Clockwork Cherubs were around two feet in height, and made of “solid copper alloy”. There existed seventeen different “Marks” of Clockwork Cherubs, created in batches of one hundred by the [[Great Foundries]] based on designs by the Cherubs' Creator.

Clockwork Cherubs were invented in 1960 in the [[Prime Universe]] by a scientist to whom her creations referred as simply “[[Cupida Hartnell|the Creator]]”. They were given [[Fog Ship]]s with interdimensional travel capacities, as well as a [[Cupid Homeworld|pocket universe]] to call their own, and given the task of journeying through all realities to stamp our hatred and replace it with (artificially-induced) universal love. The Clockwork Cherubs who fulfilled this mission were known as the [[Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids]]. However, they were not the only Clockwork Cherubs in the universe; some, due to programming defects, gained the ability to break off from their programming and became renegades and reprobates travelling the [[Multiverse]] by themselves.

Although winged, Clockwork Cherubs could not fly under their own power unless [[anti-gravity circuit]]s were strapped to their person. Not every Cherub in the Crew had access to such devices, and indeed, some could be officially banned from owning one.
