This cyborg test subject was killed by an experimental explosive injected into her bloodstream by Pinwheel, the company that created her in Cyborg 2. Cyborgs come in many guises, though all involve some combination of electronic, computerized, and biological elements. Human-born, or biological, cyborgs, start life as human beings but are later enhanced with cybernetic prostheses, whereas manufactured, or mechanical, cyborgs are fundamentally machines with biological elements. Cyborgs can be either male or female.
Some cyborgs can pass as human, while others look more like machines.
Further, even in cases where technology is the villain represented by the cyborg, evil cyborgs do not necessarily look like machines, and good cyborgs do not necessarily look human. Again, the Terminator and RoboCop are good examples. In such scenarios, the cyborg's milieu is one of technological excess, which has created a world that is virtually unlivable. In the movie Cyborg, for example, chaos rules, and a deadly plague is wiping out the remnants of humanity. In Digital Man, for example, the D1 cyborg is attempting to upload the launch codes for 250 nuclear missiles that will instigate an all-out nuclear war.
