History

The Mad Thinker created the Awesome Android using DNA replication notes stolen from Mister Fantastic. Splicing ape DNA with unstable molecules, the Thinker created an organic body in which he placed a computerized "brain" along with a solar charger; ultimately creating an artifical being that was part robot and part android.

The Thinker used the Awesome Android to commit crimes, but was stopped by the Fantastic Four. The Thinker continued to use the Android, until he built more effective robots.

Later, the Super-Adaptoid used the Android in his group of robots, Heavy Metal. In a battle with the Avengers, Namor ripped off the Android's head and let it's body sink into the ocean.

The Android began calling himself Awesome Andy, and took a job working for the law offices of Goodman, Lieber, Kurtzberg, & Holliway. Andy was a hard worker, and everyone at work got along well with him. Andy wore a chalkboard to communicate with other workers. Although he was gravely injured in a battle with Titania, Mr. Holliway threatened to sue Reed Richards for all he's worth until he agreed to repair Andy.

Currently Andy is out in the world trying to find himself.

Powers and Abilities

Powers

Mimicry: Andy possesses the unique ability to mimic certain characteristics or attributes of those he makes physical contact with. For example, he's taken on the rock-like hide of the Thing, the ice coating of Iceman's body, or Captain America's physique. He can only mimic a single attribute at a time and can retain the attribute for up to an hour. Andy also possesses variable superhuman attributes of his own without the need to mimic those of others.

Superhuman Strength: Andy is superhumanly strong and the limits of his strength can vary greatly. For example, if he were to make contact with beings such as Thor, his strength would be increased to the point of being able to lift far in excess of 100 tons for approximately 1 hour. His normal level of strength, however, is signifigantly less. Under normal circumstances, Andy can lift about about 25 tons.

Superhuman Stamina: Andy's musculature produces considerably less fatigue toxins during physical activity than the musculature of a human being. Under normal circumstances, he can exert himself at peak capacity for several days before fatigue begins to impair him.

Superhuman Durability: Andy's extremely dense bodily tissues are highly resistant to physical injury. He's able to withstand high caliber bullets, falls from tremendous heights, exposure to extremes in temperature and pressure, powerful impact forces, corrosive materials, and powerful energy blasts without being injured. By using his mimicry powers, Andy can temporarily increase his physical resistance even further, provided he makes contact with a sufficiently durable being.

Superhuman Agility: In spite of his great size, Andy's agility, balance, and bodily coordination are enhanced to levels that are beyond the natural physical limits of the finest human athlete. Provided he makes contact with a superhumanly agile being, he can add that beings agility to his own for up to 1 hour.

Superhuman Reflexes: Andy's reflexes are similarly enhanced and are superior to those of the finest human athlete.

Wind Expulsion: Andy is capable of generatin gand expeling powerful winds from his mouth at speeds of up to 180 miles per hour.

Limited Shapeshifting: Andy has demonstrated the ability to manipulate the shape and size of his body to some degree. He can transform his fists into giant blocks and has been seen to increase his height by as much as 10%.

Abilities

Although Andy is generally peaceful, his physical attributes make him a formidable hand to hand combatant even though he's had no training. Andy's intelligence has also increased over time, now possessing the ability to write so that he can now communicate more thoroughly with others.

Weaknesses

Andy lacks the ability to speak and has a motor nerve terminal located under each arm pit, which acts essentially as a kill switch.

Trivia
