Fictional history

When Will Magnus' brother David learns that a villain called the Nameless will use the Metal Men to destroy the world, he steals a time travel device created by T. O. Morrow to ensure the Metal Men are never invented. David takes the Kamarak, the hybrid technical/magical furnace that created the Four Horsemen of Apokolips from Oolong Island and uses it to change the Metal Men into radioactive metals. [Metal Men v3 #4 (Jan. 2008)] The change overrides their responsometers, temporarily turning them against Will Magnus. To throw his brother off his trail, David uses a robotic duplicate of Morrow to lead them. [Metal Men v3 #2 (Nov. 2007)]

With help from the Robot Renegades, Will Magnus is able to restore his Metal Men. [Metal Men v3 #3 (Dec. 2007)] Later, Magna-Tech, a corporation led by robots from the future, uses the Kamarak to transform the Metal Men again, but Lead and Gold are able to resist their transformation and free their teammates. [Metal Men v3 #6 (April 2008)]
