6. Colonel Computron

Colonel Computron is a relic of that period of time when the Internet was just sort of barely starting to be a thing, and everything took advantage of it. This is around when hilariously outdated movies like Tron and War Games (both of which I unambiguously love, by the way) were released. A buddy of mine and I have started referring to these types of Internet fad films as “information superhighway movies” after the humorously outdated way people in them talk about the “new phenomenon”.

But back to the Colonel. He appeared suddenly around the time of the Flash’s trial. He appeared to be based on the Captain Computron toy produced by the Wiggins toy company. The same toy company DIRECTLY responsible for Captain Boomerang’s existence, so there’s that too.

Maybe someone in the DCU needs to start going around stripping business licenses from companies that create MORE THAN ONE supervillain. Just a thought.

So the Colonel’s powers came from his giant computer suit, but since this was the eighties, that whole thing probably became obsolete twenty years ago. I don’t even think you could run Undertale on that machine, much less Crysis 3.
