Very sensitive and compassionate, he sometimes wound up juggling the HeroBall while trying to avoid [[ShootTheDog difficult decisions]].* AcePilot* AdaptationDyeJob: Joe seems to get a new hair color with every new anime adaptation despite the manga clearly describing him as having "chestnut" hair (simplified to "brown" in Tokyopop's release), although Ishinomori later refers to him as a "blond" in the Aztec arc. In the early Toei films and '68 series, he has black hair. In the '79 series, his hair changed to a dirty mustard-like blond. He finally received brown hair in the ''Legend of the Super Galaxy'' film and 2001 series, only for it to be switched to a gingery orange shade in the 2012 movie.** His eye color can shift as well. Ishinomori's earliest colored artwork gave him blue eyes, only for his irises to then be depicted black, and then as brown in even later artwork. The animated adaptations vary between giving him brown eyes or red.* ArtEvolution: Started out with large, innocent-looking eyes in the early manga artwork and was drawn looking a bit younger. Ishinomori's style gradually evolved to have him appear a little more mature.* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: In early installments, he was ridiculed by both children and adults for his half-Japanese heritage. In the manga and '79 series, it's stated and shown that because of this treatment, he was driven to delinquency, which led to him being imprisoned in juvenile hall, which led to the attempted escape, which led to being found by Black Ghost...* BadassDriver: In the '79 anime and manga continuities he is a proficient Formula-1 racer.* BashBrothers: Frequently with Jet, especially in the manga and '79 anime. Though he sometimes goes with Albert on occasion.* ButNotTooForeign: Half-Japanese, with the ethnicity of his father unknown. The manga goes as far as to state that Joe was bullied for his "half-breed" status by those around him, and wound up becoming a delinquent ''because'' of the discrimination that he faced. ** The biracial aspect is unfortunately absent in both the '60s and 2001 incarnations, although the '79 series retained both this and Joe's delinquent history when it stated that Joe wound up at Kurihama for getting in a fight when protecting a fellow "half-breed" friend.* CartwrightCurse: [[spoiler: Helen, Princess Tamara (from "Legend of the Super Galaxy"), and Helena/Artemis die, Princess Ixquic is [[FateWorseThanDeath stranded in time]] in the anime and dead/deactivated in the manga. Only Francoise (and Jet, if you like your HoYay) are immune.]]* CharacterDevelopment: Is forced to throw away a part of his naivety as time goes on, but does his best to remain gentle and compassionate without losing his backbone.* ConvenientlyAnOrphan: His father is never acknowledged. In the 2001 series, his mother [[spoiler:died when he was a baby, right after entrusting him to a priest.]] This plays out similarly in the manga, [[spoiler: where Joe admits to having never known either of his parents, although he sees a vision of his mother during his final battle with Black Ghost.]]** In the continuity of the 2007 Manga/SkullMan anime, its heavily implied that [[spoiler:Joe's father is Hayato Mikogami, the second man to become the titular Skull Man. Who, as it happens, [[LukeIAmYourFather gets resurrected as Black Ghost in the series finale]].]]* [[{{Delinquents}} Delinquent]]: Actually started up like this in the manga, before Black Ghost captured him. His delinquent past was kept in the 1979 anime series, but removed in the other animated adaptations.* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Aside from his more youthful-looking design in the early manga, Joe was prone to use "ore" in the earliest printings to denote his rough past and former delinquency. Ishinomori later had him using "boku" in later arcs and some reprints, which carries over to the anime adaptations. * TheHero: Maybe one of the best examples in anime (provided the episode isn't centered on the other cyborgs.)* HeroicBSOD: [[spoiler:Getting catapulted into the BadFuture in the 2001 series will do that to you.]]* JackOfAllStats: Has the highest base specs as a cyborg amongst the 00-Numbers, but the others all beat him out in specific areas.* JapaneseDelinquents: Was one in the original manga and some adaptations (such as the 1979 one).* LightningBruiser: Very powerful and ''very'' fast.* LaserGuidedAmnesia: Starts the 2012 film with this, though he's aware that he's not entirely human. [[spoiler:Due to his age and how cyborgs age, it's just easier to erase his memory and have him relive high school every three years.]]* MundaneUtility: Can be seen using his Accelerator to get fresh ingredients to 006's restaurant, at one point.* NotHimself: Happens twice; first during the Ixquic incident, and later during [[spoiler:The Yomi Arc. He also starts the 2012 movie this way.]]* OrphanageOfLove: Lived in one of these in the 2001 series. [[spoiler: Until the owner, a Catholic priest, is gunned down after he finds out that some of the orphans he used to shelter were ''not'' HappilyAdopted, but used as guinea pigs by Black Ghost. Joe finds the corpse, is mistaken as the murderer ''and'' gets caught by Black Ghost while trying to escape from the police.]]* PeekABangs: A trademark.* SaveTheVillain: Attempts this more than once. [[spoiler:Always fails.]]* ShootTheDog: [[spoiler: He winds up having to do this to Kubikuro in the manga, '68 anime, and '79 anime.]]* TookALevelInKindness: He's actually more of a {{Jerkass}} towards everyone in earlier adaptations (specifically the 60's anime). In the 2001 version, he's a really NiceGuy right from the start.* TimeStandsStill: How he perceives the world while accelerated. [[spoiler: The "Frozen Time" chapter in the manga and its adaptation in the '01 anime leaves him stuck like this for a while. It's nightmarish for him.]] Depending on the adaptation, he also can't hear or touch anything 'normal' for collateral damage reasons, in this state.----[[quoteright:130:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/cyb001_3936.jpg]]!!'''Ivan Whisky''', aka Cyborg 001.->Voiced by: Kyoko Toriyama (early films- 1966, 1967), Fuyumi Shiraishi (1968 series and 1980 film) Sachiko Chijimatsu (1979 series), Mary Malone (1980 film- English dub), Creator/KanaUeda (2001 series), R. Martin Klein (2001 series- English dub; credited as "Bob Marx"), Katsue Miwa (2009 CD dramas), Creator/SakikoTamagawa (2012 movie), Creator/StephanieSheh (2012 movie - English dub), Haruka Shiraishi (''Cyborg 009 vs. Devilman''), Creator/ChristineMarieCabanos (''Cyborg 009 vs. Devilman'' - English dub); Salvador Nájar (1967's "Monster Wars" - Latin American Spanish dub), Maru Guzman (2001 series - Latin American Spanish dub), Azucena Martínez (2012 movie - Latin American Spanish dub), Creator/MisatoFukuen (''Call of Justice'' film trilogy)A small Russian baby with incredible PsychicPowers - in fact, he was likely the most powerful of the lot, but ''using'' them left him exhausted, and he could only use them to their fullest after sleeping for two weeks. Played the ChessMaster at times, [[TheStrategist co-ordinating attacks]] and [[EnemyScan providing the enemy's weaknesses]].* AdaptationDyeJob: Started the manga with hair that varied between light brown or a bright blond, but it was quickly changed to silver. The silver hair carries over to the animated adaptations, except for the first three films(the '60s films by Yuko Serigawa and "Legend of the Super Galaxy") where his hair was reverted to the light brown that it appeared as in some of the early artwork.* BerserkButton: Calling him 'just an infant'.* BlessedWithSuck: Cyborgs don't age, at least not like humans do. Ivan Whisky knows that. It may take him years, even ''decades'', before he becomes a more or less [[ReallySevenHundredYearsOld self-sufficient kid]]. * BlindingBangs: Though his eyes are occasionally exposed in the manga and in the '79 series. He lacks the bangs in RE: and the Archaia graphic novel.* BrainyBaby / GooGooGodlike* CastFromHitPoints: In the 2012 manga, it's revealed that every time he uses his PsychicPowers, a bit of his life energy disappears.* TheChessMaster* CreepyChild: One or twice skirts the line, but thankfully it's not very common.* DeadpanSnarker: To Joe in the 1st episode of the 2001 series * DependingOnTheArtist: The style of his exposed eyes really vary throughout the manga, perhaps due to them being a sporadic occurrence and Ishinomori forgetting how they looked. They also vary throughout the "Conclusion: God's War" manga, due to two different artists having worked on it (Masato Hayase and Sugar Sato).* HairColorDissonance: His hair often appears more on the teal or blue side in the 2001 series, although it seems to be intended to be silver as in the manga artwork.* HeavySleeper: JustifiedTrope due to his weak body. He spends fifteen days asleep each month, and then stays awake for just as long.* [[spoiler:IllBoy: Was born with a fatal illness in the 2001 continuity and the Archaia continuity, which is why he was made into a cyborg.]]* OlderThanTheyLook: Becomes this as the manga progresses, and especially in the 2001 anime continuity where he was frozen for 40 years.* PsychicPowers:** BarrierWarrior: When in a pinch, he can erect psychokinetic barriers that are impervious to all attacks.