| 10 | |
| 11 | !!The 00-Cyborg Team |
| 12 | A multinational group of nine individuals who were kidnapped or coerced into joining Black Ghost at different times and places. They were purposed to be the first of their kind, the 00-Cyborgs, but Dr. Gilmore, who previously worked on them, regretted his actions and helped them escape instead. They are now Black Ghost's fiercest enemies, working hard to subvert their operations at every turn. |

| 16 | !!The Black Ghost organization |
| 17 | [[folder:In General]] |
| 18 | [[quoteright:359:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/black_ghost_organization.png]] |
| 19 | * ArmsDealer: Black Ghost makes no attempt to hide their image as "death merchants". Their main goal is to exploit the military-industrial complex to make a profit by kickstarting wars and selling weapons to both sides. |
| 20 | * AsLongAsThereIsEvil: [[spoiler:The GrandFinale reveals that as long as there's evil and violence in the hearts of humans, Black Ghost will always exist in one form or another]]. |
| 21 | * AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: All of their top executives seem to have undergone the {{Cyborg}} surgery, granting them high combat prowess to match the titular heroes. |
| 22 | * CreateYourOwnHero: They created all of the 00 Cyborgs, only to have them rebel and fight against them. |
| 23 | %%* DarkIsEvil: '''''Black''''' Ghost. Their leader Skull is prominent example of this trope. |
| 24 | * {{Expy}}: They would serve as the template for the much more recognizable Shocker organization in ''Series/KamenRider'', which was also a shadowy global conspiracy responsible for [[CreateYourOwnHero creating a cyborg hero]] [[PhlebotinumRebel that rebelled against them]]. Yes, before Shocker and the mountain of evil organizations they inspired, there was Black Ghost. |
| 25 | * GreaterScopeVillain: For ''Anime/Cyborg009VSDevilman'', as they supplied Dr. Adams with the backing to create his High-Teen Number Cyborgs and experiments to bring [[BigBad Atun]] and the demons into our world. As it takes place right before the "Yomi" arc of the manga, the special even ends foreshadowing Skull and the Demon Statue. |
| 26 | * HijackedByGanon: More than one incident has been revealed to be their doing, especially if it's {{Cyborg}}-related. ''Cyborg 009 VS Devilman [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] this, with 002 instantly guessing the High-Teen Cyborgs were sent by Black Ghost purely based on the fact that all the other cyborgs that they've encountered were sent by them. |
| 27 | * TheIlluminati: Might be it. Their logo in the 2001 series is a triangle with an eye in the center after all, and they've been manipulating the world for who knows how long. |
| 28 | %%* KickTheDog: On a frequent basis for profit or for kicks. And most times, [[KarmaHoudini they get away with it, too]]. |
| 29 | * {{Mooks}}: The recognizable and iconic Black Ghost troopers, grunts in gray-blue uniforms with black helmets. They also have a set of MechaMooks as well as the {{Cyborg}}men which occasionally serve as alternate footsoldiers. |
| 30 | * NebulousEvilOrganization: They're a shadowy organization with global reach and legions of cyborg soldiers out to purvey WarForFunAndProfit all across the world. |
| 31 | * NGOSuperpower: Black Ghost fields technology that's far more advanced than most other countries and a worldwide sphere of influence along with numerus connections to ensure their dealings remain out of site. They also possess a vast private army at their disposal and have enough resources to occupy an entire underground nation (Yomi). |
| 32 | * NiceJobFixingItVillain: Despite their horrible, horrible actions and being responsible for the creation of the 00-Cyborgs, Black Ghost indirectly saved almost all the main protagonists from even worse fates brought by tragedy in their lives. |
| 33 | ** 001 [[spoiler:would have succumbed to his terminal disease and died in infancy before his first birthday (in the 2001 anime and Archaia novel, at least)]]. |
| 34 | ** 002 would have been jailed for his AccidentalMurder (or participating in violent street fights in the 2001 anime), and if not that then he would have been on the run for the rest of his life. |
| 35 | ** 004 would also have died of his injuries sustained from his accident that killed his fiance Hilda. |
| 36 | ** 005 would have continued wandering alone, unemployed and struggling to earn a living due to racism against his people. |
| 37 | ** 006 would be dead, either from suicide or starvation. |
| 38 | ** 007 would probably have continued living in the gutter as an old drunk and died from alcoholism. |
| 39 | ** 008 would have become a slave or escaped successfully, living in the wilderness, or died in battle. |
| 40 | ** 009 would probably would have been put back into juvie hall, or like 002, gone on the run for the rest of his life. |
| 41 | * OffscreenVillainDarkMatter: [[ZigZaggedTrope Zig-Zagged]]. On one hand, despite being an underground organization, they are shown to have a pretty big array of advanced technology, secret bases and {{Mooks}} with little explanation for where they come from. On the other hand, Black Ghost is referenced as having sold weapons to many, many countries, including the United States and Russia, so one could extrapolate that the money they get from selling missiles and other arms is enough for them to fund projects to create cyborg soldiers and maintain their own infrastructure for decades. |
| 42 | * PlayingBothSides: As part of their WarForFunAndProfit motivation, they'll sell weapons to either side and derive amusement from manipulating them. |
| 43 | * PrivateMilitaryContractors: Black Ghost will supply their arms and services to any country or group that hires them, or often times [[PlayingBothSides both sides in a war or conflict to reap more profits]]. |
| 44 | * ReluctantMadScientist: A good chunk of the scientists in their employ are this, either being misled to believe their research was being used for a benevolent purpose or being [[IHaveYourWife threatened]] into working for them. However, some of the ones in their employ are genuine monstrous scientists who gladly exercise brutal experiments for personal glory or ForScience. |
| 45 | * TheRemnant: While they would eventually meet their downfall, remnants of the organization would continue to show up as antagonists in the manga. This includes the "Neo Black Ghost" organization in both the manga and the 1979 anime formed to carry on their legacy as merchants of death. |
| 46 | * TheSyndicate: While the full scope of their influence isn't seen, they seem to be a vast criminal conspiracy with connections to numerous influential figures that allow them to provide cover for their actions. |
| 47 | * WarForFunAndProfit: Their main shtick. They make weapons (including human cyborgs) and sell them off to the highest bidders, and sit back and watch as their buyers destroy the world with their new toys. |
| 48 | * WorldWarIII: Their end goal is to start something akin to this by playing America and Russia against each other. |

