H.E.R.B.I.E.

Real Name: Inapplicable

First Appearance: Fantastic Four (Vol. 1) #209, August 1979

Powers: H.E.R.B.I.E. (Humanoid Experimental Robot B-Type Integrated Electronics) was built by Mr. Fantastic and Master Xar of the extraterrestrial Xandarians, using technology to create a robot that could seek and locate Galactus. Though the original model was destroyed, Mr. Fantastic built a number of other H.E.R.B.I.E. robots to aid him in his laboratory and provide other services at the Baxter Building.

The original H.E.R.B.I.E. models possessed flight capacity, computer interfacing abilities, infrared scanners, retractable arms and metal coils which can wrap around a target, and fire-extinguishing foam. They formerly possessed offensive capabilities, which Mr. Fantastic has since removed. The humanoid model can remain operational even when its head has been removed from its body, contains metallic tendrils and lasers, and can operate devices from Mr. Fantastic's laboratory.
