The twist that Manhunter's founding organization had ties to ancient robot policemen was something that could only have come out of superhero comics. It was like learning that the League of Assassins came from Kryptonians.
Admittedly, it wasn’t until Justice League on Cartoon Network that I saw the Manhunters. They were sent to arrest Green Lantern (John Steward).
I initially assumed they were the DC knockoffs of Sentinels from the X-Men (the Jack Kirby connection makes sense now). But I totally liked that they weren’t robotic in the same way as the Sentinels in how they talked.
“No man escapes the Manhunters”! That seemed so cool to me for some reason.

That episode was what introduced me to the Manhunters as well.
