About 15 years ago there was a Bionic Woman redo that didn't run long, but
around 97 I recall a reboot where it was supposed be Austin's son that gets
injured and enlisted to get the cybernetic implants.  Instead of just
replacing an arm and legs without consideration how the rest of the body is
massively under spec to handle the stresses of lifting engine blocks and
leaping 20 feet, the new procedure involved flooding the body with nanobots wh
ich in turn fuse to the spinal and nervous system to create the neural
network, and more nanobots which bond to the bone and muscles to enhance
strength and durability.
