10 Criminally Underrated Super Teams In DC Comics
8. Metal Men
The always-pipe-smoking Will Magnus is one of the foremost minds in DC Comics. So much so that the good doctor, despite suffering from bipolar disorder, created one of the most underrated, enjoyable teams in the industry: The Metal Men.
Taking a series of blank robots, Dr. Magnus introduced a device known as a responsometer, a device that gave each robot sentience along with a personality that was dictated by their metal of origin.
Mercury is malleable and often hot-tempered. Iron is incredibly strong. And Lead is loyal if a little dull, with abilities that allow him to protect his allies.
The Metal Men are intriguing because of their ability be destroyed and rebuilt. Magnus, after all, is a scientific genius, and simply requires resources in order to reconstitute his team.
The Metal Men are incredibly unique among the pantheon of DC teams for often being brought into some of the biggest events in comics history, including Identity Crisis and Doomsday Clock, without truly getting the recognition they deserve.
