| 26 | A character suffers a horrific DisneyDeath. Their body is shattered beyond repair. NoOneCouldSurviveThat |
| 27 | |
| 28 | But later, they return! Only this time, they're a {{cyborg}}! They've got more power but they might be [[CyberneticsEatYourSoul less human]] so in villainous cases it's [[WhatMeasureIsANonHuman OK to be]] [[MechaMooks more brutal]] [[NotEvenHuman on them.]] When heroes are subject to this, it tends to make them [[WhatHaveIBecome question their humanity]], and in doing so retain it. |
| 29 | |
| 30 | This trope can serve as the [[SuperheroOrigin origin story]] for both heroes and villains of the cybernetic variety. Alternately, if the character being repaired is a [[RidiculouslyHumanRobots ridiculously human robot]], it justifies how they survive a seeming HeroicSacrifice or DisneyVillainDeath. |
| 31 | |
| 32 | A SubTrope of EmergencyTransformation. Compare with RobotMe, UnwillingRoboticisation, and VirtualGhost. Compare and contrast DarkLordOnLifeSupport, when a villain becomes ''weaker'' due to dependence on some external technology or host to sustain them. The fantasy counterpart is CameBackStrong. If the cybernetics are obvious and enhance the evilness of a character's appearance, it's a case of RedRightHand. When the one doing the rebuilding is sadistic enough, it may involve VaderBreath. If the injuries are too extensive or the technology not far enough advanced, may result in ManInTheMachine. A ''nasty'' variant is when a bad guy takes a NotQuiteDead hero and has him ReforgedIntoAMinion. |

| 38 | [[folder:Advertising]] |
| 39 | * This ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xfvvepcEloU America Online for Broadband]]'' commercial directly references the opening from ''The Six Million Dollar Man''. |
| 40 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zugDlPnQ8UM This commercial]] for ''VideoGame/BattleTanx'' featured a CaptainErsatz of the Snuggles bear being brutally injured and left for dead by one of the game's tanks. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZbW9ptmJFcU The commercial for the sequel]] depicts his injured body being rebuilt a la The Six Million Dollar Man, but [[YankTheDogsChain he ends up getting struck by another tank immediately after his recovery.]] |
| 41 | [[/folder]] |
| 42 | |
| 43 | [[folder:Anime & Manga]] |
| 44 | * The original ''Anime/ADPolicefiles'' OVA series (a ''Anime/BubblegumCrisis'' spinoff) had an episode revolve around "The Man Who Bites His Tongue", a police officer who was rebuilt with nothing organic left beside his brain and his tongue - which he began compulsively biting to hold on to his humanity. It doesn't end well, naturally. |
| 45 | * Jinno in ''Anime/AfroSamurai'' was originally mortally wounded in a mass battle for the number two headband. He was remade as a cyborg by the insane cyborg scientist Dharman. Jinno the cyborg was a superhumanly strong and skilled swordsman but was defeated and (supposedly) killed twice by Afro. When he was rebuilt a third time, he apparently was so turbo-charged, he could slap Afro around all day long. But Jinno's last act in his tortured unlife was to remember his love for Afro as a sword brother and defended Afro's life. Dying himself as a man, rather than an evil wartoy. |
| 46 | * This trope was played straight with Raiden of ''Anime/AngelCop''. For some reason, his conversion to a cyborg also involves a personality change. |
| 47 | %% * Briareos Hecatonchires in ''Manga/{{Appleseed}}'', after suffering horrible injuries during WorldWarThree. |
| 48 | * [[spoiler:Jeremiah Gottwald]] in ''Anime/CodeGeass'' pulled this one twice. Technically the second time was just the completed version. He awakened prematurely the first time, and his cybernetic upgrades were not yet finished. |
| 49 | * ''Anime/ConcreteRevolutioChoujinGensou'': Raito, the {{Cyborg}} detective. He didn't really want to be revived, but at least it helps with apprehending superhumans (the funny thing is, as a cyborg, he could count as a superhuman). |
| 50 | * ''Literature/DemonKingDaimao'' has Eiko killing [[spoiler:her father to become the new Teruya head]]. She's in for a bit of a surprise when he returns as a cyborg. |
| 51 | * We can rebuild ourselves. ''Manga/DigimonVTamer01'' features a factory shutdown by Lord [=HolyAngemon=] where monsters would go to upgrade themselves with metal parts. A Greymon from the human world whose owner attempted to delete it goes there to become a "[=MetalGreyamon=]". |
| 52 | * A rather hilarious one takes place in ''Manga/DoctorSlump'' when a bear being returned to the wild is shot. Before administering any other help or considering any other options, Senbei declares "I might still be able to make him a cyborg!" He succeeds at this. |
| 53 | * ''Franchise/DragonBall'': |
| 54 | ** Frieza, after surviving the explosion of Namek, is rebuilt as an even-more-powerful cyborg. Lampshaded in the English dub, even paraphrasing the page quote. Unfortunately for him, he still gets curb-stomped by a FutureBadass (and if Trunks hadn't come along, Goku would've just teleported there and done the same thing). |
| 55 | ** He wasn't the first one: The professional hitman Mercenary Tao did it in the original ''Manga/DragonBall'' after his own grenade exploded in his face. It didn't work out for him in the long run, either; he beat Chiaotzu, only to be outright humiliated by Tien Shinhan. |
| 56 | ** Sort-of happens to Cooler in the movies. As part of his "[[StrongerSibling like Frieza, but more]]" approach, he gets an army of cool robot bodies while what's left of the original is hooked up to the spaceship controlling them. |
| 57 | ** Dr. Gero does this to himself, becoming "Android 20". He also programs a supercomputer to think exactly like him and continue his work in the event of his death. |
| 58 | ** And apparently [[spoiler:Commander Red as Android 9]] in ''Videogame/DragonBallOnline'', though it could just be a side effect of the antagonists messing with the timeline. |
| 59 | * In the anime/manga ''Manga/DragonHalf'', villainous knight Damuramu gets defeated when he accidentally stabs himself in the head with his own sword. In his next appearance - ''even though he had no other body part injured'' - he's had everything below his neck replaced with magical bionics by a friendly blacksmith. Except his head. (He even had his flying mount replaced with a robotic version, although this was necessary because the Good Guys ate the original.) |
| 60 | %% * Possibly the first anime example: Detective Azuma, the eponymous ''Manga/EightMan1963''. |
| 61 | * Iwata in the ''Manga/ExcelSaga'' manga dies abruptly of colon cancer and is rebuilt as an android. He does not mind, but everyone else is a little weirded out, especially when he forgets to do human things and casually damages his body. |
| 62 | * ''Manga/FrankenFran'' rebuilds lots of people, not always for the better, some of whom didn't actually ''need'' rebuilding before Fran got her hands on them. |
| 63 | * Ed before the start of ''Manga/FullMetalAlchemist''. Towards the end of [[Anime/FullmetalAlchemist2003 the first anime]], Col. Archer gets this done to [[TwoFaced a much more extreme extent]]. |
| 64 | * The backstories of two main characters of ''Anime/GaoGaiGar'' is this. Guy Shishioh had his spaceship crashed with the EI-01, supposedly killing him, but he was brought back to base by Galeon and was rebuilt as a cyborg to save his life. Meanwhile, his cousin Renais Cardiff Shishioh was captured by a terrorist organization and rebuilt into a cyborg so she obeys their orders (eventually she rebelled). |
| 65 | * ''Franchise/GhostInTheShell'': |
| 66 | ** Set in a future where this trope is used to remedy all manner of injuries. Apparently replacing damaged organs with real ones is preferable since they require no expensive and time-consuming maintenance (BlessedWithSuck), but cybernetics can always be used as a last-ditch option. |
| 67 | ** In every version, the Major openly states that the reason she works for the government is that it pays for the very expensive maintenance of her state of the art cybernetic body. |
| 68 | ** [[Anime/GhostInTheShellStandAloneComplex The Tachikomas]] are fully artificial beings who share all their experiences with each other and have a complete backup of these made every day. They get blown up and shot to pieces all the time, but can upload their minds into new bodies any time. Which actually causes them quite some concern, as their inability to experience death prevents them from [[BecomeARealBoy Becoming A Real Boy]]. |
| 69 | * ''Manga/{{Gintama}}'', being the PostModern GagSeries that it is, doesn't just do this to one of the characters... it does this to Hideaki Sorachi - Gintama's author! [[spoiler:During the Character Popularity Poll Arc [[note]]Yes, Sorachi made an entire arc out of a Character Popularity Poll![[/note]], Tae freaks at ranking lower than two "monkeys" (Kondo and Sorachi's AuthorAvatar), so she [[BreakingTheFourthWall breaks the fourth wall]] to kill Sorachi. Next chapter/episode, he's rebuilt as a cyborg!]] |
| 70 | ** Obi Hajime, Shinpachi's and Tae's childhood friend, is a more serious example. |
| 71 | ** A less serious example is [[spoiler:Yamazaki, who only had to be rebuilt because [[SomethingWeForgot nobody bothered to check if he was still alive]]]]. |
| 72 | * The Social Welfare Agency from ''Manga/GunslingerGirl'' rebuilds [[ChildSoldiers little girls]] who have suffered tragically and are listed as terminal, using cybernetic technology and [[{{Brainwashed}} psychological conditioning]] to turn them into [[SuperSoldier assassins]]. CyberneticsEatYourSoul is played up for all its tragedy. |
| 73 | * [[spoiler:The Major]] in ''Manga/{{Hellsing}}'' although the original manga never got around explaining how he became one. Fans speculate that the prequel series will show what happened between the time he is assumed to be still made of flesh and the not-so-human plot twist fifty years later. |
| 74 | * In ''Manga/{{Inuyasha}}'', Ginkotsu was a cyborg all along, but when he blew up, [[EvilGenius Renkotsu]] got his torso and mounted it on a tank chassis, along with 50 or so rocket launchers. |
| 75 | * ''Manga/{{Inuyashiki}}'', by the same author of ''Manga/{{Gantz}}'', is about an old man and a teenager that are accidentally blown up by aliens and later rebuilt as super-powered cyborgs. While the old man uses his new self to become a hero and help other people, the teenager uses it for OmnicidalManiac purposes. |
| 76 | * An interesting take on it is Stroheim from [[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureBattleTendency the second part]] of ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure''. He first appears to be a villain, proves to be a NobleDemon, performs a HeroicSacrifice in an attempt to destroy Santana, then returns later as a cyborg... just in time to pull a HeelFaceTurn. He then gets chopped in half by Kars, only to come back ''again'' even more cyborged up in time for the grand finale. |
| 77 | * [[spoiler:[[UsefulNotes/NorthKorea Kim Jong-Il]]]] in ''Manga/TheLegendOfKoizumi'' after he fell into the sea and was eaten by sharks. |
| 78 | * ProfessionalKiller Laura from ''Anime/{{Mnemosyne}}'' is rebuilt with a cybernetic body. It is hinted that the sadistic BigBad dissected her before doing so. |
| 79 | * Done in ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamIronBloodedOrphans''. After being nearly killed [[spoiler:Ein]] is rebuilt into a {{cyborg}}. [[spoiler:A cyborg that IS a Graze Mobile Suit, the Graze Ein. It is [[ManInTheMachine unclear if he can be removed at all from the suit]].]] |
| 80 | * In ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'', [[spoiler:Madara]] rebuilt [[spoiler:Obito]] by replacing [[spoiler:the crushed half of his body]] with Hashirama's cells. |
| 81 | * ''Manga/OnePiece'': |
| 82 | ** Franky has the particular mention of being a heroic example of this trope who ''[[{{Determinator}} rebuilt himself while]] [[NormallyIWouldBeDeadNow in a critical condition]]''. |
| 83 | ** [[spoiler:Bartholomew Kuma]] is rebuilt as well, but it's not quite certain whether he needed to be. Also, [[spoiler:he went further than Franky did, [[CyberneticsEatYourSoul and completely became a machine]]]]. |
| 84 | * Abullah in ''Manga/{{Pluto}}''. [[spoiler:He thinks he's one of these. In reality, portions of his memory caused a superpowerful robot to think it was him and the human Abullah is dead.]] |
