In Batman: Under The Red Hood, the Gotham crime boss Black Mask has acquired an AMAZO android which he intends to auction off. Batman interferes with the shipment and the android awakens and attacks him, using its super-strength, flight and laser vision abilities. Batman is assisted by his former partner Nightwing in battling AMAZO and the two use their cunning and ingenuity to gain an edge over the killing machine. Batman causes AMAZO to destroy itself by firing what appears to be putty into the android's eyes. What AMAZO doesn't realise is that the putty is plastic explosive and detonates it when it tries to vaporise the stuff with its lasers. The explosion blows AMAZO's head off, killing it.
