An '''Evangelion''' is a giant cybernetic combat unit built by [[NERV]] with the express purpose of defeating attacks by the [[Angels]]. At first glance, Evangelions (often called ''Evas'' for short) appear to be giant humanoid "robots". However, most of an Evangelion is actually organic, with external armor hiding their true appearance. Evangelions are in fact, clones of the First Angel, [[Adam]], (with the exception of Eva Unit 01, which is a clone of the Second Angel, [[Lilith]]), and are really biological entities with biomechanical and cybernetic components grafted onto them, to enhance their abilities as well as allow humans to control them. | An '''Evangelion''' is a giant cybernetic combat unit built by [[NERV]] with the express purpose of defeating attacks by the [[Angels]].

- Misato Katsuragi: "What in hell *is* an Eva?!"
Ritsuko Akagi: "It's a thing created by Man in Man's own image. I really can't describe it any other way".
Misato: ""Created by Man"?! You didn't create anything! You just copied something you found in the Antarctic! What was the original? That's what I want to know!"
Ritsuko: "This is not just a copy".

An Evangelion is a giant cybernetic combat unit built by NERV with the express purpose of defeating attacks by the Angels. At first glance, Evangelions (often called Evas for short) appear to be giant humanoid "robots". However, most of an Evangelion is actually organic, with external armor hiding their true appearance. Evangelions are in fact, clones of the First Angel, Adam, (with the exception of Eva Unit 01, which is a clone of the Second Angel, Lilith), and are really biological entities with biomechanical and cybernetic components grafted onto them, to enhance their abilities as well as allow humans to control them.
Like Angels, Evangelions are capable of producing an A.T. Field, a super-force field against which conventional attacks are useless. Because the only thing that can neutralize an A.T. Field is another A.T. Field, the Evas are mankind's only hope for combating the Angels.
Notes
- According to Ritsuko in Episode 1, the formal full name for the Evangelion Units (almost never actually used) is "Ultimate All-Purpose Humanoid Decisive Battle Weapon: Evangelion".
This article bears the unpleasant designation of "Stub." This is a Bad Thing. Provide a great service to NGE fan-geeks everywhere by making it awesomer!
