Appearance: Captain

Monster" (Kenner See-a-Show slide, 1967)
Powers/Abilities: The
Metallic Monster had superhuman
strength sufficient enough to swat Captain America away with little
effort. He
was composed of superhumanly durable metals but could be easily
short-circuited
if overloaded with electricity.
History:
(Captain America in "The Metallic Monster") - The rampaging Metallic Monster caught the attention of Captain America and Bucky. Warning Bucky to stand back while he found a weak point in the Metallic Monster's body, Captain America was easily kicked aside by the Monster. Noticing the knocked-down power line, Bucky connected the power line to the Metallic Monster's leg, short-circuited the robot. Resting on the Metallic Monster's body, Bucky was told by Captain America that he had earned his trophy for the day.

The

This
story appeared to take place
during Cap's wartime days, as Bucky was present. The slide predated
Rick Jones'
tenure as Bucky, but I suppose one could argue that it was either Jeff
Mace or
William Nasland with
Fred Davis; however, the slide also
predates the retcon of
the other Caps, so I suppose
when the slide's strip was written, it was Steve Rogers.
One
has to wonder how Bucky was
able to handle a live wire without protection ... Perhaps knowing from
news
reports
that they would be going up against a robot, Captain America and
Bucky wore
insulated costumes to protect themselves from any power surges given
off by the
Monster?
