#cobaltman

Imagine if you built your own version of Iron Man’s armor but you used cobalt instead or iron, you’d get... COBALT MAN!!! Ralph Roberts was an inventor conducting tests using nuclear radiation and cobalt. He built a suit of armor but the cobalt had disastrous effects on anyone wearing it. His younger brother ted was dating Jean Grey which inadvertently led to the Cobalt Man fighting the original X-men. Cobalt Man has battled many Marvel heroes including the Hulk and the Defenders. He was one of the villains who escaped the Raft, the high security prison which housed many of the worst villains, and then was involved when the New Warriors started the Civil War after Nitro exploded rather than being taken in and killed hundreds of innocent bystanders. Later on, Tony Stark infiltrated the Thunderbolts disguised as Cobalt Man.
