A.M.A.Z.O.


 * For Dr. Ivo's ship of the same name, see Amazo

The Anti Meta-human Adaptive Zootomic Organism, simply known as A.M.A.Z.O., was an artificial intelligence robot created by Ivo Laboratories with the ability to copy an individual's physiological abilities.

Biography
At some time, Ivo Laboratories was contracted by A.R.G.U.S. to build a unit capable of identifying an individual's physiological abilities. The unit was built to scan a meta-human's abilities, converting it into meta data. Using a nano-adaptive hybrid of the Mirakuru serum as part of the "blood" that it pumps, it was also built with the capability of utilizing any abilities it has already scanned, leading it to be named the Anti Meta-human Adaptive Zootomic Organism or simply A.M.A.Z.O..

The A.M.A.Z.O. was then stored within a warehouse of Ivo Laboratories, until a break-in occurred and an inexperienced Flash (Oliver Queen) using Barry Allen's speedster abilities accidentally threw a lightning bolt that ricocheted inside the warehouse, hitting the deactivated robot and powering it on. When the A.M.A.Z.O. started destroying Ivo Labs, Officer Jones, Killer Frost, and the Elongated Man tried to stop it, but the robot proved too strong for them. The A.M.A.Z.O. then copied the two meta-humans' powers and took flight using Killer Frost's cryogenic abilties.

The A.M.A.Z.O. was rampaging around Central City to find other meta-humans, when it was consecutively attacked and distracted by Supergirl, Superman, the Flash (Oliver Queen), and the Green Arrow (Barry Allen) to keep the robot off-balance and to prevent it from scanning them. Superman then punched A.M.A.Z.O. deep into the ground, until it flew its way up to the ground once again, finally copying the four heroes' abilities and fleeing the scene.

Barry then had a plan, which involved A.M.A.Z.O. chasing Oliver back to where they were. The robot, which now had a connection to the Speed Force, chased Oliver and was eventually intercepted by Kara's punch. The three super-powered heroes then held and constrained A.M.A.Z.O., where Barry was able to shoot it with a Kryptonite arrow containing a virus created by Cisco and Caitlin which wiped its C.P.U. and made it implode, ultimately breaking into pieces. Cisco dismantled A.M.A.Z.O. and locked up every piece in a S.T.A.R. Labs vault, except for one part, considering it as his souvenir.

Another version of A.M.A.Z.O. was created by John Deegan, but was shut down when Brainy removed the robot's hard drive.

Powers

 * Robot physiology: A.M.A.Z.O., being an A.I. robot, was programmed to perform complex operations. It also appears to be made of a strong metal.
 * Enhanced strength: With its metallic body, it easily overpowered Killer Frost's and Ralph Dibny's powers combined.
 * Enhanced durability: A.M.A.Z.O. was able to crash through a building without suffering any serious damage.
 * Physiological replication: Using the Mirakuru hybrid pumping inside it, the A.M.A.Z.O. was able to scan an individual's DNA, enabling it to use their powers and abilities.
 * Elastic physiology: By scanning Ralph Dibny, A.M.A.Z.O. had copied his physiological abilities, and used it to knock out Officer Jones who was a few meters away.
 * Cryogenic physiology: By scanning Killer Frost, A.M.A.Z.O. had copied her physiological abilities.
 * Flight: By directing its cryogenic powers at the ground, A.M.A.Z.O. was able to simulate flight by propelling itself in the air.
 * Kryptonian physiology: By scanning Kara Danvers and Clark Kent, A.M.A.Z.O. had copied their physiological abilities.
 * Solar energy absorption: Having a Kryptonian physiology, A.M.A.Z.O. also derives its powers from a yellow sun.
 * Super breath: Like Kryptonians, A.M.A.Z.O. was able to exhale powerful gusts of air from its mouth. It was also able to drop the temperature of its breath, being able to freeze objects.
 * Heat vision: Like Kryptonians, A.M.A.Z.O. was able to use its solar energy reserve to emit blue energy beams from its eyes.
 * Super strength: A.M.A.Z.O.'s strength was massively increased by its Kryptonian physiology.
 * Invulnerability: Like Kryptonians, A.M.A.Z.O.'s is invulnerable to most attacks, as shown when it didn't suffer any damage crushed itself under a rubble of ice and metal.
 * Flight: Like Kryptonians, A.M.A.Z.O. was able to manipulate its own gravitational field to generate thrust and propel itself through the air at high speeds.
 * Speed Force connection: By scanning Oliver Queen, A.M.A.Z.O. had copied his physiological abilities, gaining a connection to the Speed Force.
 * Bodily vibration: As a speedster, A.M.A.Z.O. was able to vibrate its body at high speeds.
 * Intangibilty: By vibrating its body at the frequency of air, A.M.A.Z.O. was able to phase through solid matter, mostly using it to dodge attacks.
 * Superhuman speed: Having a connection to the Speed Force, A.M.A.Z.O. can run at high speeds.
 * Electrokinesis: A.M.A.Z.O. was able to produce lightning trailing behind it every time it ran using the Speed Force.

Abilities

 * High-level intellect: A.M.A.Z.O. was programmed to adapt to the unpredictability of meta-humans and to utilize a wide array of abilities that a situation requires, even knowing when to retreat.
 * Martial artist: By scanning Barry Allen, A.M.A.Z.O. had copied his physiological abilities, which was shown when it kicked Barry to flee the scene.

Weaknesses

 * Computer virus: When Team Flash realized that A.M.A.Z.O. was basically a computer, Cisco and Caitlin reverse-engineered a virus able to wipe its C.P.U..
 * Kryptonite: By scanning Kara Danvers and Clark Kent, A.M.A.Z.O. had also copied their physiological weaknesses. Barry exploited this information and shot A.M.A.Z.O. with a Kryptonite arrow containing a computer virus.
 * Hard drive removal: After Brainy removed the hard drive of the second version of A.M.A.Z.O., the robot was completely shut down.

Trivia

 * The robot's name and manufacturer may be related to the scientist Anthony Ivo and his ship, the Amazo, who Oliver encountered during his time on Lian Yu. Furthermore, the robot runs on Mirakuru, a super-soldier serum that Anthony Ivo had been searching for.

Behind the scenes

 * In the main DC comics continuity, Amazo is a robotic entity, capable of duplicating all the powers of the members of the Justice League. The robot was created by Anthony Ivo, who is associated with the ship in.
 * A.M.A.Z.O.'s design and mechanism bears similarities to that of A.M.A.Z.O.'s from the DC Animated Universe, along with the use of acronym for its name.