| 52 | ->Voiced by: Masato Yamanouchi (early films- 1966, 1967), Creator/NorioWakamoto (2001 series), Creator/RichardEpcar (2001 series- English dub), Creator/HidekatsuShibata (2009 CD dramas); Rubens Medel (1967's "Monster Wars" - Latin American Spanish dub), Creator/HumbertoSolorzano (2001 series - Latin American Spanish dub), |
| 53 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/skull_cs01.png]] |
| 54 | [[caption-width-right:350:Skull in the 2001 anime.]] |
| 55 | The commander of the Black Ghost Organization, he plans to create a CrapsackWorld torn apart by [[WarForFunAndProfit constant]], ''[[WarForFunAndProfit profitable]]'' [[WarForFunAndProfit wars]]. His other hobbies include setting up [[SadisticChoice Sadistic Choices]] and no-win situations that leave the rebel 00-Cyborgs [[BittersweetEnding questioning their victories]]. |
| 56 | ----- |
| 57 | * ArchEnemy: To Joe Shimamura/Cyborg 009, being the very antithesis to everything Joe stands for. Whereas Joe is an AllLovingHero, Skull is a sadistic ArmsDealer who starts wars for fun. |
| 58 | * AssholeVictim: [[spoiler:He really had it coming when he was destroyed]]. |
| 59 | * AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: He's actually a super-advanced {{Cyborg}}, much like the 00 Cyborgs, and is one of the most powerful cyborgs they've ever encountered. {{Justified|Trope}}, with all the advanced technology Black Ghost has, it makes sense their leaders would want to try it on themselves. |
| 60 | * BadBoss: He sees all of his workers as expendable tools for him to use and/or throw away. Failing him almost always results in [[YouHaveFailedMe instant death]]. Even the ones that manage to succeed in fulfilling their missions are rewarded with death eventually as well, as Skull [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness doesn't see any point in keeping them once they've played their part in his schemes]]. |
| 61 | * BigBad: Wherever Black Ghost lurks, he's bound to be there leading the charge. [[spoiler:Though he's later revealed to be in service to a much greater power.]] |
| 62 | * BrainInAJar: [[spoiler:In his final fight with 009, Skull is eventually revealed to be less a cyborg and more a brain controlling a robot body.]] |
| 63 | * CardCarryingVillain: Skull makes no attempt to hide the fact that he's an amoral arms dealer. He's pretty up front with it in fact. |
| 64 | * CoolMask: Wears a skull-shaped helmet. |
| 65 | * DarkIsEvil: Always seen wearing black. Also is the leader of Black Ghost. |
| 66 | %%* DealWithTheDevil: Buying weapons from him is this, since he's most certainly go arm your enemies against you right afterward. |
| 67 | * EvilIsHammy: He chews the scenery in pretty much every scene he's in. Makes sense, seeing as how he's voiced by Norio Wakamoto. |
| 68 | * EvilLaugh: He lets out a very sinister laugh whenever his schemes are going as planned. Or just to taunt his enemies. |
| 69 | * EvilSoundsDeep: He speaks with a deep voice in both the Japanese and English dubs (though the former is also thanks to Norio Wakamoto). |
| 70 | * TheFaceless: We never get to see what he looks like behind that Skull mask. Eventually it's revealed that [[spoiler:Skull has become so augmented that he's basically a BrainInAJar controlling a robot suit and doesn't even have a face.]] [[spoiler:The 2007 ''Manga/SkullMan'' anime suggests he's a resurrected Hayato Mikogami, who is also the second Skull Man, though as mentioned below it's up to debate whether it's canon to any incarnation of 009 or not]]. |
| 71 | * FallenHero: Within the larger Ishinomori-verse, Black Ghost is revealed to be [[spoiler:a resurrected Hayato Mikogami, also known as the second Manga/SkullMan, in the epilogue of the 2007 Skull Man anime. He's also revealed to be Joe Shimamura's ''father.'']] It's questionable if this could be canon to any incarnation of 009 or is simply a reference exclusive to this source, however (as [[spoiler: Joe was intended to be biracial, and it was a key point in how he had been bullied as a child]]). |
| 72 | * FullConversionCyborg: His final encounter during the Yomi arc is this, being fully cybernetic to the fact his head and limbs are detachable, with almost little organic parts left (mostly his brain). |
| 73 | * HateSink: There is nothing at all, even remotely sympathetic about Skull's character. He is more than happy to kill his own subordinates when they have outlived their usefulness to him, and he gets sadistic pleasure from ruining people's lives by turning them into his own cyborg slaves. |
| 74 | * TheHeavy: In both the manga and the anime, Skull is the one who signed off on Black Ghost's "Cyborg Soldier" plan and masterminded the creation of all of the 00 Cyborgs. He also takes a more proactive role in the 2001 anime than he does in the manga and directly leads many of Black Ghost's operations, though this could just be because ''Cyborg Soldier'' has more scenes of him communicating with his subordinates. |
| 75 | * HoistByHisOwnPetard: [[spoiler:He's killed when he attempts to unleash his final attack on 009 which risks damaging the interior of the Demon Statue, forcing the [[GreaterScopeVillain Generalissimo]] to finish him off.]] |
| 76 | * InconistentSpelling: Is his ''name'' Scarl, or is his ''alias'' Skull? "Gilmore's Notes" also shows an instance of the name "Skarle", while the Archaia continuity renders his name as "Sekar". The Tokyopop manga also called him "Scar". %% clear up source of the first 2 |
| 77 | * KillItWithFire: How he kills off any minion [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness who has failed him]]. And '''''OH GOD''''' is it brutal. No matter how he does it, you have to watch those poor guys be killed ''onscreen''; one episode fired multiple lasers at a couple of scientists responsible for 0013, and the result has you looking at their charred corpses. |
| 78 | * LosingYourHead: [[spoiler:In his final fight with 009, 009 punches his head off and is revealed to be a robot, with his brain in his stomach.]] |
| 79 | * LukeIAmYourFather: [[spoiler:Revealed to be the father of 009 in the 2007 Manga/SkullMan anime]], though again, how canon is it is disputed. |
| 80 | * MeaningfulName: Is named "Skull" and wears a helmet that looks like a skull. It also could reference the fact that he's a merchant of death. |
| 81 | * NotQuiteDead: In the 2001 anime, the 00 Cyborgs seemingly [[spoiler:killed him during an attack on Black Ghost's base, only for him to show up alive about a half season later.]] |
| 82 | * ObviouslyEvil: If his skull-theme and being named "Skull" didn't tell you right away he's evil, his EvilLaugh surely will. |
| 83 | * PragmaticVillainy: [[AllThereInTheManual It's stated in introduction to the manga]] that Skull recognizes the damage a full on nuclear war would bring and instead seeks to profit off of humanity waging wars using cyborgs. |
| 84 | * SadisticChoice: His ''modus operandi''. If he sees you trying to save the day, he'll make it so that you'll end up [[PyrrhicVictory questioning your choices]] and maybe suffering from a good amount of emotional angst. |
| 85 | * SmugSnake: Almost everything Skull says is littered with a condescending edge, as he makes no attempt to hide the fact that he sees most others as being below him. |
| 86 | * TheSociopath: A text book example. He sees his own soldiers as disposable (as already mentioned), has a complete lack of empathy for others, and an inability to feel guilt for his own actions. |
| 87 | * StrawNihilist: In the 2001 episode "The Escape", he believes that both the world and everything in it are only tools for him to use and discard at anytime. |
| 88 | * SuperSpeed: Like 009, Skull also has an Acceletor device implanted in him, and can match or even exceed the speeds 009 runs at. |
| 89 | * VillainBall: In the 2001 series, if he hadn't decided to ''capture'' the 00 Cyborgs to study how they got their abilities instead of ''killing'' them, he wouldn't have gotten his ass kicked. Honestly, considering the 00 Cyborgs' track record, killing them would've been a far better choice. |
| 90 | * VillainDecay: In the 2001 series. Towards the end, his [[TheDragon Dragon]] Klaus Von Bogoot is the one who looks more badass. |
| 91 | ** The '60s anime continuity also did this to him, where they had his equivalent "Skull Mask" as only one minor villain of Black Ghost, and the character "Ghost" who is the leader of the "Ghost Alliance". He wasn't even the BigBad in the earlier '60s films, either. |
| 92 | * WarForFunAndProfit: Also his modus operandi. When he's not [[KickTheDog kicking the dog]] ForTheEvulz, he's selling weapons of all kinds to different countries so he can profit from them. |
| 93 | * YouHaveFailedMe: Trust me, you absolutely do '''''NOT''''' want to fail this guy. If he finds you failed a mission (specifically kill/capture the rebel 00 Cyborgs), he '''''WILL''''' dispose of you, no matter how much you beg and plead. |
| 94 | * YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: At the same time, succeeding in your mission will only lead to you being kept around for as long as you are useful to him, after which he'll discard you too. |
| 95 | ** He also pulls a particularly cruel version of this on [[spoiler:the Pu'Awak, using the hydrogen bombs he stashed underground in Yomi to kill them all once the Demon Statue was completed.]] |

