The Awesome Threesome is the name of a DC Comics supervillain group who first appeared in the 1967-1968 animated Aquaman series by Filmation, before appearing also in the comic book series Aquaman in issue #36 (November-December 1967). The members of the group were Torpedo Man, Claw, and Magneto (not to be confused with the Marvel Comics character).

[edit] History

The Awesome Threesome were a trio of robotic creatures who attacked a technological Expo in order to free a criminal alien from imprisonment on Earth. The Threesome were defeated by the combined efforts of Aquaman, Mera, Aqualad, Aquagirl III, and Aquababy.

They made no further appearances in the comics as a team, but Torpedo-Man later made a cameo in the Villains United miniseries 2005, as part of Lex Luthor's Society.
