existed as a robot equipped with a durable metallic shell. It was
programmed as a
pilot
and could communicate any findings to Cornelius Van Lunt. It also
apparently
housed a ray blaster in its chest (see comments).
History:
(Avengers
I#81) –
As Goliath, Scarlet
Witch and the Vision flew with the Red Wolf in search of Cornelius Van
Lunt.
Van Lunt sent out a Zodiac attack craft housing Searcher#1 and other
robots to
destroy the heroes. Attacking the heroes’ Quinjet, the robots were
quickly met
in battle by the Vision, who destroyed many of the robots. While
Searcher#1
attempted to report to Van Lunt that the craft was being taken down,
the Vision
increased his mass to the point that the craft could not stay in the
air and it
crashed to the ground, destroying Searcher#1 in the process.
Comments: Created by Roy
Thomas, John Buscema and
Tom Palmer.
According
to the Official Index
to the Avengers I#4 (December, 1987), all of the robots aboard the
Zodiac
attack craft (including Searcher#1) were equipped with ray guns in
their
chests.