** EnemyScan** MindControl (only used in the manga)** MindOverMatter: Possesses strong psychokinesis.** {{Telepathy}}** TeleportersAndTransporters: Has the ability to transport anything and anyone to a chosen place. The only catch is that it only works on inanimate objects; he ''can'' transport people, but they have to be unconscious first.** PsychicLink** AstralProjection: Gains this power in both the 2012 manga and its anime adaption, and the Cyborg 009 vs. Devilman OVA.** DreamingOfThingsToCome: In the 2012 manga he had visions of the horrific final battle with the angels and gods who wanted to "restart" humanity.* RussianGuySuffersMost: He's Russian, yet out of all the 00 Cyborgs his DarkAndTroubledPast started at a ''very'' early age.* SleepyHead: Due to his psychic powers putting a strain on his infant body, he must sleep for a certain amount of days to regain his strength.* SpellMyNameWithAnS: His surname is spelled "Wisky" in the Archaia continuity, possibly to avoid alcoholic references. His given name is also sometimes seen as "Iwon" in merchandise, due to the difficulties of rendering "Ivan" in Japanese and then translating it back to English.* StockForeignName* {{Troll}}: In 2001 episode "The Birth", he constantly led Joe straight into enemy territory on purpose, just to get a sense of the newly-made 00 Cyborg's full capabilities. Joe is understandably upset when he finds out.* [[WiseBeyondTheirYears Wise Beyond His Months]]----[[quoteright:153:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/cyb002_2097.jpg]]!!'''Jet Link''', aka Cyborg 002.->Voiced by: Ryo Ishihara (early films and 1968 series), Creator/KeiichiNoda (1979 series and 1980 film), Don Pomes (1980 film- English dub), Creator/ShowtaroMorikubo (2001 series), Creator/KirkThornton (2001 series- English dub; credited as "Sparky Allen"), Creator/HideyukiHori (2009 CD dramas), Creator/DaisukeOno (2012 movie), Creator/MarcDiraison (2012 movie - English dub), Creator/TomoakiMaeno (''Cyborg 009 vs. Devilman''), Creator/SpikeSpencer (''Cyborg 009 vs. Devilman'' - English dub); Jaime Vega (1967's "Monster Wars" - Latin American Spanish dub), Ricardo Mendoza (2001 series - Latin American Spanish dub), Manuel Campuzano (2012 movie - Latin American Spanish dub), Takuya Satou (''Call of Justice'' film trilogy)A FieryRedhead from New York City, he used to be part of a gang before getting into just a little too much trouble and winding up with Black Ghost. In addition to being able to fly via rocket engines in the soles of his feet, he possessed the prototype [[SuperSpeed Accelerator]], underscoring his [[TheLancer relationship]] with Joe. Kind of looks like [[HomeMovies Brendon Small]].* AccidentalMurder: In the manga and the 1979 anime adaptation, a skirmish with a rival gang unexpectedly turned lethal when the switchblades came out (this is where he gets picked up by Black Ghost). Although this was initially to be kept in the 2001 anime, {{Bowdlerization}} hit in order to make it more kid-friendly and his origin was toned down to have him not stab anyone, but still be on the run from cops due to his delinquency.** The Archaia continuity has him stated to have been a homeless street punk who stabbed a man that had attempted to mug him.* AdaptationalAttractiveness: Compare the Jet of the manga and the anime series to the one in the 2012 film and the Archaia graphic novel, and there's a drastic overhaul in his appearance, with him becoming a more conventionally-attractive blond man (see notes in "Gag Nose").** A pachinko game that predated RE: depicted him with long red hair and a toned-down nose, although it was still realistically prominent.* AdaptationDyeJob: He pretty much is always a redhead in Ishinomori's color art, save for the color edition of the "Mythos" arc where his hair sometimes appeared as a dirty blond. He was changed to brunet in the first two Toei films. Otherwise, his red hair was retained- up until 009 RE: Cyborg and the American comic book adaptation, which changed it to blond.** His eyes are either brown or blue, depending on the given adaptation. The '79 series, "Legend of the Super Galaxy", RE:, and Archaia favored the blue-eyed look, while the 2001 series went with brown. Ishinomori usually gave him blue eyes in the colorspreads, although he also would paint the eyes brown at times as well.* TheAce: In the GaryStu-style stories he tells to his young friend Jimmy in the 2001 series, at least.** In the actual story however, he almost borders on being a RenaissanceMan. Combining all of his different incarnations he's been a football player, a bullfighter, a race car driver, a fighter pilot/NSA agent, a private detective, and a Broadway dancer.* AnArmAndALeg: His legs tend to blow up on him quite often, and he got his arm torn off in the '79 series. [[spoiler: And in "Conclusion: God's War", he loses both his legs (along with a good deal of his lower half) not once, but TWICE within the arc. The novel version amps things up by also having him lose both of his arms by the end.]]* ArtEvolution: Ishinomori initially drew him with slightly shorter hair, a protruding upper lip, and much wider eyes. His hair lengthened throughout the arcs, and his eyes quickly became more narrow in shape. His nose also increased in length, although the last few manga stories seemed to reduce his nose size, as well as tone down his hair a little.* AstonishinglyAppropriateAppearance: Thanks to his GagNose, long hair, and dark narrow eyes, he tends to resemble a bird. Quite fitting for the flying cyborg!* AwesomeMcCoolname: ''Jet Link''. Doubles as a [[MeaningfulName Meaningful/Ironic Name]].* BashBrothers: With Albert in the 2001 series, and Joe in the manga and '79 anime.* BigBrotherMentor: To his little New York City friend Jimmy and a bunch of esper children.* BoisterousBruiser: Especially in light of the fact that the other 3 1st generation Cyborgs all originally had major drawbacks in the '01 version. (001's abilities drained too much of his energy, and 003 and 004 originally rejected their implants.)* ButNotTooForeign: He's specified to be an Italian-American in later media, such as the 2001 anime and the CR Pachinko game that was released in 2011. Prior to this, he was merely stated to be an American with no exact ethnicity [[note]]Although with the "West Side Story" references in his original backstory, his ethnicity may also be up for debate as the Jets are either Polish-Americans or Italian-Americans depending on the adaptation. However, since Ishinomori did not detail a specific ethnicity, fans mostly had to guess what working-class background he had to be from.[[/note]]* CharacterDevelopment: Compare the selfish, whiny JerkAss from the beginning of the 2001 version, who bitches everyone out because he just wants to bash Black Ghost... with the strong, loyal JerkWithAHeartOfGold of the second part who ''cries'' when [[spoiler:he urges the esper alien children to defend themselves from their oppressors]] ''and'', in the GrandFinale, [[spoiler:is willing to die rather than abandon Joe to his luck]].** As far as the manga goes, Jet ''started'' out more laid-back and optimistic, but eventually became a bit more weary and temperamental by the time of the '80s in at least two stories, though he still generally remained one of the more mature and level-headed team members. His memorable blow-up in "Cyborg Soldier, For Whom Do You Fight?" might have been the seed for his hot-headed later portrayals.* CharlesAtlasSuperPower: He can lift eight fully grown people (and 001) and [[http://24.media.tumblr.com/c8bde95962f0cc7b1c4f3d9d0e3fd6cb/tumblr_mlqn52i9RO1r6o2d6o1_500.jpg still fly.]]* DarkAndTroubledPast: In all continuities, he grew up in a bad area of New York where he had to turn to delinquency to survive. In the manga and early installments he was a gang leader, though later he was altered to become a street punk. The 2001 episode "The Awakening" reveals that he carried a heavy amount of guilt over not preventing other children from becoming delinquents like he did and helping them protect themselves from people who picked on them. From the same series, the episode "Black Ghost Lives" shows Jet during his days as a prototype 00 Cyborg, and it's implied that out of the the nine people who became 00 Cyborgs, Jet stayed with Black Ghost the longest. No wonder the poor guy's so messed up.* [[{{Delinquents}} Delinquent]]: Was a StreetUrchin before Black Ghost got to him.* DependingOnTheWriter: The manga played Jet off as a more laid-back, easygoing guy, although he began to show some strain during the late '70s and early '80s. In the 1979 anime, while he still kept some of his chill personality, he also had a little more edge and memorably [[BerserkButton flew off the handle at G.B. and Albert over his gang being insulted]]. The 2001 version of Jet, as mentioned above, started out as more of a cocky, hot-headed JerkAss and was played as a sort of rival type for both Joe and Albert, then mellowed out as time passed. In addition to this, the writers for the English dub of the '01 series tended to try to done down some of his {{Jerkass}} moments to make him sound a little ''less'' rude.