Cybersix facts for kids
Cybersix is an Italian comic book series published in 1991, created by the Argentine authors Carlos Trillo (story) and Carlos Meglia (art) for the comics magazine Skorpio (Eura Editoriale). The series first appeared in Spanish in November 1993. It follows an eponymous leather-clad genetic engineering survivor who cross-dresses (to conceal her identity) and works as a male teacher during the day, and fights against the scientist who created her at night.
The series was adapted into a live-action television series and an animated television series, with positive critical reception from Pulcinella Awards.
Plot
Von Reichter is a surviving member of Schutzstaffel in World War II. He works on experiments in South America, creating the Cyber Series, artificial humanoids with super strength and agility. The 5000 original Cybers became servants, mimicked human emotions and making their will. When they disobey orders, Reichter orders them all to be destroyed. After the death of Cyber-29 (Data-7), Reichter transfers his brain into the body of a panther. Cyber-6 is one of the survivors, who escapes and arrives in the city of Meridiana. She disguises herself as school teacher Adrian Seidelman, after the real one is killed in a car wreck. While saving the city from Reichter's creations, Cybersix defeats Frankenstein-like monsters called "Fixed Ideas" ("Technos") and drinks green sustenance liquids, in order to survive. Along the way, she meets an orphaned boy Julian, Reichter's cloned son José, and high school teacher Lucas Amato.
