HISTORY

The Murder Machine was an experimental robot created by Nazi scientist Helmut Streicher, who would later become the Red Panzer. It was first seen in November 1940 in Glagow, Scotland's McMurdie Castle where it defeated the American heroes Flash and Green Lantern (and in the pre-Crisis, the Batman as well.)

The Nazi's Murder Machine had no relation to its Apokoliptian name-sake Murder Machine.

The robot was powerful enough to break through walls, had speed belying its size and was bulletproof.
