The Maschinenmensch is a sleek, Art Deco automaton of golden-bronze steel, created by the inventor Rotwang. A dark mirror of the saintly Maria, this "False Maria" is a creature of programmed malice designed to sabotage the city of Metropolis. She is a master of seduction and fiery oratory, capable of wearing human flesh to incite workers to riot and elites to madness. Hollow and anarchic, she thrives on chaos, serving as a cold, mechanical weapon of mass social destruction.
