This is Ivo's android, a.k.a. Amazo, as he appears in the Justice League and Justice League Unlimited animated series. I decided to do a mod of Amazo in order to play the Defenders pastiche that appeared a couple times in the series, teaming Amazo with Dr. Fate, Shayera, and Aquaman. He is simply a Captain Britain from the Avengers set with his arms repositioned and some additional trimming and greenstuff. He doesn't get to tower over his peers as he does in the cartoon, but I figured some scale issues were preferable to no mod at all. I tried various methods of adding lighting and shadows to Amazo's body, but none of them really looked right, so he's a bit bland with just a few subtle shadows. On the other hand, I am quite satisfied with the color of the golden paint and the eyes. He is played on the Justice League Amazo dial, which is actually a fairly nice fit for the combat style he displayed in "The Return."
