Appearance and Personality
The cyborg replica retains all of Noodle's physical characteristics and mannerisms but not her memories or tastes. It is also trained to obey Murdoc's every command. The cyborg gave an interview for the tabloid magazine Us Weekly, in which it revealed that it prefers pop music, unlike the original Noodle's "rock-chick" style. It also claims to enjoy the Twilight films and their starring actor, Robert Pattinson. This further tells of the incomplete nature of the cyborg, as the real Noodle would have rejected both as "False Icons", in accordance with the ideals she spoke of in Rise of the Ogre. Cyborg Noodle first appeared in the music video for the Plastic Beach track "Stylo", where it has been shot multiple times, and shut down shortly after firing upon a police car. The cyborg survives, and Murdoc explains in the Plastic Beach Experience video that she is in constant need of charging whenever not being used. In the documentary that comes with the Experience edition of the album, Jamie Hewlett refers to the cyborg as "Evil Noodle".
In the "Rhinestone Eyes" music video, she is shown hiding behind some palm trees clutching two Uzis as the island is being attacked by the Boogieman and pirates. A small group of collaborators, who seem to be Snoop Dogg and De La Soul, are hiding against a wall. Cyborg Noodle locks eyes with one of the De La Soul members and she is seen smiling. Fluid is seen leaking out of her eye, nose, and mouth, the cause unknown.
Murdoc announced on one of his Pirate Radio shows that Cyborg Noodle went wonky and tried to kill him which led the real Noodle to destroy her.
Often confused with the character Noodle Head, played in real life by Dale Martin.

“The President has paid dear for his White House. It has commonly cost him all his peace, and the best of his manly attributes. To preserve for a short time so conspicuous an appearance before the world, he is content to eat dust before the real masters who stand erect behind the throne.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Fundamentally the male artist approximates more to the psychology of woman, who, biologically speaking, is a purely creative being and whose personality has been as mysterious and unfathomable to the man as the artist has been to the average person.”
—Beatrice Hinkle (1874–1953)
