. My scanner is shitey currently.
    Speaking of which, I will replace the lower-resolution images from the 1990s issues with digital ones as they become available.

    I have placed the events in this order, b/c certain changes have taken place in the "older" Deathlok (such as the destruction of the computer portion of his brain) and his overall appearance that are markedly different than the earlier versions seen. There is a nearly 18 year gap in his history that can otherwise be filled by subsequent adventures.
    Info from the Earth X series should not apply to any other reality unless specifically confirmed outside of the Earth X stories. However, I see no reason that characters from alternate worlds can't travel to Earth X, since the Earth X characters interacted with Earth-616 and other realities' characters in Avengers Forever.
    X-51 makes some comment about not using time travel technology to get the Heralds, but they're not all from the same time period, and some of them have a sliding timescale like Earth-616, while others don't. I'm not taking that rule as hard and fast.
    It seems to be that everyone who writes a story about Deathlok since 1983 seems to think that the story in Captain America I#286-288 was the last time the character was seen, and so every story shows Deathlok as he existed in that story.
    So, until someone else "gets it," Daredevil I#337 (published in 1994, thirty years ago at the time of this profile update) will remain the most recent chronological appearance of Luther Manning. I have no idea what "The last Luther Manning story" from the 2014 All-New Invaders stories is supposed to mean.
    I suspect that there will be divergent Deathloks to fulfill the need to keep having Deathlok in his classic form.

    Luther Manning was confirmed as having been a colonel in Astonishing Tales I#25 at the time of his death and Ryker to have been a major at least by the time of Deathlok's rebellion and escape. Per Astonishing Tales I#27, Ryker was a captain at the time he was commanding officer of the military base when Manning was mortally wounded. The OHotMUs mistakenly identified Ryker as a major at the time of Luther Manning's death.
    If the Captain was Navy then his rank is the same level as an Army's Colonel; then who was giving the orders would come down to seniority. https://www.ecsu.ctstateu.edu/personal/faculty/pocock/ranks.htm
--Loki
    Maybe that's it, but Ryker has traditionally been described as affiliated with the US Army. Perhaps Ryker was just commanding officer of the base. My understanding is that a superior officer is a superior officer, regardless of who is commanding officer, but maybe that was not the case in this time of war, or perhaps Manning did not force control over Ryker.

    Some 1970s stories listed Deathlok's timeline as taking place in the past of Killraven's timeline, both of which were in the past of the Guardians of the Galaxy's timeline. Killraven and the Guardians' still seems to be the same, as far as I can tell, but I don't think Deathlok's fits. Deathlok's history has been shown 18 years past the battle with Hellinger, which was supposed to have occurred in the early 1990s. That would place his most recent events AFTER 2001 in his timeline, and there was no evidence that his reality had been conquered by the Martian Masters.
    The idea that Deathlok and Killraven inhabited the same timeline was supported by George Olshevsky in The Official Index to Marvel Team-Up for the issues featuring Deathlok and Killraven, pace Defenders I#26. Aside from this, during the System Bytes crossover, in Guardians of the Galaxy Annual#2, a flashback showed that a counterpart of Deathlok existed on Earth-Guardians of the Galaxy, though probably of Michael Collins (since Collins appeared in the Daredevil Annual that tied into the System Bytes Crossover.)
--Per Degaton
    I think the Captain America I#286-288 stories put that idea to rest, as did the 1990s Guardians of the Galaxy series. The Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe confirms repeatedly that they are not the same timeline. Now be silent.
--Snood

    In New Avengers I#33, the Owl revealed a captive Deathlok/Luther Manning that he had stolen from SHIELD. The Hood took it from him, then sacrificed it (blew it up) to rob Brown Brothers Harriman & Co. This thing had the appearance of Deathlok circa the 1990s of his reality rather than the Deathlok of 2011 A.D. forward seen in the Michael Collins Deathlok series. When briefly released from stasis, it growled. Then they blew it up. There is absolutely no reason for this to be Deathlok the Demolisher. I'd suggest another replica...perhaps even the Deathlok Exact Medical Replica. OR a duplicate of the Roxxon-created Deathlok robot.

