History

Origins[]

Flexo II is a modified replica of the original created from a sample harvested by Joel and Joshua Williams, who placed the original Flexo into stasis after it went AWOL during World War II.[1] Flexo's subsequent activities remain unrevealed; however, when Jimmy Woo was selecting his Agents of Atlas, Flexo was one of the considered candidates; however, he was ultimately not chosen.[2]

Modern Age[]

When A.R.M.O.R. took on the task of stopping the spread of various zombie contaigens that were spreading across the multiverse, they charged Howard the Duck with gathering a team to stop the zombie infection spreading through Earth-12591, a world where the Nazis won World War II due to the zombie infection. He gathered together a team called the Ducky Dozen including the new and improved Flexo.[3] Upon their arrival on Earth-12591, Flexo and his teammates clashed with the zombified Invaders and were helped to safety with the assistance of that reality's last surviving heroes, the Suffragists.

The two groups managed to break into a Nazi stronghold where they recruited the aid of the last human Nazi, scientist Zephyr Zog who explained to them that the zombie plague was caused by the Death Spore Flower when it was uncovered by Adolf Hitler and the Nazis, and it ultimately spread to the Asgardians of this reality.[4] Flexo assisted in piloting Zephyr's train to the Nazi's main headquarters but was helpless to stop an attack by the zombified Valkyrie due to the fact he was pinned to a chair. He watched helplessly as the Asgardian warrior consumed Zog. Flexo and the others managed to win the battle and gain access to the Nazi stronghold with the aid of Loki.[5] Inside the compound, they uncovered the secret weapon that the Nazis intended to use to breach the dimensional barriers into other realities, the Asgardian goats Tanngrisnir and Tanngnjostr who were turned into zombies by Thor and ate Odin, gaining the power to breach the barriers between realities.[6]

When the group was discovered by the Nazis, Loki teleported away with Timothy Dugan and Miss America to locate Fat Boy, the American made atomic bomb that the Nazis had procured in order to destroy the zombies invading this reality, leaving the others to fend for themselves. Tanngrisnir and Tanngnjostr broke loose and attacked the remaining members of the Ducky Dozen, and Flexo was ripped in half by the creatures. Flexo was later atomized when the heroes successfully detonated the bomb to destroy the zombies.[7]

Attributes

Powers

Symbiote Physiology: A symbiote sculpted into the shape of a humanoid robot, Flexo has "the speed of a bullet, the strength of an ox, and the ability to zoom through the air like a bird." He has a malleable body that allows him to stretch into different rudimentary shapes. Normally, bullets that are fired through him pass through and the "living rubber" compound that comprises his body reseals itself. The Williams brothers claimed that holes punctured through Flexo can release a powerful knockout gas, though this was a lie to cover up Flexo having eaten Dr. Murdo and his henchmen.[8]

Abilities

In his original design, Flexo purportedly had a highly rubberized body that made him bulletproof and highly damage resistant. The original version of Flexo could also fly, as well as move at superhuman speeds. The robot was also incredibly strong. When he was upgraded in the modern age, he apparently lost many of his abilities, such as his ability to fly but was still highly resistant to damage. His body was also outfitted with a chest compartment which he could store objects in.
