Editing Android (section)

==In Popular Culture==
*''Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?'' (or Blade Runner, if you like films more). Humans create artificial humans as slaves, and after a revolt they hunt them all down. This is an interesting case because they are organic beings, but still artificially made, so the definition is just barely apt in this case.
*''I, Robot.'' In the classic Isaac Asimov's short story, there are some robots that could be described as android.
*''Metropolis.'' Mad science creates a robot that resembles a humble woman to bring chaos and ruin to the city.
*''The day the Earth stood still.'' An alien brings a doomsday machine in the form of a human to "peacefully" stop all wars on Earth. 
*''Terminator.'' Machines rise against humanity, using human-like assassins to kill the remaining human beings.
*Marvel Comics. Characters like Vision or Ultron are thinking robots in human-like form.
*''Mega Man''. The saga of a little blue android fighting other robots to keep the peace in the world.
**''Mega Man X''. Mega Man's successor. While the original was bound by Asimov's Three Laws of Robotics (or rather, a variant of them that only requires obedience to their owner), X is not, seemingly in response to the original being pissed he wasn't allowed to kill Wily at the end of 7. To prevent him from being the murder machine that typically results from such (and befell many of his copies) he was kept in a tube getting repeated <s>brainwashing</s> morality lessons for decades.
*''NieR Automata''. Cute android fighting other androids not as cute.
*''Astro Boy''. One of the most important works in manga history, it tells the adventures of a little android that gets adopted after its original creator abandons him.
*''Kisaragi Honey''. The heroine of ''Cutie Honey'' by Go Nagai, the creator of ecchi manga and one of the fathers of [[/m/|giant robot anime and manga]]. A super strong heroine who uses the ability to create matter from thin air to quickly change costumes and bamboozle her enemies. Her costume changing made her a major influence on [[Supers|magical girl]] works, with the (still relatively lewd) spinoff ''Cutie Honey Flash'' aimed at young girls playing that up. Notably, the original anime never actually ''showed'' she was mechanical till the last part of the last episode, repeatedly showing her needing to breath and bleeding when injured, resulting in that same spinoff making her an artifical biological creation instead of a mechanical one.
*''Lieutenant Commander Data'' from [[Star Trek|Star Trek: The Next Generation]]. Second and science officer of both the Enterprise D and E. Throughout the series and movies he displays feats of both superhuman speed and strength, such as dodging a mining laser and fighting the Borg in hand to hand combat.
*''Alien'' Pretty influential in the grand scheme of things, the androids presented here have been around since at least the 2090s with the David model. Have milky-white "blood", realistic appearances (apart from the Working Joes who are like bargain bin versions of Weyland-Yutani androids), super fast reflexes, and an adherence to the 3 Laws of Robotics. That is, apart from Combat Androids, an explicitly illegal model used by Wey-Yu for security and lack their cousins' more advanced features like higher thought and the outer layer of skin, leaving them with robotic skull faces covered in synthetic muscle, complete with Weyland-Yutani logos in place of normal eyes. Creepy.
*''The Human Torch''. The original one from World War II that took the name Jim Hammond that Johnny Storm would later take the title from. The first android [[Supers|superhero]], and one of the first comic book heroes.
