I know it's a film but...

He should have been D E A D after Clarence shot him in the head. Yet at least 15 minutes later they're doing emergency procedure on him as if there was a chance in hell that he's alive. I mean the stuff before - despite a bullet proof vest - should be enough to kill him but a mass murderer like Clarence gives him the final nail in the coffin but somehow he survives? It's not like you couldn't find another way for him to be near dead wihtout a head shot.

Thoughts?

There have been real cases of people suffering brain trauma and surviving.

Maybe the bullet hit nothing vitally important in one of those one in a million outcomes, or if it did, the robotic system his brain got attached to fixed or maybe overrode the damage by being like a new set of neural pathways. Then again maybe the damage was a moot point since for example his arm was a complete prosthetic and it probably didn't need functioning nerves to move.

Not that it wasn't a stretch though for him to survive his ordeal

My cousin got three .22 caliber rounds in his brain pan. I think all it did was give him a limp and maybe some mental issues. He seemed fine to me though. There are stories of people with very hard skulls having bullets bounce off. It all depends where the damage occurs in the grey matter.

Another thing that came to mind afterwards was RoboCop has a resurrected messiah motif.

Alex Murphy in a way is Jesus. He survives torture, mutilation and being crucified so to speak by arising from death in a new form that, as the movie shows, can even walk on water

If I was your cousin I'd be very happy but maybe a little bit upset I wasn't in the Robocop program.