** His age is also subject to variation; the earlier adaptations stated him to be 22, while the 2001 version has him as merely 18 when he's captured by Black Ghost. In the manga, Ishinomori never gave a concrete age for the most of the 00 cyborgs, so [[VagueAge Jet could just as well fall around that range]].* FieryRedHead: Sports long red hair and is the most likely to attack out of the 00 Cyborgs. It should be noted, though, that this infamous aspect of his personality didn't come until the 2001 series.%% * FragileSpeedster: Probably the most fragile of the 00-Numbers, which leads to him either getting blown out of the sky easily or losing a limb.* [[spoiler: HalfTheManHeUsedToBe: In "Conclusion: God's War", ''twice''.]]* HiddenDepths: In 2001 episode "Search For the Professor", he shows some artistic talent when he painted the 00 Cyborgs' ship, the <i>Dolphin</i>.* HotBlooded: VERY much. This wasn't introduced until the 2001 anime, though.* GagNose: His nose is absurdly long and pointy** Averted in the American reboot. His switch to being a blonde with a normally-sized aquiline nose angered some fans. It's also far less prominent in the 2012 movie, though it's still pointier than normal.* GunsAkimbo: In the Cyborg 009 vs. Devilman OVA, he was given the ability to wield two blaster guns. This was possibly planned to be in the Archaia continuity, where promotional concept art released by Marcus To showed Jet wearing two gun holsters in his uniform.* {{Jerkass}}: While he's a loyal and valued member of the 00 Cyborg team, he does have his moments...* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Pretty much this in his incarnations from 2001 and on, although his 1979 and manga incarnations can have their abrasive moments too.* LethalChef: Becomes this in the 2001 anime, due to refusing [[TeamChef Chang's]] lessons. Whoops.* TheLancer: To Joe.* PrivateDetective: Became one in the 2012 manga after the disbandment of the 00 Cyborgs.* RedOniBlueOni: Again, he's the Red to either Joe or Albert's Blue. And to Francoise, to a degree.* SuperSpeed: He was installed with an early prototype version of Joe's Accelerator, one that achieves the same affects for a shorter amount of time (though this was mostly forgotten in favor of his flight abilities). In the 2012 manga, after his body was ripped in half (first time), Jet was given by Ivan the ability to accelerate his flight speed to the speed of light, which was also shown in its OVA adaption.* TeleportersAndTransporters: In the 2012 manga, Ivan gave him a psychic upgrade in the form of teleportation, though this was left out in its OVA adaption.----[[quoteright:172:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/cyb003_876.jpg]]!!'''Francoise Arnoul''', aka Cyborg 003.->Voiced by: Judy Ongg (early films- 1966, 1967) Creator/HirokoSuzuki (1968 series), Creator/KazukoSugiyama (1979 series and 1980 film), Michelle Hart (1980 film- English dub), Creator/SatsukiYukino (2001 series), Creator/DorothyEliasFahn (2001 series- English dub; credited as "Midge Mayes"), Creator/MachikoToyoshima (2009 CD dramas), Creator/ChiwaSaito (2012 movie), Creator/ErinFitzgerald (2012 movie - English dub), Creator/MaoIchimichi aka MAO (''Cyborg 009 vs. Devilman''), Creator/StephanieSheh (''Cyborg 009 vs. Devilman'' - English dub); Azucena Rodríguez (1967's "Monster Wars" - Latin American Spanish dub), Ilia Gil (2001 series - Latin American Spanish dub), Adriana Rodríguez (2012 movie - Latin American Spanish dub), Creator/RisaTaneda (''Call of Justice'' film trilogy).A French ballerina who was given [[SuperSenses vastly enhanced hearing and sight]], making her great at surveillance... [[WhatKindOfLamePowerIsHeartAnyway if not so good at the whole direct combat thing]] ([[HeroicSelfDeprecation and she painfully knows it]]). Depending on the adaptation, she ranges from TheChick to ActionGirl; however, she always serves as TheHeart of the team and Joe's LoveInterest (the only one immune to the whole CartwrightCurse thing...)* ActionGirl: It's worth noting that, as thin as she looks, she ''did'' get a full-body rebuild, and while her specialty isn't suited for battle, she can more than handle her own.** Not to mention, she was a ballerina (aspirant in some version, a full-pro in others). Dancers of all kinds tend to be very fit and, even if not ripped, they're physically stronger than they look. BG likely rebuilt her following her basic body shape ''and'' the bulk she already had.* AdaptationDyeJob: Her hair is usually blonde, but was depicted as a reddish-brown in the '60s Toei films and the '68 series, as light brown in the 1980 film and in some of Ishinomori's early colorspreads, and as ginger in 009 RE: Cyborg. She also has ginger hair in the American graphic novel.** Her eyes tend to vary between either being blue or green.* [[spoiler: AnArmAndALeg: Has her right arm ripped from her body in the manga version of "Conclusion: God's War". It necessitates her having to get it replaced with a [[ArtificialLimbs rather obvious robotic limb]], one that bears a bullet-firing hand much like Albert's.]]* ArtEvolution: Initially didn't wear her headband, had differently-styled eyes, and had much longer brown hair. Ishinomori decided on giving her a headband mid-"Birth" arc and tweaked her eyes. When he went back to write her origin for the revised version of the "Birth" arc, she appears already wearing her headband- which vanishes for a while after Joe first meets her (due to those scenes being the first to feature her).* BattleCouple: With Joe.* BroughtDownToNormal: In the 2001 anime, it's revealed that her powers can be disrupted by sandstorms and such things.* ClingyJealousGirl: Averted in regards to Ixquic, but zigzagged in regards to the diferent incarnations of Helen or Helena. i.e., the SF Roman novel of 1978 had her ''very'' jealous of Helena [[spoiler: but she turns out to be BrainwashedAndCrazy]], the manga version of the Mythos arc had her captured by Gaia so ay thoughts on Helen weren't shown, the manga rendition of the Yomi arc had her ''not'' taking her jealousy on Helen but being passive-aggressive to 009 instead, and in the 2001 anime she's jealous but quicky denies it when 002 brings it up [[spoiler: and mourns Helen the most when she and her sisters are murdered.]]* DanceBattler: Well shown in the 68 series, where she kicks ass [[KickingAssInAllHerFinery in an ornate ballerina outfit]] while hearing [[HiddenWeapons ballet shoes with hidden blades]].* ElectronicEyes: They become even more detailed in the 2012 film. [[spoiler: She also gets new, upgraded ones temporarily in the manga version of "God's War", but well... see EyeScream.]]* [[spoiler: EyeScream: Gets her eyes ripped out in the "Conclusion: God's War" manga. She's outfitted with new ones, but comes to hate them and after she crosses the DespairEventHorizon, she tears ''those'' ones out after a while, and spends the rest of the arc completely blind.]]* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: When she ''is'' a blonde, anyway.* IJustWantToBeNormal: Goes through this early on; later [[CharacterDevelopment transitions to]] [[IJustWantToBeSpecial I Just Want To]] [[WhatKindOfLamePowerIsHeartAnyway Have More Pro-Active Powers]]. [[spoiler:Mainly appears in the [[WholeEpisodeFlashback episode detailing Gilmore]]'s {{Backstory}} in the 2001 anime, where she's suddenly thrown into battle without advice and, naturally, the poor woman has a FreakOut.]]* MissionControl: She works best with Ivan and Gilmore, as her ability isn't suited for direct battle.* PluckyGirl: Despite her insecurities, she very rarely gives into despair. * TheChick: Though she's more outspoken than the standard.* TeamMom: Not only to Ivan and Jet (the youngest members of the cast, at least physically), but to everyone in the team. Lampshaded more than once, and specially [[spoiler: in Compu-Utopia, "Sphynx"/Carl has ''huge'' MommyIssues and is so attracted to Francoise's motherly beauty/behavior that he abducts her to make her his puppet girlfriend.]]* WhatKindOfLamePowerIsHeartAnyway: Portrayed ''very'' realistically, since having to watch the guys fight - and nearly get themselves killed at times - left Francoise feeling helpless at times and nearly sent her into a HeroicBSOD once or twice. Didn't prevent her CrowningMomentOfAwesome, though... [[spoiler:The original DownerEnding turned this into outright BlessedWithSuck that only made the [[TearJerker Tear Jerking]] ''worse'', since the anime version added a scene with her ''sensing Joe burning up'' and bursting into tears.]]* WrenchWench: In the 2001 series, apparently thanks to her enhancements. [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome Which let her dismantle a biological bomb on her own]]. The episode "Gilmore's Notes" also describes her as having been an electronic engineering student, although this reference was removed in the English dub.----[[quoteright:176:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/cyb004_8594.jpg]]!!'''Albert Heinrich''', aka Cyborg 004.->Voiced by: Hiroshi Otake (early films and early appearances in the '68 series) Kenji Utsumi ('68 series, episode 18 and on), Creator/KeatonYamada (1979 series and 1980 film), Richard Nieskins (1980 film- English dub), Creator/NobuoTobita (2001 series), Creator/PeterDoyle (2001 series- English dub; credited as "Jim Taggert") Creator/NobutoshiCanna (2009 CD dramas), Creator/ToruOkawa (2012 movie), Dave B.

