After many years in stasis, the Metal Men, the magnificent creations of the late Dr. Will Magnus, are rediscovered and reactivated by his son, Will Magnus Jr., who had recently acquired his father’s old facility and assets. Now the Metal Men, with the help of Will Magnus Jr., must adjust to the modern world, while having to stop the villainous and monstrous artificial intelligence, Grid. I just thought this would be fun to make, a hypothetical Metal Men movie set in the DCU. And the Metal Men are teased in episode 3 of Creature Commandos, and Will Magnus showing up in that same episode. I did add some extra details such as Will Magnus having passed away by the time of the present day and his son (who I made up for this story) taking possession of his laboratory and inventions. And also making Grid the main villain of this story as a callback to the forever evil storyline, and doing something similar to what they did with Ultraman in the 2025 Superman film. Also Grid is supposed to be a blatant anti-A.I allegory, if that makes sense.
