Tor Cyan was a 2000 AD character first appearing in the series Mercy Heights as a futuristic 'ambulance driver'; the pilot of a medical shuttle, he was determined to dedicate his life to saving life. Connections between Tor Cyan and the Genetic Infantrymen (Wikipedia:G.I. (comics)), and between his story and the same fictional universe as Nu-Earth, are revealed gradually over the course of the series. Tor Cyan found it impossible to fully transcend his roots, and he became compelled to return to Nu-Earth and find out the truth about his past. Eventually he discovered that his blue skin pigmentation was the product of the same genetic engineering used to create GI supersoldiers.
