5. Machine Man

Aaron Stack, aka the Machine Man, aka X-51, is the originator of the phrase My robot brain needs beer, and for that we are eternally grateful.

Stack first appeared in the Marvel comic book 2001: A Space Odyssey #8. If you just made the Scooby-Doo confused noise, that’s about the correct response. You see, back in the seventies, Marvel would often adapt movies into insane series that had very little to do with the movies themselves. Seriously, give those old Marvel Star Wars comics a read, they’re crazy town.

Aaron Stack was eventually integrated into the Marvel Universe proper as a grumpy robot man, who hates things and brandishes a buzzsaw arm. This is the kind of character comics could use more of. He even had SHIELD build him a Life Model Decoy of former teammate Photon that would cry for him on cue. That is next level spite.

Plus, Stack has, thankfully, never totally abandoned his swimmer’s cap and goggles look, nor his awesomely hilarious stretchy machine arms. X-51 keeps it old school.
