Alkhema is a fictional robot supervillain in the Marvel Universe. The character first appeared in Avengers West Coast #90 in January 1993.

Fictional character biography

Alkhema was constructed by Ultron-13 as his second attempt to create a mate, based on the brain patterns of Mockingbird (Bobbi Morse). In the end she ultimately betrayed Ultron to the Avengers West Coast. Where she is different from Ultron, she desired to kill all humans individually rather than en masse. She first went up against the Avengers shortly after being constructed, when she attacked a weapons center. She was defeated but escaped. She later would go on to betray Ultron. After the most recent defeat of Ultron, she salvaged the set of brain patterns based after Hank Pym, Wasp, Vision, Wonder Man, Scarlet Witch and the Grim Reaper from the rubble of Ultron’s Slorenian base, where she built her Robos, War Toys and Bio-Synthezoids. However, she was seemingly destroyed at Thebes when Hawkeye fired an "anti-metal" arrow into her.

Powers and abilities

Alkhema is composed of adamantium and is therefore virtually indestructible. She can lift 90 tons with great effort. She can fire energy beams from her eyes and shoulder weapons. She can electrify her surface and generate jet thrust from her boots to fly.