| 85 | * ''Anime/PokemonTheSeries'': During the climax of the ''[=XY&Z=]'' Saga, Citroid/[[DubNameChange Clembot]] [[HeroicSacrifice sacrifices himself to stop Team Flare and save the world]]. The sacrifice erases his flash memory which effectively kills him, so even after he's rebuilt, his memories cannot be recovered, thus he has to start from the ground up as a trainer and a person. |
| 86 | * ''Literature/RebuildWorld'': It's mentioned most cyborgs in the setting aren't one by choice, with SenseLossSadness explored in depth. In part {{Foreshadowing}} this, it's described how many hunters use a BrainUploading black box of sorts within their body that can be recovered to make them a FullConversionCyborg after "death". This happens [[spoiler:when Zelmo's fellow terrorists recover his body after Akira kills him for raiding Sheryl's shop.]] Additionally, there are MadScientist Yatsubiyashi's unethical experiments [[TooDesperateToBePicky taking advantage of those in the slums unable to pay]], which include Tiol, after being shot by Airi, getting monster {{Nanomachines}} injected into him which makes him face CyberneticsEatYourSoul, HorrorHunger, and FightingFromTheInside against monster programming and A.I. hacking him. |
| 87 | * In the manga version of ''Manga/SailorMoon'', [[spoiler:Hotaru/Sailor Saturn]] was made into a cyborg [[spoiler:after she was badly injured ''and'' horribly scarred in an explosion that killed her mother when she was little and her MadScientist father remade her body with cybernetics and fused it with Pharaoh 90's power]]. This is the reason why she wears long sleeves in order to hide her cybernetic body. |
| 88 | %% * Hero example: [[spoiler:Joe Asakura]] in ''Anime/ScienceNinjaTeamGatchaman''. |
| 89 | * In ''Manga/ShinMazingerZero'', [[spoiler:Kouji Kabuto]] died one year ago fighting Dr. Hell and was immediately rebuilt into a full-body cyborg that maintains its original appearance using an Atmosphere Element Fixation Device like Anime/CuteyHoney. |
| 90 | * This is Kiddy Phenil's back story in ''Manga/SilentMobius''. After being carved up with RazorFloss by a serial killer named Wire, she is rebuilt as a cyborg much stronger than a normal human. An {{omake}} strip even has teammate Lebia trying to convince her to cosplay as Franchise/RoboCop. |
| 91 | * The 2000 anime ''Sin: The Movie'' uses this trope, as well. A flashback shows lead character Blade gunned down and fatally injured, only to be saved by being rebuilt with cybernetic parts, which end up coming in handy eventually. |
| 92 | * ''Anime/TenchiMuyoGXP'': Would-be KnightOfCerebus Tarant Shank goes through several rounds of this after humiliating defeats. It never helps. |
| 93 | * ''Anime/UsagichanDeCue'': Admonisher Dekao squares off against Inaba Mikami four times, losing each time. After each defeat, Dekao returns rebuilt with cybernetic parts. In his last battle, Dekao is just a head directing a GiantMecha on caterpillar treads. He still loses. |
| 94 | [[/folder]] |
| 95 | |
| 96 | [[folder:Card Games]] |
| 97 | * While not actually involving cybernetics, the necromantic Golgari guild of ''[[TabletopGame/MagicTheGathering Magic]]''[='=]s Ravnica setting is apparently quite casual about reanimating and 'improving' their dead with plant life, as illustrated on cards like [[http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=88986 Vigor Mortis.]] |
| 98 | * In ''Anime/YuGiOh'', Gagagigo was rebuilt as the cybernetic Giga Gagagigo in order to fight the Invader of Darkness; however, [[CyberneticsEatYourSoul the transformation corrupted him,]] eventually leading him to become a mindless half-mechanical monstrosity. Fortunately, a reunion with an old friend restored Gagagigo's sanity. Another example would be Inpachi, a tree golem which was burned into charcoal and resurrected as the cybernetic Woodborg Inpachi. |
| 99 | [[/folder]] |
| 100 | |
| 101 | [[folder:Comic Books]] |
| 102 | %% * ''ComicBook/AllFallDown'': [[spoiler:Pronto]] goes through this, becoming the brainwashed and crazy Modern Prometheus, who nearly kills Siphon. |
| 103 | * ''ComicBook/AllStarSquadron'': Commander Steel is a man named Henry Haywood who was injured in an accident and had his skeleton replaced with a metallic alloy when the doctors helped him recover. |
| 104 | * ''ComicBook/AvengersArena'': Rebecca Ryker has this as backstory. When a Deathlok robot from the future tried to kill her father, lead designer of Deathlok program, he instead killed her mother and brother as well as severely wounded her. Her father then saved her life but turning her into a cyborg, now known also under alias Death Locket. |
| 105 | * ''ComicBook/{{Batman}}'': Gearhead. While he was kidnapping and holding Gloria Osteen, his boss' daughter, for ransom, he ran afoul of Batman who rescued her, but Batman was not able to save Nathan from falling to a presumed icy death. Nathan Finch's body was discovered by two down-and-out people who take him to an underworld doctor named Dr. Bascomb. It turned out that Nathan was not dead and the doctor wanted Nathan's knowledge of cybernetics. Due to the ravages of frostbite, Dr. Bascomb was forced to remove his arms and legs and replaced them with cybernetic arms and legs. Following training with his cybernetic limbs, Nathan becomes Gearhead and develops his own cybernetic arsenal of removable body parts as well as a goal to exterminate Batman. |
| 106 | * ''ComicBook/CaptainAmerica'': Averted with [=USAgent=]. He lost an arm and a leg to Nuke, a cybernetically-augmented SuperSoldier, but refuses to get cybernetic replacements, as he doesn't want to look down at his own body and be reminded of Nuke every day... [[HandicappedBadass not that he really needs 'em]]. Played straight later, his legs do get rebuilt by his supervillainess comrade Toxy Doxie. He accepts because these legs aren't robotic but are instead made of re-engineered alien symbiote. |
| 107 | * ''ComicBook/{{Chassis}}'': Covergirl was almost killed in a spectacular FlyingCar crash.She underwent extensive reconstructive surgery that included the implanting of various mechanical improvements in her body. However, her lungs were so badly damaged that she cannot survive without a portable respirator machine she must always carry with her. |
| 108 | * ''ComicBook/{{Chew}}'': The comic has this for two characters [[spoiler:so far]]. The first one it happens to is [[spoiler:Colby]] who [[spoiler:takes a butcher's knife to the face in issue #1]] while [[spoiler:Poyo]] undergoes this later on. |
| 109 | %% * Oily Duck from the ''Conservation Corps'' FunnyAnimal [[GreenAesop environmental Aesop]] comic book series. |
| 110 | * ''ComicBook/{{Deathlok}}'': A US Army [[ColonelBadass colonel]] who was mortally wounded in a BadFuture, he gets reanimated as a cyborg and eventually time travels to the main Franchise/MarvelUniverse. |
| 111 | * ''ComicBook/DogManDavPilkey'': When the body of Greg the dog and the head of Knight the human police officer are dying, doctors sew Greg's head onto Knight's body, creating Dog Man. |
| 112 | * ''ComicBook/DoomPatrol'': Robotman. In his case, everything but the brain is robotic. |
| 113 | * ''ComicBook/GlobalFrequency'': The comic features a squad assembled from members of the titular group to take down a "realistic" take on the Six Million Dollar Man. Specifically creating the single successful individual required several failures and cost somewhere in the vein of five hundred million dollars. It entailed basically turning the subject into a humanoid BrainInAJar as his skin was replaced, bones were replaced, weapons were installed, and chips were inserted into his brain to allow him to operate everything. He also runs on at least two nuclear reactors, has a plasma laser in his chest, a vulcan minigun in his arm, and can do 70 miles per hour from a standing start. Most nefariously, he has a wire to simulate sexual pleasure from murdering people...and he's loose. |
| 114 | * ''ComicBook/JudgeDredd'': Medical and cybernetic technology has advanced sufficiently that critically wounded judges and soldiers can be rebuilt as cyborgs. Notably, [[SpaceMarine Nate Slaughterhouse]] is left as little more than a head and one shoulder before he is rebuilt as a mandroid. |
| 115 | * ''ComicBook/{{Legacy}}'': Cade refuses to let Azlyn Rae die and has her put in a Vader-like life support armor. She is initially very unhappy with this, both because she was at peace and because the armor came with a Vader-like mask too. Fortunately, she was able to trade up for a more elegant suit of armor sans breath mask. |
| 116 | * ''ComicBook/MoonKnight'': Moon Knight briefly had a teenage sidekick named Jeff Wilde, a.k.a. Midnight, the son of his old enemy Midnight Man. Wilde was killed during a battle with the Secret Empire, but as was eventually revealed, the blast only badly injured him, and the Empire took the opportunity to rebuild him as a monstrous cyborg, obsessed with revenge against Moon Knight. |
| 117 | * ''ComicBook/{{Okko}}'': A custom [[PoweredArmor Bunraku]] was fashioned for the legendary demon hunter Kubban Kiritsu that essentially served as his new body after he was badly maimed in his duel with the sorcerer Phang Lho. |
| 118 | * ''ComicBook/{{The Outsiders|DCComics}}'': This is what the villain the Duke of Oil thinks SKULL did to him after his accident. He was actually subjected to UnwillingRoboticisation. |
| 119 | * ''ComicBook/ThePunisher'': The Punisher fights and decapitates a villain known only as The Russian. He is later rebuilt with stolen technology, but, in a terrifying move, is now given huge boobs as an unfortunate side effect of the hormone treatment required to keep him alive. The Russian isn't the least bit fazed by this, and actually requests to have them made ''[[BuxomBeautyStandard bigger]]!'' |
| 120 | * ''ComicBook/RomSpaceKnight'': The first generation of Spaceknights volunteered to be made cyborgs with half of their bodies replaced by tech, with the understanding that after the Dire Wraith threat is ended, they will be restored. Unfortunately, all of their stored organics wind up destroyed. |
| 121 | * ''ComicBook/SonicTheHedgehogArchieComics'': |
| 122 | ** Bunnie Rabbot has a variation of this. Her old roboticized limbs were finally being rejected by her body, and the toxin building up was killing her. She was given two options -- attempt deroboticization, which had a very low chance of succeeding[[note]]it's stated that they can only be reverted by using the same roboticizor, and while the Freedom Fighters had Bunnie's, it had been repaired and modified over time, thus it might not count as the true original machine[[/note]], or replace her robotic limbs for new functional ones, making her impossible to de-roboticize. She took the latter option. |
| 123 | ** In the CosmicRetcon universe, this trope was played straight with Bunnie: when Eggman took over Mobotropolis, a young Bunnie was caught in falling debris. To save her, Professor Charles the Hedgehog (the former Uncle Chuck) snuck Bunnie back into the city and used his roboticizor to save her life. It's also revealed that Eggman does this to those who join him, giving them cybernetics, but purposely botches them so that they'll stay with him forever. |
| 124 | * ''ComicBook/SpiderMan'': Silvermane, a high-ranking member of {{The Ma|fia}}ggia who sought a way to avoid death from old age for years, eventually resorting to transforming himself into a cyborg after being badly injured during a fight with the second Green Goblin. |
| 125 | * ''ComicBook/StarWarsMarvel1977'': |
| 126 | ** In the very first non-film comic, a town proves unwilling to let a man be buried in the graveyard set aside for offworlders because he was a cyborg, so you know there's a lot of FantasticRacism. A stormtrooper named [[http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Beilert_Valance Valance]] who was badly injured and had to be made into a cyborg became a bounty hunter who mostly expressed [[YouAreWhatYouHate hatred towards droids]]. |
| 127 | ** Then there's Shira Brie/Lumiya. Originally Luke's {{wingma|n}}te and love interest, he shot her down without knowing who she was while on a mission and later found that she was actually an assassin/agent [[GoSeduceMyArchNemesis sent by his father]]. At the end of that arc, she was seen floating in a bacta tank, observed by Vader. Later she resurfaced with three prosthetic limbs and extensive scarring as Lumiya, Dark Lady of the Sith. |
| 128 | * ''ComicBook/{{Supergirl}}'': |
| 129 | ** Reactron was turned into an armored, Golden-Kryptonite-powered cyborg after getting beaten by Supergirl. |
| 130 | ** In the story arc ''ComicBook/{{Bizarrogirl}}'', Bizarro Luthor gets stomped by a monster. Bizarro assures that it does not matter since he can simply remake Lex. |
