==Plot==
{{spoiler}}
Von Reichter is a surviving member of [[Schutzstaffel]] in [[World War II]]. He works on experiments in South America, creating the ''Cyber'' series of artificial humanoids with super strength and agility. The 5000 original Cybers became servants, mimicked human emotions and making their will. When they disobeyed orders, Reichter orders them all to be destroyed. After the death of Cyber-29, Reichter transfers his brain into the body of a [[black panther]] named Data-7. Cyber-6 (Cybersix) 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 crash. Cybersix defeats monsters called "Fixed Ideas" – humanoids of the ''Techno'' series – in order to drink the green [[sustenance]] liquid contained within them. Along the way, she meets an orphaned boy Julian, Reichter's cloned son José, and high school teacher Lucas Amato.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://cybersix.smackjeeves.com/comics/1514611/page-42-43/ |title=Archived copy |access-date=28 September 2015 |archive-date=17 March 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130317173423/http://cybersix.smackjeeves.com/comics/1514611/page-42-43/ |url-status=dead }}</ref>
==Story==
Dr. Von Reichter is a member of the [[SS]] and the [[Nazism|Nazi]] party, and an expert in [[genetics|genetic engineering]]. He originally began his work in [[concentration camps]] during [[World War II]], implanting [[cybernetic]] [[organ (anatomy)|organs]] in the bodies of dead prisoners in an attempt to bring life to them so that they might serve in the [[Adolf Hitler|Führer's]] army. However, the [[Allied]] forces intervened to defeat the Nazis, so he fled to [[South America]] where he once again continued his sinister experiments.


==Production==
From one of these emerged the Cyber Series — artificial humanoids possessing superhuman strength and agility. But something was amiss: the Cybers, engineered to be the perfect servant, turned out to mimic human emotions too closely, displaying free will of their own. When they began disobeying their creator, Von Reichter ordered all of the Cyber series to be destroyed. By this time, Cyber-29 had already died in a playtime accident when he fell from a cliff, but Von Reichter managed to transfer the dead child's brain into the body of a panther to be reborn as Data 7 (see below). Thus Cybersix was the only true Cyber to survive the massacre, escaping with the help of a black slave who hid her away at a fishing village. When the slave was interrogated and killed by Von Reichter later on, Cybersix escaped once again and made her way to Meridiana, where she now battles her evil creator and his minions.
===Comics===
The comics were originally published in Italy in the magazine ''[[Skorpio (Italy)|Skorpio]] ''in 113 weekly 12-pages installments from May 1991 to July 1994, followed by 45 96-pages comic books between November 1994 and January 1999. Parts of the material were translated in Spanish and published in [[Argentina]] (since 1993 by El Globo Editor) and in Spain (since 1995 by Planeta De Agostini).<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cybersix.it/argentina.html|title=Cybersix.it|access-date=2007-05-15}}</ref> Collections were released in French, with twelve volumes distributed by Editions Vents d'Ouest between 1994 and 1998.<ref name="D">{{cite web|url=http://www.cybersix.it/fumetti.html|title=Cybersix.it|access-date=2007-05-15}}</ref>


===Live-action series===
==Cybersix==
The series debuted in [[Argentina]] on 15 March 1995. It was produced by Luis Gandulfo, Sebastián Parrotta, Fernando Rascovsky and Andre Ronco, and written by Ricardo Rodríguez, Carlos Meglia and Carlos Trillo. The series aired on [[Telefé]], but was cancelled after only a few episodes due to low ratings. Cybersix was played by former model and actress [[Carolina Peleritti]], José was played by [[Rodrigo de la Serna]], and Doguyy was played by Mario Moscoso.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.swikat.com/Movie/47815/Cybersix |title=SWIKAT: Cybersix (1995) |access-date=5 June 2012 |archive-date=12 August 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140812173011/http://www.swikat.com/Movie/47815/Cybersix |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref>[http://www.superheroeslives.com/internationals/cybersix_(1995).htm Cybersix (1995) TV movie] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121014024740/http://www.superheroeslives.com/internationals/cybersix_(1995).htm |date=14 October 2012 }} – superheroeslives.com</ref>
Cybersix's name comes from the tattoo branded on her arm (CYBER 6), marking her as sixth of the original 5000 Cybers. After escaping Von Reichter, she adopted the identity of a boy killed in a car wreck, Adrian Seidelman, subsequently posing as a male in the [[fictitious]] city of ''Meridiana'' where she lives alone, and eventually became a literature teacher for high school students.


===Animated series===
Along with the sound of the background music, several elements of the cartoon's visual design hint that Meridiana is modelled after [[Buenos Aires]], teeming with decorative [[sculpture]] throughout the metropolis, numerous outdoor markets and open-air [[cafes]]. Some of the more mature story elements, such as Jose and Von Reichter's Nazi background or Cybersix's youth, are not openly revealed in the cartoon but are suggested through dialogue, flashbacks, or visual clues, such as the military-style [[Stechschritt|goose-stepping]] that both Jose and Von Reichter engage in war.

