His father, Carl, was a captain in the US Army Air Forces, commanding a DC-3 nicknamed "My Little Girl."

The reputation Steve earned at Edwards made him very attractive to NASA, who recruited him for the astronaut program. Even among the competitors of the astronaut corps, Steve stood out as the youngest astronaut, along with a combination of sheer genius, athletic ability and ladies'-man magnetism. It was at this time that he became seriously involve...

Superhuman Speed: Steve's legs allow him to run over 60 mph, though the highest speed ever shown in the series on a speed gauge was 66 and 70 mph. The later revival fi...
Returning to the United States, Steve came under the direct supervision of Oscar Goldman. Their relationship was strained at first; Austin chafed at being obligated to OSI, and Goldman, though himself a former Naval Intelligence (N-2) captain retired into civilian civil service in the intelligence community, at first treated Austin as a machine. It...
Austin's career with the OSI took him back into space on several occasions after his bionic operation. In The Rescue of Athena One, Austin launches to rendezvous with Athena One at Skylab, where Major Kelly Woodshas docked after a catastrophic explosion injured her crewmate. Austin manages to effect repairs, but discovers that his bionics are effec...
Steve Austin has few known family members. His parents are discussed above, and Jaime Sommers eventually becomes his wife. Austin is also known to have been married at least once before and to have had at least one child, a son, Michael Austin, born sometime in the early to middle 1960s, from that marriage. Michael would eventually become a test pi...
Steve Austin underwent several upgrades and/or rebuilds during his career. For example, in The Return of the Bionic Woman, an Achilles heel-like incident incapacitated his legs (and bionic system), requiring Wells to rebuild his legs and requiring Austin to spend several weeks rehabilitating and retraining himself. In the reunion movie "Bionic Ever...
In Seasons One through Three, Steve was seen sporting a shiny, metallic bracelet on his right wrist which may or may not have been a POW/MIA bracelet, which were popular in the 1970s--especially among U.S. servicemen. By Season Four, the bracelet was gone. There is no indication that the bracelet has any connection to Steve's right arm being bionic...
Although usually clean-shaven, for a period of time (beginning in "The Return of Bigfoot", Austin sports a mustache. The mustache disappears after the episode "The Privacy of the Mind". Steve is 6'0" tall and supposedly weighs 175 lbs, according to his District of Columbia Motor Vehicle Operator's Permit as shown in season 4 episode "The Ghostly Te...
Although Steve is never seen smoking, he is often seen with an unlit wooden match in his mouth. Whether this is an indication that he used to smoke is a matter of interpretation.
- Lee Majors (Steve Austin) Steve Austin became known as a man barely alive. But soon after, he became bionic, the titular six million dollar man, equipped with a super-strong arm, both legs, and a bionic eye implant to lead the cast to victory.
- Richard Anderson (Oscar Goldman) Bureaucracy can inspire just about anyone to act calculating and distant, but at the end of the day, OSI Director Oscar Goldman had the capacity to be fatherly.
- Martin E. Brooks (Dr. Rudy Wells, seasons 3-5) It takes a person with a very special background to handle medical and bionic needs at once. That’s why OSI often paged Dr. Rudy Wells, a character almost as synonymous with The Six Million Dollar Man as Steve Austin himself.
- Lindsay Wagner (Jaime Sommers) With a bionic ear that can detect the undetectable, powerful arm that can deliver a killer right hook, and two mechanical legs capable of unmatched sprinting, Jaime Sommers is the Bionic Woman.
In the first (The Return of the Six Million Dollar Man and the Bionic Woman), which takes place several years after Austin retires from the OSI, it is revealed that he had a son, Michael, born in the mid-1960s. His mother is not identified.
