PLUTO

Character: Tetsuwan Atom
Canon: Pluto

Interesting things about the character:
- Rocket-propelled flight!
- Super strong!
- Fires lasers!
- Also I guess he was called Astro Boy over here or something.
Atom was created to replace the dead son of a famous roboticist, Dr. Tenma. Unfortunately, Tenma decided he wasn't up to the par and sold Atom to a circus. BEST DAD EVER

Interesting things about the canon/fandom:
- Murder mystery IS THE KILLER A ROBOT OR A HUMAN?
- Robot rights!
- What Measure is a Non-Human?
Pluto is based on Tetsuwan Atom/Astro Boy by Tezuka Osamu. Most of the major plot comes from The Greatest Robot in the World storyline, but themes appear to be taken from many different Atom stories. Robots in Atom's world cannot hate, lie, or kill a human being... yet somehow, a string of murders has occurred that seems impossible for a human to have carried out. Who or what is Pluto?

Anything else?:
