**Machine Head** is a cyborg who operates as a crime lord.

## Appearance

Machine Head is a slender individual with light skin. As the name would suggest, his head and neck are entirely mechanical, made out of some grey colored metal alloy. His face plate is colored black, with yellow lines surrounding his mouth and eyes, as well as one line crossed horizontally over his forehead, similar to a Luchador's mask. His mouth and eyes are magenta, with a pink "T" shaped line on each eye which converge into a "U" shape inside his mouth. Whenever Machine Head perceives future events several LED lights flare-up around his temple regions.

As expected from a mob boss, Machine Head dresses sharp and opulent. He wears a white buttoned suite with matching white undershirt and white pants, a pink neck tie and black shoes.

## Personality

Machine Head comes across as fastidious, materialistic, short-tempered, and callous. His only concern is amassing wealth and shows no concern as to how many people get hurt or die because of demands. This is best evidenced when telling Titan that "sometimes you let people live when they need to die", likely referring to when Titan evacuated a building instead of burning them alive while still inside. He has little tolerance for failure and mistakes, and as such reacts violently and crass, such as taking shots at his bodyguard Isotope for whining over taking bullets for him. To complement his elitist criminal behavior, Machine Head is threatening and sly. He demanded that Titan continue working for him but phrasing it to sound as if that were his only option. He was also unmoved when Titan almost punching him and nonchalantly reminding Titan that he can order the death of his family at any moment.

Machine Head also enjoys luxuries and has no shame in showing off his wealth by wearing fine suits and Italian maple in his furniture and doors. Plus, his fortune makes him feel untouchable, as he was completely relaxed and indiferent when Invincible broke into his office and was standing in front of him. He even explains that it doesn't matter how powerfull may be someone like Invincible is, since he's got money enough to get as much allies he desires.

## History

Machine Head is a cyborg of unknown origin that controls a protection racket in the city. He is also involved in drug traffic, disguised as garbage disposal, and building insurance fraud, ordering the destruction of buildings but staged to look like accidents so he could collect the insurance money. After recruiting Titan and being impressed after he successfully retrieved a special microchip, Machine Head forced Titan into permanent employment after threatening his family if he didn't continue to work under him.

Some time later, both Invincible and Titan planned an attack on Machine Head but were confused that he had knowledge of the assault due to the aforementioned microchip which granted him the ability to predict future events and prepared by contracting Battle Beast, Magmaniac, Kursk, Furnace and Tether Tyrant to protect him. During the ensuing fight with Invincible, Titan and later the Guardians of the Globe, Machine Head is protected by Isotope, but is later apprehended by the Global Defense Agency where Cecil Stedman uses an electro-magnetic pulse, removing the microchip.
