Standing above them was a fifteen foot tall monstrosity of living green chemical. The stink was incredible. “Chemos!” it burbled, and brought two huge fists of hardened acid down onto the heroes.
Man, I remember Chemo. One of my favorite Metal Men villains. Killed Aquagirl during the Crisis on Infinite Earths and was himself destroyed (briefly) by Negative Woman.
"A professor trying to come up with a chemical formula that would cure disease and otherwise provide a miraculous panacea for humanity had the odd habit of dumping all of his chemical wastes and failed experiment reagents into a giant, man-shaped plastic mold. When the thing finally got filled to the brim, the chemicals somehow (a favourite word in comic book origins) combined to create a basic intelligence - or at least an instinct to create mayhem - and hello, monstrosity."