| 101 | The next result of the 00-project and the first assassin sent after the heroes. Like 009, he benefited from being the latest model, has his own [[SuperSpeed Accelerator]], ''and'' got [[ShockAndAwe bonus lightning powers]] thrown into the mix. Unfortunately, he's also an overconfident {{Jerkass}}. [[spoiler:Oh yeah, and there's ''[[CreepyTwins two]]'' [[CreepyTwins of them]].]] |
| 102 | ----- |
| 103 | * AdaptationDyeJob: The Kodansha color editions and the deluxe re-release of the manga depict him as [[AmazingTechnicolorPopulation an entirely red robotic figure]] with stark white hair. In contrast, his anime counterpart has silver hair and red eyes, along with a ghostly pale face. The Archaia graphic novel loosely follows the anime design but gives him blond hair, and has him appear more humanoid and with a toned-down pallor. |
| 104 | * AdaptationNameChange: Becomes "Cyborg 0011" in the "Monster Wars" film and has an overhaul in his appearance (becoming an entirely blue, energy being-like creature with lightning bolt hair), but otherwise remains the same. [[spoiler: In the Archaia graphic novel, the twins are "0010 Alpha" (red) and "0010 Omega" (blue)]]. |
| 105 | * AdaptedOut: Aside from "Monster Wars", the 2001 anime, and the Archaia novel, he doesn't show up very frequently in other media incarnations of the franchise. |
| 106 | * AlasPoorVillain: [[spoiler:0010 and his twin brother manage to run into each other while fighting 009 and their polarizing nature causes them to short-circuit and fry each other to death. But during their last moments, they touch each other in what was possibly the first time in years. The 2001 anime has them outright ''cling to each other'' as they die from electrical burns; 009 notes the sad irony of 0010 being twin brothers who work together so well, yet can't even touch each other without risking death]]. |
| 107 | * BashBrothers: [[spoiler:A villainous example with 0010 and his twin brother; although each of them does fine on their own, they are ''devastating'' when working together]]. |
| 108 | %%* CreepyTwins: [[spoiler:One of the few ''adult'' cases.]] |
| 109 | * DivergentCharacterEvolution: [[spoiler:The twins are both entirely red in the original manga, according to the color edition of their debut, but the adaptations give them blue and red (sometimes orange) color motifs on their outfits to make it easier to tell them apart.]] |
| 110 | %%* ElectricTorture: The first, but far from the last to employ this. |
| 111 | * EvilCounterpart: He's basically what happens when you give Joe [[ShockAndAwe electricity]] powers, take away his [[TheHero heroic nature]] and [[NiceGuy empathy]], and replace that with a mile-long [[{{Sadist}} sadistic streak]]. |
| 112 | * GoMadFromTheIsolation: [[spoiler:Of a sort. Black Ghost exploited their connection as twin brothers by giving them electricity powers, but also making it so that they are literally polar opposites. So while they still have each other's company, they can't make physical contact with each other ever again or else they'll end up frying each other to death. It's implied that this is the reason why both of them are so crazy]]. |
| 113 | * IdenticalTwinIDTag: [[spoiler:0010- (the one we first see) wears blue, while 0010+ wears red. In the Archaia version, 0010- is the one in red and renamed "Alpha", while 0010+ wears blue and is renamed "Omega". The 0011 twins in the "Monster Wars" film are blue and orange figures, with Minus being blue and Plus being orange. Meanwhile, in the colored pages of the manga, there's ''no'' ID tag and both appear as glowing red robotic-looking figures with white hair]]. |
| 114 | * KarmicDeath: [[spoiler:Via the VillainBall and the efforts of 009, with some help from 001 (or 003 in the Archaia novel). And it's a very [[BittersweetEnding Bittersweet Victory]], to boot]]. |
| 115 | * LightningBruiser: Literally. He has SuperSpeed, his powers are devastating, and he hits just as hard. [[spoiler:When paired with his twin brother, they become an incredible force to reckon with]]. |
| 116 | * PsychoElectro: He [[spoiler:and his twin brother]] wields electricity powers, yet he is insane, and his sadistic streak is a mile long. |
| 117 | * RedEyesTakeWarning: He has red eyes, and he's a Black Ghost cyborg. |
| 118 | * StarterVillain: 0010 is the first cyborg enemy the heroes fight, and helps them realize their strengths are better when working together. [[spoiler:At least until his twin shows up, in which case Joe is forced to fight them alone, needing to outmaneuver and outsmart both of them.]] |
| 119 | * SuperSpeed: He has an Accelerator, just like Joe. |
| 120 | * SympathyForTheDevil: [[spoiler:Joe expresses this when he dies, musing on the circumstances that led to 0010 and his twin brother being made into cyborgs by Black Ghost]]. |
| 121 | * TogetherInDeath: [[spoiler:In all continuities, he and his twin brother always end up dying together after being tricked into short-circuiting each other, holding hands for the first time since becoming cyborgs. [[TearJerker The 2001 anime takes this even further by having them cling to each other during their last moments as they both fry to death from electrical polarization]]]]. |

