Metal Master is the name of two fictional characters appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics.

The first Metal Master first appeared in The Incredible Hulk #6 (March 1963), and was created by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko.^[1] The character subsequently appears in Rampaging Hulk #3 (June 1977), ROM #30 (May 1982), and Maximum Security #2 (December 2000). Metal Master received an entry in the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe A-Z #7 (2009).

The second Metal Master first appeared in Avengers #676 and was created by Mark Waid, Al Ewing, Jim Zub, and Pepe Larraz.

Metal Master is an Astran, a humanoid alien with the ability to manipulate metal. He was banished from his planet after attempting to conquer it, and subsequently came into conflict with various heroes, including the Hulk, Rom the Space Knight, and the Scarlet Witch.^{[2][3][4][5][6]}

A new incarnation of the Metal Master named Molyn, nicknamed the "All-New Metal Master", appears in the "No Surrender" arc as a member of the Grandmaster's Lethal Legion.^[7]

The Metal Master can manipulate virtually all types of metal, enabling him to alter its shape and density and bring it to life.^[8] However, he is unable to control Plandarium, the metal alloy from which Spaceknight armor is made.^[9] He has additionally built starships with intermediate hyperdrive functions, but otherwise at Earth's technological level.

The Molyb incarnation of Metal Master appears in The Marvel Super Heroes, voiced by Paul Kligman.^{[citation needed]}
