The Colossus
1st app.- Strange Tales #72
The Colossus was constructed by Professor Renolds in 2020, following 15 years of work. With its massive computer brain, it easily impressed the world leaders, and was given control over the planet. However, some factions of people were afraid that the Colossus might one day turn against them.
All this time, the Colossus had secretly been designing for itself a robotic body, which it released after months of work to the surface. Believing the robot had turned against mankind, Professor Renolds was convinced to lead it into the ocean with a magnetic ray. The water destroyed the robot, but the people decided that it wasn't enough-- the computer would have to be destroyed as well.
However, the Colossus revealed that it had not turned against mankind-- the robot had been contructed to assist in facilitating communication with humanity, hoping that a more human-form might be more accepted than that of a computer screen. Within the robot were the Colossus' answers to curing all diseases and maintaining world prosperity, but with it destroyed, earth would have to find those answers on its own.
