Lang Thompson recommends: > Tetsuo (both of 'em) and their progeny (Pinocchio 964, etc) > Robocop (three films), Cyborg (three so far) and Cyborg Cop (also three) > Hardware > Robotrix > Blade Runner (maybe) > > for TV shows: Six Million Dollar Man, Star Trek: Next Generation (sort of: > Data isn't a true cyborg and Geordie doesn't have enough artificial to > count), Babylon 5 As their name implies, the Borg of the STAR TREK franchise, fall into this category. The character "7 of 9" from ST: VOYAGER occupies an intersting border ground in relation to this category. She's a "deprogrammed" Borg but still has implants. Also see the single-minded ("EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE!") Daleks of the DR. WHO series. If you want to go to other pop culture references, "Robo-man" of The Doom Patrol comic books, and Metallo, one of Superman's arch-enemies who has gone through several incarnations, and Dr. Doom, villain to the Fantastic Four, et al., would seem to fall into this category as well. The Red Tornado, on the other hand, is a relatively minor robotic superhero, who apparently has a human brain. Don Larsson ----------------------------------------------------------- Donald F.
