Movie
Description
007, also known as Great Britain, is a cyborg originating from England whose real name remains undisclosed. Before his transformation, he was a renowned and gifted stage actor performing under the name "Great Britain." His career collapsed when he developed a drinking problem, leading to his disgrace and reducing him to a destitute alcoholic. He harbored profound regret for abandoning his girlfriend, Sophie, after achieving fame. Operatives from Black Ghost captured him by exploiting his alcoholism, and he was remade into Cyborg 007, a member of the second generation of cyborgs created roughly four decades after the first.
By activating a switch on his navel, 007 can reshape his cellular structure to assume the form of any person, animal, or object. This power facilitates environmental blending, infiltration of enemy operations, and replication of speech and mannerisms. His background in acting supports this ability, though the impersonations are not always perfect. The shapeshifting extends to elasticity, size alteration, and matter mimicry, enabling him to stretch his limbs, adjust his dimensions, and imitate substances like stone or metal. In certain continuities, such as the OVA "Conclusion: GOD'S WAR," his abilities were enhanced to include astral projection and possession of other beings.
He is characterized by a jolly, good-hearted, and loyal nature, often providing comedy and levity among his fellow cyborgs. Beneath this cheerful exterior, he carries deep remorse for past errors, including his alcoholism, which sometimes resurfaces, and his mistreatment of Sophie. He maintains a love-hate dynamic with Cyborg 006, Chang Changku, yet holds deep respect and trust for him. His chivalrous demeanor is evident in his affection for Cyborg 0012, even after learning of her loyalty to Black Ghost. He frequently quotes literary works, such as those of Shakespeare, in everyday contexts.
Across different media, Cyborg 007 engages in missions against Black Ghost and other adversaries. In the "Cyborg 009 vs. Devilman" OVA, he aids in battles against demons and high-tech foes, employing his shapeshifting for combat and infiltration. The 2001 anime series explored his backstory, including a reunion with Sophie's daughter, Rosa, and his atonement through performing in a play originally meant for him and Sophie. His upgraded abilities contributed to the conflict in "Conclusion: GOD'S WAR." Design and role adjustments have occurred in adaptations, such as his portrayal as a child in 1960s versions to engage younger audiences, though the manga later revised this.
His designation "007" and British origins serve as a tribute to Ian Fleming's James Bond series, echoing his espionage-oriented skills and background.
