| * In 2227, the new city of Metropolis, which exist over a thousand-year-old ancient European city, is built by Joh Fredersen (the current identity of Vandal Savage). From Metropolis, Fredersen rules the world. After his son Freder is enthralled by Maria, the workers' leader, Joh Fredersen instructs his old rival, the great inventor Rotwang (possible descendant of Alexei Luthor) to build use a robot invented by him called Futura to pose as Maria and discredit her, but Rotwang instead uses Futura to destroy Metropolis, a frustrated Fredersen first sends Futura back to the past of 1942 to prevent Maria from ever being born, then travels back in time to 1986 to gain power from Cthulhu in order to subjugate the world even more. Futura appears in the year 1942, where Robotman dubs her Mekanique. Mekanique persuades members of the All-Star Squadron to complete her task, thus ensuring Joh Fredersen's dominance in the future. However, Mekanique also intervenes in her own past, ensuring that she receives a robotic duplicate of Gloria Giles' brain before she is sent back into time.
