The Gas Gang were a group of short-lived fictional robots in DC Comics. They first appeared in Metal Men #6.

## Fictional team history

[edit]

The Metal Men are a group of robots created by Will Magnus after he was exposed to cosmic rays during a space mission and transformed into a robot. However, the Metal Men destroy the Gas Gang, transforming them into steam and returning Magnus to his normal form.[1][2]

In subsequent appearances, the Gas Gang are rebuilt and begin serving Platinum Man.[3]

## Members

[edit]

* Oxygen: An oxygen tank.
* Helium: A rubberized container that can expand.
* Carbon Monoxide: A lit Bunsen Burner with a fiery head.
* Chloroform: A cylindrical tank perforated with holes from which it emits gas.
* Carbon Dioxide: An anthropomorphic dry ice crystal.

## In other media

[edit]

The Gas Gang appear in the Batman: The Brave and the Bold episode "Clash of the Metal Men!", consisting of Oxygen (voiced by Brian Bloom), Carbon Dioxide (Hynden Walch), Helium (Bill Fagerbakke), Chloroform - who has no dialogue - and series original characters Hydrogen (Lex Lang) and Nitrogen, the latter of whom also has no dialogue.[4] This version of the Gas Gang consisted of former colleagues of Milton Magnus who were presumed dead while working on a gas designed to trigger volcanic eruptions, which turned them into gaseous beings. In the present, the Gas Gang kidnap Magnus and coerce him into building robot bodies to contain them until they are thwarted by Batman and the Metal Men. During the subsequent battle, Batman accidentally merges them into a lethal gas cloud before destroying them with the Batplane.
