Characters
Main article: List of Cyborg 009 characters
Ivan Whisky (イワン·ウイスキー Iwan Uisukī): Cyborg 001
Ivan is a baby originally from Russia, born with a severe illness. His father Gamo (a famous brain surgeon who went mad after searching for a cure), performed numerous brain enhancement processes on Ivan that allowed his mental capacity to far exceed that of a normal human adult, against the wishes of Ivan's mother Erika, who was murdered by Ivan's father. Ivan later fell into the custody of Black Ghost, who dubbed him the first member of the organization's 00-Cyborg program. Ivan's enhanced brain gives him several psychic powers, such as telepathy, telekinesis, and extra-sensory perception. However, he inopportunely falls asleep, sometimes for two consecutive weeks, due to the strain of his powers on his infant body. He was one of the 00 Cyborgs who were frozen until more advanced technology and procedures were developed. While still a pacifier sucking infant, he is talented in scientific analysis and can telepathically converse at an adult level; he may be the most powerful member of his group. His role is to provide the 00 Cyborgs communications, speculation, and last-ditch psychokinetic defense.
Jet Link (ジェット·リンク Jetto Rinku?): Cyborg 002
Jet Link, with his elongated nose and wild, windblown hair, was originally 001 but was replaced by Ivan. Jet comes from The Bronx in the United States and was the leader of the Jets gang in New York's West Side. (In the manga, his character is introduced in a scene that parodies the opening scenes of the movie West Side Story). He was intercepted by Black Ghost members after stabbing a Puerto Rican to death, and was taken away by them to be made into a cyborg later. Jet has jets built into his feet allowing him to fly at speeds of up to Mach 5. He is also equipped with an early form of acceleration module, later refined in 009. Due to malfunctions in his original construction, he was cryogenically frozen for decades before his final form was perfected; although physically about 18, he is actually over 50 years old. He has a brash, street-wise confidence that often conflicts with his peers but nonetheless remains a good-hearted member of the team. He is the group's source of aerial attack and rescue.
Shotaro Ishinomori would later reuse the character design of Jet Link for his manga adaptation of The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. In this manga feature, the character is named Roam and, due to his wandering in the Dark World, is able to transform into a bird-like beast enabling him to fly, making the basis of his character's inspiration unmistakably that of Jet Link.
Françoise Arnoul (フランソワーズ·アルヌール Furansowāzu Arunūru?): Cyborg 003
Françoise was originally a ballerina from Paris, France. Her brother Jean-Paul, a member of the French Air Force, returned to Paris on a one-week leave, and Françoise was to meet him at the train station. However, she was kidnapped by Black Ghost despite numerous attempts by her brother to save her along the way. In the third anime series Black Ghost offers a fake professional dancing career so they can kidnap her. She is the only female member of the team, 003 rarely fights though she will when needed and is often seen either directing the battle under Gilmore's guidance or protecting 001. Her cyborg modifications were in her sight and hearing. She possesses telescopic and x-ray vision along with enhanced hearing, enabling her to perceive activity hundreds of miles away. As well, she is an excellent pilot, tactician and a machine whiz. She was one of the 00 Cyborgs who were frozen until more advanced technology and procedures were developed; she's chronologically in her 50s, being 19 when captured. Her role is reconnaissance, morale and nursing 001.
Albert Heinrich (アルベルト·ハインリヒ Aruberuto Hainrihi?): Cyborg 004
Albert was originally from Germany. He and his fiancée Hilda attempted to escape to West Berlin in the guise of circus members. However, because Albert forgot to retrieve his forged identification from a guard, he panicked and sped off. The border guards opened fire on the truck, injuring Albert and killing Hilda in the process. Black Ghost agents arrived on the scene and lied that they would take Albert to a hospital. One of the first 4 00 Cyborgs, Albert's right fingertips contain small machine guns, his left hand has razor-sharp edges, his lower legs and, on occasion his elbows, are cylinders containing missiles launched from his knees. 004 often has a gruff exterior which belies his friendly personality and disgust with war; aside from his mechanical parts, he possesses blank circular eyes (which may be an artistic flourish rather than a mechanical enhancement). He was the last of the 00 Cyborgs who were frozen until more advanced technology and procedures were made and is chronologically the oldest of the group, being already 30 years old when captured. He appears as a playable character in Street Fighter Online: Mouse Generation. 004's job is usually first-line attack/artillery.
In the 2001 series, upon waking up as a cyborg, Albert was stricken with so much despair that he developed suicidal tendencies. These were worsened by the side effects of his modifications, which caused him additional physical pain and strain. This ultimately forced Black Ghost to halt the cyborg program for decades, and put the existing cyborgs in suspended animation until technology developed far enough to make future cyborg soldiers more stable.

