History
Origin
Centuries ago on Krypton, the people of Argo City decided to institute a scientific government with it being ruled by a master computer. Once the machine was activated, it stated that it required aids to assist it and had the Kryptonian populace construct 100 metallic robots that were each 8 feet tall. Once its Machine Police were constructed, the master computer rebelled against the people of Argo City and attempted to impose its rule over them. Thus, it became known as the Machine-King but both it and its Machine Police were destroyed by the inhabitants of Argo City but not before many men died in the battle. The defeated master computers frame was kept as a monument of the mistake the people of Argo City had made and as a lesson of not repeating it. In time, the Machine-King's body came to reside in the Bottle City of Kandor. (Superman's Pal, Jimmy Olsen v1 #69)