| 131 | --->'''Bizarro:''' We will just make another Lex like I made him the first time. |
| 132 | * ''ComicBook/{{Superman}}'': Metallo is in most versions a criminal (usually a man named John Corben, but there's been others, including a version of Lex Luthor) who has his brain put into a robotic body after his original human form is damaged beyond repair. Adding an extra layer to the character is the fact that in most versions, only green kryptonite can provide enough power to properly run the robotic body, inevitably driving him into conflict with Superman. |
| 133 | * ''ComicBook/TeenTitans'': College athlete Victor Stone is badly injured in a lab accident (originally a transdimensional experiment his parents were working on, which released a monstrous being, but it varies by canon). This led to the death of his mother, and his distraught father rebuilds him with experimental technology, turning him into the superhero Cyborg. Understandably, Cyborg is badly traumatized both by his injuries and UnwillingRoboticisation for quite some time. Not helping is that his cybernetics put an end to his athletic career. |
| 134 | * ''ComicBook/TransformersVsGIJoe'': Billy loses his arm and leg during a fight with Snake-Eyes. Megatron then replaces Billy's missing limbs by binary-bonding him to the Decepticons Army (who serves as Billy's new arm) and Limbot (who is the replacement for Billy's leg). |
| 135 | * ''ComicBook/UltimateMarvel'': The Ultimate version of ComicBook/BlackPanther is a Wakandan teenager who was rebuilt into a cyborg by Weapon X after getting mauled by a panther. |
| 136 | * ''ComicBook/WarlordOfMars'': The Machine Men were Martians that have been killed and had their heads placed on cybernetic bodies. Their creation was possible by researching an ancient golem sealed under Helium's catacombs. Their head being intact is required to create a Machine Man, the manner or time of their death is irrelevant. The very first Machine Man [[spoiler:Senneth Dor]] tries to raise an army with them to conquer Mars. |
| 137 | * ''ComicBook/XMen'': The villain Crimson Commando was nearly killed during a mission working for the U.S. government in Iraq, including having his arm sliced off. He was saved by [[DishingOutDirt Avalanche]], who got him back to base in time to receive medical attention. Since he still wanted to serve his country, the Commando agreed to be rebuilt as a cyborg by SHIELD scientists. A test run briefly caused him to go crazy until he was stopped by ComicBook/SpiderMan and ComicBook/GhostRider, but once the bugs were worked out he started serving as a government agent full-time. |
| 138 | [[/folder]] |
| 139 | |
| 140 | [[folder:Fan Works]] |
| 141 | * In ''Fanfic/Ben10Unlimited'', like in canon, Victor Stone gets rebuilt into Cyborg after being left near death, but instead of a lab accident, it's a bombing by Kobra cultists. |
| 142 | * In ''[[http://fav.me/dd7ow55 Case of the Missing Technology]]'', this was literally happening when the narrator finds out what had happened to [[spoiler:Music/MelanieC]]. Since she had been [[AnArmAndALeg left in pieces]] as [[UnwillingRoboticisation "part of an experiment"]], the rescue team was forced to go for this option. |
| 143 | * In Volume Three of ''Fanfic/FalloutEquestriaProjectHorizons'', [[spoiler:protagonist Blackjack gets rebuilt with {{Magitek}} cybernetics after dying of her horrific injuries, including [[BodyHorror Taint]], [[AnArmAndALeg mutilated limbs]] and [[EyeScream the loss of both eyes.]] Her eyes and many of her internal organs are given cybernetic replacements, and her legs are fully mechanical. Built-in talismans give her the ability to [[ExtremeOmnivore eat and digest]] gems (for magical power) and metal (for self-repair capabilities). Blackjack is less than pleased with her mechanical body - having seen first-hand that CyberneticsEatYourSoul - and often expresses her frustration at the fact that her body no longer reacts to her emotions]]. |
| 144 | * In ''Fanfic/{{Origins}}'', a ''Franchise/MassEffect''[=/=]''Franchise/StarWars''[[spoiler:[=/=]''[=Borderlands=]''[=/=]''[=Halo=]'']] MassiveMultiplayerCrossover, Samantha Shepard cheats death ''[[RuleOfThree three]]'' times, two involving adding more cyborg parts -- the first is [[VideoGame/MassEffect2 Cerberus' work]] and the second arises from being [[HalfTheManHeUsedToBe Half the Woman She Used to Be]] courtesy of being taken out of the final battle in ''Fanfic/FracturedSovereignGFC''. |
| 145 | * In ''Fanfic/PokemonResetBloodlines'', Ash's Pokédex, who up to that point had been established to be MadeOfIndestructium, [[TheWorfEffect was destroyed]] when he made [[OlympusMons Mewtwo]] get enraged. Fortunately, when Ash returns to Pallet Town, Professor Oak informs him that all of his data and personality is backed up, enough to be uploaded into a new case. |
| 146 | * In ''The Secret Collocation of Alex Mack''- a sequel to ''The League of Extraordinary Women'' and ''Fanfic/TheSecretReturnOfAlexMack''- primary fanfic protagonist Alex Mack, who previously made contact with Buffy Summers, Selina Kyle, Samantha Carter, Jamie Sommers, and Hermione Granger, is drawn into the parallel universe of Harry Dresden, along with her various allies from her previous cross-dimensional experience, ''and'' six versions of her from the various parallel realities (Lexi Mack the Slayer, Alexan Mack of the American wizarding world, etc.). In the world of Jamie Sommers, Jamie 'recruited' Aly Mack for the bionics program after she was caught in a serious plane accident, which resulted in her losing most of her limbs and internal organs and suffering severe burns; Aly states at one point that she has around 40% of her original body left, with the rest all being bionic. |
| 147 | * "[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/2516242/1/A-Slayer-Transformed A Slayer Transformed]]" opens with Faith Lehane (''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'') helping Optimus Prime (''Franchise/{{Transformers}}'') fight off a demon attack, but Faith suffers serious injuries in the process. The Autobots are able to save her life, but it requires her to receive various cybernetic implants; while exact details are not provided, an X-ray indicates that at least one of Faith's lungs and most of her lower body organs have been altered (although her reproductive organs are still intact). |
| 148 | * In ''Fanfic/{{Synthesis}}'', The basic premise of the Synthesis technology is to convert a dying human (or a pair for the Kagamine program) into a robot that virtually looks indistinguishable from normal humans. How it actually work is [[BlackBox largely unknown]], even to its operator. |
| 149 | * In ''Fanfic/XCOMRWBYWithin'', during the events of the [[WhamEpisode Site Recon mission]], [[spoiler:Blake]] is badly wounded, and has to be turned into a [[{{Cyborg}} MEC Trooper]] in order to survive. Because of this, their semblance stops working properly, [[spoiler:with her missing limbs no longer appearing on her afterimage, requiring a special hologram projector to cover it up]]. Remember, semblances are an expression of [[CyberneticsEatYourSoul the user's soul]]. |

| 156 | [[folder:Film -- Live-Action]] |
| 157 | * ''Film/{{Dogma}}'': The Metatron (as played by AlanRickman of course) paraphrased the speech from the show, while Bethany was busy being resurrected. |
| 158 | * [[spoiler:Wang the Perverted]] came back as [[spoiler:Evil Presence]] in ''[[ParallelPornTitles Flesh Gordon Meets the Cosmic Cheerleaders]]''. Since the same actor portrayed both characters, with no attempt to hide his voice, it's obvious to everyone who watches. |
| 159 | %% ** [[http://i292.photobucket.com/albums/mm24/ecsegar/kingghidorah8.jpg Say "Hi" to Mecha-King Ghidorah]] |
| 160 | %% * [[Film/Godzilla1954 The original]] Franchise/{{Godzilla}} went from [[http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/kk210/xolta_99/1810602_780cf736b9_m.jpg this]] to [[http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r212/MasterGodzilla/kiryu03.jpg this]] when he was [[Film/GodzillaAgainstMechagodzilla rebuilt as Kiryu]] (the latest version of Mechagodzilla). |
| 161 | * ''Film/InspectorGadget1999'' has Gadget as a security guard who was injured in an explosion and gets converted into a cyborg police inspector by the experimental Gadget Program. |
| 162 | * When Jason is killed in ''Film/JasonX'', there's not enough left of him for the futuristic medical beds to reconstruct as he was, so he is instead reconstructed as a cyborg ([[OhCrap much to the heroes' chagrin]]). |
| 163 | * ''Film/{{Nemesis}}'': The protagonist, Alex. |
| 164 | --> '''Narrator''': It took them six months to put him back together. Synthetic flesh, bioengineered organs. It always scared him that they might take out his soul... and replace it with some matrix chip. |
| 165 | * ''Franchise/RoboCop'': |
| 166 | ** ''Film/RoboCop1987'': Alex Murphy is rebuilt as a cyborg after he is murdered by criminals. Apparently the original Robocop team was on to something, as they decided to preserve Murphy's original face (with some body horror thrown in, it IS his actual face skin) even though the body prosthesis is complete: no original limbs from his body remain, only his brain, nervous system, some vertebrae, and a rudimentary digestive system. That's right, Robocop doesn't even have to "breathe" to function. In the second movie, Robocop mentions they "did this to honor him" referring to Alex Murphy as if he were another man. |
| 167 | ** Ditto for the villain Cain in ''Film/RoboCop2'' who lost [[BrainInAJar his whole body]]. Especially monstrous as OCP killed Cain explicitly so they could rebuild him. Another interesting side note is that several other attempted [=RoboCop=] 2s committed suicide; the implication is that people need a level of motivation found mostly in psychotics to be able to tolerate a cyborg's existence. It's also implied that BodyHorror played a significant part in those suicides. Those failed batches were ''much less'' human in appearance than the [=RoboCop=] model Murphy was converted into. |
| 168 | ** ''Film/RoboCop2014'' has a much more mobile version of the character. He can run and fight hand-to-hand. Also, for some reason, Alex's right hand was left original. Given how powerful his custom weapon is, wouldn't a human hand be shattered by the recoil? Additionally, the scientist in charge of the project made sure that the cyborg would stay loyal and complete missions by controlling the body and tricking Alex's brain into thinking that he's the one in control. However, later, Alex manages to override the body's priority and takes control. |
| 169 | * In the SoBadItsGood sci-fi comedy ''Film/SpaceTruckers'', the CorruptCorporateExecutive betrays the MadScientist by turning his KillerRobot creations against him. Fortunately for him, he's able to rebuild himself, turning himself into a grotesque mish-mash of man and machine, and takes up a new life as a pirate. |
| 170 | * ''Film/SpyHard'': General Rancor has been rebuilt with artificial arms after surviving the explosion of his helicopter so he can menace the world once more. |
| 171 | * ''Franchise/StarWars'': Anakin Skywalker / Darth Vader. At the climax of ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith'', he gets horrifically burned and loses all of his limbs save his prosthetic hand. Palpatine has him outfitted with new prosthetics and a [[VaderBreath breathing apparatus.]] He's still mostly human, but can't survive without his suit, "more machine now than man," as Obi-Wan says in ''Film/ReturnOfTheJedi''. |
| 172 | * ''Film/TheVindicator'': After dying in a suspicious "accident", the protagonist Carl Lehman is given a cyborg body constructed from an experimental flight suit he had been developing and cutting-edge prosthetics technology provided by his employer the ARC Corporation. |
| 173 | * Dr. Arliss Loveless in ''Film/WildWildWest'' lost the entire lower half of his body to his explosive experiments during the Civil War. Somehow, he survived and managed to build himself a replacement in the form of a SteamPunk wheelchair with some "custom" features. He also implies that he has found a way of restoring certain other lower-body functions using technology. "Somethin' hard-pumpin', and indefatigably steely"! |

| 176 | [[folder:Literature]] |
| 177 | * In Creator/WilliamGoldman's ''Brothers'', his sequel to ''Film/MarathonMan'', [[spoiler:Scylla]] was brought back this way by his boss and friend Perkins: "If we can keep you alive through the night and if we can pump strength into your body, I want to change you--your prints, your face, your voice, state-of-the-art surgery..." |
