Bionic Six - Plot

Plot

In the near future (some unspecified decades after 1999), Professor Sharp, head of the Special Projects Labs (SPL), creates a new form of technology to augment humans through bionics. His first subject was Jack Bennett, a test pilot who secretly acted as Sharp's field agent, Bionic-1. On a family ski vacation in the Himalayas, an alien spacecraft triggers an avalanche that buries the entire family, exposing them to the unusual radiation of a mysterious buried object. Jack frees himself but discovers his family in a comatose state. Theorizing that Jack's bionics protected him from the radiation, Professor Sharp implants bionic technology in the others, awakening them. Afterward, the family operates incognito as a publicly lauded team of adventuring superheroes, the Bionic Six.

The primary antagonist of the series is a mad scientist known as Doctor Scarab, along with his gang of henchmen – Glove, Madam-O, Chopper, Mechanic, and Klunk – accompanied by Scarab's legion of drone robots called Cyphrons. Perhaps ironically, Scarab is Professor Sharp's brother. Obsessed with obtaining immortality and ruling the world, Scarab believes that the key to both goals lies in the secret bionic technology invented by his brother, ever plotting to possess it.

Scarab's second in command is Glove, a snide bruiser who wears a blaster glove and longs to assume Scarab's leadership position, yet lacking similar genius. Madame-O is an alluring female who wears a concealing face-mask and uses a harp weapon that emits powerful sonic blasts; though constantly flattering Scarab, her true desires are money and power. Chopper is a muscled goon with a motorcycle-like sputtering speech habit, wielding a long chain as a whip or lasso weapon. Mechanic is a dim-witted brute with an aptitude for engineering, adopting assorted hand tools in combat as makeshift weapons. Klunk is a monstrous creature apparently composed of a glue-like slime, and possessing tremendous physical strength.
