History

The Metal Men were a covert ops group, composed of their commander, Marcus Moore, his second-in-command, Sam Schwartz, John Holliday (Hawkman), Francis Powell (Black Lightning), Carl Walters (Gravedigger), and Rey Quinones (Lobo). They were called the Metal Men for their seeming invulnerability, and their habit of coming back from dangerous missions without a scratch on any of them. They disbanded when Moore was murdered by one of the group's contacts, Raven, after trying to use a war weapon, the Red Tornado warhead, on a civilian population.

Schwartz later became President of the United States, with Holliday his chief of staff. Moore is later revealed to have survived, and controls the secret agency Nightwing, with Walters and Powell assisting him. Moore has had the shot part of his face replaced with metal, and has gained the nickname Deadman for his survival.
