“Gentlemen, we can rebuild him.

We have the technology.

We have the capability to build the world’s first bionic man.

Steve Austin will be that man;

better than he was before.

Better, stronger, faster.”

– from the opening sequence to the Six Million Dollar Man

If you were going to build a better man where you begin? The muscles? The limbs? The brain? The… hair? The titular character from the television series Six Million Dollar Man had bionic limbs and an infrared eye with a 20:1 zoom capability. In saving him from a terrible plane crash, the government famously spent six million dollars to make special agent Steve Austin “better, stronger, faster”.
