OCP Crime Prevention Unit 001, or better known as RoboCop, was a cyborg police officer, created by Omni Consumer Products with the remains of the brutally murdered police officer Alex Murphy. 
When the OCP Security Concepts project ED-209ran into serious delays and cost overruns, the Old Man ordered a backup plan.
Bob Morton took the assignment.
Bob Morton took the assignment.
OCP restructured the Detroit Police Departmentwith "prime candidates" according to risk factor, as another victim of criminality was soon expected to be found. After the failed presentation of the ED prototype, Morton approached the Old Man over the protests of Dick Jones.
The Old Man was curious enough to invite Morton and his staff for a full presentation of his RoboCop program.
Eventually, OCP was bought out by the Japanese Kanemitsu Corporation and organized a police force called the Urban Rehabilitators, or "Rehabs," who were deployed to evict citizens from Cadillac Heights in order to speed up the process of building Delta City.
This was all done under the guise of simply trying to reduce crime in Old Detroit. Also during this time, RoboCop, Lewis, and Reed were reassigned back to the Metro Westprecinct.
The OCP Crime Prevention Unit 001 was afforded the fastest reflexes made possible by modern technology, a memory assisted by an on-board computer, and programmed with a lifetime experience in on-the-street law enforcement.
Fundamental to his operational limits were RoboCop's "Prime Directives," a set of rules, unbreakable and unbendable, that RoboCop is bound to uphold:
"Serve the public trust"
"Protect the innocent"
"Uphold the law"
"Serve the public trust"
"Protect the innocent"
"Uphold the law"
RoboCop's primary weapon, the Auto-9, remained stored in a mechanical holster which deployed from RoboCop's right leg. It was also modified so it would not fire unless RoboCop was the one using it.
In his fight against the Rehabs, RoboCop used a flightpack. It also doubled as a replenishing system for when his battery system was low on power. The jetpack allowed Murphy to overcome his relatively limited mobility for tactical advantage in combat.
RoboCop reveals that he was transported to Earthrealm while pursuing Kano, who was responsible for dealing weaponry to Old Detroitgangs. After defeating Kronika, he absorbs her power and his mind is not only freed by the various directives OCP input into his programming.
But was opened to the depths of his creators corruption, which he vows to put an end to when he returns, with the help of Sonya, Jax, Strykerand a post-black dragon Kabal.
