    The Melter -- arch-enemy of The Invincible Iron Man

    Bruno Horgan was an industrialist who specialized in the development, design, and manufacture of weaponry and munitions for the United States government. Horgan was driven into bankruptcy when a government safety inspection team proved that he was using inferior materials. His defense contracts were later awarded to his foremost competitor, industrialist and inventor Anthony Stark, who was secretly the armored crimefighter Iron Man.

    As one of Horgan’s factories was being dismantled, the bankrupt industrialist noticed a strange phenomenon. One of his poorly constructed, experimental radar devices had begun to malfunction. Casting a brilliant beam of light, it caused any iron components upon which it shone to begin instantly to appear to melt. Horgan analyzed the device and redesigned it so that it could be strapped to his chest. Equipped with his Melting Ray, Horgan began his career as the Melter by striking at the factories owned by Anthony Stark aka Iron Man!



    The Melter has been on my "To Do" list for the better part of 20 years. And, it took a true team effort to finally complete him. My paints on a N2LM commissioned head sculpt; my suit design and print sewn together by Jessica Rotich; his melting belt and harness manufactured by LaserMego.com; topped off with some gloves and boots from CTVT.



    The Melter confronting his mortal enemy: The Invincible Iron Man.



    The Melter with a number of his "associates": Klaw, Whirlwind, and Blizzard.





    I hope you enjoy my customs as much as I do, and, as always, thanks for looking!

    Peace, Love, and Megos!

        ^She sure did!

        This is a great figure, Melter has always seemed like an obvious, perfect IM foe. I'm glad you chose this version.

        Thanks for sharing!

                  Wow, Austin! He looks like he came straight from the Mego factory. Definitely a winner!

                    Whoa, that is something else. Tremendous job, and really does look like he was produced by Mego.
