History: (What The--?!#11/1) - Robodevil was a gigantic, approximately five-story tall cyborg, enforcing the law in the name of crass commercialism.

(What The--?!#11/1 - BTS) - On Earth-9047, the Spirit of Vengeance was showing the local Daredevil the different alternate versions of himself from realities where his book had different famous comic writers. The experience gave Daredevil appreciation for his current creative team of Ann Nocenti and Lee Weeks.

(What The--?!#11/1) - Just as Daredevil found happiness again, the gigantic Robodevil stepped on and splattered him. Without even noticing the tiny human, Robodevil proceeded to warn the nearby citizens and to look for his girlfriend Electrolux the Assassin.

Comments: Created by Scott Lobdell, Lee Weeks, and Andy Kubert.

Robodevil only appears in full in a single panel, partially obscured by shadows, but is clearly designed in the likeness of Robocop from the 1987 movie and its 1990 sequel.

Earth-9047 is a humorous reality and has been shown to house more than one parody version of a given mainstream character. Robodevil, however, is presumed to be from a proper alternate reality due to the nature of the story, in which the Ghost Writer was taking Daredevil-9047 across different timelines to witness various alternate Daredevils. Robodevil presumably slipped through the cracks.
