Atlas

This article is in deep need of cleaning up.

Atlas was an enemy of Astro boy who only appeared in the 1980 version and the 2003 version. He started off as a normal teenager named Dichi Tokugawa, being the son of the astronaught and scientist Mr Tokugawa. He died in an accident, so Dr. Tenma built a robot that was very identical to Dichi. He gave the robot to Mr. Tokugawa. He raised it for a little while, but it was tossed away and unwanted, Mr Tokugawa disliking it because it wasn't actually his son. The robot was raised by Dr. Tenma instead of Mr. Tokugawa. Being renamed Atlas, a robot full of rage and hatred, and giving him orange battle armor, battling Astro Boy

In the 2003 series, he was the robot son to Tokugawa and raised to be the first robot to be CEO. At first, Tokugawa cared very dearly for Dichi and even set up a birthday for him, giving him an Atlas for his present (hence where he got his alias) and told them one day they could see the world from the moon, however with work getting in the way he spent less and less time with Dichi and even ignored him completely. Mr. Tokugawa believed he gave all Dichi needed in material needs, completely unaware of the lack of emotional needs to the point Dichi rebelled against him and lead a bike gang to cause trouble all while keeping the "perfect son" image in front of his father. After being rebuilt by Dr. Tenma, he uses his new found powers to destroy Tokugawa Industries until Astro Boy stopped him. He later returns to destroy Tokugawa's moon base, but has a change of heart of killing Tokugawa when he sees the earth just like his father promised him all those years ago. He often sarcastically calls Astro Boy "brother", due to the fact they were both built by Tenma.

. Unlike AstroBoy, where he wishes to protect humans, Atlas believes the opposite, wishing to harm humans, in which he does sometimes.

In the 1980s version his storys different. He has the appearance of an adult robot. He fights with a sword too..He seems to look like a Greek or Spartan warrior that was cybernetically enhanced. He is in love with a female robot named Livian. He is Astro boy's archenemy in both versions. He is also one of Astro's strongest foes!

Manga appearances
Atlas made his original appearance in the manga chapter "Atlas" where he was created by the South American roboticist Dr. Ram rather than Tenma. His purpose was to take revenge on the white men who oppressed Ram's ancestors. Ultimately, Atlas is killed in his final bout with Astro. Atlas' appearance in this chapter provided the basis for Atlas in 2003.

He made another manga appearance in Astro vs. Atlas which served as the basis for his 80's anime storyline. After being created by Count Giss Atlas is tasked with destroying Astro. He finds Astro who is in pursuit of Giss' castle and the two engage in a somewhat friendly rivalry. Atlas eventually decides to end the battle by using his exploding urine attack. Astro informs him that he should go in a toilet and Atlas flies back to Giss' castle destroying it. Atlas is unharmed but Giss' plans are foiled as Atlas resolves to be a better robot like Astro. His appearance here is exactly the same as his child appearance in Shin Tetsuwan Atomu( Astroboy 1980).