His terribly [[SurvivorGuilt tragic past]] doesn't help much, either.* ArmCannon: He has [[FingerFirearms gun barrels for fingers]] on one hand; he has to hide this by wearing gloves and long sleeves at all times. For bonus points, there's a knife on the side of his ''other'' hand, and he has [[LegCannon Knee Cannons]], too. And in some versions [[note]](a throwaway reference in the Mythos arc, in "The Legend of the Super Galaxy", and in "God's War")[[/note]], the guy even has ''a nuclear bomb'' in his stomach.** The 2012 movie adds to this by pointing out that most of his weapons are costly and difficult to resupply, as they're either custom-made for him or no longer used.** The two '60s Toei films gave him further firepower by giving him the ability to split his forearms off and fire missiles from his elbows, to go along with his knee missiles. That continuity also has it so that both of his hands can fire bullets [[spoiler: and eventually, this carries over as a plot point in "God's War"]].*** The Archaia graphic novel gives their version of Albert the elbow cannons from the Toei films, to further amp up his power set.* AdaptationalAttractiveness: Compare his appearance in the early 1960s manga and anime (bowl haircut, pointed nose, narrow jaw) to his appearance in the 2012 film (in which he looks like a silver-haired Daniel Craig). See Art Evolution below.* AdaptationDyeJob: Received reddish-brown hair in the early anime films, as opposed to his iconic silver haired look. Although, [[EarlyInstallmentWeirdness Ishinomori himself didn't consistently depict Albert with silver hair at first either]], with him appearing with light brown or blond hair in the occasional colorspread (which leads to some wondering if [[HairColorDissonance the silver may be a stylization choice]]). Even some of the color pages included in Kodansha's full-color edition and the deluxe re-releases of the manga depict him with noticeably strawberry blond hair, as did the original color printing of "Emergency Simulation 1992" (the final one-shot for the series that was drawn by Ishinomori).* [[spoiler: AnArmAndALeg: His right leg is severed in "Conclusion: God's War", and he gets both arms ripped off. When he's upgraded by Gilmore, both his arms become more obviously metallic and bear bullet-firing hands. In the light novel version, he has both gun hands at the start but gets them replaced with upgraded ones.]]* ArtEvolution: Started out with a shorter bowl cut hair style, as well as having a pointier nose that could nearly rival Jet's (this was carried over to the '60s films and '68 series and even taken UpToEleven with its size at times). His hair style changed over the course of the manga, and his nose was altered to a more aquiline shape. His facial structure was also changed from elongated and pointy to him having a more rounded or squared off jaw. ** In the 1985 "The People Drifting Between Space and Time" story arc, he briefly got an updated, longer hair style, but this went away by the time of the final one-shot for the series. Ishinomori's concept art for "God's War" also depicted a longer-haired Albert, although this didn't carry through to the eventual manga.* ArtificialLimbs: Goes hand-in-hand with the above. His body is the most obviously reconstructed of the lot. In one episode, an underwater shoot-out with a horde of [[ItMakesSenseInContext enemy jellyfish]] leaves everyone ''but'' him paralyzed: as only the brain and the spinal cord remain, his body isn't organic enough to suffer from the venom. He does get a fake skin covering later on in the manga, though, which is briefly witnessed in the "Aphrodite" arc when he's able to wear a short-sleeved shirt. His flesh gloves also get witnessed in both versions of "Compu-Utopia".* [[spoiler: BackFromTheDead: At the end of "Legend of the Super Galaxy", due to Joe subconsciously wishing him back to life after entering the Vortex.]]** [[spoiler: BroughtDownToNormal: Joe's wish caused Albert to be resurrected as a normal human man. But Albert opts to be turned back into a cyborg, giving up his humanity once again, realizing that he had enjoyed being part of the 00 cyborg team.]]* BigBrotherMentor: Towards Francoise, Jet and Joe. [[spoiler: He also pulls Pyunma out of an HeroicBSOD after his last upgrade.]]* BladeBelowTheShoulder: His aforementioned knife hand.* BodyHorror: Unlike most of the other cyborgs, he lacks a human-looking body, being conspicuously cybernetic from the neck down (when not wearing his flesh camouflage). In the 2001 anime, they go as far as to state that the only organic things that could be saved of his original body would be his brain and spinal cord.** The 1979 series, the story "Invisible Strings", and a promotional trailer for the 2001 version (with the shot based off the one from "Invisible Strings") show that even his facial structure is mechanical, and the anatomy chart for the "Legend of the Super Galaxy" artbook also agrees upon him being the most modified.* CartwrightCurse: If you're attracted to him, well, good luck. His love interests, such as Hilda, Vena, the Mount Vesuvius woman, and Iere, almost invariably end up dead or doomed. The few ones who survive (like Leena from the '79 series and FilleFatale Nana from the manga) will either be [[BreakTheCutie broken]] or [[BrokenBird come pre-broken]].* CreepyGood: He had a dark personality in earlier incarnations, such as the manga and the 1980 ''Legend of the Super Galaxy'' movie. Averted in the 2001 series, which softened his personality considerably. See Depending on the Writer below.* CyberneticsEatYourSoul: Majorly {{Subverted}}, though he has difficulty remembering this at times. [[spoiler:Highlighted when he faces off against a Robotic EvilTwin in the 2001 series.]]* DeathSeeker: He displays this attitude in first half of the 1980s film, due to his angst over not being able to die with Hilda. * DependingOnTheWriter: In the manga and the earlier anime adaptations, Albert's angst over his and the others's situations was channeled differently. Instead of being [[LighterAndSofter quiet and thoughtful]] like in the 2001 series, he went for the snark and a very ruthless and bitter KnightInSourArmor attitude, sometimes coupled with a DeathSeeker streak.** Just how much organic parts and functions he has left can vary upon the incarnation, and even Ishinomori seemed to vary on that matter. * FourIsDeath: In the manga he is labeled "God of Death" (''shinigami'' [[note]]Which can also be translated as "Grim Reaper" in some contexts[[/note]])* GermanicDepressives: Comes from his past as an EastGermany runaway.* GlasgowGrin: Not a literal example, but because of the art style, his smile stretches across his whole face. Thanks to this, his smiles are sometimes [[SlasherSmile quite]] [[http://media.tumblr.com/7ac4162efd09be52aa6f6687da43c560/tumblr_inline_mrn75iz6dr1qz4rgp.png frightening]].* [[spoiler: HalfTheManHeUsedToBe: In the light novel version of "God's War", he becomes incapacitated by being stomped on and ripped in half (before the sequence with his sacrifice). The manga version toned this down to his legs being stomped on, rendering him crippled.]]* HeartbrokenBadass: He's a walking death machine, yet he's got a ''very'' DarkAndTroubledPast that mostly involves a woman.* HeroicBuild: In the 2001 anime, his cybernetic body has an exaggerated and stylized masculine appearance, as seen [[http://img.photobucket.com/albums/1003/mariko_azrael/cyborg009screencaps/manormachine.jpg in the upgrade scene in the "Man Or Machine" episode]].* [[spoiler: HeroicSacrifice: Dies in "Legend of the Super Galaxy", when he stays behind to fight Zoa's troops and the bomb inside him detonates (due to gun shots breaching his body). He gets better at the end, due to Joe temporarily gaining the ability to alter reality from having entered the Vortex. However, some cuts of the film had his resurrection removed.]]** [[spoiler: A similar circumstance happens in "Conclusion: God's War". After 007 astral-projects to possess an angel and flies a severely wounded and crippled 004 to a secluded place, 004 insists upon staying behind and detonating the bomb inside his body, in a last-ditch effort to wipe out the creatures they've spent the arc fighting against.]]* ILetGwenStacyDie: Hilda's death deeply traumatized him.* TheMentor: Occasionally. Supplemental materials establish that his day job in the 2012 movie is "''GSG-9 Trainer'' of all things (apparently because his built-in weapons are all difficult to restock, meaning he can't fight on the front line like he used to).* MonochromaticEyes: His eyes are completely white in the manga and earlier versions of the anime. In the 2001 series, his eyes have light blue sclera and dark blue irises with no pupils. These eyes are not merely a side-effect of him being a cyborg, however, as he's depicted with blank eyes in his backstory [[spoiler: and as a human at the end of "Legend of the Super Galaxy" and "God's War"]]. It has more to do with Ishinomori's stylistic choice.