| 178 | * ''Cyborg'' by Creator/MartinCaidin. The book they based the TV series ''Series/TheSixMillionDollarMan'' on. Steve Austin is an Airforce test pilot rebuilt with cybernetic parts after a horrific crash. He spends much of the book wrestling with CyberneticsEatYourSoul, mostly because the prosthetics in the book are more "realistic" than in the TV series: He can't see through his bionic eye, though it can act as a micro-camera; his bionic limbs carry limited and unfamiliar sensation; and he only has 'super strength' in his grip, and in some forms of striking. Though he can run at tremendous speed almost indefinitely and has a broad variety of built-in equipment. |
| 179 | * An interesting example is from Terry Pratchett's ''Literature/FeetOfClay'', where [[spoiler:the {{Golem}} Dorfl is destroyed in the final battle against the golem Mesugah]]. Afterwards, Captain Carrot actually says, in a [[ShoutOut direct reference]] to ''Series/TheSixMillionDollarMan'', the line: "We can rebake him. We have the pottery." And they do. Subverted, the character wasn't alive to begin with or at least had no biological components. And he only got one improvement, though it was very significant: the power of speech. |
| 180 | * Throughout ''Literature/FreakTheMighty'', Freak lies to Max that the hospital will eventually cure his crippling disease by building him a whole new body. Max believes this, [[spoiler:which makes Freak's eventual [[DeathByNewberyMedal death]] a brutal shock for him]]. |
| 181 | %% * In ''Freedom'' (the sequel to ''Literature/{{Daemon}}''), [[spoiler:Loki]] receives this treatment after being disfigured during torture. |
| 182 | * In ''Literature/HeartOfSteel'', Alistair Mechanus rebuilds Julia's mangled boyfriend into a cyborg as a gift, complete with lots of neural dampeners to keep him in line. Things go sideways very quickly when Jim breaks free. |
| 183 | * People in ''Literature/HonorHarrington'' generally prefer a regen therapy, but there's a sizable minority for whom it doesn't work, including the main character. These unfortunates have to do with prosthetics, up to and including becoming a {{Cyborg}} depending on the extent of the damage. Honor, for example, has an artificial eye and an artificial arm ([[ArmCannon with a built-in gun]], no less). |
| 184 | %% * The Tin Man from the ''Literature/LandOfOz'' books may be the UrExample. |
| 185 | * In Max Barry's ''Literature/MachineMan'', Dr. Charles Neumann does this to ''himself'', going from [[spoiler:amputee, to double-amputee, to ManInTheMachine, to BrainInAJar, to full-on BrainUploading]]. |
| 186 | %% * Played for laughs by Creator/EdgarAllanPoe in [[spoiler:''The Man Who Was Used Up'']]. |
| 187 | * Several examples in Betsy Cornwell's ''Mechanica'' duology: |
| 188 | ** In ''Literature/{{Mechanica}}'', the tiny clockwork horse Jules is smashed to pieces, but [[spoiler:Nick eventually rebuilds him as a life-sized, rideable coal-powered horse. He retains the same sentient mind in both forms because the same magical Ashes are stored inside him]]. |
| 189 | ** In ''Venturess'', [[spoiler:Nick's mother is revealed to [[NotQuiteDead still be alive]] in a mechanical body, which she built to save herself from her terminal illness. During the climactic battle, she's "fatally" damaged and Nick is [[IWillOnlySlowYouDown forced to dismantle her]], but afterwards, Nick effectively becomes her mother's "mother" by rebuilding her. As with Jules, her mind is retained in the Ashes... the magic-infused cremains of her original organic body]]. |
| 190 | ** Also in ''Venturess'', this turns out to be the secret behind Esting's mechanical army. [[spoiler:Esting's soldiers have been using the geyser of magical fire in Faerie to burn their wounded men and horses alive, preserving their minds in their Ashes, and then building new, invulnerable mechanical bodies for them.]] |
| 191 | * The hero of Creator/ArthurCClarke's short story "A Meeting With Medusa" is a man who was, delicately speaking, badly hurt in a blimp crash, and was more reconstructed (with cybernetics) than healed. The doctors were nice enough to make him 20 centimeters taller to make up for being half-machine. The sequel-by-other-hands, ''The Medusa Chronicles'' by Creator/StephenBaxter and Creator/AlastairReynolds, has him continually ''re''-rebuilt over the centuries, until [[spoiler:he sheds his last organic components to survive Jupiter Below, but maintains continuity of consciousness]]. |
| 192 | * In ''Literature/PreludeToDune'', Prince Rhombur Vernius of Ix is seriously injured during an assassination attempt on his friend Duke Leto Atreides, losing his entire lower half and much of the upper half. Dr. Wellington Yueh, who has just managed to perfect cybernetic prosthetics on Richese, agrees to "fix" Rhombur with the prosthetics. After the procedure, he is more machine than flesh. Since Rhombur is Ixian, machines are a big part of his life, so being a cyborg for him is not so bad. However, he loses the ability to reproduce and, being the last surviving member of House Vernius, knows his line is ending. His wife suggests impregnating herself with the semen of Rhombur's deceased half-brother on his mother's side, thus providing him with a distaff heir. With his new cybernetic body, Rhombur is very strong and can crush a man's neck with one hand. He does, however, spend years learning how to properly use his new parts. |
| 193 | * Creator/PeterDavid's ''Literature/PsiMan'' series has Beutel return with fewer and fewer organic parts each time, after getting trashed in the previous appearance's NoOneCouldSurviveThat moment. We ''think'' the finale got him for real... |
| 194 | * In the ''Literature/QuantumGravity'' series, [[ActionGirl Lila Black]] comes back from [[OurElvesAreDifferent Alfheim]] after a torture session and goes through this in order to survive. [[spoiler:In a twist emphasizing the GreyAndGrayMorality, she didn't need those to survive until the people in her organization got their hands on her...]] |
| 195 | * In the ''Literature/RevelationSpaceSeries'', the BigBad Skade is mortally wounded in an accident involving a [[spoiler:faster-than-light drive, in a universe where that's a [[RetGone Very Bad Thing]] to experiment with]]. Her head is retrieved and hooked up to what is essentially a suit of PoweredArmor. A similar approach is mentioned with a special type of spacesuit helmet that appears in ''Literature/RevelationSpace'', which in the event of a suit breach, will [[LosingYourHead chop off the user's head]] and [[HumanPopsicle freeze it]], so that they can be retrieved and revived on a new cybernetic body. |
| 196 | * The third ''Literature/RobotCity'' novel, ''Cyborg'', used this with a teenager named Jeff Leong, whose body was mangled in a crash-landing to the point that the city's robots had no choice but to put his brain in a modified robot shell, with his body [[HumanPopsicle frozen]] for reintegration later. It worked, but he ran off out of shock before tests could be completed. Along the way, Jeff slowly becomes DrunkWithPower from his new abilities and starts thinking the other humans on the planet should be like him. [[spoiler:It turns out that later due to the robots' incomplete knowledge of human anatomy, Jeff wasn't given the proper brain chemicals to stay sane after the transplant. After said brain is returned to Jeff's body, he goes back to normal.]] |
| 197 | * This is the superhero Fatale's origin in ''Literature/SoonIWillBeInvincible''. She is an ex-NSA cyborg whose implants come from a SuperSoldier program that never really existed, becoming a candidate for that program after a near-fatal traffic accident in Brazil. She doesn't remember why she was there, or any of her previous life. Weighs about 500 pounds due to all the metal in her body. |
| 198 | * ''Franchise/StarWarsLegends'' is loaded with characters good and characters evil who end up as cyborgs: |
| 199 | ** There's some FantasticRacism directed towards those who lose more than a limb. Admiral Krennel literally has a skeletal prosthetic right hand [[RedRightHand that glows red]]. ''Darklighter'' reveals that [[AcePilot Hobbie Klivian]] has at least an arm and a leg, and ''Literature/LukeSkywalkerAndTheShadowsOfMindor'' shows readers that he also lost his ''other'' leg. [[Literature/XWingSeries Ton Phanan]] lost limbs, half his face, and eventually more and more, and found that [[CyberneticsEatYourSoul cybernetics ate his future]]. |
| 200 | ** ''Literature/DeathStar'' has a surgeon looking at Darth Vader from a safe distance and thinking that it's pretty obvious that the Dark Lord is largely cybernetic. But it seems that ''this'' book is a little divorced from the rest of the EU, since the surgeon seems to think that cybernetics are rare and most people opt to have the missing tissue [[CloningBodyParts cloned and grafted on.]] |
| 201 | ** Supplementary material for ''[[VideoGame/DarkForcesSaga Dark Forces]]'' reveals that the prototypes for darktroopers - robotic stormtroopers - were aging veteran clone troopers, too old to fight well but very experienced, who had seventy percent or more of their bodies replaced. [[CloneAngst No one asked them about this beforehand]], so while they were effective in the battlefield, a lot of them committed suicide. |
| 202 | ** In ''ComicBook/DarkEmpire'', the cloned Palpatine uses Shadow Droids, which are similar except that they're fighters piloted by the brains of incapacitated TIE pilots. And they can use the Force. Sorta. |
| 203 | ** Ton Phanan of [[Literature/XWingSeries Wraith Squadron]] has an allergy to bacta, so any debilitating injuries have to be replaced with cybernetics. |
| 204 | * In the late 1980s, there was an adventure series called ''Literature/{{Steele}}'', whose lead, SWAT cop Donovan Steele, was rebuilt into a cyborg with a bit of a twist on the concept: he looked normal, but his damaged brain had been replaced with an [[WetwareBody artificially intelligent computer]] programmed to THINK of itself as Don Steele. Half his memories weren't even his -- programmers patched in some of their own to fill gaps in the upload. He angsted a good bit about his humanity when he wasn't slaughtering bad guys. |
| 205 | * Creator/MichaelMoorcock, possibly prompted by parodic references to his works by people like Creator/TerryPratchett, wrote a deliberate self-parody acknowledging that things like Literature/TheElricSaga might have gone a teeny-weeny bit [[ExaggeratedTrope over the top]], called ''The Stone Thing; A Man of Many Parts''. in which a typical Moorcock hero admits to a woman he is wooing that life has taken its toll somewhat and practically every part of his body has, at one time or another, been replaced by a prosthetic. the deal-breaker, for the lady involved, is [[TheReveal The Stone Thing]] of the title... [[note]]Most incarnations of The Eternal Warrior in Moorcock's opus have had at least one physical component severed and replaced[[/note]] |
| 206 | * The central conceit of ''Who?'' by Creator/AlgisBudrys. Except, it's an American scientist, who is rebuilt by DirtyCommunists, which makes the Americans very suspicious when he returns. |
| 207 | [[/folder]] |
| 208 | |
| 209 | [[folder:Live-Action TV]] |
| 210 | * ''Series/TheBionicWoman'', being a spin-off of ''The Six Million Dollar Man'', follows on with the same concept. Professional tennis player Jaime Sommers becomes critically injured during a skydiving accident and her life is saved by Oscar Goldman and Dr. Rudy Wells with bionic surgical implants similar to those of Steve Austin. As does the 2007 remake, ''Series/BionicWoman''. |
| 211 | * After his return from the dead in ''Series/TheBrittasEmpire'', Brittas had to undergo extensive surgery. Although outwardly, he looks no different, he's stated to have a bionic butt, no belly-button, and has enough metal parts within him that it wound up delaying his trip through a metal detector. He's also stated to be much stronger, gaining a CrushingHandshake and at one point lifting Linda up into the air with ease. |
| 212 | * On ''Series/TheElectricCompany1971'', The Six Dollar and Thirty-Nine Cent Man sketches began with a near shot-for-shot recreation of the opening of ''The Six Million Dollar Man'' (except Steve Awesome falls off a skateboard), including the phrase "We can rebuild him — we have permission"... in the dulcet tones of Creator/MorganFreeman, no less! |
