Cyborgs — arrow

"We salvaged you, modified you and ressurected you."

Cyborgs are humans who have cybernetic enhancements, or have their brains implanted in robotic bodies, which grant them enhanced physical attributes.

Overview

A cyborg is defined as a biological entity who has bionic components somewhere in their body. They are indistinguishable from ordinary humans, except when their skin is damaged and it is visible that they are enhanced cybernetically.

History

Earth-1

Laura shooting a blast of energy at Wild Dog.

At some point, Dr. Laura Washington artificially augmented herself using technology stolen from Van Horn Industries. In late 2016, Laura was tracked by Team Arrow to a warehouse, where she tried to fight against the heroes, but lost.^[1]

In the 64th century, a group of criminals called the techno-wizards outfitted their bodies with futuristic nanotechnology which provided them with a range of abilities and turned them into cyborgs.^[2]^[3]^[4]

After Khalil was killed by Tobias, his mother Nichelle made deal with A.S.A. to save Khalil. A.S.A. revive Khalil with meta-human experiments and give him another bionic metal Promethium spinal implant under his skin.

After the Crisis, the events from Earths 1, 38, X, and TUD5 were merged into Earth-Prime.^[9] In an alternate timeline created by Mxyzptlk in 2020, Lena Luthor suffered an accident that left her gravely injured. Her mother, Lillian, used Cadmus' resources to transform her into a Metallo, but this was reversed when Mxyzptlk regained his powers.^[10]
