Fictional character biography
editMolyb
editMetal 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