| 213 | * In ''Series/EmeraldCity'', after [[spoiler:Jack's]] horrible fall at the end of [[Recap/EmeraldCityS1E3MistressNewMistress "Mistress - New - Mistress"]], a woman named Jane finds and heals him, [[spoiler:replacing a large portion of damaged body with metal prosthetic]] in [[Recap/EmeraldCityS1E4ScienceAndMagic "Science and Magic"]]. |
| 214 | * A non-cybernetic example happens to Ser Gregor Clegane in ''Series/GameOfThrones''. Though victorious in his duel with Oberyn Martell, he was incapacitated by the manticore venom which tipped Oberyn's spear, and only an unknown process performed by Qyburn was able to save him. The process has left Gregor with bluish pale skin and red eyes, but has not diminished his strength or deadliness; in fact, it seems to have enhanced it. When his face is finally shown in the finale of Season 6, we see it is stuck in a listless expression and a lot of it is ''still rotting off''. His VaderBreath, FrankensteinsMonster-like demeanor and concealing armor basically make him a medieval fantasy version of the trope. |
| 215 | * ''Series/TheGoodies'': In "War Babies", Tim, Bill and Graeme parachute into Germany, and Graeme and Bill successfully land. However, Bill misses catching Tim, who is all broken up as a result. Graeme puts all of Tim's 'spare parts' into a pram, and then asks Bill for Tim's head (which is still in its bonnet) — however, Bill accidentally brings back a cabbage, much to Graeme's disgust. After further searching, Tim's head is found and Graeme then 'operates' on him — giving Tim a clock for a heart, and a toy voicebox and a wind-up key to make Tim move, thereby turning Tim into the "Six Million Dollar Baby". |
| 216 | * In ''Franchise/KamenRider,'' most of the 90s-and-before Riders were physically altered in some way to become Riders, though few in response to otherwise-unrecoverable injury or illness. ''Film/KamenRiderJ'' was one of those cases, infused with "J Power" after being tossed off a cliff by bad guys. (This is a rare case of the transformation being benign: the rebuilding is usually done by ''bad guys'' wanting to use the Riders as a trump card. For some reason, upgrading always comes before brainwashing, and the Rider-to-be ''always'' escapes brainwashing. (When will [[NebulousEvilOrganisation Shocker]] learn?) |
| 217 | %% * Jack Moon in ''Series/MadanSenkiRyukendo'' is brought back as Mechanimoon. |
| 218 | * The {{Trope Namer|s}} is ''Series/TheSixMillionDollarMan'', where Steve Austin is rebuilt and given cybernetic implants to become the eponymous hero after a crash. In {{Homage}}, quite a few of the other references on this page use some variant of the line. |
| 219 | -->"Steve Austin, astronaut. A man barely alive. Gentlemen, we can rebuild him. We have the technology. We have the capability to make the world's first bionic man. Steve Austin will be that man. Better than he was before. Better. Stronger. Faster." |
| 220 | * ''Series/StargateAtlantis'': Repli-Weir, but her body was built from [[WhyAmITicking Fran's]] plans, so it's also a TheNthDoctor situation. You know, [[WhatMeasureIsANonHuman before they]] killed her. |
| 221 | * Subverted in ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'' with Jean-Luc Picard, who was stabbed through the heart as a Starfleet cadet and received an artificial one as a replacement. While this event helped to make him a formidable officer, his newfound strengths came from the psychological impact of his close brush with death, not from his cardiac implant. |
| 222 | ** In fact there were a few occasions where his artificial heart was shown to be a physical weakness, despite the miracles of 24th century Treknology – like when it developed a fault and needed replacing, or the time his artificial heart was fused by an energy weapon blast to the chest, both of which almost proved fatal. |
| 223 | * Inverted in ''Series/StarTrekVoyager'' with Seven of Nine who's turned from a Borg drone into a human with a few Borg components...which miraculously enable her to [[DoAnythingRobot do everything (and more) that a Borg drone can do]]. |
| 224 | * Buredoran gets rebuilt into Buredo-RUN in ''Series/TensouSentaiGoseiger''. The same goes for his counterpart Vrak (without a name alteration) in ''Series/PowerRangersMegaforce''. |
| 225 | * Zig-zagged in ''Series/TerminatorTheSarahConnorChronicles'' with Cromartie and John Henry. First, Cromartie goes through a lengthy process to repair himself. Then, without the CPU, he becomes John Henry. The tech finds out that the AI requires identical software and hardware to be restored. |
| 226 | * Spoofed in ''Series/That70sShow''. In one of Fez's many [[ImagineSpot Imagine Spots]], he contemplates what it will be like to have Hyde, Eric, and Kelso teach him how to get girls. |
| 227 | -->'''Hyde:''' Gentlemen...we can rebuild him. We have the technology. We can make him smarter, handsomer, aloofer. |
| 228 | -->'''Eric:''' Aloofer? Is that even a word? |
| 229 | -->'''Hyde:''' We can ''make'' it a word. We have the technology. |
| 230 | * In ''Series/UltraSeven'', when the Ghose aliens' monster Pandon gets AnArmAndALeg chopped off by Ultraseven, they rebuild the creature's missing limbs and send it back out to battle Seven under the name Reconstructed Pandon. |
| 231 | * The trope was lampooned on ''Series/WonderShowzen'' in the episode "Time", where an animated skit had a police officer reduced by an explosion to nothing but a small pile of bloody flesh and the chief trying to save his life by having a doctor rebuild him as a cyborg. Due to a misunderstanding, the doctor instead rebuilds a homeless alcoholic who was injured in the same accident. The result is Winobot, who is too obsessed with wine to be an effective crime-fighter, to the extent that the police chief has to convince Winobot that the criminals he has to stop are blocking the delivery of wine to get him to go after them and the criminals are able to trick Winobot into turning on the chief by convincing him that his boss plans to make wine illegal. |

| 234 | [[folder:Music]] |
| 235 | * "Robot Man" by [[Music/ScorpionsBand Scorpions]] is about someone struggling with this situation. |
| 236 | * The [[LyricsVideoMismatch music video]] for "The Wind" by Music/ZacBrownBand, has a redneck get blown up when his ATV accidentally crashes into a moonshine still. His friends then rebuild him with their power tools. He's surprising well built, capable of handling several instruments in quick sucession with only a hydraulic tube coming undone and even WilliamTelling a spinning target while blind folded. |
| 237 | [[/folder]] |
| 238 | |
| 239 | [[folder:Professional Wrestling]] |
| 240 | * Sentai Jin, a rebuilt astrophysicist in Wrestling/KaijuBigBattel. Unfortunately, they couldn't rebuild him ''again'' after his lab exploded. This is also the origin of both Atomic Trooper Robo and Shadow Trooper Robo, who were rebuilt into super-cyborgs by the mysterious organization Robo Dynamics after (respectively) a failed BMX stunt and a drag racing accident left them near-death. |
| 241 | * Although he didn't become a cyborg, this was used in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b6PcALI682c the promo]] for Wrestling/TripleH's return from injury at Wrestling/SummerSlam 2007. |
| 242 | * [[invoked]] One of Wrestling/StoneColdSteveAustin's {{Red Baron}}s is "The Bionic Redneck" due to sharing his name with the Six Million Dollar Man. |
| 243 | [[/folder]] |
| 244 | |
| 245 | [[folder:Roleplay]] |
| 246 | * Some characters in ''Roleplay/EmbersInTheDusk'' had to get their body parts replaced with augments after injuries. Fredrick Rotbart had his left arm, leg and a big part of his chest replaced with artificial ones. General Schwarz has lost most of his body, and became {{Cyborg}} more machine than man. Lieutenant-General Viktor Mineyev, a particularly (un)lucky DeathSeeker has barely any organic tissue remaining. |
| 247 | [[/folder]] |
| 248 | |
| 249 | [[folder:Tabletop Games]] |
| 250 | * ''TabletopGame/BattleTech'' has prosthetics in-universe, and since medical cloning technology is either prohibitively expensive (for limbs and some organs) or impossible to get right in a safe manner (for critical things like hearts, lungs, and anything involving the nervous system), a lot of characters both heroic and villainous have are described with cybernetics. In the game, this has little impact at the tactical level of ''Battletech'' but it does feature more heavily in ''Mechwarrior'', where the loss of a limb, eye, or ear is a very real possibility for a player. A critically wounded character with irreparable damage to all their body parts can come back with four new cyborg limbs that are just as functional as their old ones, a pair of cyber-eyes and functional replacement ears, and artificial muscle grafts just to top it all off. Even with all that, there is no '[[CyberneticsEatYourSoul cyberpsycho]]' effect in ''Battletech'', so characters can be remade into a cyborg worth more than some Battlemechs and be unchanged personality-wise. Anything beyond basic replacement is heavily stigmatized, though, thanks to the Word of Blake cult, who built cybernetic super-soldiers and unleashed them on the Inner Sphere. |
| 251 | %% * This is the backstory of the androids in ''TabletopGame/BleakWorld''. Why they chose teenagers to be the ones to rebuild, however, is lost on most of the fandom. |
| 252 | * The 5th Edition of ''TabletopGame/BloodBowl'' introduces the(In)Famous Coaching Staff character Krot Shockwhisker. Krot is a [[RatMen Skaven]] Engineer who excels in combining flesh with [[{{Magitek}} his race's technology]] and hires out his services to Blood Bowl teams to finance his experiments. During a game, Krot can attempt to fix a seriously injured player so that they can take to the field once more. Given the nature of Skaven technology, however, there are often complications. |
| 253 | * [[PsychoForHire Adam Smasher]] of ''TabletopGame/{{Cyberpunk}}'' was once just a typical thug for hire who was reduced to a bloody pulp after getting hit by an RPG. As he's laying on the operating table, he was approached by representatives from the [[EvilInc Arasaka Corporation]] who offered to give him a full body cybernetic conversion or to simply let him die. Thus, he went from just yet another mercenary to Arasaka's most infamous hatchetman and [[TheDreaded the boogeyman of Night City]]. |
| 254 | * ''TabletopGame/DeviantTheRenegades'': Were you subjected to being rebuilt with dodgy technology while unable to give informed consent due to a horrific injury? Congrats! You're now an Invasive Exomorph, assuming you survived the procedure in the first place. Though it doesn't have to be technology...the conspiracy that created you might have turned to magical rituals or alchemical concoctions to rebuild you. Of course, that's assuming you were only Mostly Dead at the time...if you were all dead and pieced back together with bits of other corpses or a bunch of inanimate objects, that's [[TabletopGame/PrometheanTheCreated a different game entirely]]... |
| 255 | * Many fantasy games (particularly [[TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons D&D]]) have necromancy provide the same effect, with villains and heroes coming back faster, stronger and deader, only the answer to the humanity question is a rather obvious No. A more traditional example might be the Half-Golem template, which has people repaired with magically powered mechanical parts. Eventually, they go nuts because CyberneticsEatYourSoul. |
| 256 | * In ''TabletopGame/{{Gorkamorka}}'', the special character known only as Da Krusha suffered from an accident at some point in the past that left him on the verge of death. For unknown reasons, the Mekboyz of Mektown felt obliged to rebuild him with the most advanced bionics replacements available and continue to maintain and upgrade him generations later. |
| 257 | * ''TabletopGame/{{Mordheim}}'' has Veskit, the high executioner of Clan Eshin, who would have died from the terrible wounds he sustained while rescuing a Clan Skryre Warlock Engineer had the scientist-sorcerers not rebuilt him with their {{Magitek}}. Veskit is now more machine than Skaven, an emotionless and uncontrollable killing machine that Clan Eshin have sent to strengthen their forces in the City of the Damned. |
