==Plot==
==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.<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>
The cruel Dr. Von Reichter, a member of the [[Schutzstaffel|SS]] and the [[Nazism|Nazi]] party, is an expert in [[genetic engineering]]. He initially began his work in [[Nazi concentration camps|concentration camps]] during [[World War II]], implanting [[cybernetic]] [[organ (anatomy)|organs]] in the bodies of dead prisoners in an attempt to bring them back to life to serve in the [[Adolf Hitler|Führer's]] army. However, the [[Allies of World War II|Allied]] forces intervened to defeat the Nazis, so he fled to South America, where he once again continued his sinister experiments.

From one of his experiments emerged the Cyber Series – artificial humanoids possessing superhuman strength and agility. But something was amiss: The 5000<ref>http://cybersix.smackjeeves.com/comics/1514611/page-42-43/</ref> original Cybers, engineered to be the perfect servants, mimicked 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 tree (a cliff in the animated series), but Von Reichter managed to transfer the dead child's brain into the body of a panther to be reborn as Data-7. Cyber-6 was the only true Cyber to survive the massacre, escaping with the help of a black slave who hid her away in a fishing village. When the slave was later interrogated and killed by Von Reichter, Cybersix escaped once again and made her way to the fictitious city of Meridiana, where she adopted the identity of a boy killed in a car wreck, Adrian Seidelman, and now battles her evil creator and his minions.

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, hunting other creatures of Von Reichter's creation, such as [[Frankenstein]]'s-monster-like "Fixed Ideas" or the more human-like "Technos", to murder them and take their Sustenance to survive. Almost by accident, she became a hero by defending the people of her city from Von Reichter's malevolent plans, often carried out by his cloned "son" José. Along the way, she meets the resurrected Data-7, as well as a young boy named Julian, and falls in love with biology teacher/reporter Lucas Amato, while her male alter-ego, Adrian, became the object of affection of one of "his" students.

==Differences between media==
{{unreferenced section|date=July 2015}}
The method by which Cybersix obtains sustenance is different among the series' incarnations. In the comic book, Cybersix sucks sustenance directly from the neck of those she hunts as if she were a [[vampire]]; however, she does not have fangs, instead simply making a wound in the victim's neck with her teeth, then drinking the Sustenance that bleeds from it instead of blood. Conversely, in the animated series, Von Reichter's creations carry glowing vials of Sustenance with them, which Cybersix would open and drink.

Cybersix's outfit of black bodysuit, high heels, hat, cropped gloves, and cape with red lining was taken from a Techno prostitute in the comics, while its origin is never explained in the animated series.

Some of the more mature story elements, such as José engaging in [[sexual intercourse]], despite appearing to be a little boy, Von Reichter's Nazi background, or Cybersix's youth, are not openly revealed in the animated series, but some of these elements are suggested through dialogue, flashbacks, or visual clues, such as the military-style [[Goose-Step]]ping that both José and Von Reichter engage in, and José's [[Hitler Youth]] style of clothing.

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]

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).[4] Collections were released in French, with twelve volumes distributed by Editions Vents d'Ouest between 1994 and 1998.[5]

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]
