Cybertech

The concept of prosthetic limbs or replacing parts of the body with machines has been around since mythic heroes with arms of finely crafted silver and the like. Modern technology has made the idea of "cybernetic organisms" (cyborgs or even just borgs for short) even more common, with entire sub-genres of fiction—cyberpunk, and later posthumanist—devoted to human enhancement and "upgrades." This Gadget Guide looks at the concept of cyberware and how it works in M&M game terms.
