Backstory: Brother of Doctor Psycho, Professor Psycho was a brilliant mind in the field of geology who had dedicated his life towards the singular goal of finding vast wealth underground, and living a life of wealth and luxury off of what he had discovered.
Unfortunately all of the really good sites for things like precious gemstones and rich caches of gold were either on land claimed by someone else, or were deep in the wilds where one native tribe or another were living a quiet and peaceful life.
Thus Professor Psycho did the only sensible thing and hired a gang of henchmen so they could all pilot twenty foot tall mech suits in order to kill and enslave local populations. Forcing them to mine for the precious wealth which the Psycho brother so coveted.
In order to keep their efforts from being discovered and ensuring that no one of authority would try and stop them or their schemes, they would refer to themselves as Iron Giants and Psycho would take on the moniker of ‘King Ironsides’ counting on casual racism to aid them in their efforts. For indeed, when surviving natives would seek out aid from the iron giants who were raiding their homes and kidnapping their people, they would get a pat on the head and sent on their way. The great crisis threatening them being written off as ‘savage superstition’
However, ‘King Ironsides’ had a second goal near and dear to his heart! He wanted revenge on Wonder Woman! Not for what she did to his brother, but rather what she did to his family name! For in catching Doctor Psycho and outing him as a terrible and horrible individual in the eyes of the public, it established for the first time ever, a negative connotation with the name ‘Psycho’
