Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What is a cyborg?

Answer: A hybrid of a living creature and mechanical or electronic parts

A cyborg has both living tissue (biological material) and mechanical parts. Artificial flesh over a robot skeleton doesn't count as living tissue.

2. One famous cyborg was, oddly enough, based upon a novel called "Cyborg". Who or what was this 1974 creation?

Answer: The Six-Million Dollar Man

Steve Austin (no, not the wrestler) was injured severely in a plane crash, and was rebuilt with bionics. Bonus credit for knowing it was both legs, his right arm, and his left eye.

Answer: Darth Vader

As Obi-Wan said in "Return of the Jedi", "He's more machine now than man... twisted and evil."

Answer: RoboCop

In February and March of 2011, citizens of the city of Detroit raised over $60,000 to fund a RoboCop statue. No, really.

Answer: Inspector Gadget

Don Adams, who initially found fame as the inept, bumbling Maxwell Smart in "Get Smart", voiced the inept, bumbling Inspector Gadget.

Answer: Dr. Otto Octavius

Naturally, his eight appendages found a worthy adversary in Spiderman in both comic books and "SpiderMan 2".

7. Who is the only Bond villain to meet the criteria to be called a "cyborg"?

Answer: Dr. No

He had bionic hands that he would show off by crushing various objects.

Answer: Professional tennis player

Jamie was skydiving with Steve Austin (the aforementioned Six Million Dollar Man) when her chute failed to open properly and she smashed into the ground. She actually "died" from the original bionic operation, but was cryogenically preserved until they could rebuild her properly.

9. Cops seem to always be first in line to get bionic/cybernetic limbs. Will Smith played a cop who got a new arm after a car crash. What was the movie?

Answer: "I, Robot"

Arms seem to be the cyborg prosthetic of choice in movies and television.

10. In 1989 there was a critically panned movie named "Cyborg" paradoxically starring a famously wooden actor. Who got top billing for this atrocity?

Answer: Jean-Claude Van Damme

The odd thing was that Jean-Claude wasn't even the cyborg in the title. He was actually one of the entourage tasked with keeping the cyborg safe.
