Fan Casting Robert Robertson III in The Dispatch Boys

A third-generation superhero, he inherited the mantle of Mecha Man from his father, Astral, and his grandfather, the original Mecha Man Prime. Unlike many of his peers, Robert possesses no innate superpowers; his abilities were entirely derived from a high-tech mechanical suit that cost him his multi-million dollar inheritance to maintain. Emotionally, Robert is defined by a deep-seated sense of duty and a reliance on his hero persona for self-worth. Having grown up in the shadow of an absent, idolized father, he views being Mecha Man as both a "duty and a curse." Despite experiencing grief and seasonal depression, he maintains a strong moral compass and a genuine desire to help others, even when he feels at his lowest.
