The Six Million Dollar Man: Difference between revisions

** Candidates for bionic implantation need to be missing limbs. There are plenty of amputees among the general population, but since the technology is top secret, you have to find an amputee ''with a security clearance'' who is willing to put himself into danger after he's been modified.

*** Also,The wetechnology should note that the technologyalso ''didn't always work right''. In the case of Steve Austin, it worked spectacularly, his body adapted superbly, ''and so did his mind''. He was able to control his power and his temper, he continued to think of himself as a 'normal man' for most purposes, etc. He was the exception. Jaime Sommers was able to handle the power all right, but her body kept trying to reject the bionics and this brought her close to death on several occasions. The previous bionic man had not been able to handle the temptations of power, and some of the other instances of bionic implementation also went wrong in various ways. Steve Austin was both lucky and an exceptional man before he was made bionic.
