Recorder (comics)

The Recorders are a fictional robotic race in the Marvel Universe.

Fictional species biography

The Rigellians are skilled in robotics and have created a race of robotic life-forms called the Recorders. The Recorders are generally used as scouts to explore new territory and report back to the Rigellians. Recorders are occasionally seen assisting various cosmic entities - for instance, one of them once lived at Uatu the Watcher's home-place at the Blue Area of the Earth's Moon ["Uncanny X-Men #137-138"] , while another, RT-Z9, works for the Living Tribunal's Magistrati, more specifically She-Hulk ["She-Hulk" vol. 1 #7] .

The Rigellians have constructed approximately 500 identical recorders.

Recorder #211 [First appeared in Thor #132 (Sep 1966)] was assigned to accompany Thor in his mission to Ego the Living Planet. This Recorder performed so well, gathering an unprecedented amount of rare data, that the Rigellian Grand Commissioner permitted it to retain its artificial memories of its experiences rather than having it undergo the customary erasing that follows the discharging of its data. Later, it was captured by the High Evolutionary and reprogrammed and reconstructed as the Analyzer.

Recorder #417 [First appeared in Hercules #1 (Sep 1982)] accompanied Hercules on his journeys in the Andromeda Galaxy in an alternate future 22nd Century.
