We are so proud to be, a super future family. A family brought together by fate, and given super powers through the miracles of modern science. Bionic Six. Bionic Six was an animated television series from 1987 produced by TMS Entertainment and distributed by Studios USA and MCA Television.The main character, 'Bionic-1', was a machine-enhanced human being using bionic technology, much like The Six Million Dollar Man. On one of Bionic-1's missions, his family had traveled with him and got buried alive under radioactive snow. The only way to save them was for Professor Sharp to implant bionic components. Each of the family members was given a specific Bionic Power, and they formed a team called the Bionic Six.
Jack Bennett was a test pilot who enjoyed cooking. His codename was Bionic-1 and his powers included super sight, optic beams and enhanced hearing. He was voiced by John Stephenson.
Mother-1 was the codename of Jack's wife, Helen Bennett, and she possessed psychic powers. She could also create optical illusions/holograms. She was voiced by Carol Bilger.
Eric Bennett was the blond, athletic son. His codename was Sport-1 and his power was electromagnetics. He could attract or repel metallic objects with tremendous force. This force was directional and by varying the shape of his hands or using one or two arms, Sport-1 could adjust the strength of attraction/repulsion. He frequently used a baseball bat. He was voiced by Hal Rayle.
Jack & Helen's only daughter was Eric's twin sister, Meg Bennett, a somewhat ditzy girl who loved music. Her codename was Rock-1 (as in "rock and roll") and she could shoot sonic beams from out of her shoulders. She could also run at incredible speeds (even faster than the rest of the team). She was voiced by Bobbi Block.
JD Bennett was Jack & Helen's intelligent, adopted African-American son. He enjoyed boxing. His codename was IQ and he had super-strength and super-intelligence. (JD was the only member with a codename that didn't include the number 1.) He was voiced by Norman Bernard.
The last Bennett, Bunji, was Jack & Helen's foster son. He was placed under their guardianship after his own father disappeared. Bunji was a cute, but troublemaking, Asian-American karate enthusiast. His codename was Karate-1 and he had martial arts skills and speed (made more formidable with his bionics). He was voiced by Brian Tochi.
