Amazo

Amazo is a fictional character who appears in DC Comics' American comic books. Gardner Fox and Mike Sekowsky invented the character, who originally appeared as a foe of the Justice League of America in The Brave and the Bold issue 30 (June 1960). The character has appeared in comic books and other DC Comics-related items, such as animated television programs, trading cards, and video games, since his introduction during the Silver Age of Comic Books.

Amazo is a villainous android built by Professor Ivo and equipped with technology that allows him to imitate the talents and capabilities of the superheroes he battles (typically the Justice League) as well as construct duplicates of their weapons (though these copies are less powerful than the originals). He frequently uses the Flash, Aquaman, Martian Manhunter, Wonder Woman, and Green Lantern as his default powers (the Justice League founding members that he first fought). He resembles and is frequently likened to the Marvel android villain Super-Adaptoid, who was created later.

Amazo began as the A-Maze Operating System in the DC Comics New 52 reality before evolving into an android capable of reproducing superhuman abilities. Later, a sentient Amazo Virus infects and takes over the mind of research scientist Armen Ikarus. The Amazo Virus infects other people using Ikarus as a host, giving them superpowers and controlling their thoughts before they die within 24 hours. Multiple Amazo robots debuted in live-action media in the Arrowverse crossover event Elseworlds.
