Life Model Decoy
A Life Model Decoy (also known by the abbreviation LMD) is a fictional android appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Created by writer Stan Lee and artist Jack Kirby, LMDs first appeared in the short story "The Man For the Job!" featured in the anthology book Strange Tales #135 (August 1965). LMDs are android doppelgängers designed to be indistinguishable from real humans. Primarily used by S.H.I.E.L.D., especially Nick Fury, they serve as synthetic bodyguards and decoys to protect against assassination attempts. These androids can be mass-produced, often creating multiple copies of the same individual. Over various storylines, some LMDs have gained sentience or even assumed the identities of their originals. Since their original introduction in comics, Life Model Decoys have been featured in various other Marvel-licensed products, including video games, television series, and films.