| 258 | * Most sci-fi games feature {{Transhuman}} cybertech of some stripe, but there's usually some limiting factor as to the degree to which one can be rebuilt, often meant to curb {{Munchkin}}ism. However, ''TabletopGame/{{Shadowrun}}'' goes whole hog with cyberzombies. Apparently, Aztechnology ''can'' completely rebuild a person... but he'll live a miserable shell of an existence and likely be dead within a year. To do it, you have to take someone, [[CyberneticsEatYourSoul shove enough cybernetic implants into them to kill them]], then use BlackMagic to bring them back to life, ''then'' stuff them with enough drugs to make them temporarily forget that they're supposed to be dead. And they'll probably still go psychotic or catatonic within six to twelve months. |
| 259 | %% * ''TabletopGame/SpiritOfSeventySeven'': The X-Tech role gives the character cybernetic enhancements to use. Since the game is set in TheSeventies, it's in the vein of ''The Six Million Dollar Man'' and ''The Bionic Woman''. |
| 260 | * ''TabletopGame/Warhammer40000:'' |
| 261 | ** After he was left for dead by a group of former patients out for revenge, Mad Dok Grotsnik’s Gretchin assistants attempted to save his life with emergency surgery and extensive bionic replacements. Unfortunately, the Gretchin had more enthusiasm than skill and although Grotsnik’s life was saved by the surgery, his already shaky grasp on sanity was lost altogether and he is now utterly, absolutely, and completely mad. |
| 262 | ** Dreadnoughts are the ultimate expression of this trope in the ''Warhammer 40,000'' universe. A Space Marine who has been mortally wounded is fitted with advanced neural interfaces and hardwired into a MiniMecha so that they can continue to fight for the Imperium. |
| 263 | [[/folder]] |
| 264 | |
| 265 | [[folder:Toys]] |
| 266 | * [[spoiler:Gaardus]] from ''Toys/{{Bionicle}}'' was rebuilt by a bunch of rogue engineers ForScience. Although he was already a cyborg and didn't directly suffer from CyberneticsEatYourSoul, he was upset enough to [[IHateYouVampireDad murder those responsible for his transformation]] and become an outcast. |
| 267 | %% * Presumably the case with the [[https://www.lego.com/en-us/minifigures/characters/cyborg-40bdc0bf4a5948caa91d911cbbc330ef Cyborg]] character from Lego. |
| 268 | * This also turned out to be a popular method of justifying new versions of Franchise/{{Transformers}} characters to sell more toys. Since they're already robots to begin with, it usually works out fine. In fact, it's not unusual for Transformers to go through this several times over the course of their lives. |
| 269 | [[/folder]] |
| 270 | |
| 271 | [[folder:Video Games]] |
| 272 | * This actually happens to the Player Character in ''VideoGame/ArmoredCore 1'' and ''2''. A little known secret is that if you keep dying, the game "lowers the difficulty" by giving you cyborg upgrades that improve your HumongousMecha. It even has a funny/morbid little cutscene with the evil AI and a doctor discussing it. |
| 273 | * Blackburn of ''VideoGame/AtlasReactor'' was killed by diving on a grenade but recovered by Warbiotics and rebuilt. It's unknown exactly ''how'' much of his body is organic; an alternate skin suggests [[BrainUploading it may only be his mind]]. [[ShellShockedVeteran It's also implied Blackburn is less than happy about his current state of affairs]]. |
| 274 | * Gruntilda in ''VideoGame/BanjoKazooieGruntysRevenge'', although instead of being revived as a cyborg, she transfers her soul to a robotic body while she is trapped below a rock. |
| 275 | * Happens to the player at the start of the campaign in ''VideoGame/CallOfDutyBlackOpsIII'' after a GIU robot owned by Ethiopian terrorists tears off [[AnArmAndALeg both their arms and a leg]] while breaking the other. [[spoiler:It ends up kickstarting the events of the game, as the [[FreezeFrameBonus pre-mission text]] reveals that the player actually ''dies'' while on the operating table, meaning most of the game is a DyingDream also revealed in the rest of the game's texts to have been partially built off Taylor's memories.]] |
| 276 | * Your death by AsteroidThicket sets off the events of ''VideoGame/CyborgJustice'', resulting in a fatal crash-landing on a planet run by cyborgs. Said cyborgs take your body into a conversion bay and rebuild you as a cyborg (organic brain and core parts/organs, almost fully metallic exterior and limbs), allowing you to live again after a fashion... not out of the goodness of their implied hearts, but so they can wipe your memories and turn you into a work drone in service to the cyborgs' HiveMind. |
| 277 | * In ''VisualNovel/{{Danganronpa 2|Goodbye Despair}}'', this happens to [[spoiler:Nekomaru when he tries to protect Akane in the third chapter]]. He gets a full robotic body which Monokuma insists was 'absolutely necessary' to save his life. |
| 278 | * Adam Jensen in ''Videogame/DeusExHumanRevolution'' is severely injured in the game's prologue. His employer Sarif Industries takes advantage of a clause in the employment contract Adam signed to heavily augment him without his explicit verbal permission. Sarif Industries spares no expense in the process and fits Adam with the latest in augmentation advances. This even includes augmentation that isn't officially on the market yet, such as Sarif Industries' prototype explosive device, the Typhoon. |
| 279 | -->''"I never asked for this."'' |
| 280 | * In ''VideoGame/{{Evolve}}'', Torvald underwent this in order to survive a monster attack. While it cost him most of his body, he got a jetpack, personal forcefield generator, and in-built mortar cannons out of it. |
| 281 | * Implied of [[HumongousMecha Liberty Prime]] in ''VideoGame/Fallout3'', who gets {{Kill Sat}}ted and blown to smithereens during the first quest of ''Broken Steel''; his remains are returned to the Citadel, where you can donate spare parts for cash, although he never actually gets rebuilt in the game. A more traditional example is Star Paladin Cross, who was rebuilt into a cyborg by Scribe Rothchild following critical injuries while defending Elder Lyons. As of ''VideoGame/Fallout4'', [[spoiler:Liberty Prime]] is back and is the trump card of the Brotherhood's military forces after the fall of [[spoiler:The Enclave]]. Elder Maxson makes sure his ace in the hole is used when the Brotherhood '''really''' needs heavy firepower. |
| 282 | * [[BigBad Driscoll]] at the end of ''VideoGame/FrontMission1.'' In your (presumably) final confrontation, he is trapped in his destroyed Wanzer as it explodes around him. Most other pilots [[ArmoredCoffins don't survive if their Wanzer goes down]], but Driscoll is pulled from the wreckage and rebuilt as a sort of sentient intelligence core of the game's ''actual'' final boss. Lore-wise, if you play the GaidenGame, it turns out he was HoistByHisOwnPetard (he'd planned to use this process to turn someone else into an intelligence core he could control, not ''become'' one). |
| 283 | * ''VideoGame/HenryStickminSeries'': In ''Completing the Mission'', following the routes where the Right Hand Man is defeated by Henry, he comes back this way, with half of his face, one of his arms, and both of his legs being turned into metal. He is shown to be extremely powerful in this form, too, with such power-ups as jet boosters and EyeBeams. Henry himself gets the same treatment at the beginning of the Revenged storyline. |
| 284 | * The postgame plot of ''VideoGame/HyruleWarriorsAgeOfCalamity'' revolves around [[spoiler:hunting down enough parts to rebuild [[RobotBuddy Terrako]] following its HeroicSacrifice, after which they come back as a fully playable character.]] |
| 285 | %% * Cybernetic surgery is a common practice in ''Videogame/IMissTheSunrise''. |
| 286 | * Near the end of ''[[VideoGame/JakIIRenegade Jak II]]'', [[TheRival Erol]] ended up crashing into several barrels of Dark Eco while attempting to run down [[TheHero Jak]] out of anger for losing [[LoveTriangle Keira]] and [[SecondPlaceIsForLosers the big race]]. He's reconstructed into a cyborg by the Krimzon Guards, and reemerges as "Cyber Errol" in ''VideoGame/Jak3'', with only half of his face and one of his hands intact. And since he got exposed to Dark Eco in the accident, [[CameBackStrong Erol ended up]] an insane SatanicArchetype who sided with [[FallenAngel the Dark Makers]]. |
| 287 | * Omega Rugal in ''VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters 95''. He actually wound up destroying himself ''again'' with the use of the [[DeadlyUpgrade Orochi power.]] |
| 288 | * ''VideoGame/LeagueOfLegends'': |
| 289 | ** In his old lore, Urgot was a battle-scarred Noxian warrior who "refused to die". When he finally died, he was rebuilt as a cybernetic crab creature with a grenade launcher arm. His current lore is less straight of an example, as after being betrayed and sent to a Zaunite prison, he turned himself into a cyborg with spider legs as part of his newfound philosophy of discarding weakness. |
| 290 | ** While her original lore depicted her as a ReplacementGoldfish for a Piltovan scientist's dead daughter, Orianna in her current lore is a straight example as she is the original, rather than a robotic duplicate, who gradually turned herself into a robot to save her life after being exposed to the toxic fumes that cloud the area between Piltover and Zaun. |
| 291 | ** A similar case to Orianna is is implied to occur with Viktor. While in his previous lore he turned himself into a cyborg as part of his "Glorious Evolution", the animated series ''WesternAnimation/{{Arcane}}'' reveals that Viktor was a GeniusCripple his entire life and by the time of Act II he is dying from his prior exposure to the same toxic fumes. This implies that Viktor turned himself (or was turned into) the cybernetic being he is today to save his (own) life. |
| 292 | * ''VideoGame/{{Marathon}}'' brings up this trope with its Mark IV Mjolnir combat cyborgs. [[spoiler:There is even a strong implication that your character himself is a robocopped dead soldier.]] |
| 293 | * In ''VideoGame/MassEffect2'', to avoid the GameplayGuidedAmnesia, the game starts with the Normandy getting shot to pieces and Commander Shepard being hurled into space in a leaking space suit and falling all the way to the surface of the nearby planet. Cerberus retrieved the charred and broken remains and spend two years and billions of credits to bring Shepard's body back to life, including most of the memories. Cue Shepard's reply to bewildered onlookers, "I Got Better." |
| 294 | * ''VideoGame/MegaManX'': |
| 295 | ** Averted but later subverted. When [[EnsembleDarkhorse Zero]] dies at the end of the first game, the Maverick Hunters try their best in rebuilding him, but Zero's designs are too complicated to duplicate. In the second game, however, he was indeed rebuilt, but by the ''villains''. [[spoiler:This situation, however, only happens in the non-canon ending; the true ending has X obtain Zero's parts (which are implied to be created by the villains nonetheless), and the Hunters use them to truly revive Zero.]] |
| 296 | ** This sort of subversion happens again later, in ''VideoGame/MegaManX6'', where Zero reappears once again BackFromTheDead, but there's absolutely no idea as to who actually rebuilt him this time. |
| 297 | ** And rebuilt one last time into an even more powerful body by [[VideoGame/MegaManZero Ciel.]] |
| 298 | * ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid'': |
| 299 | ** Raiden returns as a cyborg in ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid4GunsOfThePatriots''. And he's ''[[TookALevelInBadass awesome.]]'' It's also one of The Patriots' atrocities: he didn't need rebuilding. But after the prologue of ''VideoGame/MetalGearRisingRevengeance'' he really could use an upgrade. |
| 300 | ** Before Raiden, there was... Cyborg Ninja, a.k.a. [[spoiler:Gray Fox]]. |
| 301 | *** And before even the Cyborg Ninja, there was [[spoiler:Schneider]] in ''VideoGame/MetalGear2SolidSnake''. |
| 302 | ** Big Boss in ''VideoGame/SnakesRevenge''. But we don't talk about that. He's a cyborg in official ''VideoGame/MetalGear2SolidSnake'' as well, although this fact only comes up at the end (and is explained as being the end result of having been tortured and mutilated prior to becoming your CO in the first game). The process of transforming Big Boss with prostheses is finally depicted in ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolidVThePhantomPain''. [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]] in that [[spoiler:Venom Snake (the one with the prosthetic arm) was in fact a BodyDouble for Big Boss (he is the Big Boss that Snake fights in the original ''VideoGame/MetalGear''), and the real Big Boss survived his injuries in ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolidVThePhantomPain'' relatively unscathed]]. Potential DoubleSubversion in [[spoiler:''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid4GunsOfThePatriots'' when Big Boss shows up in the ending, as he had to borrow body parts from Liquid and Solidus (his clone-sons) to survive after the injuries he sustained in ''2'', only to die shortly afterward due to having the Foxdie virus]]. |
