The Bio for Amazo:
-Created by Professor Ivo with revolutionary Absorption Cell Technology. This android can replicate the powers of any metahuman he encounters.
-Credited as the world's first android, Amazo was built by the deranged and immortal Professor Ivo. He sicced his creation on the Justice League in the hopes that their defeat would be a testament to his genius.
-Originally built with the powers and skills of the original Justice League (Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Flash, Green Lantern Hal Jordan, Aquaman, Martian Manhunter) preinstalled, as well as a duplicate Green Lantern Ring and Lasso of Truth. As such he was a formidable adversary.
-The powers and programming of Amazo has varied over time. Some incarnations of Amazo are preinstalled with the powers of members of the Justice League Of America (often Superman and Flash with the fighting skill of Wonder Woman). Other times the programming of Amazo varies. For instance the programming and absorption cell technology was implanted into the body of fellow android Red Tornado after the Red Tornado's soul moved on to a human body. This led to a conflict as part of the Red Tornado's spirit became ingrained in the android circuitry. On one occassion he was only able to duplicate the powers of the members in the Justice League, adapting as the roster grew (this Amazo was defeated when Superman disbanded the Justice League, leaving Amazo without any sources to copy). And in one example Amazo was able to steal the powers of the Justice League as well as their humanity, leaving the Justice League powerless androids. Amazo returned the League to normal when he couldn't reconcile his actions with his new emotions. These diverging programming and power fluctuations have not been officially reconciled within DC continuity.
-Notably, Amazo has held a grudge with the Hourman of the 853rd century. When the temporal powered android traveled back in time and joined with the JSA, Amazo was jealous of how advanced in both technology and sentience Hourman was. They had a bitter feud until Hourman returned to his correct timeline. All incarnations of Amazo have the strength and invulnerability that comes with being an android. More recent incarnations of Amazo has the robot built with the ability to adapt and counter metahuman attacks through an internal database much like OMACs. In this manner Amazo can be considered to have the knowledge and planning of Batman. Unlike the OMACs Amazo can replicate powers to counter attacks instead of using prebuilt defenses.
-This unpredictability is one of the threats of Amazo. It's always a gamble for any hero to encounter an Amazo as they can never be sure what powers the Amazo currently has. The appearance of Amazo usually involves a pointy eared monster android with the ability to replicate the powers of nearby metahumans and a heartless or downright evil sentience.
-Basically Amazo can absorb any Metahumans power he is up against, and use that power to it's full capability.

The first showing of Amazo was very impressive, as he defeated Flash, Hal Jordan, Wonder Woman, Martian Manhunter, and Aquaman with relative ease: (please log in to view the image)

Amazo returns, and we find that in the mere moments he was in Hourman's presence, he absorbed half of his Infinite Time powers, which come from the Worlogog itself: (please log in to view the image)
In an effort to "feel", Amazo reveals that he has found a way to steal the feelings/humanity from different organisms. In essence, stealing their soul: (please log in to view the image)
There are only 4 JLA members available to battle Amazo, and deep down they know it won't be enough: (please log in to view the image)
Amazo was bond with Wonder Woman's lasso, and Superman tried to use his heat vision against Amazo, to stall him long enough that Batman could cut off his legs so Flash's speed couldn't be used: (please log in to view the image)
With a thought, Amazo uses an ability obtained from Parasite, and absorbs every metahuman beings power that he was up against, (except for Batman who has no metahuman powers): (please log in to view the image)
A powerful blow from Hawkgirl's mace didn't even phase Amazo, whom simply used Elongated Man's powers to absorb/recover from the attack: (please log in to view the image)

You know, people always hype up the JLU Amazo, bt, in truth, this version was pretty much just as powerful, IMO. It's just that EVERYONE ELSE in JLU was weaker then their comic book versions.
