do you have a favorite marvel cyborg? who is it? points go to the ones who are actually visibly mechanical.

mine:

Pretty-Boy http://www.comicvine.com/pretty-boy/28113/costumes/&c=1101


Garrison Kane http://image.comicvine.com:8000/item/27000/26923/7804-garrison-kane_400.jpg


i know that some people are partial to Deathlok. me i could never get past his moldiness.

Pretty Boy? Really? Even as Reavers go, I always preferred Bonebreaker. There's something about a Road Warrior reject with tank treads for legs that is very visually satisfying.

Although if I could go lost license for a moment...

i like him too but i found Pretty Boy more interesting. i liked the extend-o arms and the role he played in the Punisher/Nick Fury arcade game.

Cameron Hodge is my clear winner. He made hating mutants sexy.

I always thought the arms were a little silly, but to each their own. I'm not going to try and take that away from you.


Hey, does Extremis Tony count as a cyborg? Seems like he should.

i guess. as long as he's part machine. of course i've always thought that 'bionic' and 'cyborg' were two different classifications. Tony seems more bionic to me.

Right now he's full of nanites. He has no marrow and his bones are filled with his armor's undersheathing, which is something Ellis stole from himself with the Engineer, but whatever. And even beyond that, he's got Extermis nanotech coursing through his body. There's not really a term for that, other than a generic post-human tag.

Also, bionic describes less the being, more the parts. A cyborg has bionic parts. But you don't usually refer to someone as a bionic. On the other hand, someone with a pacemaker is technically a cyborg. Unless you want to create some kind of specific term for cyborg, being they have to be so much mechanical, but then that's your own personal definition, and you're wrong according to the rest of the world.

Beta Ray Bill's a cyborg. So I'll go with him.

I'll go with Bill as well, followed by Deathlok.

I find him way more fun than you :biggrin:

Anyways what about Victor Mancha? The Runaways resident cyborg? The son of Ultron created from the DNA of his mother. His nanite systems are so advanced that they will evolve into artificial organs indistinguishable from real human organs by the time he was a fully grown adult.

Misty Knight, Cable, Bishop, Forge and the new Captain America have robotic limbs.

There's also Lady Deathstrike, most of the Reavers, Donald Pierce and Bastion. All a bunch of mutant killing cyborgs.

Vic Mancha is the best cyborg. Omega Sentinel is close.

I made a list in case any one couldn't think of a lot of cyborgs in Marvel. Mine is probably Victor Mancha.

If anyone does need a list, here's one. Myself, I'd pick good ol' Ulysses Klaw.

I always forget Klaw is a cyborg. I just assumed he had horrible fashion taste and replaced his hand with the sonic thing.

My vote is Victor Mancha at this point although Machine Man is always fun (especially his annoyance at his computer).

I have no clue why I typed Machine Man. What I meant to write was Deathlok.

Hah. Might have been my avatar.

Deathlok is cool, though. I remember him a little bit from the 80s Captain America. Zombie Deathlok needs to return.

It probably was your avatar.

I liked Deathlok's appearance in Beyond, but my favorite appearance (that I've read) was Paradise-X/Hearalds. Actually both he and Aaron were pretty awesome in that series (X-51/Aaron more so).

Machine Man/Aaron no contest.

Thanks to Nextwave he has become a favorite of mine. I'm glad he's in Ms. Marvel too and not wandering around limbo. Plus it gives me more of a reason to try to get back into reading Ms. Marvel.

Now all Ms. Marvel needs is Captian **** and it'll be gold.

Aaron is a robot, not a cyborg. A cyborg is a mixture of organics and mechanics, like a man with robotic arms, or a dog with implants to let it speak English. Or you could go the other way, and have a robot having organic parts.

My favorite cyborg is probably Tom Noir.
