Backstory: Megalomanical mad genius with an interest in world domination. Doctor Thiago Solano was born with a high level intellect which he believed was a sign that he should become ruler of the world itself!
Using his genius mind, Doctor Solano would developed advanced technologies in the central American nation of Guanaray, turning it into a world power within the region as it had advanced sciences which were unlike anything else in the world.
Commiting a series of thefts across the world and funneling the laundered money into Guanarays economy, Doctor Solano would be recognized as the wealthiest man in the nation which he ruled from the shadows. The nations president obeying his every whim.
Using a vast and well equipped spy network to spy upon and influence other nations, Solano would cause havoc and destabilize the other nations in Central America, foiling attempts by larger nations to provide aid and restore order. All with the intent of having the country of Guanaray begin gobbling up the others to expand as the country grew more and more influential.
Building a nuclear power plant to supply his nation with energy which he planned to use as a cover for the creation of nuclear weapons. Weapons such as the robot duplicate of Doctor Solano himself. Programmed with the intellect of a chess grandmaster, fencing skills to rival his own. The Robot of Doctor Solano had nuclear enhanced strength and a mastery of disguise, able to take on the voice and appearance of a target flawlessly. Capable of free will and action, the robot was programmed to also obey any order made by Doctor Solano but otherwise operate independently.
The comic continuation of events from the television series would establish Doctor Solano to have survived what had seemingly been certain death in an explosion caused by his own self destructing automaton, only to become paralyzed by the experience. But with no loss to his ambitions for world domination.
