The Iron Giant

The Iron Giant, also known as Giant and Metal Man, is the titular main character from The Iron Giant series.
== Charactah Account ==
A fifty-foot-tall metal-eating robot who fell from space, so he and his creator(s) is presumed to be of extraterrestrial origin. The Iron Giant arrives on Earth slightly damaged and with no recollection of his function. Judging by the capabilities he shows later on, he was designed as a vanguard unit for planetary invasions... although it's not clear if Earth was his original intended target. Unaware of his own purpose when it arrives, he eventually encounters and befriends Hogarth.
While capable of incredible destructive powers and equipped with highly advanced and destructive weaponry, the Iron Giant would not ever want to harm anyone or any living thing. When he first came to Earth, the Iron Giant had a bump on his head, holding back the protocol his metal suit was trying to force. The Iron Giant's suit would activate in defense against weapons, but he can control it later on. It was hard to control his suit's defensive programming.
The Iron Giant may be very big and tall and might also contain weapons more deadly than anything Earth has ever seen... but he does enjoy playing with Hogarth, pretending to be Superman with him, and help make amazing, beautiful-looking sculptures and art with Dean. While normally peaceful after Hogarth saves his life, the Iron Giant's suit reacts defensively if it recognizes anything as a weapon, immediately attempting to destroy it in the protection of the Iron Giant but at first "Giant" couldn't stop his suit until later when he had learned how to control it. The Iron Giant's eyes have a bit of personality; his eyes color would change to different colors for different reasons: At night, his eyes are normally blue for a possible alien type of night vision; in the day, they turn yellow or white for a more normal type of vision to see regularly with the current light at hand. His eyes also turn red when his metal suit gets triggered into a defense mode by the spotting of a weapon and when he is being attacked.

== Trivia ==
* The specific creator of the giant is never revealed and unknown. The only hint comes in the opening sequence, specifically that the giant comes from somewhere beyond the Earth's moon. It can also be inferred from his weapons that the giant was sent to Earth for non-peaceful purposes. (Note: From a deleted scene from the film, he has a brief vision of robots similar to him destroying a different planet, which can suggest that the Iron Giant originally was a weapon of mass destruction and the giant's original objective was to destroy the planet.) However, the dream sequence suggests it arrived on Earth by accident.
* Vin Diesel voices him with some computer effects added; other actors such as Danny Glover, Robert De Niro, Sean Connery, Frank Welker, and James Earl Jones were also considered to do the voice.
* The Iron Giant appeared in the 2018 film, Ready Player One. It is first shown as being under construction within the OASIS as a commission for a patron. Later, it is used to fight in the battle to save the OASIS against Nolan Sorento with his Mechagodzilla and his army of Sixers.
** The Iron Giant also appeared in the 2021 film Space Jam: A New Legacy, as an audience member.
** The Iron Giant is a playable fighter in the 2022 game MultiVersus.
