Like his other five comrades in the Metal Men, Iron was a robot who thought he was human. However, he didn’t cause the Metal Men’s creator Dr. Will Magnus nearly as much trouble as some of the others—like hot-headed Mercury, timid Tin, or impetuous Platinum.

Iron was always reliable, good-natured, and strong—the group’s powerhouse—who, like the others, was able to form himself into an infinite variety of shapes. Always a team player, Iron kept himself apart from the infighting that plagued the group of free-thinking and fabulous fabrications.