* MundaneUtility: The blade embedded in his left hand is very useful in combat. It also comes in handy when preparing food.* NumberTwo: He's the second most effective Cyborg in combat on the team after 009. A good indication (in the 2001 Series) of whether or not 009 is fighting the Villain single-handily is to check whether or not 004 is still standing.* ShirtlessScene: ''Lots'' of them in the '01 version. Not so much in the manga, due to his entirely metal body. The only time he takes off his shirt in the manga is when he console Pyunma after his upgrade.** He also gets one in the 1979 series, although his body is depicted with flesh (or a camouflage layer), rather than being outwardly metal.* ProgressivelyPrettier: In the early issues of the manga, he's decidedly odd-looking, with a bowl haircut, pointed nose, and narrow jaw. Over time, the manga's {{art evolution}} produced a more normal-looking 004.* SayMyName: "HIIIIIILDAAAAAA!!!!"* SilverFox: A little on the young side for this - he's anywhere from his late 20s (specifically 28) to 30, depending on the adaptation. Other than that, however...* TheSmartGuy: Of the GeniusBruiser variety.* StepfordSnarker: In several adaptations, he's snarky and sarcastic to hide his survivor's guilt over Hilda's death.* SugarAndIcePersonality: His 2001 incarnation has this trait.* TragicKeepsake: His [[StuffedIntoTheFridge dead girlfriend]] [[TheGwenStacy Hilda's]] ring. [[spoiler:Turns out it [[MementoMacGuffin comes in handy]] while fending off 0011 with a half-paralyzed body.]]* TraumaCongaLine: He's in his late twenties to early thirties when the series begins in the early 1960s. Do the math, and this means that he would have been a child during the UsefulNotes/NaziGermany days. Thus, during the formative years of his life, he would have witnessed the Third Reich[[note]]and almost surely been made a member of the Hitler Jugend[[/note]], UsefulNotes/WorldWarII, and Germany's devastation by Allied forces. ''Then'' he would have endured all the indignities of Communist rule in EastGermany. ''Then'' the creation of the Berlin Wall would have prevented him from easily leaving East Germany. ''Then'' he sustained life-threatening injuries and watched his beloved Hilda die after a botched escape attempt from East Germany. ''Then'' he was kidnapped by Black Ghost and transformed into a [[BodyHorror cybernetic war machine]]. Which, in the 2001 anime, also includes having said cybernetic war machine body '''fail on him''' (right after he sort-of found three friends that were able to understand his plea, too!) and then being frozen alongside said friends for ''at least'' 30 years.* UnstoppableRage: Normally a level-headed guy, his [[http://media.tumblr.com/1456e561850b27de5b8ba2c1e78e8c4f/tumblr_inline_mr6lrsEqL81qz4rgp.png anger is terrifying]].* WhatMeasureIsANonHuman: Is the one with more modifications, since his body was horribly torn in the explosion that killed Hilda. In the 2001 series he sometimes worries about it ''very'' much, specially in "Compu Utopia" and "[[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Man or Machine?]]". That version further shows that originally his brain and spinal cord rejected his "enhancements", making him collapse ''in the middle of testing'' while he was trying to help the also just-cyborgized Francoise and Jet; this caused Black Ghost to shut down the cyborg project for '''40''' years until technology caught up to solve the problem.----[[quoteright:188:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/cyb005_6997.jpg]]!!'''Geronimo Junior''', aka Cyborg 005.->Voiced by: Hiroshi Masuoka (early films and 1968 series), Creator/BanjoGinga (1979 series and 1980 film), Frank Rogers (1980 film- English dub), Creator/AkioOhtsuka (2001 series), Creator/BeauBillingslea (2001 series- English dub, credited as "John Daniels"), Creator/RyuzaburoOtomo (2009 CD dramas), Teruyuki Tanizawa (2012 movie), Creator/PatrickSeitz (2012 movie - English dub), Tsuyoshi Koyama (''Cyborg 009 vs. Devilman''), Creator/KeithSilverstein (''Cyborg 009 vs. Devilman'' - English dub); Santiago Gil (1967's "Monster Wars" - Latin American Spanish dub), Enrique Cervantes (2001 series - Latin American Spanish dub), Rafael Quijano (2012 movie - Latin American Spanish dub), Creator/KenjiNomura (''Call of Justice'' film trilogy).A mature, wise, very gentle Native American who was basically transformed into a [[StoneWall walking tank]], with [[SuperStrength superhuman strength]] and [[MadeOfIron endurance]] unmatched by any of his teammates. In the 2001 series, he also possesses a bond with nature that [[MagicalNativeAmerican isn't one of his Black Ghost-given powers]].* AdaptationalAttractiveness / ArtEvolution: In the manga and most of the anime adaptations, he has a mohawk haircut and facial markings. In the 2012 film, he has a full head of hair, a more youthful appearance, and an absence of facial markings.** He also debuted in the manga with a slightly less bulkier physique and his height difference wasn't as pronounced. As Ishinomori continued drawing him, he got taller and much more muscular. His pupils also tended to not be drawn in at some points.* [[spoiler: AnArmAndALeg: Gets his right leg ripped off during the climactic battle in "Conclusion: God's War", courtesy of the giant Buddha.]]* ArchaicWeaponForAnAdvancedAge: Even thou he carries a laser gun like the rest of his team, he mostly gets his way through by ''throwing rocks'' at everything. * {{Badass}}: When he gets to fight, his powers let him plow through quite a bit of mooks.* BigBrotherMentor: To Francoise and Joe, to a degree.* FacialMarkings: Standard in all adaptations except for the 2012 movie, where they only appear when he's cutting loose and using his strength to the fullest.* FriendToAllLivingThings* GeniusBruiser ''and'' GentleGiant: On one hand he's very thoughtful and calm while still fighting like a beast. On the other he's very kind to everyone as long as they're not fighters.* LittleGuyBigBuddy: 005 is the big buddy, 001 is the little guy. * MadeOfIron: One of his powers is listed as having armored skin.* MagicalNativeAmerican: In the 2001 series, he shows a considerable empathy with nature that wasn't part of his upgrades.* TheQuietOne: If he does talk, it's usually something profound.* SuperStrength: In the 2001 series, Ivan estimates him to be "as strong as a thousand men."* TalkingTheMonsterToDeath: Normally TheQuietOne, he pulls this off against [[spoiler:The Spirit of the Earth]].----[[quoteright:175:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/cyb006_3124.jpg]]!!'''Chang Changku''', aka Cyborg 006.->Voiced by: Arihiro Fujimura (early films- 1966, 1967), Creator/IchiroNagai (1968 series), Sanji Hase (1979 series and 1980 film), Jeff Manning (1980 film- English dub), Creator/{{Chafurin}} (2001 series), Creator/SteveKramer (2001 series- English dub), Creator/KozoShioya (2009 CD dramas), Taro Masuoka (2012 movie), Michael Sorich (2012 movie - English dub), Yu Mizushima (''Cyborg 009 vs. Devilman''), Joey Lotsko (''Cyborg 009 vs. Devilman'' - English dub); Arturo Mercado Sr. (1967's "Monster Wars" - Latin American Spanish dub), Pedro D'Aguillon Jr (2001 series - Latin American Spanish dub), Bernardo Rodríguez (2012 movie - Latin American Spanish dub), Creator/MitsuakiMadono (''Call of Justice'' film trilogy).A cheerful [[ChinesePeople Chinese chef]] who was given the ability to [[PlayingWithFire shoot fire out of his mouth]]. He uses his considerable cooking skills to [[TheHeart keep the team together]] ''and'' [[TeamChef well-fed]], as well as providing a fair amount of the [[PluckyComicRelief comic relief]] [[ThoseTwoGuys alongside 007]].* AsianBuckTeeth: Seen with these in the earlier anime adaptations.* ChefOfIron: Worth noting that he doesn't mix cooking with combat, though.* [[spoiler: CruelAndUnusualDeath: In ''Conclusion: GOD'S WAR'', he has snakes forced through his nostrils and down his throat by Shiva- causing him to graphically explode from the inside out, scattering his organs and traumatizing his teammates.]]* DrivenToSuicide: His original backstory in the manga had him attempting to hang himself after reaching the DespairEventHorizon, but Black Ghost agents saved him before he could successfully do so. Subsequent adaptations removed this for being too dark, but the Archaia novel kept it.* EyesAlwaysShut: They usually resemble a pair of "3"s. He does open them at points throughout the anime and manga, although sometimes Ishinomori depicted his very pupils as "3" symbols in the later chapters. In the '60s anime works, they vary between having sclerae or being BlackBeadEyes.* GagNose: Even carries over to his RE: self, to an extent.* MundaneUtility: Uses his firebreathing to cook.* PlayingWithFire: He can breathe torrents of fire that are hot as 3,000 degrees. [[spoiler:In ''Conclusion: GOD'S WAR'', Ivan gives him a psychic upgrade in the form of pyrokinesis]].* PluckyComicRelief: Though unlike G.B., he does it completely straight without covering for any personal tragedy - he really is just that cheerful! Then again, considering what he had gone through right before being kidnapped, he likely sees being a 00 Cyborg as a sort-of "improvement"* StealthPun: He can use his powers to tunnel through rock. That's right, he's a Chinese Fire Drill.