Geronimo Jr. (ジェロニモ·ジュニア Jeronimo Junia?): Cyborg 005
Also called "G-Junior" for short, he was originally from an undisclosed part of the southwest United States. G-Junior is a Native American who was unable to find work because of widespread racism. At age 26, he was approached to be a Native American chief in a sideshow, but G-Junior simply punched the sideshow owner in the face, refusing to further the stereotypes about his culture. Geronimo was the first created when Black Ghost resumed its cyborg soldier program. At around 8 feet tall, he is the strongest as well as the biggest of the 00 Cyborgs; he also has heavily armored skin. However, he is also a silent man with a deep reverence for nature and life, and it's speculated that he may have a sort of sixth sense that allows him to sense changes in the nature and possibly other people's thoughts. He appears as a playable character in Street Fighter Online: Mouse Generation. G.Jr.'s physical strength was estimated in the anime series as "as strong as 50 men" however that is plainly an underestimate as he's capable of lifting battle tanks and punching through solid stone. G-Junior's intense strength and durability make him expert in ground infantry and line defense, usually employing boulders as thrown missiles; his instinctive comprehension of nature makes him a superb tracker.
Chang Changku (張々湖 Chanchanko?): Cyborg 006
The diminutive Chang was originally from China. He was an impoverished Chinese farmer in his early 40s who once owned a pig farm; almost all of his pigs ran away and he was starving and suffering under heavy taxes. Hopeless, Chang decided to end his misery by hanging himself. However, he was "saved" by a bullet from Black Ghost which cut the noose. Chang fainted and was later delivered to the Black Ghost laboratory (In the 2001 series, he owns a restaurant—explaining why he is such a good cook—but burns it down on accident after doing a fire-breathing trick before losing everything else. Black Ghost agents pick him up when he faints.) Chang's power allows him to breathe huge flames which he uses to create tunnels in the earth and attack enemies with underground explosions. He's a jovial fellow who is well-versed in the ways of cooking; his refined cuisine and happy personality always manage to bring his teammates back to good spirits. His proclivity is frontal advancing, anti-personnel, and anti-ballistics; 006's jolly nature and Epicurean cooking skills make him expert at morale.
Great Britain (グレート·ブリテン Gurēto Buriten?): Cyborg 007
Great Britain, whose real name is unknown, was originally from the United Kingdom. He was once a famous and talented stage actor with a broad knowledge of famous shows. 007 has the incredible ability to reshape his cellular structure at will, allowing him to take form of any object, creature, or person he wishes. With his superb acting skills, he can also blend in with the enemy to use sneaky maneuvers and attacks. Great Britain is a very lighthearted and amiable gentleman to boot. Giving credence to his personality as a comic relief, there is a running gag where G.B. often takes the form of a precocious, almost super deformed, spoiled child fearing for his own life. His unusual talent make him ideal at espionage and infiltration; additionally his ability take on gigantic proportions or restructure into a dangerous animal proves useful in field combat.
During the 60's, in an attempt by the producers to appeal to a younger audience, he is depicted as a child rather than an adult. Though Ishinomori initially disapproved of this, he later temporarily mirrored it in the manga version by having Gilmore alter 007's body to make the child form his standard form.
His nationality, skills in espionage, and number are an obvious reference to the character James Bond.
Pyunma (ピュンマ?): Cyborg 008
Pyunma was originally from an undisclosed part of Africa. Originally, 23-years-old Pyunma was to have been made a slave along with the people of his tribe, but he escaped from his chains and ran off. Cornered by the slave drivers, all seemed lost until the slave drivers were shot dead by Black Ghost agents from out of nowhere. Holding Pyunma at gunpoint, they led him to their plane so he could be taken to the cybernetics laboratory. In the 2001 series, Pyunma was a guerrilla fighter who fought against the tyrant ruling his land along with his friends Kabore and Masmado, but was caught in the crossfire during a nocturnal fight, when Black Ghost people kidnapped him. Pyunma, the only member of the team with real combat training, has mechanical lungs that allow him to survive indefinitely underwater at any depth. Pyunma's soldier background make him an outstanding field tactician, possibly the most capable of the group. His mainstay abilities are anti-submarine/sea ordnance and ocean recon.
In the original 1960s and 1970s incarnations, Pyunma's facial design was done in Blackface, which is considered an outrage in many countries. Despite this exaggeration the character's personality is always presented as intensely no-nonsense and battle-hardened. In the 80s movie Chou Ginga Densetsu, Pyunma was redrawn in a more naturalistic style. The design redeux was further applied for the 2001 series.
Joe Shimamura : Cyborg 009

