It follows the exploits of a group of cyborgs whose lives were altered by the secret organization, Black Ghost. Their leader, Joe Shimamura (the titular character under the alias "009"), was once a human born of American and Japanese descent. The cyborgs fight for freedom and try to prevent Black Ghost from starting a new world war and taking over the world.

They rebuilt him as a cyborg with the ability to slow down time with the click of a button on his left wisdom tooth.
