Universal Soldier (cyborg)
- Universal Soldier (cyborg)
The Universal Soldier (sometimes called UniSol for short) are fictional cyborgs from the "Universal Soldier" film series starring Jean-Claude Van Damme. The UniSols are dead soldiers that have been reanimated as cyborgs, and used for military purposes. Although they can think independently, the main objective of every UniSol is to obey its central programming.
Of all the Universal Soldiers, only Luc Deveraux (Jean-Claude Van Damme) has ever been changed back into a human, although he still possesses some cybernetic and superhuman qualities.
The appearance of the UniSols varies throughout the movies. In the first movie, they wear robotic parts on their skin. By the last movie, their cybernetic parts are all internal, and they look almost human. These new UniSols are members of the "UniSol 2500" line.
The UniSols possess several abilities. For one, they have enhanced strength and endurance and superior fighting skills. This is what makes them difficult to destroy. In addition, they are computer-level geniuses, which gives them the upper hand in almost any situation.
Abilities
* Rapid regeneration from injury (healing factor)
* Enhanced strength, speed, endurance, reflexes and accuracy.
* Later Universal Soldiers have the same abilities as the earlier series, but to an even greater extent.
Weaknesses
* Will shut down if allowed to overheat- fire will shut them down rapidly. Even later UniSols appear to have this problem, albeit to a lesser extent.
* Requires specialized chemical serum to keep them under control (not an issue for the UniSol 2500 series).
Notable Unisols
* Luc Deveraux (GR44): Jean-Claude Van Damme/Matt Battaglia
* Andrew Scott (GR13): Dolph Lundgren/Andrew Jackson
* S.E.T.H.: Michael Jai White
* Romeo: Bill Goldberg
* Maggie: Kiana Tom
