The '''Red Series''' were supersoldiers from South Africa who were enhanced by neural implants in their necks. This gave them extraordinary strength and durability, greater than even [[Manticore]] [[Transgenics]].
==
All Red soldiers were convicts, who were recruited from Death Row with the promise of
When a soldier was chosen, an implant was inserted (painfully) into the back of his neck, where it attached itself to the brain stem and began to rewire neural pathways. When the process was complete, the pain centers of the brain were deactivated, ensuring that the soldier would feel no pain and therefore would be essentially fearless. They also became hyper-adrenalized, granting them vastly superior physical strength and ruggedness. In this condition, a Red Series could withstand a tremendous amount of physical abuse, and could survive multiple gunshots to the torso. In the end, however, the strain on their nervous system was too great, and they burned out after about six months, a year at best.

In the year 2019, a team of several Red Series soldiers was sent to Seattle, Washington. Their mission was to capture an [[X5]] from [[Manticore]].
The team indeed located an X5, [[Max Guevara
Eventually, they found Max once more and went after her, but during the pursuit, another Red, Red Eight, was killed. The remaining soldiers then took one of Max's friends hostage, and, with nothing else to do, Max used the implant from the dead soldier to supercharge herself beyond even the normal limits of an X5. In a fierce fight, she killed the remaining Reds, but immediately collapsed from the strain; the Red Series could tolerate the implant for months, but it was not designed for a transgenic, and Max could only last a few hours with it active. Fortunately, two friends of Max, [[Original Cindy]] and [[Logan Cale]], managed to disable the implant by short-circuiting it with a defibrillator.
Just before his death, one of the Red soldiers, Red Five, overheard his handler mentioning to Max that there had never been any hope for his men, and that they were simply told what they wanted to hear. In truth, South Africa wanted to capture Max for her egg cells and produce transgenic supersoldiers of their own. Summoning the last of his strength, the Red soldier killed his leader, and with his last breath stated, "No regrets."
