A British man has had some semblance of his vision restored after having a bionic eye surgically implanted. He can see the white lines on a road and sort his socks. This particular type of bionic eye only works on people with certain degenerative retinal diseases, but early results are promising.
Once I get my brain implant, I’m going to find other people with implants and bionic parts and we’ll form a team of crime-fighting superheroes. I’ll call myself Gray Matter: mild-mannered bureaucrat by day, masked avenging nerd by night.

Go Mark!
I wanna join! I’ll be the sly, unheeded deaf person in the far corner cubicle with SUPER HEARING. *cue dramatic hand waving*
I’m already half-way there – my Cochlear Implant was installed last June. I’m just waiting for the software upgrade.