==Controversy with ''Dark Angel'' and lawsuit==
Like all of Von Reichter's creations, Cybersix depends on a mysterious life-giving fluid called ''"sustenance"''. When her supply ran out, she was forced to prowl the city in search of other creatures of Von Reichter's making, such as Fixed Ideas or Technos, who have infiltrated the city. She kills them and takes their sustenance to survive. The method by which she obtains the sustenance is different in the TV series compared to the original comic book: in the show, after one of Von Reichter's creations dies, it evaporates in a flash and leaves a glowing vial of sustenance in its place, which Cybersix then opens and consumes. In the comic book, Cybersix sucks the sustenance directly from the neck of the Technos, Fixed Ideas, etc., as if she were a vampire; however, she does not have fangs, instead simply making a wound at the victim's neck with her teeth and then drinking the sustenance that bleeds from the wound.
Meglia and Trillo filed a lawsuit against [[James Cameron]], claiming that ''[[Dark Angel (American TV series)|Dark Angel]]'' [[Plagiarism|plagiarized]] the series.<ref>[http://www.pagina12.com.ar/diario/espectaculos/6-1582-2002-02-06.html "Cameron always steals ideas"] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150626103244/http://www.pagina12.com.ar/diario/espectaculos/6-1582-2002-02-06.html |date=26 June 2015 }}, 2002-02-06, ''[[Pagina/12]]'' {{in lang|es}}</ref> Trillo and Meglia accused the show of stealing most of the plot from the comic and most recognizable elements.<ref>[http://axxon.com.ar/not/c-108InfoCybersix.htm Cybersix vs. Dark Angel: A court battle] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150402113552/http://axxon.com.ar/not/c-108InfoCybersix.htm |date=2 April 2015 }} 2001-11-26, Axxon.com.ar {{in lang|es}}</ref> In a 2007 interview, Trillo stated that he and Meglia dropped the lawsuit due to lack of financial resources, although the issue is still a matter of controversy.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.tebeosfera.com/documentos/textos/nueva_semblanza_entrevista_con_carlos_trillo.html |title=New profile.

==References==
Almost by accident, she became a [[superhero]] by defending the people of her city from Von Reichter's malevolent plans, often carried out by his clone "son" José. Along the way, she meets ''Data 7'', the black panther with the brain of her brother, ''Cyber 29'', and falls in love with a biology teacher/reporter, Lucas Amato. Lucas is also in love with Cybersix and is unaware that his best friend, Adrian Seidelman, is Cybersix's alter ego.
{{Reflist}}

Patrolling the city by night, Cybersix is costumed in a black bodysuit with high heels, a black cape with red lining, a black hat, and cropped black gloves. In the comic, she took her outfit from a Techno prostitute.

==Characters==
*''Cybersix'': The beautiful Cyber created by Dr. Von Reichter, whom she constantly thwarts as he attempts to destroy her. She is extremely strong and cunning.
*''Adrian Seidelman'': Adrian is an English literature teacher, the alter-ego that Cybersix takes on while living in Meridiana. The real Adrian Seidelman was killed in a car wreck, so Cybersix buried him and took on his identity.
*''Data 7'': An intelligent panther created in the "Data" series; he is a unique mixture of animal and human with the same acrobatic skills and strength as the "Cyber" series. He was originally Cyber 29, Cybersix's brother.
*''Lucas Amato'': A biology teacher at Meridiana High School. He fell in love with Cybersix at first sight and is best friends with Adrian.
*''Julian'': A young boy that Cybersix met who lives on the street. He is skilled with various sleights of hand.
*''Lori Anderson (Lori Cadenas in the comics)'': A teenage girl in Adrian's class who has a crush on him. She often disrupts the lessons with her antics, forcing Adrian to send her to the principal's office. She is unaware of Cybersix until Episode 5, [[jealousy|jealously]] mistaking the costumed woman as Adrian's girlfriend.
*''Miao Yashimoto'': A [[Japanese people|Japanese]] private investigator who was hired by José (Von Reichter in the comics) to track down Cybersix. His little sister, Ikiko, was taken captive (along with Julian in the animation) to ensure his cooperation. While he discovers Cybersix and Adrian's identities, he chooses to keep it a secret after they work together to save Ikiko and Julian.
*''Ikiko Yashimoto'': The younger sister of a famed [[detective]] known only by his surname in the television series (in the comics his full name is Miao Yashimoto). She is a friend of Julian.
*''José'': [[Irritable]], demented [[cloning|clone]] son of Dr. Von Reichter. Although childlike in appearance, he is actually an adult in a child's body. (The only clue to this in the animation is in his yelling "I am NOT a child!" when insulted by Lori.) José deals with Cybersix more often than Von Reichter himself and leads the henchmen. Despite the fact that José has thought of many plots to eliminate her, he often messes things up. For these failures, Dr. Von Reichter berates him until he snaps and rebels with deadly consequences in Episode 13, "''The Final Confrontation.''" He is also a skilled scientist and engineer.
*''Dr. Von Reichter'': Primary villain of the comics, he is a former member of the [[SS]] and the [[Nazism|Nazi]] party, and an expert in [[genetics]] and [[biotechnology]].

