Young Ken built a robot helper with magical abilities. Though meant for chores, Metal Mickey frequently engaged in fantastical adventures battling aliens and time-traveling despite causing trouble for Ken's family who adored him.

Metal Mickey was a robot built by young Ken to do chores around the house. Ken was the eldest child of a typical British family--well, almost typical. Metal Mickey was endowed with a number of magic powers, which enabled it to battle aliens, travel through time, survive extreme temperatures, and other outlandish situations. Mostly Metal Mickey just caused trouble for the Wilburforces, but the family loved him anyway.—Marty McKee <[email protected]>
