History of Deathlok
Luther Manning
Colonel Luther Manning was the "first" Deathlok, a soldier who, after being near-fatally injured, woke up in the body of the experimental Deathlok cyborg in the post-apocalyptic future. He battled against the evil corporate and military regimes that had taken over the United States, while simultaneously struggling to not lose his humanity. He encountered Spider-Man and Captain America in various time travel storylines; in the latter story, he was able to overthrow the megalomaniac who had taken over the United States. Luther Manning remained in his near-future alternate reality, searching for a purpose in life and unable to disconnect himself from the machine he is a part of.
Deathlok Robot
A prototype created by Harlan Stryker, destroyed by the Thing.
John Kelly
Made for the US Army by Harlan Ryker after studying Luther Manning's cyborg body, the first Deathlok cyborg in modern Earth-616 continuity is John Kelly, now known as Siege.
Michael Collins
Professor Michael Collins was the second Deathlok to be created in the modern era and also the second to be created for the traditional Marvel Universe; he was an African-American pacifist and family man working for the Roxxon Oil cybernetics corporation, whose brain was transplanted against his will into a robotic killing machine. Although his brain was intended to serve only as a medium for the robot's programming, he was able to assert his will over it (installing a "no-killing parameter" into its programming) and had a brief superheroic career as he desperately searched for his human body, hoping it still existed. This Deathlok's cyborg body first appeared in Marvel Comics Presents #62, and Collins' brain was placed in it in Deathlok (volume 1) #1. The brain connected to this cyborg body in the Marvel Comics Presents story was that of a soldier named John Kelly, whose mind was later transferred into another cyborg body and became the vigilante called Siege.
Jack Truman
Jack Truman was an agent of the international espionage outfit S.H.I.E.L.D. who was transformed into a cyborg to battle the Red Skull. He later swapped his minds into the body of another former S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, Larry Young. Truman is presumably living a normal human life in Young's body, while Young is presumably still trapped in the body of a Deathlok unit.
