The Six Million Dollar Man (1974)

The Six Million Dollar Man, a science fiction action series from the 1970s, did not include any explicit LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The show focused on its protagonist's bionic adventures and adhered to the prevailing social and television norms of its time regarding character representation.

The show primarily features Steve Austin's bionic abilities. While Jaime Sommers, a bionic woman, appears, her victories against male opponents are achieved through her bionic enhancements, which fall under the exclusion criteria for overwhelming technological superiority or superpowers. Other female characters do not engage in or win direct physical combat against men through skill or non-enhanced strength.

The Six Million Dollar Man (1974) is an adaptation of the novel "Cyborg." All primary characters from the source material, such as Steve Austin, Oscar Goldman, and Dr. Rudy Wells, retained their established male gender in the series. No existing characters were portrayed as a different gender.

The 1974 television series 'The Six Million Dollar Man' is the original live-action adaptation that established the visual canon for its characters, consistent with the source novel. No major character's race was changed from a previously established canonical or widely recognized portrayal.
