Ted was the man who had it all, but when he was hit out of nowhere by massive quantities of Energy X, he suddenly became an uncontrollable time bomb, always in danger of random outbursts of energy. When his own brother Tom was killed in such an explosion, he vowed to wear the experimental armor Tom had designed until he could cure himself. The Man Bot views himself as a monster, but as Mentor told him, "I see many things in you, Man Bot. I see pain, I see regret, but most of all, I see a hero." Little did Ted know how important he would become in the future of Energy X.

Powers: Man Bot's high-density suit protects others from the deadly force of his Energy X, but it also gives him great strength and the ability to focus his energy into controlled beams. In times of need he can even push past the barriers of his suit and release enormous quantities of energy in a devastating explosion.
