M.A.R.S.

M.A.R.S. (Metalic Advanced Robotic Soldier) is a comic series published by DC Comics. It follows a robot named M.A.R.S. (or MARS as it's spelled a lot of the time) who is from a made up planet named Omnicron. He is sent to Earth to defeat a race of aliens known as the Red Spartans.

Plot
M.A.R.S.'s real name is Axos, he is from the planet Omnicron and was one of the ten M.A.R.S. soldiers of the planet. For many years the Omnicronians where at war with a race of aliens known as Red Spartans. The Red Spartan males are large beasts who live only to kill while the females are very intelligent but are extremely sadistic. The only member of the males who has some form of intelligence is the king, Phanatos, though he is more or less a barbarian warlord, while the queen, Eridite, is a cold calculating monarch who thinks bathing in the blood of people younger than her will keep her young forever. The Omnicron are usually peaceful, but if they are invaded they do fight back, and because of this the war began. The Omnicron managed to fight off the Spartans, who fled to another planet. The ruler of the Omnicrons sent Axos to chase after the Spartans, to make sure no other planet will have to face their wrath.

M.A.R.S. of Omnicron
Barbara Ann Black is driving home late one night when suddenly, out of nowhere, what she thinks is a meteorite crashes in front of her. She gets out of her car to inspect what it is, with it turning out to be a badly beaten M.A.R.S. She attempts to touch M.A.R.S., only for him to wake up and grab her arm. He pulls her close and stares at her, as a describes his vision slowly returning to him. When he can completely see, he realizes Barbara isn't a Red Spartan and leaves her alone. He begins walking off like nothing happened, but Barbara follows him to find out what's going on. She asks him every question that's running through her head and he answers them all as fast as he can, revealing everything about the war and the Red Spartans. This blows her away, and she asks if they should call the police, only for M.A.R.S. to reveal a Red Spartan's skin is extremely tough, meaning regular Earth technology couldn't do anything to them. M.A.R.S. then asks a question of his own, wanting to know where he is. Barbara reveals he's on Earth, much to his delight as Earth was his target. He pushes a button on his wrist which scans the area, revealing there are no Spartans near by. Unsure of what to do, Barbara decides to leave, only for M.A.R.S. to reveal his ship broke up while he was landing on Earth, meaning he has no where to live anymore. Because of this, he asks if he could live with Barbara. Still not sure if M.A.R.S. is a hero or a villain, she's too afraid to say no and agrees to let M.A.R.S. live in her apartment.

The A.R.G.U.S. Chronicles
M.A.R.S., who is now living with Barbara, isn't attempting to keep himself secret what so ever, as when a pizza man shows up to the door, he points a laser gun at him before lowering it after realizing he isn't a threat. On the plus side, this did get them a free pizza. However, Barbara isn't very happy as she thinks someone from the government could notice M.A.R.S. and take him away, but M.A.R.S. assures her this could never happen. He turns out to be very wrong about this, as later in the day a group of A.R.G.U.S. agents burst in and take M.A.R.S. away. M.A.R.S. is taken to the A.R.G.U.S. base where he has a face to face meeting with the head of A.R.G.U.S., Amanda Waller. Waller reveals that she thinks M.A.R.S. is a killer robot sent here to wipe out mankind. He assures her he isn't, but she still has him locked up in a prison, revealing that tomorrow they're going to take him apart. M.A.R.S. tries to find a way out of the prison but fails each time. That is until he hears banging coming from bellow him. Realizing that the floor is made of a weak metal (or at least weak to him) he ripes open the part of the floor the banging is coming from, revealing Amanda Waller laying under the floor.

She reveals that the person who locked him up isn't her but an alien woman with red skin pretending to be her. M.A.R.S. instantly knows that the fake Waller is a Red Spartan. He quickly fills Waller in, as Waller opens up the cell door, claiming that she knows every secret in the base. The two are then forced to work together to defeat the Spartan, who finds out the two have escaped. Because of this, she sends all guards to their location, claiming that the real Waller is the imposter. The guards open fire, but M.A.R.S. shows off the fact he is completely bullet proof, so because of this the Spartan sends in her last line of defence and unleashes the Suicide Squad. M.A.R.S. fights the Squad for a bit before Waller calls on Deadshot. The two stare at each other with Deadshot punching Waller before saying that she's the real deal. After finding this out, the Squad works with M.A.R.S. and Waller to take on the Spartan, who turns off her holographic disguise, only to reveal that two guards who are always seen around her are too Spartans. The Squad fight the Spartans, showing off just how strong the Spartans are, but during the whole thing M.A.R.S. does nothing. However, just when it looks like the Spartans have the upper hand, M.A.R.S. proclaims his charging is done as he fires a large beam from his chest which completely wipes out the Spartan soldiers. After all this, Waller reluctantly thanks M.A.R.S. and has him throw Deadshot out a window as payback for the punch.
