Cyborg 0017, designated Abel, is a young male cyborg engineered by Black Ghost scientist Dr. Adams as part of the High-Teen Number series. His cybernetic enhancements grant cryokinetic abilities to generate and manipulate ice, positioning him as an antagonistic counterpart to Cyborg 006, who commands fire. Dr. Adams’ experiments fused demonic elements with advanced cybernetics to create Abel, reflecting his pursuit of hybridized warriors.

Abel’s childlike demeanor contrasts with his combat role, marked by brash overconfidence and a confrontational streak during battles. His relationship with Cyborg 0016, Cain, subverts their biblical namesakes through a protective bond rather than rivalry. This dynamic intensifies when Azazel retaliates against Abel’s ice attack, redirecting it to bisect him at the waist—an act that provokes Cain’s violent rampage.

As a tactical asset for the High-Teen Numbers, Abel employs his cryokinesis to counter the 00 Cyborgs in alignment with Dr. Adams’ objectives. His abrupt demise during the clash with Azazel underscores the interconnected fates driving the conflict’s escalation.
