Captain Power and the Soldiers of the Future

The story takes place in the year 2132, advanced robotic soldiers known as Bio-Mechs had replaced human soldiers in the armed forces of the world's nations. The existence of Bio-Mechs meant that wars could be fought without significant loss of human lives. This had the effect of transforming the concept of war into a nearly harmless battle between machines, and wars became an everyday event. A group of scientists, led by Dr. Stuart Gordon Power Bruce Gray, began working on an advanced supercomputer capable of overriding the control systems employed by the militaries of the world to operate the Bio-Mechs, and thus stop them, bringing an end to war.This supercomputer, known as OverMind, required an equivalent to human brain patterns to become operational. Dr. Power's closest associate, Dr. Lyman Taggart David Hemblen, became impatient with the slow pace of the project and hooked himself up to OverMind, using his own brain patterns to bring the supercomputer to operational status. Both Taggart and OverMind were changed by the experience. Taggart became obsessed with the precision and "perfection" of machines, and convinced himself that the next step in human evolution involved the merging of human consciousness in perfect mechanical bodies. OverMind became sentient, and shared Taggart's beliefs. Using OverMind to take control of Bio-Mech armies throughout the world, Taggart launched a crusade to bring his vision to life. In mere months, the world was devastated by the Metal Wars, an apocalyptic conflict between Taggart's machine legions and the rest of humanity. Desperate, the world governments turned to Dr. Power to find a way to stop Taggart. He developed the "Power Suits," exoskeletal suits of armor coupled with advanced weapons. But before testing this new weapon, Dr. Power apparently died trying to rescue his son Jonathan from Taggart. Taggart himself was severely wounded, and OverMind "repaired" him by transforming Taggart into a cyborg. Discarding his previous identity, Dr. Lyman Taggart became Lord Dread also David Hemblen. By the year 2147, with fifteen years having passed since the beginning of the Metal Wars, humanity had been largely annihilated by Lord Dread's forces, and those who survived lived miserable existences in hiding. To bring about his ideal, Dread turned to "digitizing" human beings, storing them within OverMind. His armies roamed the world, seeking humans to digitize. These Bio-Mech armies were usually led by Bio-Dreads, advanced sentient machines, or by human officers and troopers loyal to Dread, who controlled the world from his headquarters in Volcania, somewhere in North America. Holding the rank of Captain, Jonathan Power commanded a group of five soldiers against Dread's forces. His soldiers used the Power Suits developed by Dr. Power, making them much more effective in dealing with the Bio-Mechs. Operating out of a "Power Base" concealed in the Rocky Mountains on the former site of an abandoned NORAD installation, they relied on a supercomputer built there, whose main control program was called the Mentor also Bruce Gray, an artificial intelligence whom Dr. Power had created in his own image and with his own voice so that his son would never be without him. I loved watching Captain Power and the Soldiers of the Future to bad it was canceled after 22 +3 cartoons and compilation TV movie.
