Fictional character biography

Manbot is a biomechanical construct working for Canada's Department H and is a member of the Canadian superhero team known as Alpha Flight. He is also acting as a spy for Department H so as to monitor Alpha Flight surreptitiously. [1]

He goes with the senior members of the team to the city of Orloo to investigate worsening weather conditions. He assists them again when the junior members have been brainwashed by the villain Mesmero. During this incident, Sasquatch goes out of control and Manbot restrains him with the M-11 nerve toxin. [2]

Following the disbanding of Alpha Flight, the Box robot invented by Roger Bochs and most recently used by Madison Jeffries was merged with Bernie Lechenay to create Manbot. Manbot had the second team under constant surveillance, controlled by Clarke, the brainwashing, manipulating leader of Alpha Flight. Anything he learns was instantly reported to Department H. He was also a safeguard in case any of the team members went rogue. He was equipped to be able to eliminate any of his team mates should the Department deem it necessary. Manbot rarely spoke and never showed emotion.

Manbot's surveillance cameras were in use when the Alpha Flight team confronts the X-Men. It turns out the team has gone a bit too far distance-wise and Manbot's transmissions go off and on. The team had been manipulated into hunting Wolverine, falsely believing he had murdered Madison Jeffries. After conflict with the X-Men, they temporarily settle their differences through diplomacy. [3] This encounter is shown through Logan's point of view in the pages of 'X-Men'. [4]

He journeys to the 'Microverse' with the rest of the team and comes under personal attack by the citizens there. After Alpha Flight and the heroic Micronauts save him, his internal systems allow his allies to return him. On the way, he warns Department H is being destroyed. [5]

Manbot helps protect the Department H facilities from being destroyed by the criminal organization known as the 'Zodiac'. [6]

After the death of Clarke, Manbot reveals to Vindicator that he has important information about Clarke. Vindicator is very interested, as it seems to hint at ways the team can discover just what Clarke had done to them in the past.
