Mainframe in Hulk and the Agents of S.M.A.S.H.

It's been brought to my attention that A-Next's own Armored Avenger, Mainframe recently made something of an appearance in the Hulk and the Agents of S.M.A.S.H. animated series. Mainframe is voiced by Jeffrey Combs.


Mainframe appears in Season 2, episode 18 'Wheels of Fury' as an Artificial Intelligence created by Tony Stark to play games against. Iron Man, Hulk and gang end up in a high stakes game of Roller Derby against Mainframe. At the conclusion of the episode, Mainframe determines that humanity has many games to offer, taking on a familiar armored form similar to his MC2 design and setting out to discover the world.






I don't really have a strong opinion about the series, as this was the only episode I've ever seen. My interest is certainly piqued by the use of a MC2 character in animated form, considering May 'Mayday' Parker was passed up for the derivative gender-swapped 'Petra Parker' in the Ultimate Spider-Man animated series.

Until the entire MC2 makes an appearance in another medium, I remain
