Spike Spiegel is a tall and lean 27-year-old bounty hunter who was born on Mars. His character draws inspiration from martial artist Bruce Lee, particularly in his use of Jeet Kune Do as shown in Session 8, "Waltz For Venus". Spike has fluffy, dark green hair inspired by Yusaku Matsuda's style, and reddish-brown eyes, with one being artificial and lighter than the other. He typically wears a blue leisure suit, paired with a yellow shirt and boots reminiscent of Lupin III. A flashback in Session 6 revealed that his fully functional right eye was surgically replaced with a cybernetic one, although Spike claims to have lost his natural eye in an "accident." Some speculate that he may have lost it during a pre-series massacre where he was presumed dead. The exact purpose of this cybernetic eye remains unclear, but it enhances his hand-eye coordination, especially when handling firearms like his preferred Jericho 941. In the first episode, Spike mocks a bounty-head using Red Eye, calling his moves "too slow," which turns out to be true even with the bounty's superhuman reflexes boosted by the drug. Throughout the series, close-ups of Spike's natural left eye often transition into flashbacks of his past life in the syndicate. As Spike himself states in the final episode, his right eye "only sees the present" while his left eye "only sees the past." Spike frequently has a bent cigarette between his lips, regardless of rain or "No Smoking" signs.