| 126 | ----- |
| 127 | * AdaptationalAngstUpgrade: In the manga, he was sent after the 00-Cyborgs in exchange for receiving a human body. In the 2001 anime, he was a family man kidnapped by Black Ghost and forcibly turned into their weapon. [[spoiler:Oh, and when he tries to pull a HeelFaceTurn, Skull overrides him and reprograms him into only focusing on killing the 00-Cyborgs.]] Poor guy... |
| 128 | * CyberneticsEatYourSoul: [[spoiler:Forcefully turned into a killing machine by Black Ghost.]] |
| 129 | * EvilCounterpart: To 009 and 002 in the manga. The 2001 anime paired him up with 004 due to both being cruelly torn away from their loved ones and weaponized to a greater extent than most cyborgs |
| 130 | * TragicMonster: [[spoiler:He was a normal man, kidnapped and made a cyborg by Black Ghost. He had a wife and a child and only wanted to see them again...]] |
| 131 | ** [[spoiler: The original manga version has shades of this too, with him lacking a reference to a family but still wanting to do whatever he can to regain his human body. He opts to side with the Black Ghost due to them being larger in number.]] |
| 132 | * VillainOverride: [[spoiler:In the 2001 series, after failing to kill the 00 cyborgs the first time, he realizes that Black Ghost had no intention of keeping their promise of letting him see his family again and tries to pull a HeelFaceTurn.

| 138 | * AdaptationExpansion: Her chapter in the manga never gave viewers a glimpse of her former appearance, instead depicting her as a disembodied brain communicating to the cyborgs via telepathy. Her anime incarnation confirms her to be a woman, and makes her a little more sympathetic (see below). |
| 139 | * BigFancyHouse: In fact, [[spoiler:her whole mansion is basically her cyborg body, with her brains and control placed [[CreepyDoll in what seems to be a look-alike mannequin]] laying in the center of it.

| 153 | * AdaptationDyeJob: Had black hair and wore a blue sweater in the 1979 series, while his 2001 self had brown hair and wore a yellow sweater. |

| 155 | * CuteMute: {{Subverted}} - he was a boy in his teens and sometimes spoke... but only through telepathy. |
| 156 | ** TheUnintelligible: His manga self also amounted to being this, mostly making "ooh" and "unh" sounds and sometimes managing to stammer out a word or two. |
| 157 | ** His 1979 incarnation stuck close to this theme, although it was given a reason when he revealed his backstory to Joe (through telepathy): [[spoiler: His parents were murdered when he was young, causing him to be traumatized and lose his ability to speak (at least in a coherent way)]]. |

| 163 | ** Meanwhile, in the Archaia version, he has the ability to transform ''into'' the giant robot- thanks to Black Ghost altering his body with nanites. |

Even when fighting 009, he went out of his way to protect any {{Innocent Bystander}}s, punished the people who killed Joe's adoptive father ''and'' kidnapped the 00-Cyborgs' ally Dr. Koizumi, and was finally DrivenToSuicide because he knew he'd never recover his freedom]]. |