Protagonists
Joe Shimamura (島村ジョー Shimamura Jō?): Cyborg 009, and the main character/leader
Joe is originally from Japan, although he is actually half-Japanese. A delinquent youth, he escaped from a juvenile detention facility before being captured by Black Ghost. Although Joe received several body enhancements during the process of being turned into a cyborg, his most prominent ability is his acceleration mode, enabling him to move at a speed so fast that everything else looks like a statue to him; this mode is triggered by a switch embedded in his teeth. However, he cannot touch any normal creatures such as humans in this state; the high speeds would kill or otherwise cause serious injury to the creature through air friction. Other principal abilities include durable skin and skeleton, superhuman strength, self-contained oxygen supply, night vision, and computer-assisted brain enhancements. During each of the series, he acts as the field leader of 00 Cyborgs. He appears as a playable character in Street Fighter Online: Mouse Generation, and also in Sunday VS Magazine: Shūketsu! Chōjō Daikessen.

Joe Shimamura : Cyborg 009
the leader of the team, The Hero of the team, very sensitive and compassionate, with a strong sense of justice. Power: officially, super-speed accessed via one of his molars, but according to the manga, he was the last cyborg created, so he had a much more powerful body than the others (he could breathe underwater like 008, though for a shorter time, and was almost as strong as 005).
Dr. Isaac Gilmore (アイザック·ギルモア博士 Aizakku Girumoa Hakase?)
The lead scientist in the 00 Cyborg program, Gilmore was a dutiful worker who hid a deep distrust for Black Ghost's plans. (In the 2001 series, he only begins to have serious misgivings about the time 005 is built—his superiors force him to install a lower-grade part, because it would lead to more revenue—and has a much less prominent role in creating the rest.) After the cybernetic enhancements for the first nine 00 Cyborgs were complete, he intentionally let himself be "taken hostage" by the cyborgs. Since then, he has been the team's advisor and father figure, not only helping to formulate the team's plans, but also assisting them with the nuances of their newfound mechanical bodies.
In the 1979 series he and his fellow scientist Reinhardt was captured and forced to work on Operation Superman (possibly the first cyborg project ever) for the Nazi regime during the 1940s. Gilmore learned of what he was doing and was so disgusted by the fact that he was working for Hitler that he decided to plan an escape. He was aided by the chaos created by an Allied strike on the laboratory he was working in and managed to escape in the confusion.
Dr. Koizumi (コズミ博士 Kozumi Hakase?)
Calm and perceptive Koizumi is Gilmore's old friend from before he joined Black Ghost, and also is doctor specialized in biochemistry (it's hinted he may be even Nobel Prize level). His mansion in the outskirts of Tokyo became the cyborgs' HQ during the first episodes. Koizumi aided the team by developing an antidote for a poison that affected the cyborgs, and aided 004 when he was starting to doubt himself again, He was also the first person to notice how Gilmore and the cyborgs were becoming more of a family than merely a group of fighters. Koizumi was kidnapped by Black Ghost, and the cyborgs had to rescue him by fighting and defeating 0012 and 0013; after that, he remained a good friend of the team.

Weapons
Each 00 member (except 001) is outfitted with a ray-blasting multipurpose weapon called a "needle-nose", kept in a holster at the side of the uniform. Other weapons may be dispensed to the group when needed. The team's principal source of transportation is a flying submarine vehicle called "The Dolphin", capable of supersonic flight, as well as surface or below-surface sea navigation.

Skull
Skull (スカール Sukāru?) is the tyrannical leader of an evil organization called the Black Ghost Organization (its main mission is to cause war between two global powers by dealing weapons). His true identity is not known because he wears a helmet, which looks like a skull, and an all-black suit (which appears to have what looks like ribs) followed by a red cape. His given name is, according to some sources, Skull.