* TeamChef: And TeamDad. ''And'' TeamMom.** It's a constant throughout all adaptations that he's a SupremeChef (with Chinese cuisine, anyway). He even runs a worldwide chain of restaurants in the 2012 movie and during the beginning of the '79 series.* VitriolicBestBuds: With G.B.----[[quoteright:183:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/cyb007_5188.jpg]]!!'''Great Britain''' (or 'G.B.' in the 2001 english dub), aka Cyborg 007.->Voiced by: Creator/MachikoSoga (early films and 1968 series), Kaneta Kimotsuki (1979 series and 1980 film), James Keating (1980 film- English dub), Creator/YuichiNagashima (2001 series), Michael Sorich (2001 series- English dub), Creator/KeiichiNanba (2009 CD dramas), Creator/HiroyukiYoshino (2012 movie), Creator/JBBlanc (2012 movie - English dub), Creator/HozumiGoda (''Cyborg 009 vs. Devilman''), Tony Azzolino (''Cyborg 009 vs. Devilman'' - English dub); Jorge Sánchez Fogarty (''Kaijuu sensou'' movie - Latin American Spanish dub), Roberto Mendiola (2001 series - Latin American Spanish dub), Héctor Rocha (2012 movie - Latin American Spanish dub), Setsuji Satou (''Call of Justice'' film trilogy).Once one of the best British actors, he was transformed into a ShapeShifting MasterOfDisguise who could transform into anything simply by touching his bellybutton. He frequently plays a LargeHam to entertain the others and distract them from [[ContemplateOurNavels navelgazing]].* AdaptationalAttractiveness: Gained a more youthful, less cartoony look in the more realistic style of the 2012 film and the Archaia graphic novel, although some fans may feel that he might look a little too much younger.* [[spoiler: AnArmAndALeg: Loses his left arm via the giant Buddha in the climax in "Conclusion: God's War".]]* AttackOfThe50FootWhatever: Uses this against a stampede of mutated animals in "Monster Island". Doubles as FullFrontalAssault as he's either naked (manga) or in a LoinCloth (2001 series)* TheAtoner: Tries to be this in "The Fog of London" episode of the 2001 series. [[spoiler:He was supposed to act with his girlfriend Sophie in a small theater, but he ditched it for a greater acting chance. Twenty years later, he finds out that Sophie's daughter Rosa is acting in a revival of exactly the same play...]]* {{Backstory}}: In all continuities, he's a former actor, but the details behind his fall from the spotlight vary:** '60s series: A FormerChildStar who's still JustAKid when Black Ghost decides to use him in their experiments.** '79 series: Used to go hiking in the mountains with his best friend, a fellow actor named Henry Brown. During one of their trips, however, equipment failure led to Henry [[DeathByFallingOver falling to his death.]] Since this happened shortly after Henry had gotten a lead role over the future 007, [[TheCorpseStopsHere everyone assumed he'd killed him]] [[GreenEyedMonster out of jealousy]]. Unable to [[ClearMyName clear His name]] and reeling from the loss, he descended into depression and became a drunkard.** 2001 series: Started out in a small theater with his close friends and his girlfriend, Sophie. [[spoiler:As they were preparing to perform "Mists of London", he received an offer to act at a prestigious theater; though he was reluctant at first, Sophie encouraged him to go. He became a great actor, but left his old friends and flame behind in the process.

The child form was mainly used as SleepModeSize after its introduction.* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: In the 2001 anime, he fell in love with a rich lady [[spoiler: who was revealed to be Cyborg 0012 and a member of Black Ghost]]. Even after TheReveal, he kept defending her actions and is still willing to act as her KnightInShiningArmor in the end.* GrandTheftMe: [[spoiler:In the 2012 manga and its OVA adaption, Ivan gives G.B. a psychic upgrade in the form of possession, in where he astrally projects himself into the body of a living being and takes control of them.]]* JamesBondage: Mainly in the original manga and '79 series, where his attempts to spy on the enemy often went awry. He was more savvy in the 2001 one.* MagicPants: [[ZigZaggingTrope Zig-Zagged]] in the original manga, where he had to strip out of his clothes before transforming, but usually got to keep his underwear. All later adaptions let him stay dressed.* MasterOfDisguise: Uses his abilities like this. His acting skills are very helpful, too.** The 2012 version upgrades this to full-on ChameleonCamouflage. (And yes, his eyes are still the first thing to reappear.)* MorphicResonance: Tends to keep his distinctive eyes while transformed, except when playing BodyDouble.* PluckyComicRelief: Seems to use it to cover for his painful backstory, as he's easily the most cynical 00-Number.* RubberMan ''and'' VoluntaryShapeshifting: His powers. He can use this to ''crush a man to death'' in the 2012 movie. He also uses these powers in the Cyborg 009 vs. Devilman OVA, and boy oh boy [[TookALevelInBadass was it awesome to see]]!* SadClown: With a very, ''very'' [[DarkAndTroubledPast complex]] and [[TearJerker sad backstory]]. ** StepfordSmiler: Behind his clownish and [[LargeHam dramatic]] front is a guilt-ridden and emotionally broken man.* [[StageNames Stage Name]]: Depending on the adaptation. * SmartPeopleSpeakTheQueensEnglish* TheMindIsAPlaythingOfTheBody: Subverted. He's so good a stage actor that it seems like he's become the person he's shapeshifted into, but on the inside it's still G.B..* VerbalTic: In the '79 series, he'd interject the proper animal sounds while in a matching form, such as meowing as a cat or crying as a bird.----[[quoteright:159:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/cyb008_9164.jpg]]!!'''Pyunma''', aka Cyborg 008.->Voiced by: Kenji Utsumi (early films- 1966, 1967), Creator/KeiichiNoda (1968 series), Creator/KojiTotani (1979 series), Creator/KazuyukiSogabe (1980 film), Clay Lowrey (1980 film- English dub), Creator/MitsuoIwata (2001 series), Mario L.

[[FacialProfiling "special" design]] in the manga, and both the '60s anime adaptations and '79 series (although he was colored purple in the last example). And if an early pitch trailer is to be believed, he would've been drawn in the same way in the 2001 series. Thankfully he was given a more regular, less caricaturised design in ''Legend of the Super Galaxy'', as well as in a 1992 one-shot by Ishinomori called "Emergency Simulation 1992".

However, in the 2007 anime [[spoiler:he's a resurrected Hayato Mikogami, who is also the second Skull Man and the father of Joe Shimamura/009, though as mentioned below it's up to debate whether it's canon to any incarnation of 009 or not]].* FallenHero: Not shown in the anime, but within the larger Ishinomori-verse, Black Ghost is revealed to be [[spoiler:A resurrected Hayato Mikogami, also known as the second Manga/SkullMan, in the epilogue of the 2007 Skull Man anime. He's also revealed to be Joe Shimamura's ''father.'']] It's questionable if this could be canon to any incarnation of 009 or is simply a reference exclusive to this source, however (as [[spoiler: Joe was intended to be biracial, and it was a key point in how he had been bullied as a child]]).* KillItWithFire: How he kills off any minion [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness who has failed him]]. And '''''OH GOD''''' is it brutal. No matter how he does it, you have to watch those poor guys be killed ''onscreen''; one episode fired multiple lasers at a couple of scientists responsible for 0013, and the result has you looking at their charred corpses.* LukeIAmYourFather: [[spoiler:Revealed to be the father of 009 in the 2007 Skull Man anime, though again, how canon is it is disputed]].* MaskPower* SadisticChoice: His modus operandi.* SmugSnake: And OH WOW does Creator/NorioWakamoto play this side of him up.* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Is his ''name'' Scarl, or is his ''alias'' Skull? "Gilmore's Notes" also shows an instance of the name "Skarle", while the Archaia continuity renders his name as "Sekar". The Tokyopop manga also called him "Scar".* StrawNihilist: In the 2001 episode "The Escape", he believes that both the world and everything in it are only tools for him to use and discard at anytime.* VillainBall: In the 2001 series, if he hadn't decided to ''capture'' the 00 Cyborgs to study how they got their abilities instead of ''killing'' them, he wouldn't have gotten his ass kicked. Honestly, considering the 00 Cyborgs' track record, killing them would've been a far better choice.* VillainDecay: In the 2001 series. Towards the end, his [[TheDragon Dragon]] Klaus Von Bogoot is the one who looks more badass.** The '60s anime continuity also did this to him, where they had his equivalent "Skull Mask" as only one minor villain of Black Ghost. He wasn't even the BigBad in the earlier '60s films, either.* WarForFunAndProfit: Also his modus operandi.

