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.
• Professor Ivo (identified as Arthur Ivo) appeared in the Justice League episode "Tabula Rasa" as Amazo's creator. Ivo worked for Lexcorp but was fired when Mercy Graves took over the company. When Lex Luthor went to see Ivo, he was already dead (contrary to the comics, where he was immortal) but Luthor found Amazo instead.
