TODD PURVEE!!! Seriously, that’s Destruct-O-Tron’s full name, as was revealed in Super Haters #173.

But more importantly, Mr. Purvee is on vacation and it sucks so far. WILL IT EVER GET BETTER?

Meh. Probably not.

The secrets of Destruct-O-Tron revealed!!!

Okay, so the last time I did a Destruct-O-Tron profile, there was a lot of shit we didn’t know about him. For example, now we know what he looks like under the helmet (see above). And we know his first name is Todd (courtesy of Super Haters #61). Those are the two biggies.

But we’ve learned some other stuff too, and most of it came from the Kids story arc when his sister, Destruct-O-Bot, proved that he’s a crybaby and a liar.

And in today’s comic, Super Haters #84, it’s pretty obvious that he’s a horny bastard. As we move into the future, keep an eye out for Super Haters #100, which will showcase a MAJOR Destruct-O-Tron moment.

In terms of the character’s creation and background, one of my favorite super heroes is War Machine, so Destruct-O-Tron pulls from Rhodey (as well as Tony Stark). In my eyes, he’s a parody of both of them.

Let’s get things started right!!! Here’s Destruct-O-Tron in his classic pose.

So what have we learned about Destruct-O-Tron from the Super Haters comics? He used to have a superhero partner named Eggstradamus… but Eggy died at some point (and we don’t know how). We’ve also know his superhero resume is VERY short. He has trouble fixing his own armor, and he uses something called “Destruct-O-Lube” to keep himself greased up inside the suit.

Aside from that, things are still a mystery. We don’t know what he looks like under the helmet, though we have seen a peak at his future self. It’s unclear where he’s from, and even more of a conundrum is how much of Destruct-O-Tron is machine and how much is (what we presume to be) man.

Cyborg with a metal shell? Man in a suit of armor? Robot with pipe dreams of humanity? Not even human at all? Whatever his deal is, one thing’s for sure — Destruct-O-Tron is a moron.
