Machine Head's Crew
CharacterA crew of mid-tier supervillains led by the Chicago crime boss Machine Head, gathered from Titan's Tower to fend off Invincible and Titan before the Guardians of the Globe broke them and the Global Defense Agency made the arrests.
Overview
Machine Head's Crew was an assembly of moderately powerful supervillains gathered under the crime boss Machine Head. Based out of Chicago and headquartered in Titan's Tower, the outfit served as muscle for its leader's operations.
Role
The group's defining moment came when Invincible and Titan moved to bring Machine Head down. His lieutenant Isotope answered by summoning Battle Beast, Tether Tyrant, Furnace, Magmaniac, and Kursk to hold the line. The heroes fought through them, and once the Guardians of the Globe arrived the tide turned further, though the villains brutalized both Monster Girl and Black Samson before Robot rallied the team to take down three of them. Battle Beast, never a true member and dissatisfied with the whole affair, simply walked away, while Machine Head and the rest were hauled off and arrested by the Global Defense Agency.
Notable Members
Machine Head originally ran the crew, with Titan later stepping into the leadership role and Isotope acting as second in command. Its enforcers included Kursk, Tether Tyrant, Magmaniac, and Furnace, plus Battle Beast as a short-term hired hand rather than a genuine member. The lineup borrows loosely from Marvel's Sinister Six, with Machine Head echoing the Kingpin, Tether Tyrant recalling Doctor Octopus, Kursk mirroring Electro, and Magmaniac evoking the Molten Man.
