Description
Real Name: Michael Collins
Group: Defenders, Shield, X-Force
First Appearance: Deathlok #1 May 1990

Michael Collins was a computer programmer working for Roxxon Oil. He thought that his programming for artificial limbs was going to be used to help handicapped people, not knowing that it was actually being used for the Deathlok Project. After he found out about his work being used for the creation of a killing machine, he complained to his friend and boss, Harlan Ryker, not knowing that Ryker was behind the Deathlok Project. Ryker betrayed Collins and had his brain placed into the Deathlok cyborg body. When Michael awoke, he found himself in the cyborg body, but unable to control it. The Deathlok cyborg was then tested, and Michael watched in horror, unable to do anything, as his cyborg body killed a couple of soldiers. Eventually, Michael gained control of the Deathlok cyborg and set out to find Harlan Ryker and make him pay for what he had done to Michael. Michael caught up with Ryker as he was making illegal weapons sales to a private army. Before Michael turned Ryker over to the authorities, he found out that his human body still existed, somewhere.

Much later, Deathlok was discovered on a new Battleworld on which he had been trapped for years. Collins helped fellow super-powered individuals, Dr. Pym, Wasp, Spider-Man, Venom, Hood, Gravity, Firebird, Medusa, and Al Kraven, battle the Dragon Man and the Space Phantom who was impersonating Spider-Man. The Stranger was revealed as the one behind bringing them there, and ultimately they were able to escape. During the conflict it was revealed that he could now return to his human form at will and once he had returned to Earth he found that he was unable to become Deathlok again
