Donny Finkleberg


 * Donny Finkleberg, aka Robot-Master, is a human from the Marvel portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.

Donny Finkleberg is an on-the-outs comic book writer. Although he claims he can "sell any story," most of his titles have flopped, and he sees a grim financial future for himself. To stave this off, Finkleberg will do pretty much anything for a buck. His strong sense of financial self-preservation wars with what small sense of morality he has. Finkleberg sees himself as a good guy and wants to be a good guy, but $50,000 checks from the government don't bounce.

Finkleberg was originally a writer for a "famous comic book publishing company" in New York. His Robot-Master comic book series had been canceled, and his idea for a Potato-Salad Man graphic novel titled This Man, This Mayonnaise did not fetch interest from his superiors, so Finkleberg was turned away.