In contrast, his anime counterpart has silver hair and red eyes, along with a ghostly pale face.

In the anime, it's a deep burgundy color.* AloofDarkHairedGirl - Her hair is burgundy, but she fits personality-wise almost perfectly.* BrokenBird* DubNameChange: Had her name changed to be '''Mai''' in the English dub and other adaptations that used its scripts. This might have been due to the awkwardness of her name being pronounced "me".* EmotionlessGirl: In the beginning.* {{Expy}}: Of an "in name only" type. She takes her name and part of her appearance from a manga character that appeared in "The People Drifting Through Space and Time", but other than that, she was heavily revamped. [[spoiler: Her manga self was a time-traveler from the Jomon period of Japan that was sent to kill Joe, but developed feelings for him instead.]]* [[spoiler: HeelFaceDoorSlam]]* MonochromaticEyes: Has eyes identical to Albert's in the '01 anime.

Whom he secretly murdered.]]* CoolShades: [[spoiler: In the '01 anime, they mask a very creepy pair of MonochromaticEyes.]]* {{Expy}}: Had his design and some elements ''very'' loosely imported from a manga character who was only known as "The Commander" [[spoiler: and who was a distant descendant of 009 and 003]].* FakingAmnesia: He actually got his memories way back before the rest. [[spoiler: Even before killing Nichol.]]* [[spoiler:KarmicDeath: The one who defeated and killed him?

However, [[TheDogBitesBack the girls decide to rebel themselves]]... And yes, they're quintuplets. Look at the color of their tiara jewels to distinguish them.In the manga, there is little personality difference between Aphro, Dinah, and Daphne, with all three acting in unison. In the anime, they were given minor personality and motivational differences: Aphro is more outspoken, Dinah is a Nicegirl, and Daphne is a BrokenBird.[[spoiler:Sadly, the ''five'' girls are coldly killed by Von Bogoot towards the end of the arc. [[TearJerker Many tears were shed by the fandom]].]]!!'''Helen'''->Voiced by: Creator/YukiMasuda, Creator/MichelleRuff (English dub, as "Georgette Rose"), Karla Falcon (2001 series - Latin American Spanish dub)The eldest of the girls, red tiara. Innocent and insecure, but for rather dark reasons: [[spoiler: She has been mindwiped by Von Bogoot, who uses her as TheMole to discover where the Cyborgs live and [[AllYourBaseAreBelongToUs destroy their HQ]]. In the '01 anime adaptation, he commits the ''big'' mistake of abandoning Helen to her luck once this is accomplished; that causes an horrified Vena, who used their TwinTelepathy to see through Helen's mind and tell him info, to double-cross him instead.]]* AdaptationDyeJob: Has blonde hair in the manga color pages[[note]]save for an apocryphal digitally-colored cover in Media Factory's manga release that gave her purple hair[[/note]], but became a redhead in the anime. The same applies to Vena and her other sisters.* IdenticalStranger: Bears an uncanny resemblance to Helena, of the Mythos cyborgs. This is emphasized in some adaptations, where Helen and Helena become a CompositeCharacter. Tokyopop's translation even altered a line said by Joe when he discovers her, to have him say "Hey! I remember you!" (In the original, he was only telling Helen to "hang in there!").* LaserGuidedAmnesia: In the manga, she's not only mindwiped, but seems to have had her very memories altered. She's insistent that she's an only child and can't possibly have a twin, when the team expresses suspicion of seeing a "second Helen" (Vena).* MysteriousWaif* ShrinkingViolet* TwinTelepathy* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: [[spoiler:Twice, in the '01 anime adaptation.

Vena does so anyway and they join the Cyborgs.]] She and 004 fight a lot because he doesn't trust her intentions, but they ultimately bond over their wish to be free, change their destinies and give their people a better life.* AgeLift: Is the eldest sister in the English dub, while Helen's the youngest.* BigSisterInstinct: She was more or less loyal, until [[spoiler:Von Bogoot wanted Helen to die, in the case of the anime.]] In the manga, she initially appears to remain loyal to Black Ghost even through the team's trip to Yomi and is responsible for a good deal of the team being captured- but then reveals to 004 that she was a triple agent, only pretending to be loyal to Black Ghost because she valued her sisters.* BrokenBird* [[spoiler: DiedInYourArmsTonight: 004's]]** [[spoiler: DiesWideShut: He also closed her eyes when she kicked it.]]* HeroicBSOD: [[spoiler:Has a severe one when Helen and several of the Cyborgs are brainwashed by the Zattan and almost kill 004 and her. It gets worse when she and 004 are captured by Von Bogoot and about to be executed. She ''does'' recover, but just in time to be killed off with her sisters.]]* PluckyGirl* ShipTease: Had quite a bit of chemistry with 004, once they came to trust each other more.** BirdsOfAFeather: This is because they could sympathize with each other's plights and desire for a better world.* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Veena, Beena, Vina, or Bina? Tokyopop's translation confused things more by opting to call her "Venus". What complicates the matter is that her other sisters appear to have a Greco-Roman naming theme going on, which indicates that her name ''could'' be inspired by "Venus" (which would be rendered "'''Bina'''su" in katakana), leading to other possible spellings given by fans like "Venu" and "Vena".* {{Tomboy}}: In the anime, she's the only sister who wears pants, opting to wear a blue bodysuit. In the manga, she wears a yellow coat and dress.* TwinTelepathy: Can use her and her sisters' psychic bond to see what the other girls can see and know what they think.!!'''Aphro'''->Voiced by: Creator/YukiMasuda, Creator/KariWahlgren (English dub), Creator/RossyAguirre (2001 series - Latin American Spanish dub)Third-eldest sister, green tiara. In the anime, she's the most outspoken and strongwilled, and acts as the leader of the girls when Vena's not around.* ArmorPiercingSlap: Has a ''mean'' backhand [[note]]Meanwhile in the manga, it's Von Bogoot that delivers such a slap to Dinah, when he discovers that she, Daphne, and Aphro have betrayed him.[[/note]]* PluckyGirl* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Had her name slightly altered to "Aphros" for the English dub and other adaptations that utilized the scripts (although it was still pronounced "Aphro").* TwinTelepathy* WhatTheHellHero: [[spoiler:On Daphne in the anime adaptation, when she leaks info to Von Bogoot out of fear.]]* WomanInWhite!!'''Dinah'''->Voiced by: Creator/YukiMasuda, Unknown (English dub), Creator/PatriciaAcevedo (2001 series - Latin American Spanish dub)Second-youngest sister, pink tiara. Quiet and gentle, is a mediator between Daphne and Aphro. And... well, not much more is known.[[spoiler: In the manga, ''she'' is the one initially shown as a mole to Von Bogoot, and Aphro and Daphne are soon discovered to be acting in unison with her.]]* DubNameChange: Overlapping with SpellMyNameWithAnS. Tokyopop translated her name as '''Diana''', and the English anime alternated between calling her Dinah and '''Deena''' (the latter which carried over to the Latin American Spanish dub). As with Vena, there's question if Ishinomori might have intended her name to be "Diana" and made a mistake, or if he'd altered it slightly.* TheHeart* NiceGirl* TwinTelepathy* WomanInWhite!!'''Daphne'''->Voiced by: Creator/YukiMasuda, Mari Devon (English dub, as "Jane Alan"), Rebeca Gómez (2001 series - Latin American Spanish dub)Youngest sister, purple tiara. Very insecure and heavily traumatized by the whole deal. [[spoiler: In the anime, this causes her to betray the sister's plans and give info to Von Bogoot. Too bad Aphro catches her in the act. To be fair to the girl, she ''does'' try to repair the damage done and frees Gilmore and some of the other 00 cyborgs, captured by Von Bogoot...]]* TheAtoner* FragileFlower* [[spoiler:MustMakeAmends: Does her best to fix her BIG fuck up, and succeeds.]]* SpyCatsuit: [[spoiler:Wears one when she frees Gilmore and his group.

