The Mechanical Man was a robot designed by a scientist named D’Ara and built by the criminal mastermind Mado, a female Italian mob boss who wore a hood and a mask over her mouth. After escaping from a prison hospital, Mado killed D’Ara and kidnapped his niece, Elena, to get blueprints for the robot. Elena’s brother built a similar robot with which to defeat Mado’s Mechanical Man. The Mechanical Man was about 10 feet tall, capable of knocking down metal doors, running as fast as a car, and burning through steel with heat beam projected through its hands. The robot was nearly indestructible, and strong enough to lift a 1000 pound safe over its head with ease, and use it as a weapon.
