Backstory: Orlich was a talented toymaker who so loved his creations that he worked to develop his talents to the point that he could make them fully autonomous and answer to his bidding.

Setting up a toy store, he would sell toys out of it which were secretly his minions. Allowing him to put hundreds of spies across the city to reveal to him its secrets through the use of charities wherin he would donate toys to children from the toy shop he operated out of.

Having been discovered by the military for his genius but unaware of his villainous intent, he was hired to create deadly weapons for them off the books which would have the appearance of harmless toys to be passed off by their spies heading into other countries.

Orlichs efforts with the government being erased to hide any of his efforts, the brilliant scientist would freely work for any nation. Just as easily turning his talents towards opposing America as aiding it. For as far as he was concerned it didn’t matter who he worked for, as irregardless, it all furthered his eventual efforts towards world domination.

The most impressive of his technical abilities however was his ability to create life-like duplicates of anyone, but possessing the inhuman strength of an automaton. Robots so powerful that they could rival Wonder Woman in strength. So realistic that he could replace people and leave their closest compatriots unaware of the switch.
