and doesn't fight back until his would-be-rescuers are endangered. He's rather busy being a crash test dummy, frustrated that he hasn't yet found a way to kill himself. This leaves only.Ĭliff Steele, the Robotman.

So, Batman gives Negative Man a pep talk, making him slightly-less-Negative Man and they defeat Animal-Vegetable-Mineral Man. He's named that because part of his body transforms a member of those particular classifications.
