The Perceptor v1.1
By Pur_See_i8
Source of Character: Bionic Six animated tv series 1987. Voiced by Neil Ross. Bionic Six was produced by TMS Entertainment and distributed by MCA TV (now NBC Universal Television Distribution). Renowned Japanese animation director Osamu Dezaki was involved as chief supervising director, whose distinctive style (Golgo 13, Cobra) is evident throughout - and one of the main writers was occasional writeups.org helper Jean-Marc Lofficier.
Helper(s): IMDB, wikipedia. Screen cap from http://nostalgieanime.de.tl .
Reasons: Although not really a fan of the series when it first aired (it looked too much like some Ninja Science Team Gatchaman/ Battle of the Planets rip-off)I did like the character of the Perceptor since I was a huge (Frank Miller’s) Daredevil fan, and the Perceptor was basically a bionicized version of Daredevil.
Writeups.org & Amazon.com recommend vintage die cast Bionic Six action figures.

Powers and Abilities
The Perceptor went through a similar, albeit earlier version of the same bionic process that gave the Bionic Six their powers. With his new bionicized body, the Perceptor possesses super human strength, speed, endurance and reaction time. His sense of hearing and touch were also greatly enhanced enabling to “see” and navigate through complex architectures, design and place IEDs (improvised explosive devices), and take on the entire Bionic Six team on several occasions and escape capture for a time.
The bionic process which endowed the Perceptor with his fantastic abilities also permanently damaged his optical nerves.
Description
The Perceptor is a well-built Caucasian male in his mid-thirties who wears a dark, skin tight stealth suit and jet black customized motorcycle helmet with tinted visor.
Personality
The Perceptor is cunning and determined as an adversary. He prefers stealth and misdirection rather than direct frontal assaults. He uses his tech savvy to sabotage enemy equipment and vehicles at their key weak points.
DC Universe History
The Bionic Six functions better in their own self-contained universe, but can be dropped into a near future version of Metropolis or Gotham were either Lexcorp or S.T.A.R. Labs has developed a bionic process to augment individuals.
