Near death, key parts of his robots were incorporated into his body to sustain him and he gained many of the robots' abilities, including a 360° field of vision, circuits for nerves to eliminate pain, large data memory, plus extendable (at least 15') metal arms that can be controlled remotely (at close distance) if severed. He has an encompassing electro-bubble defense shield that levitates and easily withstands bullets and radiates small electric charges. His arsenal includes a destructive atom-pulse blast fired from each hand.

History:

(Hyperkind#9 (fb) - BTS) - Forty years ago, Lazurex the Robot Master created his Robosquad of self-aware robot minions that aided him in small victories.

(Hyperkind#9 (fb)) - Lazurex engaged the heroic super-powered team Paxis (Clarion, Dreamdance, Eschbacher, Logicka, Tempest) in another battle. Clarion's raw power gave Paxis the upper hand and Logicka used her technomancer powers to force reactor core instability in a downed robot minion. Dreamdance used her power to reveal Lazurex's deepest fantasy to distract him. Seeing his desire was Logicka, Dreamdance cast the illusion onto the malfunctioning robot. Kissing its highly electrified form, Lazurex was severely burnt and seemingly died. Paxis departed victorious but Robosquad took their fallen creator back to his lab and sacrificed their parts to resurrect him as a powerful cyborg. The process took many years.

(Hyperkind#9 (fb) - BTS) - Now calling himself Lazurex Prime, he swore vengeance on Paxis, only to find the world changed, Paxis destroyed decades before by the nefarious Paragon John and made a comical myth covertly enforced by his Paracorps to exert his will.

(Hyperkind#7) - Lazurex Prime extended an arm to pull away a Paracorps soldier trying to stop Hyperkind stealing a troopmover, suspecting they were seeking the secret Paxis headquarters.

(Hyperkind#8) - Lazurex Prime confronted Ambertrance Fasia, (formerly Logicka, weakened but sustained by alien tech), last member of Paxis and guardian of the secret Paxis headquarters. Lazurex Prime threatened her death and she hoped for Hyperkind (the Neo-Paxis team of Amokk, Armata, Bliss and Logix) to arrive.

(Hyperkind#9) - Fasia fired at her foe with a heavy gun, but Lazurex Prime easily repelled her. Hyperkind charged in with Bliss distracting him with illusions of long-past Paxis and especially his killer Dreamdance. Yet Lazurex Prime proved too strong without the raw power of Clarion to stop him, although technomancer Logix, having drilled into the foe's head, briefly stopped him. The Neo-Paxis searched where the fifth replacement member could be who would have Clarion's power, finding it in the giant dog-like Ecka, whose universal consciousness and sheer power overwhelmed Lazurex Prime (also freeing Logix) and zapped the villain inert into the ocean.

Comments: Created by Fred Burke, Paris Cullins, Mike Halblieb.

Lulo the robot refers to him as "Dr. L" in a flashback scene; this may suggest he has a PhD, or it may be just another inflated villain's codename or a term of endearment. I'm going with the latter.
