Character Information
Comics
In the comics, Lucas is a struggling scientific journalist with a love of genetic engineering and wrote articles on his suspicions that some residents of Meridiana actually aren't human, and along with his acute observations, becomes aware of the presence of Cybersix traversing the rooftops and hiding in the shadows and becomes enamoured with her beauty and mysterious background.
Because his job can't support him financially, Lucas is forced to take up the teaching position for chemistry and biology at the local delinquent high school where he takes notice of Adrian Seidelman and follows him the next day where he saves him from Lori's gang. After seeing Adrian's books on genetic engineering, Lucas becomes inspired to reveal his secret about Cybersix and shows him the photos he's been able to take of her, only for Adrian to abruptly leave with the promise he won't tell anybody else because, as it turns out unbeknownst to everyone else, Adrian is actually Cybersix in disguise.
The two men soon becomes good friends and frequent at the Cafe, often talking of Cybersix, a closeness which results in Lori teasing the two for possibly being more than just friends as a way to bully Adrian. It isn't until an incident does their relationship becomes strained when Lori sees, what she believes, is Cybersix fooling around with both Adrian and Lucas, causing Lucas to become jealous and angry with them both, enough to punch Adrian to the ground after he attempts to reconcile.
Lucas often sees other women and only becomes faithful once his friend, Mauritius Cronemberg, convinces Cybersix of her humanity and allowing her to feel free to give in to her feelings. She later becomes pregnant but Lucas, who travelled to the jungle, is captured by enemies and suffers amnesia. He eventually returns and reunites with his family and possibly, with his friend Adrian too.
Live-Action
It's unknown if Lucas appears in the live-action television series, although Cybersix is seen kissing a man that may be Lucas or a character that has replaced him.
Animated
Not much is known about Lucas's background in the animated series, other than hints he also works as a scientific journalist and had done boxing as a youth.
Relationships
Cybersix
Cybersix and Lucas share romantic tensions but never further their relationship due to Cybersix's hesitance originating from her insecurities as a lab experiment. They remain as friends until eventually admitting their feelings in The Final Confrontation in the form of a kiss.
In the comics, Lucas is initially awestruck by Cybersix's beauty and fascinated by her past but is nevertheless easily seduced by other women. He eventually figures Cybersix must have a secret identity and humourously suggests that he starts dating that one, to protect the identity of Cybersix, not knowing her alter ego is actually the male Adrian. They later start a romantic relationship and Cybersix becomes pregnant, but Lucas goes missing for a good amount of time as he's captured by enemies in the jungle and becomes amnesiac. He returns and the entire family quickly reunite.
Adrian
While Lucas is romantically interested in Cybersix, he is good friends with Adrian. They often hang out at the cafe and pay for each other's meals. Their relationship is strained after the misunderstanding from Lori that Cybersix and Adrian are romantically involved with each other but they somewhat reconcile with this.
In the comics, the love triangle is kept up by Cybersix herself as Adrian who wants to inspire jealousy in Lucas after seeing he has slept with another woman named Rebecca Limon. Lucas is sometimes violent with Adrian but genuinely cares for him, expressing his frustration when Adrian planned to quit his job and later his wish for Adrian to return at the end of the series, and is reassured by Cybersix he may.
