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.

“The best protection parents can have against the nightmare of a daycare arrangement where someone might hurt their child is to choose a place that encourages parents to drop in at any time and that facilitates communication among parents using the program. If parents are free to drop in and if they exercise this right, it is not likely that adults in that place are behaving in ways that harm children.”
