Fictional character biography

Elektro was originally a supercomputer created by scientist Wilbur Poole. The computer, however, achieves independent thought and hypnotises Poole, and forces him to build an immense robotic body (60 ft in height) for protection and mobility. Calling itself Elektro and now armed with several dangerous weapons, the robot decides to conquer mankind and attacks the city of San Francisco. Poole, however, recovers from the hypnotic trance and deactivates Elektro by accessing one of the robot's feet and removing a transistor. ^[1]

Years later, Mr. Fantastic wipes Elektro's flawed programming and replaces it, and then "enrols" Elektro in his rehabilitation program, which involved Elektro being shrunken down to human size and hypnotically stripped of his powers so as to allow him to enter human society. Elektro then takes up a job as a mail attendant in the Baxter Building, and later joins fellow monsters Fin Fang Foom, Googam and Gorgilla as part of the "Fin Fang Four" to defeat the microscopic alien conqueror Tim Boo Baa. ^[2] Mister Fantastic is a Marvel Comics superhero who is the leader of the Fantastic Four. ... Fin Fang Foom is a fictional character and an alien dragon that appears in the Marvel Universe. ...
