  • Magnificent Bastard: In Black Out 2022, Iggy Cygnus is a combat model Nexus-8 Replicant, who fought in a war on the colony Calantha. Discovering that all soldiers on both sides of that war were Replicants built to fight and die for their human masters, Iggy escaped to Earth only to see that human supremacy movements have been hunting down and killing Replicants there by tracking them down with Tyrell Corporation's database of registered Replicants. Coming up with a plan to destroy the entire Tyrell's database to help hide the identity of every Replicant from humans, Iggy recruits Ren Dus, a technician at the Tyrell Corporation in charge of launching nuclear missiles, and fellow Replicant Trixie. Having Ren redirect a missile to detonate above Los Angeles, which turns all the power in the city off and deletes all the data, killing countless innocent people in the process, Iggy and Trixie invade Tyrell's archives to destroy all magnetic backups. Succeeding at the cost of both of his partners, Iggy removes his right eye, making himself completely untraceable.
