Cybersix is the title of an Argentinean comic book, created by Carlos Meglia and Carlos Trillo.

Cybersix (the name comes from the tattoo on her forearm: CYBER6) was one of five thousand clones created by evil scientist Dr. Von Richter in a South American jungle. Like the other "cybers", she has superhuman strength and agility. When his creations proved disobedient, Dr. Von Richter ordered them destroyed. Cybersix was the sole survivor, and fled to the outside world.

Unaware of the difference of boys and girls, she adopted the identity of a boy killed in a car wreck, Adrian Sidelman, and eventually grew up to become a literature teacher for high school students. She lives alone as a male in the fictitious city of Meridiana.

Like all of Von Richter's creations, Cybersix is dependent on a fluid called "substance". When her supply ran out, she was forced to prowl the city, looking for other clones and androids that have infiltrated the city. She kills them and takes their substance to survive. Almost by accident, she became a superhero by defending the people of her city from Von Richter's schemes. Along the way, she met DataSeven, the brain of her brother in the body of a black panther, and fell in love with reporter Lucas Amato.

As Cybersix, she wears a black bodysuit, a black cape with red lining, a black hat and black fingerless gloves. The outfit was chosen so she would be mistaken for a prostitute.

There was a live-action TV series (http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0262951/) made in Argentina as well as a US-Japanese-Canadian animated series (http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0211793/) (with much-reduced sex and violence.)
