The Super-Adaptoid is a robot with the powers of the Avengers, and is one of the Avengers' enemies.
The Super-Adaptoid was created by Stan Lee, Jack Kirby, and Gene Colan.
Powers and Abilities[]
Mimicry: The Adaptoid can copy the powers, appearance, and equipment of any superpowered being in close proximity to it. It then becomes a duplicate of that being, visually indistinguishable from it. Given the opportunity, it can copy up to eight different beings at one time, combining their attributes in a seemingly random fashion, but all these attributes turn green. The main picture, for instance, shows the Adaptoid with Captain America's shield, Thor's chest medallions, and Iron Man's ribbed armor.
The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes[]
In tie-in comic books, the Super-Adaptoid appears. When Captain America and Thor go to stop A.I.M. from stealing a Stark warehouse, the A.I.M. agents send the Adaptoid after them. At first, the Adaptoid looks like a featureless gray robot until he copies Mjolnir and takes a green color. When Hawkeye, Iron Man, and Wasp arrive, the Adaptoid also copies their powers and features. The Super-Adaptoid defeats most of the Avengers save for Captain America and Thor, but Captain America finds the Super-Adaptoid's weak spot on his chest, so he has Thor call the Adaptoid's attention with lightning while Cap reaches and hits the Super-Adaptoid's weak spot.
Avengers Assemble[]
In this series, the Super-Adaptoid is created by Justin Hammer. He first was destroyed by the Avengers team easly, but was able to adapt and gain each of there powers. Super-Adaptoid later served as a battle suit for M.O.D.O.K. as part of the Red Skull's league of villains, and later a proxy form for Ultron's corruption towards other machines.
