-Manbot's the most forgotten of the second Alpha Flight team (and that's saying something); a guy who was built into the recovered Box armour, and turned into a government spy for Alpha Flight. He eventually overcame his programming and turned good or something, but he basically vanished with the end of the series (reassigned to Beta Flight) and never reappeared. He is such a minor character that there are only two pictures of him available on ComicVine.
-Robots can be very expensive in 3e, especially if they've got a whole swack of powers and abilities on them. Manbot here is a mere PL 9, but costs over TWO HUNDRED POINTS, because he's got a ton of junk attached to him. Snares, Missiles, Blasts, Immunities, the works.
