Meeting the Real Robot
Invincible Season 1 Moments
When we first meet Robot in Invincible, he seems like the pillar of the Teen Team, leading them in battle with his knowledge and amazing abilities. Shortly after he becomes the new leader of the Guardians of the Globe, though, it is revealed he has some machinations up his sleeve.
Not only do we find out that Robot freed the Mauler brother’s from prison, but we also witness him take blood from Rex Sloan without his permission, using it to create a new body for himself. As it turns out, his real body has been confined to a vat due to genetic deformities ever since he was born.
With the help of the Mauler brothers, he is eventually able to create a clone of himself using this DNA from Rex, transplanting his memories and personality into the clone’s body.
This clone looks exactly like a younger version of Rex, and after meeting up with the New Guardians, he introduces himself under Robot’s true identity: Rudolph Conners. When confronted about doing this, he simply tells The Guardians that he did it all so that he could finally have a functional body, choosing this shape because he knew Monster Girl – who he’s interested in – had a thing for Rex.
It is a crazy reveal, as Robot tells the truth about the situation and manages to become human – while also maintaining his powers – in one of the strangest ways possible.
