Cybersix is a series of Argentine comics first published in 1992, drawn by Carlos Meglia and written by Carlos Trillo for the Italian comics magazine Skorpio (Eura Editoriale). The series first appeared in Spanish in November 1993. The heroine of the series is the eponymous character, Cybersix (more properly Cyber-6), a leather-clad genetically-engineered superhero, who disguises herself as a male high school literature teacher by day, and battles the monstrous biological weapons of her creator by night.
In 1995, the comics were adapted into a live-action television series, and again in 1999 into a thirteen-episode animated series by TMS/NOA, with positive critical reception from sources like the Pulcinella Awards.
Dr. Von Reichter is a member of the SS and Nazi Party genetic engineer, who works at the concentration camps during World War II, implanting cybernetic organs in the bodies of dead prisoners in an attempt to resurrect them as one of Führer's army. However, after the Allied forces defeated the Nazis, Reichter continues to use experiments at South America.
From one of his experiments emerged the Cyber Series – artificial humanoids possessing superhuman strength and agility. But something was amiss: The 5000 original Cybers, engineered to be the perfect servants, mimicked human emotions too closely, displaying free will of their own. When they disobey orders from Reitcher, he orders all of the Cyber Series to be destroyed. After Cyber-29 died falling from a cliff, Reichter transfers his brain into the body of a panther and names him 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 Reichter interrogates to kill the slave, Cybersix arrives at the city of Meridiana, where she battles Reichter and his minions, and disguises herself as fellow teacher Adrian Seidelman after the real one is killed in a car wreck.
