Overview

Scientist Carl Lehman is deliberately killed and secretly rebuilt by ARC Corporation as a weaponised cyborg fitted with a rage programme and remote-control safeguard.

ASFR Content

ARC converts Carl's body into Project Frankenstein. Removing the remote unit produces a short circuit that unexpectedly activates him. An incinerator later burns away his outer suit and exposes the cybernetic body, and Carl eventually rewrites his own programme so physical contact no longer triggers the implanted kill response.
