Description
Adrian Seidelman is the daytime alias of Cybersix, the central character of the animated series. Cybersix is an artificial human, an organic android created by the insane geneticist Doctor Von Reichter. She is one of five thousand beings in the Cyber series, distinguished by the cyber 6 tattoo on her left arm. When Von Reichter deemed his creations failures for developing free will and ordered their destruction, Cybersix managed to escape with help from one of the doctor's slaves. She fled to the gloomy coastal city of Meridiana, where she lives under a carefully constructed false identity.
Knowing her creator would hunt for a woman, Cybersix adopted the male persona of Adrian Seidelman, a literature teacher at Meridiana High School. The original Adrian Seidelman died in a car crash, and Cybersix took his place, burying the body and assuming his identity. In this role, she appears as a somewhat strange and flaky young man who wears glasses and keeps his hair tied back, often making excuses to abruptly leave social situations.
Personality-wise, Cybersix is defined by a profound sense of loneliness. As an artificial being, she struggles with feelings of not being truly human, which prevents her from fully embracing the possibility of a normal life or expressing her deep emotions for others. Despite this internal conflict, she is bold, brave, and fiercely determined. By night, she sheds her male disguise to become a caped, leather-clad heroine, described as lanky, athletic, and strong, with a broad-brimmed hat and a long cape lined with red. Her core motivation is twofold: to thwart the criminal ambitions of her creator, Von Reichter, and to simply survive. Like all of his creations, Cybersix requires a glowing green liquid known as Sustenance to live. This substance sickens her, but she must obtain it by draining it from the monsters and creatures that Von Reichter unleashes upon the city, forcing her to constantly confront his forces.
In the narrative, Cybersix serves as the protector of Meridiana, fighting against a variety of threats, most notably Von Reichter's obnoxious clone son, Jose, who is often sent to carry out his father's schemes. Her double life creates the central dramatic tension of the story. Her primary relationships include her bond with her brother, Cyber 29. Although he died, Von Reichter transplanted his brain into the body of a black panther, creating the creature known as Data 7. Data 7 recognizes Cybersix as his sister and becomes her loyal and powerful companion. At school, she befriends biology teacher Lucas Amato, who is unaware of her secret identity. Lucas becomes infatuated with the heroic Cybersix while considering Adrian a close friend, creating a complicated love triangle where Cybersix is both the object of his affection and his confidant. Another key relationship is with her student, Lori Anderson, who develops a crush on Adrian and becomes jealous of Cybersix, though the two eventually develop a mutual respect.
Over the course of the series, Cybersix experiences notable development. While she begins as a solitary figure, a found family slowly builds around her, including Data 7 and the orphaned street child Julian, whose cleverness and optimism provide her with meaningful connections. She gradually learns to trust others more, culminating in a moment where she entrusts her secret to someone by handing over Adrian Seidelman's glasses.
As a fighter, Cybersix possesses a range of notable abilities derived from her artificial creation. She has superhuman strength, agility, and reflexes, making her a skilled acrobat capable of incredible leaps and flips across the city rooftops. She also has enhanced senses, including the ability to see in the dark, and possesses in-built predatory instincts that aid her in combat.
