Cyborg

Steve Austin, CYBORG, is the world's deadliest weapon.. All the resources of N.A.S.A., The Pentagon, and Government Money put the broken pieces of Lt. Col. Steve Austin's shattered body together again. He came out of it more perfect than human. Better than new. A deadly, unstoppable weapon. Now all he needed was to find some human emotion in the tangle of plastic, wire and atomic metal that was fused to the remains of his flesh...

Cyborg was the basis for the television movie The Six-Million Dollar Man, which became a popular series of the same name and had an equally popular spin-off, The Bionic Woman. Seen by almost every child of the 1970s, the show had the benefit of a cross-gender appeal: girls watched it for hunky star Lee Majors, boys tuned in because the guy was part robot. Look inside the lunchbox and you'll find a new myth of man in the technological age, one popularized in countless books and films since. Or you can just reminisce about fembots. A new film version is rumored to be in the works, but we'll believe it when we see the action figure.
