In other media
Television
- In Iron Man: Armored Adventures, the Fixer appeared in the setting of the animated television series where he was voiced by actor Donny Lucas. This version was known as Mister Fix where he was introduced in the first season. He was shown as a genius inventor and high-tech arms dealer with ties to the Maggia who employs highly sophisticated communications and weaponry. In the second season, Justin Hammer injects Fix with a nano-virus to force him to make weapons for the former, primarily the Titanium Man armor. Following a disastrous first outing in it however, Hammer activates the nano-virus, killing Fix's physical body and transforming him into an artificial intelligence. Calling him Mr. Fix 2.0, Hammer forces him to keep working on the former's projects to the exclusion of all else. Unbeknownst to Hammer, Fix secretly begins plotting revenge against him for this. Over time, he blackmails Hammer before eventually exposing his criminal activities and creating 'zombification gas' to turn Hammer into a zombie, though Iron Man destroys Fix 2.0's console.
Video games
- In Marvel: Avengers Alliance, the Fixer appeared in the setting of the mobile video game. Norbert Ebersol was a child prodigy with a great mechanical aptitude. His immense intellect led to him getting fired from numerous jobs for his air of superiority. Seeking a challenge, he turned to the planning and execution of technologically-assisted crimes, since planning out such activities not only stimulated his intellect, but provided him with new materials to create new advanced technological devices as the Fixer. The Fixer's first move after a mysterious Pulse of energy brought the Isotope-8 to Earth was to lead a group of R.A.I.D. soldiers into attacking the United Nations Building along Wrecking Crew member Bulldozer in order to retrieve Iso-8 found inside the building. Ebersol used a robotic construct to fight War Machine, but it was defeated. At some point, Ebersol was imprisoned in the Raft, but escaped.
