Story
Nine people from around the world are kidnapped by the evil Black Ghost organization, led by the tyrant Skull, to be turned into cyborgs with superhuman abilities. Black Ghost wants to instigate a Third World War and sell its cyborgs as the ultimate weapons. The nine cyborgs manage to escape and band together to stop Black Ghost.
Joe Shimamura (島村ジョー), or Cyborg 009, had his body involuntarily augmented with cybernetic implants that give him supernatural strength and the ability to move at Mach 5 speeds.
