A Mandroid is a fictional suit of power armor which appears in the Marvel Comics Universe. It first appeared in ''Avengers'' #94 (December 1971), created by Roy Thomas and Neal Adams. ==Fictional history== Mandroids were originally designed by Tony Stark and built for use by S.H.I.E.L.D.. The concept was to provide the wearer with extensive offensive options so they could respond to various threats, including those from super-powered humans. Since then, Mandroid armor has been utilized by several criminals, including Moses Magnum.〔''X-Men'' #118〕 The Mandroid power armor is constructed of a titanium alloy that provides enhanced protection from all types of attack; the suit also offers a life support systems. Sensors include infrared scanners and radar/sonar, along with a full-range radio and intercom system. The suits increase the wearer's strength and durability to superhuman levels (a Mandroid once threw a car at Iron Man). The main armament is the array of weaponry: electrostatic beams, lasers, magnetic force "punch-blasters", "neuro-stunners", and tractor/repellor beams. On one occasion, the Mandroids were released against the Avengers during the "Kree-Skrull War", when a Skrull posing as politician H. Warren Craddock claimed that the Avengers were aiding the alien invasion. Although the Mandroids were able to overcome various heroes from Goliath to Captain America, Iron Man was able to defeat them by using his knowledge of their weaknesses to neutralize the suits without injuring the users.〔''Avengers'' #94〕 The Mandroid armor appears in the ''X-Treme X-Men'' storyline God Loves, Man Kills II. In it, William Stryker and a brainwashed Kitty Pryde wear the armor, with Stryker using Kitty's phasing ability, enhanced tenfold, to kill living beings as well as technology. During the events of the "Armor Wars", S.H.I.E.L.D. was sent to capture Iron Man. After discovering that elements of his technology had been stolen and given to both criminals organizations and government departments, Iron Man neutralized the S.H.I.E.L.D. Mandroids.〔''Iron Man'' #227〕 J. Jonah Jameson (after being elected Mayor of New York City) combines Mandroid technology with the Spider-Slayers in order to create a "Spider-Slayer Squad".〔''The Amazing Spider-Man'' #604〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mandroid」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
