It's one of the worst comics ever made.

That's a cheap shot, but at this point, there's probably more bad DC Comics with crisis in the title than good ones, or even notable ones.

Yeah, I remember when we all enjoyed taking guesses as to whodunnit in Identity Crisis and buying goofy avatars, only for it all to come crashing down as we found out the reasoning behind the killing was just "bitches be crazy, am I right?". Anyway, I just read HoX/PoX and the first 3 volumes of Dawn of X, after having not read any main continuity X-Men stuff for a long time. I've got questions, but to start with a simple one: Why is Cable young now?

Time travel. That's him way earlier in his timeline. He killed Old Cable, too, for reasons.

Did anyone pick Atom's ex-wife with a flame thrower as a joke only to be proven correct?

Identity Crisis was fun because it spawned the guess avatars which lead the mods to quarantine us in BSS. I'm still sore at you fuckers for starting the guess avatar trend the one night I had to work a double shift.

I had a conversation with a friend where a curious topic came up: despite them being common as hell in anime and manga, we had a genuinely hard time coming up with an example of a cyborg woman anywhere in the big 2's comics. The only ones we could think of were Lady Deathstrike and Spiral, and of course Spiral made Deathstrike. Are there many others? For the purposes of this assessment, a low-key prosthetic would not qualify, but Cable at least sort-of does. Nessus fucked around with this message at 10:22 on May 29, 2020 |

Marvel's Transformers comics had "Circuit Breaker" as one of their few human antagonists; she even inexplicably cameoed in Secret Wars II so Marvel would keep ownership instead of Hasbro.

Do robot women count? There's Danger and that Sentinel chick from X-Men, plus Viv POD is a robot exoskeleton/AI piloted by a woman and their personalities are merged, that's pretty cyborg-ish. I feel like there's some character from either Corsair's group or one of the Shi'ar groups trying to kill them that's a woman with robot legs, but that might also have been a dream from binging too much Claremont and eating a large pizza right before bed.

Ruby Thursday is kind of the inverse of the comic book cyborg- she only replaced her head.

The novel that the Six Million Dollar Man was based on is literally called Cyborg, so it definitely counts.

They introduced basically a female Cyborg the last time Cyborg had a solo series. Wiki doesn't say what happened to her, but either way, she'll never appear again because, come on, it's a Cyborg solo series. Oh, Dethlocket

Sasha Bordeaux was a cyborg for awhile pre-Rebirth via OMAC stuff. Ditto, I may be misremembering what the whole Alpha Lantern thing was all about but Boodikka was turned into one of those as well. A very minor X-Men supporting character, Cylla Markham, was the second Skullbuster for a bit in the 90s, which I remember because she had a pretty striking design and a fun color scheme. Lucia von Barda too. I'm not sure if you'd want to count Omega Sentinels as cyborgs or robots or what but you also have Karima Shapandar (mentioned by Skwirl already), last seen in HoX/PoX I think, and the former X-Force villain Ekatarina Gryaznova, who I, as a child, thought was Girl Deadpool.