•     The cerebrum is not only the source of higher intelligence, but it is also the site of most memory storage. OHotMU I#3: Deathlok lists this as the cerebellum, which actually functions to coordinate motor function. The R-complex (Reptile complex) actually refers the medulla oblongata, which is the most primitive part of the brain, and controls the respiratory, cardiovascular, and other autonomic functions. The hypothalamus controls the 4 F's: Feed, fluid, fatigue, and...sex.
•     Note: In the whole body schematic, they have carpal and tarsal reversed. Carpal should refer to the wrist, tarsal to the ankle.
  
•     We got this corrected for the OHotMU A to Z hardcover profile
  

Deathlok's weight:

• The Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe lists Deathlok the Demolisher as 395 lbs., and I followed that example in the FF Encyclopedia. However, the original series in Astonishing Tales repeatedly lists him as over a quarter ton, and more specifically, 600 lbs.
  
• Mike Travers references Deathlok's quarter ton (500 pound) frame in Astonishing Tales I#31, noting that his footprints were too deep for a normal man.
• Deathlok's computer specifically notes Deathlok's weight to be 600 lbs. in Astonishing Tales I#32; however, Astonishing Tales I#36's narrative notes Deathlok to be 300 lbs.
• Captain America I#286 has the Luther Manning clone's computer (yes, even without any cyborg components, the clone still had contact with his computer, which was apparently discrete from Deathlok's computer) note his weight at 395 lbs. (presumably based on the OHotMU information). It is noteworthy that this was after Luther was shot, and the computer started spitting out nonsense information.

The Heralds:

It was eventually revealed that not all of the Heralds were whom they were initially thought to represent. Spider-Girl was not her exact counterpart from Earth-982, and Hyperion was from a much darker future than Earth-712.
    At any rate, the Heralds are:

• Bloodstorm of presumably Earth-1298 ("Mutant X"), counterpart to Storm/Ororo Monroe, who had been turned into a vampire from Dracula's bite, or a counterpart
• Deathlok, presumably Deathlok the Demolisher of Earth-7484, or possibly just another counterpart to him (who can tell with the way no one gives a rat's @$$ about continuity)
• Hyperion, a counterpart to Hyperion of the Squadron Supreme of Earth-712 from an alternate reality not long after the mini-series, where humanity nuked the Squadron Supreme for their brief takeover.
• Iron Man 2020 or a counterpart
• Killraven, presumably the original version of Earth-Killraven, but possibly a counterpart as well.
• Spider-Girl, a counterpart to the version from Earth-MC2, in which she was the daughter of the Spider-Man clone
• Wolverine, either the version of Earth-Days of Future Past, or a counterpart
• They were organized by X-51 of Earth-9997 (aka "Earth X"), the counterpart to Machine Man
• To be honest, I didn't give Paradise X much time, as I had lost interest in the trilogy around the second issue of Universe X.
  The Heralds' tale just sort of fades away in Paradise X#10. Hyperion and a few of the others are still seen, but final resolutions are not seen for Iron Man 2020 (or the Guardians) or Deathlok.
      Deathlok sought to rid himself of the computer talking in his brain all of the time, while X-51 showed him a body he intended to give him (only seen in shadows). As Killraven returns to his own reality, he tells Deathlok to "enjoy his new body."
  And that's it for Deathlok, as far as I see it.
  My proposal is that he does indeed have the computer terminated, but either:
  • Doesn't get his own body
  • If he does, it merely copies it into another body, leaving the original intact, just like in Astonishing Tales I#35. As compensation, X-51 shuts down the computer voice that is driving him crazy.
  I don't believe that Satyrnin seen in Paradise X is Sat-Yr⁹, deposed by Captain U.K. - that slight spelling variation, plus the fact she is still ruler of her reality, is enough to distinguish her as likely being a dimensional counterpart.
  The reason I have a question mark next to Bloodstorm's home reality is that X-51 didn't use time travel to recruit her, so this would be the Bloodstorm from some years later than the one Havok worked alongside when he went to Earth X, and thus might not be from the same timeline.
  --Loki
  
  •     I see those both as possible interpretations. The only one (TO ME) who is clearly not the normally seen counterpart is Hyperion, who is definitely an alternate future version, long after the deaths of the rest of the Squadron Supreme. I'd rather use the existing characters than make other counterparts, unless the information directly contradicts this.
    --Snood
      Thanks to Loki for supplying the information and images for Paradise X: The Heralds#1, since my copy has vanished within the depths of my comics vault.
      Loki also points out that he deliberately worded X-51's explanation to the Heralds to as what he BELIEVED to be the story of the various timelines, not the actual truth.

