Machine Man is X-51, the last in a line of experimental robots created in a secret underground complex in America. One such robot, [[X-35]], turned violent after experiencing an existential crisis. To stop his rampage, an elderly scientist destroyed X-35 by detonating the explosive failsafe built into every X series robot.
Machine Man is X-51, the last in a line of experimental robots created in a secret underground complex in America. One such robot, [[X-35]], turned violent after experiencing an existential crisis. To stop his rampage, an elderly scientist destroyed X-35 by detonating the explosive failsafe built into every X series robot.


Becoming aware of the detonation order, Professor [[Abel Stack]] removes the explosive planted in X-51 who, as an experiment, he has taken into his home and raised like a son. X-51, a.k.a. Aaron, is confused by his "father's" unusual behaviour. Abel insists that he has taught Aaron everything he can, and it is now Aaron's time to go out and explore the world. Abel gives Aaron a humanised mask to help him blend in to the world of men, and as a final request, has Aaron scan a photograph of him to conserve forever in his memory bank.

As his son flies the nest, Abel grimly regards the failsafe circuit before he is engulfed by the explosion.
