“Not to be a bother, but I'd like to remind the class that none of you are wearing sunblock. Do we have to revisit the perils of skin cancer? Please, children, protect your noses.”
Dragon man was a lifeless robot created by professor gilbert but was later given life by diablo. For a big chunk of dragon mans career he was mind controlled or forced to do what other supervillain’s wanted. But after awhile he he became a background villain for a little bit until Hickman increased his intelligence immensely and became the Fantastic four’s babysitter, now he is currently working with the future foundation to restore molecule man .
