Notes

Although this character was originally introduced during DC's Earth-One era of publication, their existence following the events of the 1985–86 limited series Crisis on Infinite Earths remains intact. However, some elements of the character's Pre-Crisis history may have been altered or removed for Post-Crisis New Earth continuity, and should be considered apocryphal.

Trivia

During the Metal Men short appearance in Doom Patrol (Volume 5) #2, it is shown that Mercury is a huge fan of Douglas the Robot Hunter (ironic considering he is in fact a robot).