| 303 | * Following his defeat at the hands of Samus in the original ''VideoGame/Metroid1''[=/=]''VideoGame/MetroidZeroMission'' Ridley was rebuilt as a cyborg in ''VideoGame/MetroidPrime.'' You see him again in ''VideoGame/MetroidPrime3Corruption'' still sporting cyborg parts. |
| 304 | ** The space pirate Weavel, as seen in ''VideoGame/MetroidPrimeHunters'', was seriously injured following Samus' assault on Zebes during the events of ''VideoGame/Metroid1''[=/=]''VideoGame/MetroidZeroMission''. His brin and spinal column, the only undamaged parts of his original body, were fused with a new cyborg suit. |
| 305 | * ''VideoGame/{{MOTHER 3}}'': |
| 306 | ** Yokuba/Fassad ends up falling off the Thunder Tower as a result of his own stupidity, but returns as a cyborg not much later. He loses his ability to speak, instead communicating through music which requires an interpreter, and is now combat-capable enough to pick fights with the party on his own [[spoiler:[[IAmNotLeftHanded though it turns out he would've been a threat even without his enhancements]]]]. |
| 307 | ** [[spoiler:It also turns out that the Masked Man is a brainwashed, reconstructed Claus, who was found by the Pigmask army after his failed attempt to get revenge on the Mecha-Drago, then used by the BigBad as the commander of the army and as a tool to pull [[MacGuffin the needles]].]] |
| 308 | ** [[spoiler:Taking a peek at the game's reveal some [[DummiedOut unused sprites]] of The Masked Man apparently being [[http://mother3.fobby.net/unused/crazyclaus.gif blown up, carried away, and rebuilt.]] At some point in the game, it appears this was intended to happen to him ''twice''.]] |
| 309 | * In the original ''VideoGame/NoMoreHeroes'', Travis kills Destroyman by vertically cutting him in half. As one of only many examples as to why the series is considered awesome, he returns in the sequel, with ''[[DualBoss both halves rebuilt into separate cyborgs.]]'' |
| 310 | * Genji of ''VideoGame/{{Overwatch}}'' was almost killed by his brother Hanzo, but Overwatch found him and rebuilt him as a CyberNinja. The amount of his body that was left organic is unclear, but he still has his real head, torso (including reproductive organs) and left arm, at the very least. |
| 311 | * The Mythical Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Genesect was once part of a species of insectoid apex predators that lived during the Paleozoic era, but in the process of [[FossilRevival resurrecting it]], Team Plasma turned it into a cyborg and gave it a BackpackCannon in an attempt to create the UltimateLifeForm. It's unclear how much of it is even organic anymore since its entire body is metal and we never saw what it looked like originally. |
| 312 | * A central theme of ''VideoGame/{{POPGOES}}''. Namely, Fritz wants to build bodies for [[spoiler:his daughter whom he accidentally murdered, as well as his serial killer brother Simon]] presumably so [[spoiler:their souls can possess it]]. |
| 313 | * Amber from ''VideoGame/ProjectEden'' was turned into a combat Cyborg after a skyway accident, apparently at her request. |
| 314 | * Soldier Nathan Frost was badly injured in the opening of ''VideoGame/ProjectSnowblind'', and rebuilt using the latest in cybernetic technology, gaining the ability to use "Augmentations." |
| 315 | * In ''VideoGame/{{Robopon}}'', Dr. Zero did this to himself. After defeating Prince Tail's father, the King attacked him and left him for dead. Zero repaired his original body with cybernetics. |
| 316 | * The hero of ''VideoGame/{{Shatterhand}}'' loses his hands against the bad guys, and his new fits allow him to take them on. |
| 317 | * ''{{VideoGame/Skullgirls}}'': |
| 318 | ** Peacock was a normal girl who was kidnapped by slavers that mutilated her body.[[note]][[BodyHorror Eyes gouged, teeth pulled out, arms and legs chopped off.]][[/note]] She was found after her torture by staff from the shadowy [[MadScientistLaboratory Anti-Skullgirl Lab]], who equipped her with a shiny new set of cyborg parts: mechanical arms with three eyes on each, a bear trap for teeth, and a veritable cornucopia of reality-warping instruments of destruction. Unfortunately, the torture [[BreakTheCutie drove her mad]], and being rebuilt [[AxCrazy failed to stabilize her mind]]. |
| 319 | ** Ben Birdland was a cop who ran afoul of his crooked unit, ending up in an iron lung as a result. He accepted the Anti-Skullgirl Lab's offer to rebuild him as Big Band, and they made good by integrating a breathing apparatus and an array of pneumatic musical weapons into his body. |
| 320 | ** It's implied that most, if not all, of the cyborgs in the Anti-Skullgirl Lab 8 (such as Big Band and Peacock above) were people who suffered horrible injuries and were subsequently rebuilt by the Lab. WordOfGod states that even the cyborg children in Lab 8 are disabled orphans who would have been unable to survive without their assistance. Lab 0, however, is not so ethical--Painwheel was originally a normal, healthy girl who was kidnapped and experimented on against her will. |
| 321 | %% * This might be the case for Yoshimitsu from ''VideoGame/SoulCalibur''. |
| 322 | * ''Franchise/StarCraft'': |
| 323 | ** According to the backstory, this is the source of all the Protoss Dragoons. Most notable is [[MeaningfulName Fenix]], who you get to control both before and after gets almost killed. |
| 324 | ** Then there are the Immortals of ''VideoGame/StarCraftII'', Dragoons on steroids. Due to desperation and the loss of the old Dragoon shrines on Aiur, the Protoss had to refit the ones they had with hardened energy shields to squeeze every iota of use out of them. They represent a dying breed who will give ''everything'' to buy even a ''second'' more for their people. The ''definition'' of {{Determinator}}s. |
| 325 | %% * The Star Wolf team in ''VideoGame/StarFox64'', if you enter Venom the hard way from Area-6, though Wolf avoids this fate. |
| 326 | %% ** Oddly enough, while the hard ending is canon, Star Wolf returns pretty much unaffected in ''Assault'', although Wolf trades his eyepatch for something more high-tech. It's also perfectly possible to avoid the first encounter with Star Wolf and they still show up like this on Venom. |
| 327 | * Charlie Nash (whose canon ending in ''VideoGame/StreetFighterAlpha 2'' has him being betrayed by a fellow soldier and falling into a South American waterfall) seems to be heavily rebuilt using patches of skin from another source in ''VideoGame/StreetFighterV''. His body is covered in several stitches and the grafted flesh is differently colored from the rest of him (considerably darker). He also has a PowerCrystal embedded on his forehead as well. |
| 328 | %% * [[BigBad Mr. X]] in ''VideoGame/StreetsOfRage 3''. |
| 329 | * Hugo Medio from ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsMX'' has this in his backstory, where an attack by a powerful enemy (the Jetzt in [[VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsOriginalGeneration OG Gaiden]], or the [[Anime/MobileFighterGGundam Devil Gundam]] in MX, the latter uses the zombified version of his old friend Foglia) left him very gravely wounded, and the only way to save him was to add cybernetic parts to his body. |
| 330 | * All the Mechanical Bosses in ''VideoGame/{{Terraria}}'' are improved robotic versions of the older bosses[[labelnote:list]]Eye of Cthulhu → The Twins; Skeletron → Skeletron Prime; Eater of Worlds → The Destroyer[[/note]]. Which leads one to believe that ''[[FridgeHorror something]]'' [[FridgeHorror had rebuilt them for a reason]]. |
| 331 | %% * Bryan Fury from ''Videogame/{{Tekken}}'' |
| 332 | * In the ''VideoGame/TimeCrisis'' series, Wild Dog gets shot to pieces at the end of ''every'' game. The first time he returned as a cyborg it was a surprise twist (for a given value of "surprising"), now it's just what he does. |
| 333 | * This is the explanation for [[spoiler:Megatron's new body]] in ''Videogame/TransformersFallOfCybertron''; [[spoiler:he starts the game in the same body as in ''War for Cybertron'', then gets pulverized by [[HumongousMecha Metroplex]] and rebuilt by Soundwave into a similar but different body]]. |
| 334 | * In the prologue to ''VideoGame/TooHuman'', a CyberPunk adaptation of Myth/NorseMythology, Baldr is resurrected by Aesir cybernetics technology. It's implied to happen again and again and again every time the player dies and the cutscene where a Valkyrie teleports in to carry him off to Valhalla shows. There are also plot-relevant cutscenes where your support troops who die are carried off as well and in the last area they are joined by the setting's version of Einherjar, nine-foot-tall armored cyborgs with {{Arm Cannon}}s. |
| 335 | * In the ''VisualNovel/VeraBlanc'' games by indie developer Winter Wolves, the eponymous teenage heroine was saved from a fatal brain tumor with an experimental procedure that not only re-wired her brain to work more efficiently but gives her the ability to [[{{Telepathy}} read minds]]. |
| 336 | * ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'' has a magic example for Kael'Thas. After his first defeat, he was brought back to life by a demon, apparently by shoving a crystal through his chest. |
| 337 | * Available as an option in ''VideoGame/XCOMEnemyWithin''. A soldier who gets critically wounded can be out of commission for up to a month, or even longer with the [[VideoGame/XComLongWar Long War mod]]. Converting a soldier into a [[{{Cyborg}} MEC Trooper]], however, takes 3 days, although ItOnlyWorksOnce -- an injured MEC Trooper needs full heal time, with no shortcuts. |
| 338 | * In ''VideoGame/{{Xenosaga}}'', "Ziggy" is a Ziggurat-8 model cyborg, thus rebuilt after the suicide of policeman Jan Sauer. He [[WhoWantsToLiveForever isn't too happy about it]] until he finds a new purpose. |
| 339 | [[/folder]] |
| 340 | |
| 341 | |
| 342 | [[folder:Webcomics]] |
| 343 | %% * [[spoiler:Frans Rayner]] from ''Webcomic/TheAdventuresOfDrMcNinja''. |
| 344 | * In ''Webcomic/{{Crankrats}}'', the eponymous [[BloodKnight crankrats]] were originally soldiers who had been fatally wounded before being augmented with {{steampunk}} [[AppliedPhlebotinum machinery]]. [[GoneHorriblyRight Unfortunately]], WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity. |
| 345 | * ''Webcomic/DresdenCodak'': During Hob, happens offscreen to Kimiko, [[spoiler:then she gets ripped apart, and rebuilt ''again'']]. She's had her ArtificialLimbs ever since, despite the comic's ambiguous continuity. |
| 346 | * How Amazingman in ''Webcomic/EvilPlan'' survives falling off of a water tower and being paralyzed. Along with the fancy robotic spine came an impossible to pay off hospital bill and a mandate that he must continue superhero work until he [[WorkOffTheDebt pays it off]]. |
| 347 | * In one one-page comic from ''Webcomic/{{Freefall}}'', Helix is kidnapped, and his kidnappers mail Sam and Florence Helix's body parts, forgetting that Helix, being a robot, can be reassembled. Even ''Sam'' says that these guys aren't criminal masterminds. |
| 348 | * ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'': |
| 349 | ** The bunny was quite injured by around twenty-five years of service, until it was patched-up by Rose. [[spoiler:And thirteen additional years later rebuild by Jade...]] [[color:white:as a cyborg!]] |
| 350 | ** Later, [[AuthorAvatar Andrew Hussie]] does this for [[spoiler:Spades Slick]] after saving him from his [[spoiler:dying universe]]. |
| 351 | ** After Damara rendered Rufioh quadriplegic, Horuss made him a robotic replacement body. Unfortunately for Rufioh, Horuss allowed his... [[BestialityIsDepraved preferences]] to influence the new body, leaving Rufioh with his head sticking out of the neck of a robotic horse. The main version of Rufioh used his Dreamself to escape this fate, but at least one alternate timeline version of him is still stuck that way. |
| 352 | %% * Done to a raccoon in ''Webcomic/TheIntrepidGirlbot''. |
| 353 | * In ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick'' Start Of Darkness Prequel, Xykon's transformation from forcibly de-powered old man to Lich Sorcerer was described in this fashion, parodying the {{opening narration}} of ''Series/TheSixMillionDollarMan'': "Xykon, sorcerer. A man barely alive. Gentlemen, we can rebuild him. We have the magic. We have the magic to make the world's next undead sorcerer lich. Xykon will be that lich. Deader than he was before. Deader, faster, stronger." and so on. |