| 174 | ->Voiced by: Creator/UnshoIshizuka, Creator/SteveBlum (English dub), José Luis Orozco (2001 series - Latin American Spanish dub) |
| 175 | The second-in-command of Black Ghost, putting on the public front of a legitimate wealthy businessman. Secretly, he also rules over an underground civilization known as the "Yomi Kingdom", having enslaved them to build Black Ghost's ultimate {{superweapon}}. |
| 176 | ----- |
| 177 | * AdaptationNameChange: Became '''Count King''' in the '68 series, and was downgraded to being a one-shot villain. |
| 178 | * AnArmAndALeg: [[spoiler:He loses ''both'' his arms before he finally goes down.]] |
| 179 | * AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: Like Skull, he's a super-advanced and powerful {{Cyborg}} able to fight on par with the 00s. |
| 180 | * CoolShades: Also doubles as SinisterShades, which conceal a pair of robotic eyes. |
| 181 | * CorruptCorporateExecutive: He posed around as a genius businessman to cover his experiments. |
| 182 | * DiabolicalMastermind: He's a rich business executive, a criminal mastermind and a leading member of an organization of death merchants. He even runs his own underground country. |
| 183 | * TheDragon: To Skull. He's Skull's second-in-command and is the penultimate foe faced by the cyborgs before 009 goes to confront Skull. This is more clear in the 2001 anime however as the manga didn't include very many scenes of them interacting. |
| 184 | ** CoDragons: The manga [[spoiler:didn't define Skull's and Van Vogt's roles that clearly, so they both come off as subordinates of the Generalissimo.]] |
| 185 | * EvilGenius: Knowledgeable in both business and science. |
| 186 | * EvilOverlord: Became ruler of Yomi after driving the Zattan out from it. |
| 187 | * GreaterScopeVillain: While Black Ghost as a whole can be seen as this for the ''Anime/Cyborg009VSDevilman'' OVA, Van Vogt more directly is shown to have supplied Dr. Adams with the funding he needed to create the High-Teen Numbers and to go forward with his "Cyborg-Demon" project. |
| 188 | * HateSink: He is every bit as vile and despicable as Skull. |
| 189 | * TheHeavy: For the "Underground Empire of Yomi" arc. He's the head of Black Ghost's operations in the Yomi Kingdom, is more proactive than Skull and is the one behind most of the obstacles the 00 Cyborgs face in the arc. |
| 190 | * HerrDoctor: His name implies he is of Dutch or Belgian descent. |
| 191 | * InconsistentSpelling: Tokyopop couldn't decide if he was "Ban Bogart" or "Van Bogart". Other translations differ between rendering his name as "Von Bogoot", "Van Bogoot" (which the English dub of the anime used), and "Van Vogute". His surname is based off of the science fiction author A.E. von Vogt, although the katakana Ishinomori used had differed. |
| 192 | * KarmicDeath: [[spoiler:He dies at the hands of a vengeful and ''very'' angry 004 after killing his LoveInterest Vena]]. |
| 193 | * KickTheDog: [[spoiler:His execution of the five Pu'Awak sisters just comes off as cruel and unnecessary.]] |
| 194 | * MadScientist: One willing to [[spoiler:transform teenagers into walking bombs and turn ''himself'' into a cyborg]] to reach his goals. |
| 195 | * ManipulativeBastard: Mindwiped Helen and arranged for her to be found by the 00 Cyborgs so he could use her as a sleeper agent to infiltrate their base. |
| 196 | * MeetTheNewBoss: His regime over Yomi proved little better for the Pu'Awak than the Zattan, with them being enslaved to work on the Demon Statue. |
| 197 | * ProfessorGuineaPig: He at some point had ''himself'' converted into a super-advanced cyborg. |
| 198 | * ShoutOut: His name is a reference to esteemed science fiction author Creator/AEVanVogt. |
| 199 | * SuperSpeed: He also has an Accelerator device granting him the power to run at high speeds. |
| 200 | * YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: Pulls this on [[spoiler:Joe's old friends when they can't bring themselves to kill him]] first, then on [[spoiler:Helen, when Gilmore's house is burned to the ground in the '01 anime adaptation (which triggers Vena's HeelFaceTurn)]] and ultimately on [[spoiler:all ''five'' Pu'awak sisters]]. |

| 208 | * AdaptationNameChange: Was called "Ares" in the SF Roman Light Novel. |
| 209 | * AsLongAsThereIsEvil: They claim that Black Ghost will continue to return as long as there is evil in man's heart. |
| 210 | * BadBoss: [[spoiler:They kill Skull after he almost damages the interior of the Demon Statue. To be fair, he did risk harming them]]. |
| 211 | * BigBadDuumvirate: It's unclear whether the brains are multiple entities acting as one being or one being controlling multiple entities. Either way, all three are the leaders of Black Ghost. |
| 212 | * BrainInAJar: All three appear to be living brains encased in jars with cybernetic implants in them. |
| 213 | * CardCarryingVillain: One of them LITERALLY says "our evil is eternal." They not only KNOW that they're evil, but revel in it. |
| 214 | * DiabolusExNihilo: There's barely any foreshadowing prior to TheReveal that they're the true leaders of Black Ghost, much less that Skull had anyone above him. We also don't even get to find out what exactly ''they even are'' before 009 destroys them. |
| 215 | * DiscOneFinalBoss: They were originally intended to be the final foes of the manga, but after outcry about [[BittersweetEnding the ending]], Ishinomori [[SeriesFauxnale revived]] the manga and continued writing it, making the Generalissimo only the first major antagonist faced by the Cyborgs. |
| 216 | * GreaterScopeVillain: [[BigBad Skull]] is the one who manages the day-to-day running of the Black Ghost organization, but even he answers to them. They also imply they're just one segment in an [[EternalVillain eternal]], universe-spanning evil force. |
| 217 | * TheManBehindTheMan: The are the true leaders of Black Ghost. [[BigBad Skull]] as it turns out is [[TheDragon subordinate]] to them. |
| 218 | * MultipleChoicePast: What exactly they are is never revealed. The vanguard of an AlienInvasion force? Representatives of a vague, eternally recurring force embodying all evil in the universe? The Greek god of war? Or are they just humans who transplanted their brains? |
| 219 | * MyDeathIsOnlyTheBeginning: They claim that, even if Cyborg 009 kills them, there are more of them. |
| 220 | * OrcusOnHisThrone: Despite having control of the Demon Statue, they don't really do much to stop 009. Probably because they're just [[BrainInAJar brains]]. |

| 279 | ----- |
| 280 | * AGodAmI: He considers himself equivalent to a God on account of his cybernetic enhancements. In the 2001 anime he ''truly'' believes he's a god [[spoiler:even though he's actually a former human turned into a cyborg by Black Ghost and fed delusions of godhood by Dr. Gaia]]. |

| 308 | ----- |
| 309 | * AdaptationDyeJob: Blonde in the manga and the '60s films, blue hair in the 2001 anime (although the trailers for it depicted her as a blonde with odango hair). See below trope for why. |
| 310 | * AdaptationNameChange: She was known as "Helena" in the manga and the '60s films. Perhaps due to the fact that her name and appearance were too similar to ''Helen'', she received a name change along with an overhaul in her look. It's also worth it to note that as "Helena", she was modeled more after Helen of Troy, while "Artemis" goes along better with "Apollo". |
| 311 | ** In the upcoming (as of 2015) ''Cyborg 009 vs. Devilman'', she will be "Helena" again and given her old looks. |

| 314 | * AntiVillain: To the point of being a villain in name only. She's a good person at heart, but has been brainwashed by black ghost into thinking they're good people trying to better the world with their technology. The only villainous thing she actually does is try to kill Joe/009, but only because she was mislead by Black Ghost into thinking Joe and the other 00 cyborgs are evil.

