- Audience-Alienating Era: It's not a good idea to mention "Veridium" to most Metal Men fans.
- Hilarious in Hindsight: One letters page for an early Metal Men story printed a letter suggesting that Doc Magnus become a Metal Man himself. Some thirty years or so later, that fan would get his wish.
- They Wasted a Perfectly Good Character: In the Silver Age, Tin built a girlfriend that became the seventh member of the team. This could have been an interesting way to shake up the pre-existing dynamics. However, she didn't get to do much. In fact, she was never even given a name (although Tin would call her "Beautiful" which became a Fan Nickname). Later on, Copper got similar treatment.
