Ishinomori Shoutarou bases cyborg 009 anime on Cyborg 009 manga from the late 1960s. Cyborg 009 is a story about nine experimental cyborgs (eight male and one female), which have been collected by the evil terrorist group, Black Ghost. Those nine cyborgs with the aid of a scientist turn against Black Ghost's control. Black Ghost in turn starts sending more cyborgs to destroy their first nine experimental cyborgs and causing destruction all around the world. Source: AnimeNfo
