More Metal Men
Select paged from the first three installments of Giffen, DeMatteis, and Maguire's Metal Men feature...

* The Metal Men search for an ancient ruby and in the process awaken a giant stone idol:

That's Mercury sounding off, if you're wondering.

* Gold, Platinum, and Copper, on a mission in space:

* Doc Magnus takes the Metal Men to get their driver's licenses, but they forget Copper behind:

Miss Romero's home's been taken over by psychotic actor Leonard Ruttman, star of TV's "Douglas: Robot Hunter." He's having trouble distinguishing between reality and his show.

No, haven't read it - I have little cash to spend on comics these days. Still, your being creeped out only confirms my suspicions - they've turned Tina into a creepy robot stalker. Damn you, DC! The whole POINT of the Tina/Doc relationship is that it is love, genuine love, at least on her part, and occasionally hinted to be reciprocal, through the virtue of methinks-he-doth-protest-too-much.
A possible theory, which I just came up with, is that he's so flustered about the situation because he initially created her in the image of his perfect woman, with the hopes of HIM loving HER, as a sort of romantic version of a sex doll, someone for him to dance and romance in his lonely hours and eventually woo her into reciprocating. In short, he likes 'em hard to get, and designed her that way - he wasn't in the least expecting her to fall madly in love with him virtually from the first moment. HE'S used to being the dominant one in the relationship - he doesn't know how to deal with a devoted, lovestruck woman following him around with hearts in her eyes, let alone a robot one. He DOES love her, because he created her to be loved - he just gets all jittery about the situation because she IS faulty - HE'S supposed to be wooing HER, dammit! - and he has his pride as an inventor.
Anyway. My fanboy ramblings aside, Tina IS NOT A STALKER! Her love is pure! She loves Doc more than any robot has ever loved a man! STOP FILTHYING UP THE WATERS, DC!
