If not for their [[TVHeadRobot TV heads]], it would be impossible to identify them as robots - not only are they fully sentient and sapient, but they can even [[UpToEleven have sex, bear children, contract diseases, use the bathroom...]]

* ''NYC Mech'' is set in an alternate universe where everything is exactly the same as in our world, except everyone's a robot. While these robots have hair, they don't appear very human outwardly, with visible hinges and wires, but they eat, sleep, smoke, have sex, age, etc. That the characters are robots is so immaterial to the plot, one suspects that element was added at the last minute to give the series a unique hook.

They usually looked so much like himself that it was impossible to tell them apart (which often was the point). The ones he built ComicBook/PostCrisis were much less lifelike, but still resembled him, except for Kelex who looked quite different.

* Arguably justified to the point of deconstruction by Machine Man, in various Creator/MarvelComics tales. The X-series robots are supposed to be, essentially, Terminators, but Abel Stack is convinced that a robot that can think as well as a human needs to think like a human; when the other fifty robots develop bizarre psychoses and X-51 remains sane, he's proven right, but X-51 also proves useless as a military device. Much later, in ''EarthX'', Uatu the Watcher claims Abel made "Aaron" as an extension of himself, hoping to "live forever" in this way.

* Older than all the examples below is the original Human Torch. He's an android but he completely averted the RoboticReveal trope that was common in his day by being (synthetically i.e. ceramic bones) human to a cellular level. He was a universal donor and even had genetic material.



* The Vision's "brother", [[spoiler:[[Comicbook/{{Runaways}} Victor Mancha]]]], looks and acts so much like a normal teenager that ''he himself didn't know he was a robot for years''. This was justified considering that [[spoiler: he was built as part of an elaborate plot that required him to pass as human for a while.]]
