2One of the publication lines of ''Creator/ImageComics'', created by Marc Silvestri and first published in 1992.

4The comic focused on the titular Cyberforce, a team of cybernetically enhanced mutants who sought to oppose the MegaCorp Cyberdata, who had kidnapped them and illegally experimented upon them to turn them into {{Super Soldier}}s.
5
6Considered one of the lesser successes of the first wave of Creator/ImageComics titles, but was the first title from Creator/TopCowProductions and its superhero universe which would later include ComicBook/{{Witchblade}} and ComicBook/TheDarkness. Under the Top Cow label, it has seen a handful of short-lived revivals titled ''Stryke Force'', named for team leader Morgan Stryker.
7----
8!!Tropes include:
9* {{Crossover}}: With ComicBook/{{Wildcats|WildStorm}}, [[ComicBook/TheSavageDragon Freak Force]], Newmen, ComicBook/JusticeLeague, and many others.
10* {{Expy}}: As was a common complaint for Image Comics, many of the characters seem to be based off of those of other companies. In Cyberforce's case, the ComicBook/XMen of Creator/MarvelComics.
11** Cyblade is a pretty obvious one to Psylocke, Heatwave shares the whole Leader/Blaster/Boring Guy combo with Cyclops, Ripclaw is a WolverineWannabe, Impact is basically like Colossus (though most '90s super-teams included a "strong guy" character) and Stryker greatly resembles Cable, but with more arms.
12* FunWithAcronyms: The main characters and most enemies were all Special Hazardous Operations Cyborgs. Or "S.H.O.Cs".
13* HollywoodCyborg: Pretty much everybody.
14* InvisibleStreaker: Sly's power forces her to do this to use it.
15* MsFanservice: One of the ''Stryke Force'' revivals gave us Sly and Tia Katana. The former was a flirty young blonde girl with GirlishPigtails who could become invisible, but had to strip naked every time she did it, and would become visible again if something broke her concentration. The latter was a buff ActionGirl who fought her enemies using a full-body tattoo that transformed into a sword, forcing her to run around in {{Stripperific}} clothes so that she could grab her sword whenever she wanted.
16* MultiArmedAndDangerous:
17** Heroic character Stryker was a mutant who had three right arms and one left arm. When he became a S.H.O.C, the right arms were replaced with bionic ones.
18** Villain Buzzcut was a hulking cyborg who had three buzzsaw-handed mechanical right arms, making him something of a EvilCounterpart to Stryker.
19* RidiculouslyHumanRobot: T.I.M.M.I.E. was one of these, created by boy-genius Chip.
20** In the latest version of Cyberforce, there is Aphrodite V.
21* [[LukeYouAreMyFather Stryker You Are My Father]]:In the latest version of Cyberforce, Carin tells Stryker that he is her dad.
22* WolverineClaws: Ripclaw, a Native American mutant who had limited shapeshifting abilities and whose fingers had been replaced with mechanical claws by Cyberdata.
