History
The Cauldron was hired by a unnamed party to steal a device that would make dimensional travel cheaper. He was pursued by Goliath and The Thing. Cauldron tried to beat the Thing by blasting him with his boiling liquid. It didn't work. The Thing punched Cauldron, leaving a imprint of his fist in Cauldron's face. Defeated, the Cauldron refused to say who had hired him and that the Thing had given him whiplash. He was taken into S.H.I.E.L.D. custody.[2]
Cauldron later sued the Thing for damages from the fight, hiring Goodman, Lieber, Kurtzberg & Holliway.[3] He lost the case according to Quasimodo's research on him where he can't tell if Cauldron was a man in a cauldron-like body or a magical creation as the authorities were unable to remove the armor from him.[4]Attributes
Powers
- Cauldron Body: Cauldron's body is made of small, metallic cauldrons which contain a boiling green liquid which makes Cauldron hot to the touch.[5]
- Liquid Spray: The liquid burns at a temperature of 800° Fahrenheit and can be released through his mouth as a weapon. It can reach a distance of 20 feet and is instantly replenished.[5]
- Superhuman Durability: His metal body gives him a high level of durability and makes him bulletproof and immune to heat[5] but it wasn't enough to protect him from someone as strong as the Thing.[2]
- Superhuman Strength: Cauldron is superhumanly strong and can lift 15 tons.[5]
- Regenerative Healing Factor: Cauldron's metal kettles regenerate when damaged.[5]