Other stuff:

    Astonishing Tales I#33 had Deathlok's computer note that Hellinger's physical structure was blurred and that he had considerable organic surgery grafted onto his original "physiognomy."

Physiognomy refers to the archaic practice of assessing a person's character or personality from his or her facial appearance. However, it can refer to the general physical characteristics of a person.

Physiology refers to the study of functions and mechanisms in a living system

Anatomy refers to the internal structure of organisms.

I think that Hellinger has had major modification of his anatomy, but references to modification of his appearance/physiognomy is not overtly inaccurate.

    The POTUS in Marvel Two-In-One#27 is Jimmy Carter, but that is obviously a topical reference.

   In Captain America I#286, the Luther Manning clone "remembers" how Luther Manning's brain and nervous system were transplanted into a synthetic body. In the classic stories, it was Luther's body that was rebuilt with bionics. I think this is errata or just mis-remembrance for the clone, whose mind was programmed with Deathlok's memories.
    That issue also references Deathlok having time traveled back to 1976, which is a topical reference, as that was the date of the comics when Deathlok traveled back in time in Astonishing Tales I#36.
    Deathlok traveled to Earth-616, which was a sliding timescale. 1976 stories equate to 10-12 years ago Marvel Time.

    I know the events of Deathlok II#29-34 are confusing, and I've detailed them as clearly as I can. It was a cool story, and you probably need to get the issues yourself to fully understand them.
    However, it is noteworthy that the Fordham Roads Station references are erroneous, as this station was actually Manhattan's 23^rd Street Station.

    I am not sure how Deathlok grew hair after the nuclear war, but he did!

   At the end of Ka-Zar the Savage#34 (October, 1984) there is a back-up story that has Ka-Zar going to the Land of Cancelled Heroes. There is a ton of cameos from characters whose books were canceled including Deathlok.
--Paradox Factor

    Deathlok was initially announced as the new lead feature for Marvel's Worlds Unknown comic (to follow their Sinbad features in #7-8 (June-August, 1974)). "...will concentrate on the Doug Moench-Rick Buckler presentation of a strip based on a hero half-man, half-machine...Cyborg."
    This was in FOOM#4 (Winter, 1974)'s "Far-Out Fanfare and Infoomation!" on the page labeled "20."

    HBK123 noted:

    The Luther Manning Deathlok has a card in the Marvel Snap game. The game notably has NO storyline mode and does not require a designation

   A Deathlok resembling of Earth-199999's Mike Peterson exists as a costume only in Disney INFINITY: 2.0 video game

    Mike Castle noted:

There are three Deathlok figures in the Marvel Legends line: the first two were based on Luther Manning and explicitly identified as him, the third was Deathlok of Earth-10511.

The Deathlok figure in the Marvel Super Hero Squad line is based on Luther Manning. This version is from Earth-91119. The story is not given, and he does not appear in the animated series, but the toy confirms that he has a counterpart in this reality. This set also includes Iron Man 2020 of Earth-48224.

Marvel Infinite Series has a Luther Manning action figure.

    According to Wikipedia: "Psychotron" by Megadeth (from the album Countdown to Extinction, 1992) was inspired by the Deathlok character

    There are also some Deathlok action figures, etc. I've exhausted my time and energy sorting out the alternate realities associated with various video games -- thanks to HBK123 and Mike Castle for all of their assistance in that regard -- and I'm ready to move forward with other profiles.
    At some point, I'll add the action figure information that Mike has compiled for me.

helicopter (US Army issue)

This helicopter notably had autopilot mode (Astonishing Tales I#25 (fb) / Astonishing Tales I#26 (fb)) - Escaping from Ryker's containment, Deathlok took Mike Travers with him and reached the building's roof heliport, after which he stole an army helicopter, and they departed. (Astonishing Tales I#25 (fb) - BTS) - Deathlok used the helicopter as his means of transportation while he worked as a mercenary. (Astonishing Tales I#25 (fb) - BTS) - After slaying Curtis Giles and his associate, Deathlok flew the helicopter to the base of Julian Biggs. (Astonishing Tales I#26 (fb) - BTS) - Deathlok presumably flew the helicopter to the black market meat storage plant to which he had seemingly tracked the helicopter on which Mike Travers had been abducted. (Astonishing Tales I#26) - Deathlok subsequently flew the helicopter to Liberty Island, where Travers was reportedly held. . .