| 354 | * ''Webcomic/ProjectFuture'' has one character rebuilt as a cyborg, unfortunately after a shot in the head his remaining biological parts are destroyed. Fortunately his soul and mind are transferred into a purely mechanical body. |
| 355 | * Parodied in [[http://fc09.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2010/268/a/d/the_six_million_dollar_scout_by_brokenteapot-d2zg2rr.png this]] ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'' comic. A Scout steps on a bomb and his body is destroyed, and a group of Engineers gather saying they have the technology to rebuild him. The result is a bunch of spare parts put together and looking more like a barrel than a human. |

| 359 | * ''WebAnimation/{{Dreamscape}}'': Betty's lower-body was crushed by a pillar, so it had to be reconstructed, making her a {{Cyborg}}. |
| 360 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ggi6LNPIz6U "I Keep Upgradin'"]] is a song sung by Dr. Light about how he is constantly rebuilding [[VideoGame/MegaManClassic Mega Man]] after he dies in combat. |
| 361 | %% * [[spoiler:spoiler:Julia]] is rebuilt in ''WebAnimation/{{Ducktalez}} 7'' and plans on getting the Lucky Dime again. |
| 362 | * ''WebAnimation/RedVsBlue'' plays With this trope a bit. In this case, the person turned into a {{cyborg}} (Simmons) isn't actually the one who needed rebuilding; instead, he's rebuilt as a cyborg so his body parts can be used to save Grif after an unfortunate incident with a Warthog and the wall of a base. Why Grif wasn't the one to be made a cyborg is a testament to Sarge's determination to never let common sense get in the way of scientific progress. Though technically, he was already planning to make Simmons a cyborg (so he could fix the warthog), it just happened that it left a bunch of spare organs lying around. |
| 363 | * The first episode of Volume 7 of ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'' reveals that [[spoiler:Penny, who had been destroyed by an unwitting Pyrrha in the Vytal Tournament back in Volume 3, had been rebuilt by her creator]]. |
| 364 | * Psychotic assassin Deathlist of the Literature/WhateleyUniverse. He's been rebuilt so many times the only human part of him is his head. Supposedly, his first rebuild was after his parents stuffed him into a trash compactor, decades ago. |
| 365 | * In ''Literature/{{Worm}}'', when [[GadgeteerGenius Armsmaster]], having already lost an arm against Leviathan, is nearly killed by [[WasOnceAMan Mannequin]], his friend [[ArtificialIntelligence Dragon]] designs and implements cyborg technology to save his life on the spot. He later refines this even more to the point that he doesn't need to sleep and moves like a speedster, in addition to his powered armor. |

| 369 | * Zachary Foxx of the ''WesternAnimation/AdventuresOfTheGalaxyRangers'' is turned into a {{Cyborg}} with an ArmCannon after being injured in a space battle. |
| 370 | * In the ''WesternAnimation/AquaTeenHungerForce'' episode "Total Re-Carl", Meatwad declares they can rebuild him after Frylock's Super-Toilet prototype destroyed Carl's body (leaving him a severed head), though all he actually does is tie Carl's head to a tree with bungee cords and pretend Carl can actually talk. Frylock then takes the head with the intent of making a new body, but after several mishaps, Frylock just shoves Carl's head onto a remote-control toy truck and calls it a day (though technically, he ''did'' make a fully useable {{cyborg}} body for Carl, but [[DidntThinkThisThrough outfitted it with so much military hardware and weapons that if he gave it to Carl he would probably just kill them all with it]]). |
| 371 | * ''WesternAnimation/{{Archer}}'': |
| 372 | ** In the second season finale, the KGB turns [[spoiler:Barry]] into a bionic man to hunt down Archer and Katya. His introduction is a straight-up homage to the oft-quoted ''Series/TheSixMillionDollarMan'' opening. |
| 373 | ** Later, Krieger rebuilds Katya. After she [[spoiler:falls in love with]] Barry during his attempts to kill Archer during the second attempt to marry him and Katya, [[spoiler:she later becomes head of the KGB]]. |
| 374 | * In ''WesternAnimation/BionicSix'', Bionic One was able to keep his identity as a cyborg superhero secret from his family until an accident required him to "use the technology," if you will, to prevent them from dying. |
| 375 | * In the ''WesternAnimation/CodenameKidsNextDoor'' episode "Operation: H.O.S.P.I.T.A.L.", [[TeamPet the skunk Bradley]], aka Numbuh Six, was run over by a car while helping out Sector V and ended up in the hospital; Numbuh Two was able to use cybernetics rebuild him into [[BadassBoast "a half-skunk, half-Kids Next Door operative,]] [[TooManyHalves half-butt-kicking machine]] [[BadassBoast known as... R.O.B.O.B.R.A.D.L.E.Y.!"]] |
| 376 | * This happened to federal agent "[[MeaningfulName B.P. Vess]]" (AKA: Bulletproof) in the animated series ''WesternAnimation/COPS1988'' After a failed assassination attempt left him with devastating injuries, his life was saved through an experimental process that gave him [[{{Cyborg}} cybernetic armor]]. |
| 377 | * Taurus Bulba from ''WesternAnimation/DarkwingDuck'', primary villain of the two-part pilot episode, was caught in an explosion at that episode's climax. He was rebuilt by F.O.W.L. much later in the series. To show his "gratitude," he immediately turns on them and sets out on a vendetta against Darkwing. |
| 378 | * Spoofed in ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' in a [[CutawayGag faux-flashback]] when Peter remembers the time when he was ''Series/TheSixMillionDollarMan''. Unfortunately, they didn't want to spend a lot of money so they came up with...[[http://www.pisitoenmadrid.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/six_million_dollar_man.jpg this.]] |
| 379 | * ''WesternAnimation/{{Gargoyles}}'': Coldstone was three seperate gargoyles, or more accurately, the shattered stone remains of three gargoyles, who Xanatos and Demona reassembled using magic and science. The same series also gave us Jackel and Hyena, though they were perfectly healthy and chose to become cyborgs voluntarily, no horrific injury required. |
| 380 | %% * Cyber-Godzilla in ''WesternAnimation/GodzillaTheSeries'', who is Zilla brought back to life by aliens. |
| 381 | * In ''WesternAnimation/MenInBlackTheSeries'', [[KnightOfCerebus Alpha]] first rebuilt himself with alien body parts, but later used cybernetics. |
| 382 | * ''WesternAnimation/{{Inhumanoids}}'': The character Sabre Jet (who is [[{{Transplant}} heavily implied to be]] Ace from ''WesternAnimation/GIJoeARealAmericanHero'') gets critically injured at one point and the Earth Corps save him by building his new armor around his body. |
| 383 | * Hexadecimal from ''WesternAnimation/ReBoot'' has this treatment after being blown up when a game cube ([[Creator/{{Nintendo}} No, not THAT one]]) cut the giant laser she was using in half, but instead of a cyborg she was turned into a BDSM slave. [[{{Squick}} By]] her [[BrotherSisterIncest brother]]. |
| 384 | * In ''WesternAnimation/RickAndMorty'', Birdperson is killed by his recently-married wife Tammy in the episode "The Wedding Squanchers". TheStinger of the next episode reveals that the Federation secretly reconstructed him as Phoenix-Person. |
| 385 | * ''WesternAnimation/TheRobonicStooges'' is ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: the Three Stooges rebuilt as robot superheroes. The creators of them have silently apologized for 32 episodes. |
| 386 | * Like everything else in life ''WesternAnimation/RobotChicken'' had taken a few shots at the concept: |
| 387 | ** The titular robot chicken was a chicken found in the middle of the road, having been run over. A scientist found the chicken, rebuilt it as a cyborg, then forced it to watch stop-motion animation on a wall of [=TVs=], presumably ForScience. Later, the chicken breaks free, kills the scientist, then rebuilds him and forces him to watch the same [=TVs=]. |
| 388 | ** Parodied and averted in one sketch making fun of ''The Six Million Dollar Man'' and ''The Bionic Woman''. Steve Austin gets the scientists who rebuilt him to do the same to his girlfriend, which they do. The problem is that in addition to the standard cybernetics, they give her padded knees, larger breasts, and a hand that automatically does a jerking motion (for "polishing things"). She's naturally angry and delivers a beatdown to Steve and the scientists, leaving them as nothing more than heads. They ask the people attending to them if they could be rebuilt, but they just get laughed at because the question is considered absurd, and they're told that they won't live through the night. |
| 389 | ** There's also the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Co-wNI9wn6w Bionic Mexican,]] which features the "Six Million ''Peso'' Man". He promptly uses his stronger and faster body to jump the border into the U.S, and one agent laments their loss of [[CrossesTheLineTwice 283 American Dollars.]] |
| 390 | * ''WesternAnimation/StarTrekLowerDecks'': It's eventually revealed that [[spoiler: this is how Rutherford got his implant, as Admiral Buenamigo basically caused the accident that injured Rutherford, and then used the implant to not only [[PragmaticVillainy save Rutherford's life and prevent a scandal]], but also to erase his memory of the accident (sparing Buenamigo's reputation)]]. |
| 391 | * In ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars'' Mother Talzin used her [[{{Magitek}} magicks to fashion new, cybernetic legs]] for Darth Maul, who [[NotQuiteDead survived]] [[HalfTheManHeUsedToBe his bisection]] at the hands of Obi-Wan. |
| 392 | * Baxter Stockman in ''[[WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2003 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles]]'' (2003) loses more and more body parts as the show goes on, becoming a more monstrous cyborg with each appearance, until he eventually ends up as a BrainInAJar. |
| 393 | * Cyborg's backstory in ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans2003'' was [[AdaptationalBackstoryChange similar to his comic one]], except rather than being injured in a FreakLabAccident, he was mutilated in a car accident. |
| 394 | * In ''WesternAnimation/TransformersPrime'', members of MECH save their critically-wounded leader Silas by modifying the corpse of the Decepticon warrior Breakdown to act as life support and to let Silas control it while hooked up to it. Even ''Megatron'' is disturbed by this. |
| 395 | * ''WesternAnimation/UncleCrocsBlock'' has recurring live action character Steve Exhaustion, the $6.95 Man, a cyborg who is always falling apart. Another direct parody of Steve Austin the Six Million Dollar Man. |
| 396 | * ''WesternAnimation/TheVentureBros'': |
| 397 | ** Parodied with Steve Austin, the original bionic man, running away from the U.S. since it turns out the government wants him to pay for the multi-million dollar surgery, on a government agent's salary. |
| 398 | ** It's later revealed that the cyborg villain Vendata was once the Monarch's father, the Blue Morpho, and was [[BackFromTheDead resurrected by Jonas Venture Sr.]] as a cyborg after he died in a plane crash. However he was shut down by Kano after he accidentally started strangling Rusty, and was found by Dr. Z who wiped his memories and turned him evil. He later regained his memories and took up the mantle of the Blue Morpho once more during the Morphic Trilogy. |

| 402 | * Some intraocular lens implants used in cataract surgery are reported to give better vision than natural vision at its youth peak. |
| 403 | * There is a debate over whether prosthetic legs such as those used by sprinter [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oscar_Pistorius Oscar Pistorius]] give users an unfair competitive advantage over "able-bodied" athletes. However, as the first amputee to ever compete in the Olympic Games, he came in last place in the 400m semi-final (16th out of 51 overall), and only won one fairly minor race against able-bodied athletes before [[RoleEndingMisdemeanor negligent homicide charges arising from the death of his girlfriend]] put an indefinite crimp on his athletic career. Quite an achievement for someone with no legs, but it suggests we're not quite at the point of making cyborgs better than humans just yet. |
| 404 | * Dental implants, an increasingly-common alternative to dentures, never get cavities and can be less brittle than natural teeth. |
