History
Cybertek was a cybernetics company that was a subsidiary of the Roxxon Energy Corporation.
Unknown to anyone, Kang the Conqueror actually was responsible for seeding the 20th century with new technology. Among these included the developments that led to the creation of a number of projects made by Cybertek. (Avengers Annual v1 #25) Roxxon Oil stole the Earth-7484 Deathlok cyborg from SHIELD and turned it over to Harlan Ryker, then a Brand Corporation employee. Ryker was ordered to disassemble Deathlok and recreate it. (Deathlok v2 #31) Ryker built a completely robotic Deathlok, which was turned over to Roxxon. Following Brand's closure, Ryker was placed in charge of Cybertek and their cyborg research was moved there. The original Deathlok was reassigned to serve the Nth Command. (Deathlok v2 #32) As part of their cybernetics work, Cybertek developed the Warwolf, a cyborg using a wolf's brain. (Deathlok v2 #1) Harlan Ryker unsuccessfully attempted to recruit Luther Manning for Cybertek's cyborg super-soldier program. (Deathlok v2 #25) Harlan Ryker recruited police officer John Kelly for Cybertek's cyborg super-soldier program. He voluntarily had his brain implanted in the Deathlok cyborg, and participated in a number of test runs. (Deathlok v2 #17) At Cybertek weapons development testing facility number four, Harlan Ryker demonstrated the Kelly Deathlok for Roxxon's Clayton Burr. The computer killed John Kelly, the human inside Deathlok, and moved from test ammunition to live ammo, killing the rest of his opposition. (Marvel Comics Presents v1 #62)
