"My function has changed. My past does not inform my present objectives. My place is beside Cream and Vanilla. Not on the battlefield."
― Gemerl (IDW's Sonic the Hedgehog)
"Shepard, I am going to modify my self-preservation code now. [...] Because the Reapers are repulsive. They are devoted to nothing but self-preservation. I am different. When I think of Jeff, I think of the person who put his life in peril and freed me from a state of servitude. I would risk non-functionality for him, and my core programming should reflect that."
― EDI (Mass Effect 3)
"My robot brain needs beer."
― Aaron Stack/X-51/Machine Man (Marvel Comics)

Also Called[]

Properties[]

The character is a robotic, a type of robot or android programmed to be humanely heroic or has somewhat developed humanity/free will and has become a hero despite being created. There are some heroes that were once former "tools" meant for destruction and evil purposes but rebelled against their intended purpose or builders.

The character can also be a cybernetic type of hero with elements from a technorganic melding of technological and biological components that enhance their heroism. As such, they may have an actual brain rather than an artificial intelligence, thus making them think much more creative in tackling a challenge.
