Who the #$5^& is "Veridium"? o_o
That last choice makes me physically ill.
If I wrote a Metal Men comic, the first scene of the first issue would show Gold and the other robots reading a comic book with consternation and confusion. "D-d-d-doc! Wh-why are they suh-saying we're really human?" Doc would explain that the government -- which has taken a more hands-on approach to Magnus and the Metal Men ever since that whole Karnia/Plutonium/nearly destroying Washington thing a few years back -- thought it would help the public accept them more easily if it was believed they were humans with robot bodies instead of responsometer-driven AIs, and the mendacious comic book was just part of their propaganda campaign. Then a general would show up from the Pentagon with the latest assignment for the Metal Men, and we just forget that whole crappy mini-series ever happened...
Viridium? Bah! The Metal Men are robots, damn it, not a whole team of Robotman. The Metal Men aren't the Metal Men without their distorted personalities, Doc Magnus as the token human, or Platinum's Elektra complex.
Oh, and Lead.
Tin
Gold.
The whole "Metal Men are humans" and "Doc Magnus is Veridium" garbage occurred on Earth-8, and thus has been smooshed out of existence of Alexander Luthor.
How can you not love Mercury? Look at that face!
