Description
Cyborg 007, designated GB/007, began as an unidentified British actor who achieved fame before facing ruin due to false accusations of murdering his friend Henry Brown during a hike. Witnessing Henry's fatal fall and failing to prove his innocence led to public disgrace, alcoholism, and homelessness. This vulnerability enabled his abduction by the Black Ghost organization.
Subjected to extensive cybernetic modifications, he gained the ability to reshape his cellular structure via a belly button mechanism, transforming into any object, animal, or person. This power aids stealth, intelligence gathering, and occasional size expansion, though he remains injury-prone while transformed. His abilities later expanded to astral projection for possessing others in "Conclusion: GOD'S WAR."
He maintains a consistently jovial, comedic persona as the 00 Cyborg team's humor source, using jokes to diffuse tension. Beneath this lies profound regret over abandoning his girlfriend Sophie during his fame and trauma from Henry's death. He shares a love-hate dynamic with teammate Chang Changku (Cyborg 006), bickering frequently but trusting him deeply. Chivalrous toward women, he fell for antagonist Cyborg 0012, risking his life to save her despite her Black Ghost allegiance. His acting background surfaces through philosophical musings and Shakespearean quotations.
After Black Ghost's initial defeat, he separated from the team to work at Chang's Tokyo restaurant. His path to redemption included encountering Rosa, Sophie's daughter, who offered him atonement by performing in their planned play "Mists of London," helping him confront past failures. Alcoholism recurs during high-stress events like "London Fogs" and "Conclusion: GOD'S WAR," persisting despite periods of control.
The 2001 anime labels him "second generation" due to modifications occurring ~40 years after the initial cyborg group (001-004), who underwent cryogenic suspension from era-specific technological constraints. Other continuities omit this generational distinction.
