Atomic Robo Questions Thread

[Kurosen]

That's another thing we've not gone into. Robo has learned quite a few languages over the years. It takes time and effort, though, so he tends to put off learning a given language until after he has a reason to. You never see him speaking German in Vol 2 (1943-44), but he knows German in Issue 5 of Vol 1 (2005) because he picked it up after the war.

I would imagine he has an accent, though it probably depends on the language being spoken. Romance languages would be more strongly accented by his Latin, while German, for instance, would be more influenced by his English. His Japanese would have a Chinese quality because he learned Cantonese or Mandarin (don't remember which he knows) first. His Arabic is probably just atrocious.

Were there any attempts to 'replicate' Robo?

I get the impression that it would be the kind of thing the US government, the USSR and Nazi Germany (among others) would do.