[[TheHeart And counsels a dispirited Gilmore while at it]], too.* TheProfessor: ''Nobel'' prize level, according to Gilmore.!!'''Hilda'''->Voiced by: Creator/ChiyokoKawashima (1979 series) Akiko Koike (2001 series), Lia Sargent (2001 series- English dub), Creator/ErinFitzgerald (''Cyborg 009 vs. Devilman'' - English dub), Ariadna Rivas (2001 series - Latin American Spanish dub)Albert's fiancee, who tried to escape from war-torn EastGermany with him. [[TearJerker It didn't end well]]. To make matters worse, it's implied in most versions that they only got caught because Albert forgot to take his wallet back from the guard after showing him his pass. The guard called out, Albert panicked, and... [[SurvivorGuilt Well, the results are obvious]].* AdaptationDyeJob: Blonde in the '79 anime series, brown-haired in "Legend of the Super Galaxy", but given red hair in the 2001 anime (which appears as a light brown in dark settings).* TheCameo: Makes one in ''vs. Devilman'' as one of Lillith's illusions to trick the Cyborgs.* DependingOnTheWriter: While the basic circumstances surrounding her DeathByOriginStory are all the same, the specific ones vary. In the original, she was seen [[{{Narm}} disguised as a lioness in Albert's circus truck]] (but as the male lion in the 1979 series). In the 80's movie, she was Albert's co-pilot. In the 2001 series, she was hiding among the luggage of the truck. The Archaia version had Albert attempt to smuggle her into Germany via airplane, only for it to be shot down.* DependingOnTheArtist: Ishinomori depicted her with short hair in the first and second versions of the origin sequence, but then depicted her with long hair when Albert was forced to recall her death in the "Aztec" arc. The '79 and '01 anime adaptations retained her short hair, while "Legend of the Super Galaxy" (and its tie-in manga by Sugar Sato) depicted her with long hair tied back into a ponytail.* DiedInYourArmsTonight: During a flashback in the 2001 series.* TheLostLenore: To Albert in all incarnations, specifically in the first half of the 1980s film.* GoOutWithASmile: In the 2001 series, she dies in Albert's arms while smiling sweetly and telling him that they're finally free from their former lives.* StuffedIntoTheFridge!!'''Doctor Findor'''->Voiced by: Hiroshi Masuoka (1968 series), Kazuaki Ito (2001 series), Creator/MichaelMcConnohie (2001 series- English dub), Alfonso Ramirez (2001 series, Latn American Spanish dub)A British scientist who was kidnapped and forced to work for Black Ghost. He strived to develop an anti-war machine known as the "Mad Machine". Depending on the continuity, his wife was either shot to death or she'd committed suicide after being disfigured from the after-effects of a bombing.* AdaptationNameChange: Was known as "Doctor Dolphin" in the original manga, although named "Doctor Kozumi" in the 1968 anime adaptation.* HighClassGlass: In the 1968 series. This is to cover for the fact that in the manga, he's missing an eye and is depicted with a scarred eye socket.* ReluctantMadScientist!!'''Cynthia Findor'''->Voiced by: Fuyumi Shiraishi (1968 series), Creator/TomokoKawakami (2001 series), JulieMaddalena (2001 series- English dub), Conny Madera (2001 series - Latin American Spanish dub)The daughter and only remaining relative of Doctor Findor. To keep her father in line, the Black Ghost organization also captures Cynthia some time later and tries to use her as a hostage, but she's rescued by the Cyborgs. She asks them to help her rescue her dad, but is deeply shaken when she discovers what Dr. Findor has been doing...* ActualPacifist* AdaptationNameChange: Her name was "Iruka Dolphin" in the original manga (although [[OrwellianRetcon some reprintings have her renamed "Cynthia"]] ). The first anime series referred to her as "Shizue", while her ''mother'' was named "Cynthia". Her surname (and that of her father) was also "Kozumi" in that version. * AgeLift <- -> VagueAge: [[http://wisnia.tumblr.com/post/83184010164/decided-another-comparison-post-for-a-one-shot As seen here]] she's a young teenager in the manga and in the 1968 series (though the roman Album illustrations make her look like a pre-teen), but an older teen in the 2001 series.* BreakTheCutie: Her childhood,* BrokenBird: As a result, she's perpetually sad and has lost quite a bit of her trust in people.* CallingTheOldManOut: Cynthia does this as she learns that her dad is building [[spoiler:an enormous weapon for Black Ghost to use against the 00 cyborgs]].* DamselInDistress: She can't really be blamed, though.* HairDecorations: Has a pretty pink headband in the 2001 series. In the manga she wears similar bands, but the color isn't clear (the Roman Album has it as white though)* MissingMom: She was shot to death in front of young Cynthia in the 2001 series, hence her staunch pacifism. In the manga, her mother committed suicide due to her grief over being disfigured.* PinkMeansFeminine: In the 2001 series, aside of her headband she has a pink coat and an equally rose-colored pair of boots. In manga illustrations she's dressed in yellow instead, and an illustration in the artbook following the 1968 series style gives her [[TrueBlueFemininity a blue dress]] with [[NiceShoes red boots]].* ReluctantMadScientist's [[MadScientistsBeautifulDaughter Beautiful Daughter]]!!'''Princess Ixquic'''->Voiced by: Creator/SumiShimamoto, Creator/WendeeLee (English dub), Isabel Martiñon (2001 series - Latin American Spanish dub)The guardian of a mysterious pyramid made of gold, along with a robot named Kabrakan. She's very kind and gentle, but also clingy and insecure; to make things worse, Kabrakan often goes in [[UnstoppableRage murderous rampages]] as soon as it sees/senses other people around, and she cannot control its instincts.* AdaptationDyeJob: Had black hair in Ishinomori's original artwork, which the anime interpreted as a deep green (potentially falling under HairColorDissonance for stylization purposes). Prior to this, an artbook that depicted scenes from the manga in the '70s anime style had her hair colored blue.* ClingyJealousGirl: Actually averted. She ''is'' clingy to Joe, but she's too passive to be the jealous type.* EverythingsBetterWithPrincesses: Even when she's not 100% a Princess, but just a guardian.* [[spoiler:FateWorseThanDeath: In the case of the 2001 anime, she can't die since she's a RobotGirl with a huge HealingFactor.

Meanwhile, Mary received the surname of "Onodera" (which was Ishinomori's actual surname, and is also used by his son).* [[spoiler:RedemptionEqualsDeath: In the anime, they can't bring themselves to kill Joe, therefore their BadBoss Von Bogoot [[MoralEventHorizon activates]] [[ExplosiveLeash the bombs implanted in their bodies.]] They [[OhCrap look at each other in utter horror]] as they notice; Shinichi tackles Joe away and tells him to not get close, then they hug and apologize to Joe before being blown up in front of a screaming 009.]]** [[spoiler: HeelFaceDoorSlam: The manga version of the same story plays to this trope more.

In the 2001 episode "Christmas Eve Mirage", Francoise ''believes'' her brother has somehow returned to attack her, but she's under the effects of heavy hallucinations back then.]]* DependingOnTheArtist: Had an uncanny resemblance to Joe when first drawn by Ishinomori, complete with the hair obscuring one eye. By the time of his second and final appearance two decades later, his hair and face were tweaked to lessen the similarities. The '01 anime uses a slightly aged-up version of his first manga design.* PromotionToParent: He had to raise himself and Francoise, which is why he entered the Air Force.* TallDarkAndHandsome* VagueAge: Appears to be in his twenties in the flashback seen in the anime, but in the manga his age is a little more difficult to discern (not helped by the early art style, as well as him having a youthful face and resembling Joe). There is also the two decade-long time skip between Black Ghost and Neo Black Ghost to take into account.!!'''Nana Kashima'''--> Voiced by: Creator/ShizukaIto (2004 CD Drama)A 13-year-old girl that 004 befriends after he saves her from drug dealers.

Her age was raised for the reprints, most likely due to the risque activities she was depicted engaging in (and the fact that she's seen in the nude).* ParentWithNewParamour: Her mom's gone, and her dad's in cahoots with a prostitute. No wonder Nana has a very... odd view of life.* PleaseDontLeaveMe: [[spoiler: Tells that to 004 almost at the end.
