What is RoboCop’s real name?

Moviestillsdb.com

RoboCop is quintessential ‘80s sci-fi. A world where corporate greed and crime have both gone rampant, to the point that the City of Detroit has decided to privatize its law enforcement by granting Omni Consumer Products (or OCP) control of the police department.

And just like a self-driving Waymo running over a pedestrian, the first thing that happens is a police droid killing somebody (an OCP executive, even). Enter: RoboCop, whose mix of humanity and technology will keep stuff like that from happening again. Part man, part machine, all cop.

He has just three directives: serve the public trust, protect the innocent, and uphold the law. Oh yeah, and Directive 4, which is basically to not mess with anyone who works for OCP. Convenient.

But those greedy bastards underestimated the humanity of the person they used to build RoboCop. What is his real name?
