| rdfs:comment | - Barney Hiller was the world's second bionic man. Hiller was a race car driver who lost all his arms and legs in a crash. The OSI rebuilt him as a backup for Steve Austin at a cost of $7 million (presumably higher than Austin due to inflation and the extra limb). Hiller's ultimate fate is never revealed. However in the 1989 telefilm Bionic Showdown, Oscar Goldman states that at that time there are only four bionic people alive. As these four are accounted for in the film, this may suggest that Hiller died prior to 1989 or that his bionics were removed.

| abstract | - Barney Hiller was the world's second bionic man. Hiller was a race car driver who lost all his arms and legs in a crash. The OSI rebuilt him as a backup for Steve Austin at a cost of $7 million (presumably higher than Austin due to inflation and the extra limb). Hiller, however, was seduced by his new abilities and tended to use excessive force during his first mission, ultimately turning against the OSI. Finally captured, the OSI "tunes down" Hiller's bionics, stripping him of his super-human abilities. Later, Hiller is reactivated, but soon displays the same instability that made him a danger previously, compounded by him being forced to commit a series of crimes. Hiller's ultimate fate is never revealed. However in the 1989 telefilm Bionic Showdown, Oscar Goldman states that at that time there are only four bionic people alive. As these four are accounted for in the film, this may suggest that Hiller died prior to 1989 or that his bionics were removed.
