The sometimes whimsical, sometimes melancholy Doctor Will Magnus is exposed by his own creations. Gold, the field leader of the Metal Men, discovers Will Magnus's best kept secrets: a hidden robot graveyard proving the Metal Men are not quite as unique as the world has been led to believe. More than just that but the Metal Men are quite literally extensions of Will Magnus himself, each one programmed to be an exaggerated digital copy of various aspects of his own personality and life experiences.

On top of stirring up some very odd questions about Platinum and her unwavering hots for Doc Magnus, this also shows us that the Metal Men are kinda like that dude in Memento. They're living their lives as heroes while trying to figure out their place in the world as "living robots" but every time they get anywhere near the truth, boom, Magnus flips his kill switch and starts the whole charade all over again.

If that wasn't crazy enough, Challenger's Mountain is under heavy excavation and exploration as they try to uncover all the effects of it's time lost in the Dark Multiverse. As such a team of spelunking scientists come across something crazy: The Nth Metal Man! The bizarrely self aware psychic metal being is furious and demands only one thing, Doctor Will Magnus himself.
