Stinger : A natural team leader and veteran solider with a no nonsense attitude and a hunger for combat. Stinger is equipped with a cybernetic arm which comprise of a missile launcher, chain gun and energy-based sticky bombs
Clandestine : A Ninja with exceptional martial art skills due to her cybernetic implants. Cladestine is as sharp as her Katana blade in combat and is always ready for the next battle.

Capcom has also released an animated episode (only one episode so far) of Spyborgs. Available to watch only on the official website. First episode is an introduction to the three main characters in the game and is a great idea. More game developers should use this concept to give players and fans further insight into the game and its story. Also coming soon Capcom will be releasing a Spyborgs digital comic as well. It seems that Capcom have all their bases covered with Spyborgs.
