Hero of the Week- Platinum

From DC Fandom.com- Platinum is a liquid metal robot made of platinum with almost limitless shape shifting abilities. She was designed by Dr. William Magnus a brilliant robotic expert along with along with five other robots: Gold, Mercury, Iron, Tin, and Lead. These robots were known as the Metal Men.  Platinum was often referred to as "Tina" and was infatuated with Dr. Magnus, who never reciprocated her affections. Dr. Magnus tells her she has a faulty Responsometer which he believes makes her act like a real human woman. Her personality is very fiery and tempestuous and she gets very jealous whenever Doc has a date and will happily try to split them up and get his attention back to her. She has a personality clash with Mercury, the other hot head of the Metal Men. Back to me:

I love the original Metal Men.  That first run was gold, though due to the way DC Comics was run, it was very episodic.  But you learned actual science here and there!  Heck, I knew girls that liked the group because of Platinum.  Her antics with Mercury were always fun as well.