. (Astonishing Tales I#27) - Having left the helicopter hovering in auto-pilot mode Deathlok eventually tackled Ryker's War-Wolf off of the edge of the statue's pedestal, landing atop War-Wolf and finally terminating it with his laser pistol. Too weak to climb back up, Deathlok had his computer summon the helicopter down to him. Rather than confront Ryker in his weakened state, however, Deathlok programmed the helicopter to fly to his former home outside of Fort Dix in hopes of reuniting with his wife. She was horrified by his form, and he fled. (Astonishing Tales I#28) - Deathlok flew the helicopter back to Manhattan. (Astonishing Tales I#28 (fb) - BTS) - Deathlok left the helicopter atop a building while he explored the city. (Astonishing Tales I#28) - After being pursued by some of Ryker's men and his Super-Tank, Deathlok followed his computer's advice to return to the helicopter, only to see Ryker's men push it off of the top of the building, causing it to crash on the ground below --Astonishing Tales I#25 Note: Deathlok shoot have left the helicopter in autopilot mode rather than parking it atop a building.

helicopter (Hellinger's)

(Astonishing Tales I#31) - In Lower Manhattan, Deathlok observed a helicopter, which he apparently followed some distance north to encounter a group of unidentified men who had just been paid by Summers, an agent of Quartuccio, who apparently sought the final living surgeon who had created Deathlok.      The criminals slew Summers, and Deathlok killed the criminals, but the leader of the group -- or at least their spokesman, carrying a briefcase (Deathlok called him "Mr. Briefcase") -- took off in the helicopter. (Astonishing Tales I#32) - Deathlok shot out the helicopter's stabilizer blades, causing it to crash, though softly enough for the pilot to survive.     However, by the time Deathlok had traveled to the helicopter atop a building on 57th and Madison, "Mr. Briefcase" had already slain a pair of cannibal attackers and -- wounded in the process -- fled toward the 59th and Lexington subway station. (Astonishing Tales I#33 (fb) - BTS) - Hellinger apparently arranged that entire confrontation in order to draw Deathlok to him. (Astonishing Tales I#33) - Having found "Mr. Briefcase" already mortally wounded by drones (who were presumably also under Hellinger's control), Deathlok repaired the downed helicopter and used its pre-programmed destination to head towards Long Island, to one of Simon Ryker's estates. There Deathlok met with Hellinger who sent him into on a mission to recover Nina Ferry, who Simon Ryker had linked to his Omni-Computer, allowing her to know everything Simon knew; however, Hellinger instead sabotaged the mission, attempting to destroy Deathlok. (Astonishing Tales I#33 (fb) - BTS) - Although Nina had been recovered by the CIA, Hellinger -- who Deathlok believed could restore his humanity -- sent him to recover her (and Mike Travers) from the Provisional Revolutionary Army, based out of Central Park's Belvedere Castle. Deathlok traveled there via Hellinger's helicopter. (Astonishing Tales I#34 - BTS) - Dismembered in the process of following Hellinger's plan, Deathlok was recovered by Travers and brought to the CIA, where he was repaired and reprogrammed to obsessively pursue Simon Ryker. (Astonishing Tales I#34) - Deathlok then traveled to Ryker's base, and he sent his helicopter -- presumably under his computer's control -- directly at the base while he scaled the building. After Ryker's men had blown up the helicopter, Deathlok ambushed and overpowered Ryker's men and then entered the base to confront Ryker himself. --Astonishing Tales I#31

helicopter

 (Astonishing Tales I#36/2) - Presumably CIA-supplied...it was left on standby when Deathlok was sent to bring in some residual agents of Simon Ryker, during which he was encountered Godwulf and was sent back in time

  --Astonishing Tales I#36/2

Note: This helicopter was just mentioned by Deathlok's computer.

    Who knows, maybe the CIA summoned back or otherwise recovered this helicopter, or perhaps it just used all of its fuel and then crashed to the ground.
