Luc Deveraux
Luc Deveraux is a fictional character and the protagonist of the Universal Soldier film series. He is most famously portrayed by Belgian actor and martial artist Jean-Claude Van Damme. Van Damme portrays Luc in the 1992 film Universal Soldier and its sequels Universal Soldier: The Return (1999) and Universal Soldier: Regeneration (2009) and Universal Soldier: Day of Reckoning (2012); he is portrayed by Matt Battaglia in the direct-to-video sequels Universal Soldier II: Brothers in Arms (1998) and Universal Soldier III: Unfinished Business (1999).
He first appears in Universal Soldier as GR44, a deceased Vietnam War soldier. Luc becomes a Universal Soldier, or UniSol, after being reanimated in a secret government project, along with other previously dead soldiers. He serves as a remotely controlled super soldier, sent into the most dangerous situations and facing odds too great for the average soldier.
A recurring theme in the series is that he is the only UniSol strong enough to actively resist his conditioning and become more human, though a return to normal functioning seems almost impossible.
In a twist to the usual format of the series, Deveraux serves as the main antagonist in the latest entry, Universal Soldier: Day of Reckoning.
Devereaux was born to Cajun parents and raised in a farm in Louisiana. Most of the details of his childhood are left unexplained, though it is reasonable to surmise that he was born around or before 1948, making him at least 21 when he is deployed to Vietnam.
In 1969 in Vietnam, Luc Deveraux is nearing the end of his tour of duty in the Vietnam war, Luc's friend Sergeant Andrew Scott, went insane and began killing Vietnamese civilians and his own soldiers indiscriminately. After attempting to reason with Scott, Luc attempts to stop him from killing two villagers, resulting in the two soldiers shooting each other to death. Their bodies are recovered from the field and put on ice, and they are falsely listed as "missing in action."
