Mk11 | Robocop - all intros and victory poses.

RoboCop, formerly Alex Murphy, is a police officer in a dystopian future Detroit who is transferred to the Metro West Precinct as part of OCP's drive to restructure the police department. As Alex was killed on duty by the Boddicker gang, he is resurrected by an OCP executive Bob Morton as RoboCop, OCP Crime Prevention Unit 001.

RoboCop at first followed the three directives given to him:
1. "Serve the public trust"
2. "Protect the innocent"
3. "Uphold the law"
4. A directive which RoboCop was programmed to be unaware of unless it became relevant. This directive prevented him from arresting any senior OCP employee under arrest: "any attempt to arrest a senior OCP employee results in shutdown.", the only exception being any employee acting against the interests of OCP as a whole, as demonstrated when OCP Vice President Dick Jones was fired by his superior.

While it did not actually shut RoboCop down, it did inflict severe pain and stun RoboCop. Jones stated that Directive 4 was his contribution to RoboCop's psychological profile, in order to protect himself from being arrested for his crimes. This directive failed Jones when he held the "Old Man" hostage and was fired by him, allowing RoboCop to kill Jones. Eventually in the second RoboCop movie, RoboCop was given over-three hundred directives which changes his behavior in certain situations until RoboCop electrocuted himself to get rid of every single directive.

In the 2014 RoboCop movie, RoboCop was instead named RC-2000, and instead of the original trilogy having Alex Murphy's memories erased to be RoboCop, his memories was still intact. However, that does not mean that he is free from the influence of OCP. Dr. Dennett Norton, the head scientist of the RoboCop project, can shut RoboCop down anytime he orders it.

Peter Weller played RoboCop in the first two films of the original trilogy. in the third film, he was portrayed by Robert John Burke. In the series, as well as its successor, he was portrayed by Richard Eden and Page Fletcher respectively. In the 2014 remake, he was portrayed by Joel Kinnaman.
