“The Wreck of X-44”

In "The Wreck of X-44," scientist Siroco’s creation, the Omnipotent robot Tondo, returns from a three-year mission with a damaged frame and haunting footage of a dead world—enough to deter a would-be conqueror from invading. Now, Tondo’s next mission takes him to Earth, where he must once again outwit a despot, this time to protect humanity. Written by Joe Gill and illustrated by Bill Molno with inks by Vince Alascia, this 1960 Charlton classic features a striking cover by Steve Ditko.

A scientist Siroco created Tondo, the Omnipotent robot, for space exploration. The planet where Tondo was created is not named, but a man whom Sirco calls 'Your Excellency' desires to use Tondo to explore possible worlds to invade and spread despotism. Tondo's first mission took an unexpected three years. He returns in bad shape, appearing damaged. Tondo shows moving pictures of the planet, displaying a desolate and unlivable planet. This dissuades the would-be invaders. Tondo's next mission is to Earth. Tondo intends on protecting the Earth by again deceiving the despotic conqueror.
