Quote1 Hate to say it, but [the Smiths] were a little grim coming out of R&D. We switched from gloom to glam as best we could. Quote2
Tony Stark[src]

History

The Smiths were a group of builder robots developed by Stark Unlimited's R&D division. Due to the company suffering a shortage in the department of robotics, they had to make-do, and the Smiths are partially run on the compatibility algorithm from a dating app.

Based on little guidance from Tony Stark, the Smiths built the Hulkbot 3000 with the purpose to test out a behavior-modifying prototype device. Before testing out the device, the Hulkbot malfunctioned and went on a rampage, destroying one of the Smiths before being shut down by Stark. The Smiths were later deployed to defend the Stark Unlimited HQ from the dragon Sadurang,[1] and subsequently repaired the Manticore.[2]

Trivia

  • Tony Stark named the Smiths after the rock band from the '80s of the same name.[1]
  • Due to the Smith's systems making use of a dating app algorithm to function, the robots thought Stark and Jim Rhodes were a couple.[1]
