History:
(Marvel Two-In-One I#27 (fb) - BTS) - While the Deathlok cyborg of
Earth-7484 was in his possession, the Fixer made a detailed computerized
template of him.
(Marvel Super Heroes MLA2 Adventure
"After Midnight (fb) - BTS) - Some time later the Fixer and his partner
Mentallo formed their own criminal organization, the Faces of Fear,
duping Mr. Fear (Alan Fagan) into fronting the gang so that he would
take the fall if their activities were targeted by crimefighters or law
enforcement. They also recruited several supervillain operatives, many
either controlled or unwittingly influenced by Mentallo with the aid of
Fixer's technology. However, the Faces soon came into conflict with
Hammerhead's Maggia, which in turn drew the unwanted attention of
several street level heroes who ultimately captured Fagan.
(Marvel Super Heroes MLA2 Adventure "Night Moves (fb) - BTS) - Needing a new front man for the Faces, Fixer constructed a Deathlok Simulacrum, and the Faces set up base in the House of Madness amusement arcade in Chinatown, entering into an alliance with the Si Fan against Hammerhead's organization. As the heroes gradually worked their way through the Faces closer to the leaders, Fixer and Mentallo departed the House, leaving behind the Simulacrum with orders to kill the meddlers, either with robotic monsters they had placed in the arcade, or by himself if the heroes got past the other robots.
(Marvel Super Heroes MLA2 Adventure "Night Moves) - Following a long trail of leads, the heroes ultimately reached the House of Madness, battled their way past the numerous robotic versions of iconic horror movie monsters, and confronted the Deathlok Simulacrum and six Halloween masked thugs. Only the Simulacrum proved any kind of real threat, and even it was soon defeated.
Comments: Created by Anthony Herring.
The Deathlok Simulacrum appeared in a module
for the Marvel Super-Heroes Roleplaying Game released by TSR, but wasn't
actually pictured; however, he presumably looked pretty much identical
to Deathlok, and thus I assume similar physical stats. The game
identifies Fixer AND Mentallo as the creators, but based on their
respective skill sets it is probably safe to say that Mentallo didn't do
much if any of the actual construction work.
The membership of the Faces of Fear is a
little unclear - there are many supervillains attached to the
organization but it's hard to say in many cases if they are actually
members or just duped or controlled, and even then the game's not clear
which if any actually deal with the Deathlok Simulacrum. As such I've
only listed the ones that appear in the chapter where the Simulacrum
shows up, and even then I'm not entirely sure if the robots in the
amusement arcade (who were simple
automatons following preset instructions) should be counted as
members of the group or just tools used by them.
