This afternoon we looked at Metallix, from the sadly failed Future Comics. If you missed it, the series followed four people who shared a liquid metal armor known as Metal-X, each using their own skills (which the suit can enhance) for whatever situation required them to use the armor. We got to know the military guy, Gil, in the fight that opened the story. He obviously brings military training, including using the Multi-Purpose Utility Team Trainer (MUTT) to help the others work on their combat skills in case there isn’t time to switch partners. So let’s meet the rest of team Metallix.

“Thunder” round 11

The Battlefield: Metallix #1 (Free Comic Book Day edition; Future Comics; April, 2003) “Mine!”

The Promoters: David Michelinie (writer), Ron Lim (penciler), Bob Layton (co-ploter/inker), Moose Baumann (colorist), and Albert DeGuzman (letterer)

First up we have Seth, a pacifist if I follow this correctly.

He’s also not very good at dodge ball.

Seth may not like to fight, but he doesn’t have to stand there and get pummeled, either.

I stand corrected.

Next up is Aidan, the team’s pilot, which is hard to both train and enhance. However, he’s also a tournament martial artist, who can play kick the can with a larger can thanks to Metal-X.

“Rider kick!”

Finally, there’s Blue (yes that’s her name), whose special talent are heightened senses, even more so with the suit on.

Lucky for you that was paint.

Technically we have three winners as three of the four Team Metallix team took out the fourth in training and that’s the victory I’m calling.
