Cybertek

Cybertek is a fictional company featured in comic books published by Marvel Comics. They are part of the mainstream Marvel Universe, but also exist in alternate future timelines as well as alternate continuities such as the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Cybertek played a key role in the back-end of season one of the ABC television series Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., and made its final appearance in the season finale, "Beginning of the End".

In the Marvel Universe, Cybertek's full name is Cybertek Systems, Inc. and represents the applied cybernetics division of Roxxon Oil. Cybertek maintained a weapons testing facility in Paterson, New Jersey. Harlan Ryker or Roxxon used the designs of a previous Deathlok cyborg named Luther Manning and replicated them with a volunteer named John Kelly. Kelly rebelled against the cybernetic conversion however, and his onboard systems decreed him as "malfunctioning".

On Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Cybertek was contracted by HYDRA to create super-soldiers. Cybertek scientists used technology developed by the Centipede Program and turned former Extremis subject Mike Peterson into a killer cyborg soldier that they could control. This soldier was code-named Deathlok. Like most reluctant employees of Cybertek, Peterson's loyalty was assured by the fact that the company kidnapped a beloved family member and held him captive, threatening violence unless Deathlok complied with their initiatives.
