Technovore appears in the TV series Iron Man: Armored Adventures, and is one of the two titular main antagonists for the anime film Iron Man: Rise of Technovore.
Technovore first appears in Iron Man #294 (July 1993) and was created by Len Kaminski and Kevin Hopgood.
Technovore is a technological parasite who was created aboard a Stark Enterprises orbital space station before converting its passengers into techno-organic creatures.[1] Iron Man later destroys Technovore, but is nearly killed in the resulting explosion before the Goddess rescues him.[2] Unbeknownst to Iron Man, a portion of Technovore survives and is recovered by the black market network Source Control.[3]
Technovore's body is made entirely of nanobots. It can disassemble itself into a stream of nanites, enabling it to fit into and travel through small spaces. Each nanite carries a copy of Technovore's personality, and it is implied to be able to reconstruct itself from a single unit.
Technovore can absorb technology into itself, adding the abilities of consumed technology into its physical being. In addition, Technovore's inherent resilience is augmented by an ability to adapt to weapons; over time, it will become immune to a given weapon if struck enough times.
Technovore appears in Iron Man: Rise of Technovore, voiced by Miyu Irino in the Japanese version and Eric Bauza in the English dub.[6] This version is a biotechnological nanite virus created by Zeke Stane and initially linked to his nervous system before becoming independent.
