  Metal Men - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Metal Men are a team of robot superheroes created by writer Robert Kanigher, pencilled by Ross Andru and inked by Mike Esposito for DC Comics in 1962.
The Metal Men's main foes included Chemo (a mobile plastic giant filled with various lethal chemicals), the robotic alien Missile Men, the Gas Gang, and other mechanical menaces such as a robotic T-Rex, robo-centaur, the Dazzler, and nefarious amusement park rides.
It was revealed that the Metal Men carry the intellects and personalities of Doc's brother, his fiancee, two lab workers, a janitor, and a pizza-delivery man. These unfortunates' personalities were accidentally transferred to blank robots in a lab accident.

The Metal Men stories were written and edited by Robert Kanigher, and drawn by Ross Andru and Mike Esposito, who also did the covers for the tales.
The Metal Men were a team of heroes, and it was customary at DC for teams to appear in longer stories which gave each of the members a chance to shine: see The Justice League of America stories, or later, The Legion of Super-Heroes.
Instead, the focus is on the efforts of the Metal Men to capture and subdue it.

Mercury: Wishes he was leader of the Metal Men.
Back in the sixties the Metal Men comic took all the plot convenient, pseudo science, poor writing, punning, and other weird elements that are the cornerstone of comic books, and not only combined them into a bimonthly comic, but also managed to satire those elements at the same time.
Sadly, the charms of the Metal Men seem to be lost on current writer.

If the Metal Men were really the souls of his friends, Will Magnus would have behaved very differently than he did in the original comics.
In the meantime, the human bodies of the Metal Men would have aged and probably died (unless they were in stasis).

The Metal Men, was a comic published in the 60s and 70s (?) that told of a group of robots built by Dr. Magnus (?).
He built each out of a specific metal and, with the hopes of the science of the future at that time holding sway, made each of them 'morphic', or able to change shape.
In this issue, the Metal Men, which is kind of a poor name as two of them seem to be female, well, as 'female' as the 'male' robots are male, find themselves confronted with a giant centaur.
