Cyborgs, A Life-long Love Affair -or- Probably Where I Get It From

So, do you remember that show, it was a family, they had super powers? And an RV that turned into a couple of motorcycles and a little ATV?

They were cybernetic, or something, each of the kids had a unique power (strength, speed, etc), and the mom had psychic powers or something, and there was always a shot of the teens chilling in the family room, and it was a mess, and then the Dad would shake a finger at them for being slobs, and then in a whirlwind the place would be spic and span!

Well, ladies and gentlemen, the Internet is a wonderful tool.

It's called The Bionic Six




They were cyborgs (tragically injured when a ski vacation went horribly, horribly wrong, revived, fixed, improved by a benevolent scientist). The fight a small army of bionic villains led (predictably) by the benevolent scientist's evil brother, "Scarab."

Don't miss the African-American kid (super strength and super intelligence) codename "IQ," and the Asian-American (bionic karate-master), codename "Karate-1."

They've even got a fan revival page (here).


Is it any wonder I'm preoccupied with bionics and world domination? Silver Hawks, C.O.P.S. - the list goes on, plus Pinky and the Brain.










Remember, commenters will be reserved a special place in my new world order.

Funny, I was ready to guess "Bionic Six" by the end of the second paragraph.
