— The Inheritor

The Inheritor was Syntho-Rob One a liquid plastic robot with almost limitless shape shifting abilities. He was designed by Dr. William Magnus a brilliant robotics expert.

History

Syntho-Rob One was created when the Metal Men left Doc Magnus, as they felt like they were treated like property. Doc Magnus moved on to a new project he named, Syntho-Rob One, a plastic android he believed might ultimately prove superior to the originals.

General Casper, a high-ranking Federal purchasing agent, wasn't interested at first when shown the Syntho-Rob. General Casper railed against Magnus for letting the Metal Men leave. The U.S. military had financed Doc Magnus' experiments, and they expected the robot to be used as and when the needed them

The Inheritor was destroyed by Mercury, who short-circuited his electric wires with his own liquid body.