| 318 | * HumansAreTheRealMonsters: Her (initial) way of justifying the Mythos Cyborgs' actions. Of course, [[DramaticIrony the Greek Gods themselves are just humans converted into cyborgs, being used by other malicious humans to carry out a destructive agenda.]] |

| 321 | * MadScientistsBeautifulDaughter: She's the sister of a {{Jerkass God|s}}. |

| 323 | * NiceGirl: Despite the side she's on, she's very sweet and kind. |
| 324 | * PunchClockVillain: She's quite personable outside of her work as a Greek God. And, as already mentioned above, she only works for black ghost because she was tricked by them. |

In the '01 anime she's first fatally injured by Dr. Gaia for her betrayal (leading her to realize that they ''are'' cyborgs and not gods), then throws herself between Joe and Apollo and dies of her already present injuries in Apollo's arms.]] |
| 326 | * SensualSlavs: She is confirmed to be Russian in the SF Roman novel adaptation, and she's incredibly attractive. |

| 412 | ---- |
| 413 | * AdaptationalVillainy: Granted, he wasn't very nice in the manga, but the 2001 anime makes him a whole lot worse. |
| 414 | %%* ArcVillain: of the "Mythos" arc, as he created the Mythos Cyborgs / Greek Gods. |
| 415 | * ArchEnemy: To Gilmore. The two share a deep rivalry that stretches back to when they were both working for Black Ghost and presently share a mutual dislike of each other. Gilmore loathes Gaia for how he treats his creations as test subjects rather than human beings while Gaia sees Gilmore as a fool and is out to prove his superiority over him. |
| 416 | * BaldOfEvil: His head is balding, and the top is completely devoid of hair. He's also working with the Greek Gods to fulfill his own megalomaniacal desires. |
| 417 | %%* BeardOfEvil: His big bushy black beard is probably one of his most notable traits. |
| 418 | * DarkIsEvil: Whereas Gilmore's hair has gone white, Gaia's beard is still all black. He's also much blacker than Gilmore morally. |

| 420 | * GodhoodSeeker: States he can become a god with the energy stored in his reactor. Unfortunately for him, [[spoiler:he gets shot by a ''very'' angry Apollo.]] |
| 421 | * HoistByHisOwnPetard: [[spoiler:In the 2001 anime. He mortally wounded Artemis, which triggered her HeroicSacrifice. When Apollo found out, [[KnightTemplarBigBrother he went nuts]] and killed him by pumping him full of lasers]]. |
| 422 | * KickTheDog: [[spoiler:In the 2001 anime, he gunned down Artemis after she left the Greek Gods' mission, even though she had no intention of opposing them.]] |
| 423 | * MadScientist: Gaia thinks nothing of the amoral nature of his research and is only committed to proving the superiority of genius. The 2001 anime states he was Black Ghost's ''top'' scientist, which should really say a lot about him. |
| 424 | * TheManBehindTheMan: In the 2001 anime. He created the supposed Greek Gods. |
| 425 | * NonActionBigBad: Gaia is a genius scientist, but he's not a physical threat and has his Greek Gods do the fighting for him. |

| 429 | * WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Due to the abrupt end of the Mythos arc in the manga, Ishinomori never confirmed if he lived or died or ''what'' exactly happened to him. The anime resolved the matter [[spoiler:by having an enraged and vengeful Apollo kill him onscreen.]] |

| 446 | |
| 447 | Another former colleague and rival of Gilmore's [[spoiler: and the DisappearedDad of Cyborg 001/Ivan Whisky]]. Already ''not'' very well in the head beforehand, Gamo went fully nuts searching for a cure for his child's lethal illness, and (in the 2001 anime) also used a group of {{Time Travel}}ers for his own purposes by [[LaserGuidedAmnesia deleting their memories]] to make them his puppets. Counterintuitively, [[spoiler: he converted his son into a cyborg to save his life]]. |
| 448 | ---- |
| 449 | * AdaptationalHeroism: In the Archaia continuity, he's a well-meaning and much younger, less unhinged-looking man who only wanted the best for his son and was reluctant to be part of Black Ghost. |
| 450 | ** The 2001 and Archaia continuities also gave Gamo more of a motivation for his unethical experiments on his son: [[spoiler:by operating on 001 in an attempt to cure his brain damage and terminal illness. In the original manga and '79 continuity, Gamo experimented on his son in an attempt to unlock the mysteries of the human mind and to see if it could be enhanced]]. |
| 451 | %%* ArcVillain: Of the "Mutant Warriors" arc in the anime. |
| 452 | * ArchnemesisDad: For Ivan, who doesn't have the kindest view towards Gamo for experimenting on him and then abandoning him. |
| 453 | * {{Bowdlerize}}: In the manga, [[spoiler: he beats up his wife/Ivan's mother Erika when she found out about the operation and, having been found by Black Ghost at the same time, leaves her there to die.]] This is toned down in the 2001 series, [[spoiler: where he locks himself and Ivan inside his laboratory to operate on him, while the locked-out Erika desperately pleads with him not to do it.]] |
| 454 | %%* DisappearedDad: To Ivan/Cyborg 001 after his son became a 00 cyborg. |
| 455 | * EvilCounterpart: To Gilmore, although whereas Gilmore regards the 00 cyborgs as family, Gamo mistreated and abandoned his actual family (Ivan). At least, that's what it seems most of the time. |
| 456 | * EvilMentor: To the Psychic Assassins, whom he manipulated into being his personal hitmen. |
| 457 | * HeelFaceDoorSlam: [[spoiler: The Archaia novel has him betraying Black Ghost upon finding out that he already cured his son 001's terminal illness by turning him into a 00-Cyborg, but Skull/Sekar shortly kills him by snapping his neck]]. |
| 458 | * KarmicDeath: [[spoiler:Psychically killed by his own son, 001, in the 2001 anime]]. |
| 459 | * LoveMakesYouEvil: [[spoiler:In the 2001 anime, at least. It's downplayed in Archaia, where he joined Black Ghost to find a way to cure 001's terminal illness and stayed there out of regret and fear until he found out 001 was already cured]]. |
| 460 | * MyGreatestFailure: [[spoiler:In the Archaia novel, he regards his inability to cure his son's terminal illness as this, and the resulting DespairEventHorizon causes him to join Black Ghost. He later pulls a HeelFaceTurn in the end after said son, now Cyborg 001, reveals that the experiments that gave him his psychic powers already cured him, albeit left him permanently in the form of an infant.]] |
| 461 | * MadScientist: Illegally operated on his own baby son Ivan/001 in the original manga just to unlock the secrets of the human mind. The 2001 anime and Archaia novel made him more sympathetic in giving him the motivation of [[spoiler:trying to find a cure for 001's terminal illness]]. |
| 462 | * ManipulativeBastard: Specially to the Assassins, whom he lies and hides info from in hopes to keep them under his thumb. |

