Who is Recorder?

Origin The Rigellians initially built Recorder as a means to determine the suitability of a planet for colonization. They would dispatch Recorder to gather data and then would wipe his memory of what he had gathered and sent on another mission. When Recorder was sent to accompany Thor on a mission involving Ego , Recorder returned with such a vast amount of data, the grateful Rigellians permitted Recorder to keep his memory intact and embark on his own experiences. Creation Recorder was created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby in 1966 and first appeared in Thor #132. Character Evolution When Recorder became a minor recurring character in the Marvel Universe, he was renamed Memorax in Warlock #8 (presumably to differentiate him from other Rigellian Recorders). Ironically, the name Memorax was forgotten when Warlock 's series ended after that issue. He returned to simply being identified as Recorder. He adopted another name, Analyzer, as well as a slightly modified look in The Mighty Thor #422 but again returned to the name Recorder as well as his older look.
