Xenon

    (Eclipse, 1987-1989)
™ and ©1987 Shogakukan, Inc./Masaomi Kanzaki

Asuka Kano was a regular high school student, who fell into the clutches of the Black Sea Organization. As their unwilling test subject, he was transformed into Xenon, a cyborg designed as a new kind of weapon. Although this trauma, and that of a plane crash he was involved in, wiped out much of his memory, he’s slowly beginning to remember who he is. Of course, that doesn’t solve the problem of what he’s become…

But if his new metal body weren’t enough to contend with, there’s Ryuji Goda, leader of the Cheerleaders gang, who hated Asuka even before he became a cyborg. Worse, the Black Sea Organization unleashed Number 204, a previous assassin cyborg, on a mission to remedy the “little mistake” they made when Xenon got away.

One of the earliest manga titles to make it to U.S. shores, Xenon ran 23 issues between 1987 and 1988.
