Philip Morgan is a fictional character from Marvel Comics. He was created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, and first appeared in Strange Tales #99 (August 1962).
Mister Morgan was an inventor of robotic beings called humanoids, in the year 2090. These humanoids came to replace humans in the workforce, but many of them proved unreliable like running amock or malfunctioning. When humanity could no longer trust the humanoids to perform their jobs, they abandoned them by ordering them all to leap off a cliff. Morgan saved one of his creations from destruction, but leaving it hidden in a vault in the belief that he might redeem the humanoids in the eyes of humanity and prove that they were of use to society. Aliens arrive from another world, intent on conquering the earth. They learned of the monster's location, and believed it to be the perfect tool for conquest. The humanoid proved to loyal to the earth, and the aliens were forced to destroy their own vessel to defeat it, and died in the process. Morgan was proved right as the humanoid's body lay before the onlookers, demonstrating that Morgan's faith in the monster was justified.

Famous quotes containing the word morgan:
“Pregnant women! They had that weird frisson, an aura of magic that combined awkwardly with an earthy sense of duty. Mundane, because they were nothing unique on the suburban streets; ethereal because their attention was ever somewhere else. Whatever you said was trivial. And they had that preciousness which they imposed wherever they went, compelling attention, constantly reminding you that they carried the future inside, its contours already drawn, but veiled, private, an inner secret.”
—Ruth Morgan (1920–1978)
