Pre-Crisis Doctor Cyber debuts her muzzle mask in
Wonder Woman (vol. 1) #200 (May 1972); art by
Dick Giordano and
Mike Esposito. Doctor Cyber is the leader of a global criminal network around the same time when
Wonder Woman had relinquished her powers when her fellow
Amazons retreated into another dimension. Prior to Cyber's first encounter with the depowered Amazon, her henchmen plunder
I Ching's monastery and kill its monks.
Colonel Steve Trevor unsuccessfully attempted to infiltrate Cyber's network, but learned of their plot: to create chaos within the US government by sending bombs inside toys to the children of Congressmen. This plot was actually a ruse to divert attention from a London jewel heist, foiled by Wonder Woman and Ching. Doctor Cyber escaped only to resurface in Hong Kong several weeks later. In Hong Kong, Doctor Cyber's plan was to destroy the city and blackmail the world with a series of devices that could create earthquakes. Cyber lured the non-powered Diana Prince to the Asian city hoping to entice her into joining the organization, which she steadfastly refused. Soon afterward, an attack by the rival Tiger Tong gang resulted in an urn of hot coals spilling onto Cyber's face. The villainess was evacuated to a secret hospital outside of Hong Kong, swearing revenge on Diana Prince for her disfigurement. Prince stopped the earthquake plot and Cyber was believed killed when her final earthquake device exploded. When Diana Prince teamed up with private detective
Jonny Double to stop an organization called the Tribunal, she discovered that Doctor Cyber had survived their previous encounter. Cyber had created the Tribunal to find a suitable woman to transplant her brain and replace her disfigured body. After Prince's capture, Cyber unsuccessfully attempted to have her brain transplanted into Diana by Doctor Moon. During this encounter, Cyber was accidentally impaled by a
scalpel and believed killed once again. On an assignment at a
Catskill Mountain resort as Diana Prince, Wonder Woman again discovered that Doctor Cyber had cheated death. While investigating a number of murders at the resort, Cyber battled Wonder Woman after an unsuccessful attempt to graft the Amazon's face onto her own. The ensuing melée ended with Cyber seemingly falling to her death from atop a
ski lift. Doctor Cyber in

Don Heck,
Romeo Tanghal and
Carl Gafford.Doctor Cyber laid low for several months before capturing
Wonder Girl in another attempt to capture Wonder Woman for a brain transplant. Wonder Woman agreed to trade her life for her adopted sister, but both were rescued by the
Teen Titans. Cyber and her partner, Dr. Moon, were finally captured. It is unknown if Doctor Cyber was released or escaped from custody, but she disguised herself as Diana Prince, infiltrated the
Pentagon, and stole the launch codes to America's nuclear missiles. Wonder Woman averted the attempted nuclear war, but Cyber was killed attempting to flee from her and Steve Trevor (disguised as the god
Eros) when her rocket sled crashed into the side of a cliff. In
Crisis on Infinite Earths,
Brainiac recruits a past version of Cyber and sends her and several other villains to conquer Earth-S.

DC Rebirth In
DC Rebirth, Doctor Cyber is
Adrianna Anderson, a research scientist for Empire Industries and a friend of its CEO
Veronica Cale. Soon after Diana left
Themyscira and returned Steve Trevor to the United States, Cale's daughter Isadore was kidnapped by the gods
Deimos and Phobos. To reclaim her soul, the twin gods order Cale and Anderson to use the experimental Cyberwalker system to find the location of Themyscira from Wonder Woman. Anderson immediately volunteers to use the Cyberwalker suit out of fear of losing her only friend. Connected to the Cyberwalker, Anderson battles Wonder Woman, but the Cyberwalker suit malfunctions with Anderson's mind trapped inside. Despite Cale's efforts, Anderson dies. Over a year later, Veronica Cale creates an artificial construct of Anderson using what was left of her neural map in the Cyberwalker system. After learning that her physical body had died, Anderson takes the name Doctor Cyber. Cale recruits Doctor Cyber into helping her get her daughter back. ==Powers and abilities==
