Here’s Cyborg 009. The fan reboot of the iconic 2001 series, itself a reboot of the Toei era, will have Josephus Mbungu Ilunga, the full name of Joe Shimamura (whose paternal grandmother was Japanese Hafu), as a multiracial, along with Geronimo Jr who is half-Navajo and half-African American. Joe, instead of classically being a delinquent, had been raised by jungle animals in the MaYombe rainforest for about nineteen years from when he was an infant to when he turned nineteen and became a physical man.
Having been the fastest and most acrobatic of the lot, he was and still is used to running and swinging through trees since he was a young child. Given his feral nature, he is also known to scream and whinny quite often when he’s scared shitless. Even as a youth, he also did and still does other things like pounding his chest while victoriously winning a bloody fight.
He also has seven older siblings, one of which, the second eldest, is an ecologist who introduced him to the jungle at a young age, with the oldest being a nurse. Sadly, both of whom have become enslaved by both amoral corporations and the corrupt Congolian society in general. The rest of his siblings would rather work as indentured labourers on toxic mines and other kinds of waste.
He was on the boat to Belgium and struggled to find jobs there due to racism and colourism. It was in that country where he got kidnapped into an infamously amoral organisation called GRAVE GHOST. As a result, he has been drastically altered again, even if he is retaining his animalistic behaviour outright. Ironically, he also gained new superpowers, including ridiculous amounts of both speed and flame throwing, that would stun even the top soldiers of GRAVE GHOST.