| 525 | * BrokenBird: She may be cold on the outside, but inside it's clear that the trauma of what she's gone through has gotten to her. |
| 526 | * DubNameChange: Had her name changed to be '''Mai''' in the English dub and other adaptations that used its scripts. This might have been due to the awkwardness of her name being pronounced "me". |
| 527 | %%* EmotionlessGirl: In the beginning she seemed the most cold, though she's really jus |
| 528 | %%* {{Expy}}: Of an "in name only" type. She takes her name and part of her appearance from a manga character that appeared in "The People Drifting Through Space and Time", but other than that, she was heavily revamped.

| 544 | * CoolShades: In the '01 anime, they mask a very creepy pair of MonochromaticEyes. |

In the '01 anime adaptation, he commits the ''big'' mistake of abandoning Helen to her luck once this is accomplished; that causes an horrified Vena, who used their TwinTelepathy to see through Helen's mind and tell him info, to double-cross him instead.]] |

| 574 | * AdaptationDyeJob: Has blonde hair in the manga color pages[[note]]save for an apocryphal digitally-colored cover in Media Factory's manga release that gave her purple hair[[/note]], but became a redhead in the anime. The same applies to Vena and her other sisters. |
| 575 | * IdenticalStranger: Bears an uncanny resemblance to Helena, of the Mythos cyborgs. This is emphasized in some adaptations, where Helen and Helena become a CompositeCharacter. Tokyopop's translation even altered a line said by Joe when he discovers her, to have him say "Hey! I remember you!" (In the original, he was only telling Helen to "hang in there!"). |
| 576 | * LaserGuidedAmnesia: In the manga, she's not only mindwiped, but seems to have had her very memories altered. She's insistent that she's an only child and can't possibly have a twin, when the team expresses suspicion of seeing a "second Helen" (Vena). |

| 618 | [[spoiler: In the manga, ''she'' is the one initially shown as a mole to Van Vogt, and Aphro and Daphne are soon discovered to be acting in unison with her.]] |
| 619 | ----- |
| 620 | * TheHeart: Is the one who mediates between the girls and tries to keep them all together. |
| 621 | * InconsistentDub: Tokyopop translated her name as '''Diana''', and the English anime alternated between calling her Dinah and '''Deena''' (the latter which carried over to the Latin American Spanish dub). As with Vena, there's question if Ishinomori might have intended her name to be "Diana" and made a mistake, or if he'd altered it slightly. |

| 629 | Youngest sister, purple tiara. Very insecure and heavily traumatized by the whole deal. [[spoiler: In the anime, this causes her to betray the sister's plans and give info to Von Bogoot. Too bad Aphro catches her in the act. To be fair to the girl, she ''does'' try to repair the damage done and frees Gilmore and some of the other 00-Cyborgs, captured by Van Vogt...]] |

| 643 | * NebulousEvilOrganisation: They succeed Black Ghost as the overarching villain group of the series. Several of the later villains the 00 cyborgs fight during the manga's 1979-1981 run were explicitly or implicitly backed by them. Unlike Black Ghost, they don't seem concerned with WarForFunAndProfit so much as accruing money and power by any means. |

| 665 | * ParentalNeglect: She doesn't exactly have the warmest relation with her daughter Anna, who may as well not even exist in her eyes. |
| 666 | * SinisterShades: Similar to most Black Ghost executives, she wears a pair of eerie black shades over her eyes. |

| 691 | |
| 692 | 004's fiancee, who tried to escape from war-torn UsefulNotes/EastGermany with him. It didn't end well. To make matters worse, it's implied in most versions that they only got caught because Albert forgot to take his wallet back from the guard after showing him his pass. The guard called out, Albert panicked, and... [[SurvivorGuilt Well, the results are obvious]]. |
| 693 | ---- |
| 694 | * AdaptationDyeJob: Blonde in the '79 anime series, brown-haired in "Legend of the Super Galaxy", but given red hair in the 2001 anime (which appears as a light brown in dark settings). |
| 695 | * TheCameo: Makes one in ''vs. Devilman'' as one of Lilith's illusions to trick the 00-Cyborgs. [[spoiler:004 sees right through it as he saw Hilda die in front of him in his backstory]]. |
| 696 | * DependingOnTheWriter: While the basic circumstances surrounding her DeathByOriginStory are all the same, the specific ones vary. In the original, she was seen [[{{Narm}} disguised as a lioness in Albert's circus truck]] (but as the male lion in the 1979 series). In the 80's movie, she was 004's co-pilot. In the 2001 series, she was hiding among the luggage of the truck. The Archaia version depicted Hilda as a foreigner whom 004 was unable to legally marry, so he attempted to smuggle her into Germany via airplane, only for it to be shot down. |
| 697 | * DependingOnTheArtist: Ishinomori depicted her with short hair in the first and second versions of the origin sequence, but then depicted her with long hair when Albert was forced to recall her death in the "Aztec" arc. The '79 and '01 anime adaptations retained her short hair, while "Legend of the Super Galaxy" (and its tie-in manga by Sugar Sato) depicted her with long hair tied back into a ponytail. |

