Jetter Mars

Jetter Mars (ジェッターマルス Jettā Marusu) is a robot-boy designed by Osamu Tezuka and voiced by Mari Shimizu, he is the main character of the series Jetter Mars. Jetter Mars is not known by many as a classic series the same way his cousin-series Astro Boy is, and is actually one of Osamu Tezuka's more obscure works, despite being based on the classic character.
==Bio==
Jetter Mars is a powerful robot built in the image of a boy, he has a body that can be used for destruction of cataclysmic proportions, and a near-human artificial intelligence. He finds himself often in the predicament of choosing to use his gifts for pacific or destructive purposes. Interestingly, Mars is a boy named after the god of war in Roman Mythology. Dr. Yamanoue, who created Mars's body, tries to use the robot in military affairs while Dr. Kawashimo, creator of Mars's artificial intelligence, strongly opposes that idea. As a result, an android is torn between its "body for fighting" and "heart for loving."