===Minor Characters===

*''Terra'': A creature that is made out of ancient mud fused with sustenance. It has the ability to shock people, and disguise itself in its surroundings. It also has the tendency to inherit personality traits based on the people it is connected with: Von Reichter initially made it evil by bonding it with Jose and the Fixed Ideas, although it developed a good side after contacting Cybersix. Jose later mutated it to make it evil again, although connecting with Cybersix restored its good side. It later sacrificed itself to save Cybersix from a burning tower.

*''Giant Shellfish'': A giant squid-like creature under Jose's control that he uses to battle Cybersix. Her attacks are initially useless against its rough hide, until Yashimoto weakens it with poison gas. Cybersix presumably destroys the creature by smashing it under a [[bascule bridge]].

*''Fixed Idea Bird'': A giant humanoid bird-like creature that Jose sends to attack Cybersix, that possesses incredible strength and the ability to fly. Data-7 destroys it by flinging it into an electric sign.

*''Flying Goblins'': These winged goblins have the ability to fly and emit supersonic blasts from their mouth, being able to fly in formation and combine their sound-blasts for greater effect. Their only vulnerability is sunlight.

*''Mutant werewolf'': The true form of the teacher Elaine, who has superhuman strength, speed and agility, and the ability to infect others and turn them into werewolves with similar powers. Created by Von Reichter, she is defeated by Cybersix and Data-7, and her victims return to normal.

*''Chimp's Eye'': An eyeball-like creature with several unusual powers: the ability to fly at will, hypnotize its opponents and turn them into mindless zombies, and fire deadly electrical blasts. While it initially obeys Jose's commands, it later goes berserk when Cybersix uses a mirror to reflect its hypnotizing powers back on itself.

*''Grizelda'': A mutant creature with the power to turn invisible at will, armed with a retractable claw as her main weapon. She stalks Cybersix through the wilderness and villages of Meridiana, finally battling her on a set of railway tracks suspended above a waterfall.

*''The Isle of Doom'': Von Reichter's ultimate weapon, it is a colossal monster shaped like an island, that essentially functions as a living bomb. Von Reichter intends to use it to destroy Merdiana, until Jose takes control of it and uses it to rebel against his 'father'.

*''Fixed Ideas'': These creatures are Jose's main minions, physically resembling very tall, muscular, green-skinned men. As their name implies, they are totally loyal to Jose and Von Reichter, carrying out their commands. The Fixed Ideas are very strong, but not very smart. Smaller, female Fixed Ideas are seen acting as Jose's cooks and maids.

*''Technos'': Another of Von Reichter's creations, these beings look more like normal humans. Von Reichter has placed them in positions of power throughout Meridiana, using them to infiltrate the city and gain influence. One of them, for example, is chief of police, used by Jose to find policemen skilled enough to hunt down Cybersix.

Cybersix is an Argentinean 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 the eponymous leather-clad genetic engineering survivor who cross-dresses (to conceal her identity) working 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[1] and an animated television series that garnered positive critical reception from the Pulcinella Awards.[2]

Plot

Von Reichter is a surviving member of Schutzstaffel in World War II. He works on experiments in South America, creating the Cyber series of artificial humanoids with super strength and agility. The 5000 original Cybers became servants, mimicked human emotions and making their will. When they disobeyed orders, Reichter orders them all to be destroyed. After the death of Cyber-29, Reichter transfers his brain into the body of a black panther named Data-7. Cyber-6 (Cybersix) 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 crash. Cybersix defeats monsters called "Fixed Ideas" – humanoids of the Techno series – in order to drink the green sustenance liquid contained within them. Along the way, she meets an orphaned boy Julian, Reichter's cloned son José, and high school teacher Lucas Amato.[3]

Controversy with Dark Angel and lawsuit

Meglia and Trillo filed a lawsuit against James Cameron, claiming that Dark Angel plagiarized the series.[8] Trillo and Meglia accused the show of stealing most of the plot from the comic and most recognizable elements.[9] In a 2007 interview, Trillo stated that he and Meglia dropped the lawsuit due to lack of financial resources, although the issue is still a matter of controversy.[10]