| 705 | |
| 706 | A British scientist who was kidnapped and forced to work for Black Ghost. He strived to develop an anti-war machine known as the "Mad Machine". Depending on the continuity, his wife was either shot to death or she'd committed suicide after being disfigured from the after-effects of a bombing. |
| 707 | ---- |
| 708 | * AdaptationNameChange: Was known as "Doctor Dolphin" in the original manga, although named "Doctor Kozumi" in the 1968 anime adaptation. |
| 709 | * HighClassGlass: In the 1968 series. This is to cover for the fact that in the manga, he's missing an eye and is depicted with a scarred eye socket. |
| 710 | * ImStandingRightHere: [[spoiler:In the manga, right after he was rescued by the 00-Cyborgs, he reveals to Cynthia that he was building a machine that will destroy all weapons to avenge her mother, who was disfigured in a Nazi air raid and committed suicide. Cynthia expresses joy, but realizes the 00-Cyborgs are living weapons and also ''standing within earshot'', and feels guilty afterwards. [[SarcasmMode Nice going, you two]]. |

| 717 | The daughter and only remaining relative of Doctor Findor. To keep her father in line, the Black Ghost organization also captures Cynthia some time later and tries to use her as a hostage, but she's rescued by the 00-Cyborgs. She asks them to help her rescue her dad, but is deeply shaken when she discovers what Dr. Findor has been doing... |
| 718 | ---- |
| 719 | * ActualPacifist: Dislikes any and all weapons. |
| 720 | * AdaptationNameChange: Her name was "Iruka Dolphin" in the original manga (although [[OrwellianRetcon some reprintings have her renamed "Cynthia"]] ). The first anime series referred to her as "Shizue", while her ''mother'' was named "Cynthia". Her surname (and that of her father) was also "Kozumi" in that version. |
| 721 | * AgeLift: [[http://wisnia.tumblr.com/post/83184010164/decided-another-comparison-post-for-a-one-shot As seen here]] she's a young teenager in the manga and in the 1968 series (though the roman Album illustrations make her look like a pre-teen), but an older teen in the 2001 series. |
| 722 | * BreakTheCutie: In the 2001 anime, where she's left pretty shaken after discovering what her father had been doing behind her back... |
| 723 | * BrokenBird: Her manga backstory gave her a pretty lonely childhood, where her mother was disfigured by a Nazi air raid in WWII and committed suicide out of shame, and Dr. Findor neglected his daughter to build machines (in reality he was forced to do it by Neo-Nazis). The 2001 anime had her mother shot to death, leading to Cynthia's pacifism and hatred for machines. |
| 724 | * CallingTheOldManOut: Cynthia does this as she learns that her dad is building [[spoiler:an enormous weapon for Black Ghost to use against the 00 cyborgs]]. |
| 725 | %%* DamselInDistress: By Black Ghost (2001 anime) or the Neo-Nazis (manga). She can't really be blamed, though. |
| 726 | * ImStandingRightHere: [[spoiler:In the manga, after learning her father built an EMP generator that will destroy any machine to avenge his late wife, Cynthia expresses joy knowing she's not the only one who hated machines. But then she realizes that the 00-Cyborgs who saved her father are also living machines and ''standing within earshot'', and feels guilty afterwards. [[SarcasmMode Nice going, you two]]]]. |
| 727 | * MadScientistsBeautifulDaughter: Dr. Findor's beautiful [[VagueAge teenage/20-something-year-old]] daughter who came to hate machines after her mother was fatally shot (2001 anime) and opposed her father's activities. |
| 728 | * MissingMom: She was shot to death in front of young Cynthia in the 2001 series, hence her staunch pacifism. In the manga, her mother committed suicide due to her grief over being disfigured. |
| 729 | * PinkMeansFeminine: In the 2001 series, aside of her headband she has a pink coat and an equally rose-colored pair of boots. In manga illustrations she's dressed in yellow instead, and an illustration in the artbook following the 1968 series style gives her [[TrueBlueFemininity a blue dress]] with red boots. |

| 735 | The guardian of a mysterious pyramid made of gold, along with a robot named Kabrakan. She's very kind and gentle, but also clingy and insecure; to make things worse, Kabrakan often goes in [[UnstoppableRage murderous rampages]] as soon as it sees/senses other people around, and she cannot control its instincts. |
| 736 | ---- |
| 737 | * AdaptationDyeJob: Had black hair in Ishinomori's original artwork, which the anime interpreted as a deep green (potentially falling under HairColorDissonance for stylization purposes). Prior to this, an artbook that depicted scenes from the manga in the '70s anime style had her hair colored blue. |
| 738 | * ClingyJealousGirl: Actually subverted. She ''is'' clingy to Joe, but she's too passive to be the jealous type. |
| 739 | * FateWorseThanDeath: [[spoiler:In the case of the 2001 anime, she can't die since she's a RobotGirl with a huge HealingFactor. She can't interact with the outer world unless some conditions are met. And now that said conditions are broken and won't ever be met again, she's stranded in time and space... ''forever''. OUCH.]] |

| 760 | * FreudianExcuse: [[spoiler:Carl's mother died at a young age and his dad, while not evil or insane, was extremely emotionally neglectful. After Carl died, his mind was uploaded into the Sphynx computer and used by his father to create the virtual city Compu-Utopia. His emotional issues surfaced when he met the beautiful 00-Cyborg 003, who reminded him of his dead mother, so he kidnapped her and trapped her within his mainframe so he can stay with her forever]]. |

| 765 | * MissingMom: [[spoiler:His mom died when he was young, leaving him with a not evil but very, ''very'' {{workaholic}} and emotionally negectful father. A major reason why he kidnapped 003 is because she resembled his dead mother]]. |

| 808 | * DependingOnTheArtist: Had an uncanny resemblance to Joe when first drawn by Ishinomori, complete with the hair obscuring one eye. By the time of his second and final appearance two decades later, his hair and face were tweaked to lessen the similarities. The '01 anime uses a slightly aged-up version of his first manga design. |

[[spoiler:Unlike 009, who has constantly experienced loneliness every time he Accelerates and has a deeper appreciation of his friendships, Emperor has surrounded himself with people who worshiped him like a god and enabled his complex yet was never able to forge true bonds with them.
