Bionic Physiology

"My name is Victor Mancha and I am an android. Like father like son, sort of. He built me to infiltrate and kill all the Avengers. So that way, you could say I've been a great disappointment to him. I guess that makes us even."

― Victor Mancha (Marvel Comics)

"The Engineer has spent his adult life extending the possibilities of his own with technology...using his own body as a test bed for the changes he wants to make to the world."

― John Cumberland/The High describing the Engineer (Wildstorm/DC Comics)

"Yes, by all accounts, I should, in fact, be dead. Incinerated in the fires of your sun. But fate, it seems, saw fit that I'd have a second chance. And thanks to the power of the Big Gete Star, I have been reborn stronger and sleeker; new and improved, you might say"

― Meta Cooler to the Z Fighters (Dragon Ball Z: The Return of Cooler)

The power to use the abilities of a robot/machine. Not to be confused with Technology Imitation.
