"My darling, I've always—oh, no. Promutheus."
"Prometheus!"

Prometheus Black is an entrepreneur and business rival of Isaac Sumdac. Where as Sumdac focuses on robotics, Black's expertise is in the area of bio-technology. However, his constant loss of business to Sumdac Systems has left Black bitter toward machines, including the sentient kind. An accident in testing a new corrosive designed to melt Autobot armor left him with the ability to melt anything he touches...and left a few screws loose, as he became the supervillain Meltdown.

He also employs shrimp, giant, and altogether biochemical freak Colossus Rhodes.

Prometheus Black looks good in a pimp suit, which is the best superpower ever.

Prometheus Black's biotechnology business was highly successful because it played off the citizens of Detroit's fear of illegal immigrants robots stealing their jobs. Much of his money was made on makeovers of some of the city's less physically gifted individuals, but he finally staged a promotion aimed at getting himself a contract with the city's police force. Pitting the seemingly frail old man Colossus Rhodes against Bumblebee, he hoped to win the support of Captain Fanzone. Unfortunately, Rhodes rampage in the parking lot convinced Fanzone to recommend cancelling all of Black's contracts with the city, leaving Black financially ruined.

Discovering a corrosive from Bumblebee's systems, Black attempted to make an acid which would melt Autobot body armor. However, a lab accident caused the acid to bond with Black (instead of horribly scarring him and causing a split personality). Now calling himself Meltdown, he decided to take his revenge on Sumdac. Meltdown broke into Sumdac Tower, and nearly killed the "nerd". However, Bumblebee managed to save Sumdac, and Ratchet imprisoned Meltdown in a force field. Total Meltdown
