Looking For Roboticization/Cyborg Process

[Sunstrider]

From the top of my head, i can remember:
-Future's End: A post-apocalyptic version of the DC universe where all superhumans have been turned into cyborgs by Brother Eye a la Virus. We get to see Plastique, Wonder Woman and the Amazons from Themyscira, Batgirl and Zatanna as evil cyborgs.
-Rage of Ultron, where Ultron somehow goes "viral" and infects a bunch of people. The Wasp and the new Thor are turned into Ultrons.
-Exiles #20, there's a world where the Techno-Organic virus becomes an outbreak and turns most of the world population into machine drones known as the Vi-Locks.
-Uncanny X-Force #5, where the X-Force are attacked by cyborgs from an Earth in which the world's government decided to turn all superhumans into a sort of Sentinel force.

Why the heck do comic book writers think machines can spread like zombies, tho?

While technically the gray goop self-replicating nano-machines outcome is more plausible, a borg-type cyber "infection" via nanomachines is somewhat plausible as a post-singularity option.

Vernor Vinge's "A Fire Upon the Deep" featured a "power" coming awake and invading a large portion of the galaxy - controlling people like thralls (no real physical change described for the most part that I recall) - the implication was something similar to nanomachine-type controls, but potentially something more low-tech/mental. (It's a great book either way).

See here's what I mean. I have no problem with people who like this stuff but It sounds like the victims of infection remain human, meaning it's NOT roboticization or cyborgization at all. I know you'll argue with me, assume I am just being petulant or that if I ask I shouldn't expect to actually GET what I asked for. and Maybe it is selfish, but maybe I am tried of looking for something I like and what I find isn't what I wanted at all.

and yes thank you odysseusut, that IS what I meant. Sadly.. already knew but you didn't know and maybe someone else looking for this kind of thing hasn't.

and to Chef123 again yes that is what I meant, it's a interesting sequence I actually haven't seen
