| ~ Cyborg |
Victor Stone is the son of Dr. Silas Stone and the former quarterback of the Titans. After holding a Mother Box as it activated, his father's team at S.T.A.R. Labs attempted to save his life by graphing experimental skin graphs onto him, though the machine used was graphed to his body instead, turning him into a Cyborg. He helped defeat Darkseid and his forces, becoming a founding member of the Justice League afterwards. Later on, he also temporarily joined the Teen Titans.
History[]
Early life[]
At some unknown point in time, Victor's mother died, and he was taken care of by his father solely. He later went on to become a high school football star, though his father disapproved. He was nicknamed "Victory".
Justice League: War[]
Victor Stone and his high school football team were playing against another team in the state finals with Victor's team winning and heading to nationals. Victory looked up to see if his father arrived, but he only saw Billy Batson sitting in his seat instead.
Later, in the locker room, Victor called his dad, hoping for him to call and later, when Billy Batson was running from security for sneaking into the game, Victor helped Billy hide in the locker room. Victor and Billy had a good conversation before Billy ran off with one of Victor's jerseys.
Victor later confronted his father, Silas, at S.T.A.R Labs. While Silas tried to shrug Victor off, Victor told Silas to make time. Victory told his father that people think he can play with the best of the best and asked his father why can't he think so too. Silas told Victor they were witnessing the birth of a new race of superhumans and in that world, throwing a football is a joke and that anything Victor did compared to them was obsolete. When Victor asked if his father would come to any of his games, Silas deliberately said no.
When the mother boxes activated, Silas ignored Victor and in anger, Victor stole the mother box his father was studying and the mother box exploded. Victor was hit with the energy. Barely alive, Victor was brought by his father to an advanced machine assembled by him from technology across the world. Silas attempted to use the machine to heal Victor, but the process ended up with the machine fusing to his body. At first, he was completely covered by metal, but some parts broke off his face during a battle with Parademons invaded the room. After defeating the Parademons with the help of The Flash, Victor was horrified at what he had become and criticized his father as making him another one of his experiments was what it took to finally care about him.
Victor went into the next room and found a mother box where he learned of the Parademons' history and plans of terraforming worlds for their leader, Darkseid. Victor placed the mother box in his robotic arm for safe-keeping.
Later, Victor arrived in Metropolis with the Flash, Batman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, and Superman. Wonder Woman, thinking Victor was a Parademon, attacked him, but Victor's armor blasted Wonder Woman back. Superman planned to attack Victor with his heat vision, but Cyborg insisted he was not with the Parademons. The Flash stopped Superman from attacking and vouched for Victor. Shazam arrived and claimed he was with Victor, but Victor denied it. Cyborg then explained to the heroes that the Parademons planned to terraform the Earth and witness the arrival of their leader, Darkseid. After Darkseid defeated the heroes one by one, Superman was captured and Batman went to rescue him from Apokolips.
Green Lantern gathered the heroes together and Cyborg agreed that they should work together as a team. The heroes planned to blind Darkseid, and when the Flash asked about the invasion, Cyborg said he might be able to send them back where they came from which was good enough for Green Lantern.
Cyborg and Shazam talked and Cyborg questioned how Shazam knew him, Shazam said he was a fan and everyone knows "Victory Stone". Victor claimed he was not that guy any more and called himself "A terminator, an android, some kind of Cyborg." Cyborg insisted he didn't have a place anywhere any more. After saving a crowd of people with Shazam from Parademons, Shazam told Cyborg it looked like his place was with humans. Cyborg helped the heroes fight Darksied.
The heroes managed to blind Darkseid but he still fought back. Cyborg came up with the idea to send Darkseid home by speaking the language of the mother boxes. Cyborg flew into the sky for altitude and activated the mother box, sending the Parademons back to Apokolips but leaving Darkseid who fought to stay on Earth. Cyborg tried to close the portal but the mother box didsn't respond repeatedly until Shazam helped Cyborg power the mother box to close the portal, trapping Darkseid and sending him to Apokolips. The aftershock blasted both Cyborg and Shazam who turned back into Billy Batson, the kid Victor saved before. Cyborg caught Billy and left him in an apartment building. Billy asked Cyborg to keep his identity a secret and Cyborg agreed, calling it their secret.
Cyborg helped cover Billy Batson's identity by saying Shazam took off because he had a hot date.
Later, as the heroes were congratulated for their efforts to stop Darkseid and his forces, Cyborg and Shazam talked. Silas was there in the audience finally proud of his son.
Justice League: Throne of Atlantis[]
Victor dreamt that he was human again, jogging with a girl until he saw his cyborg body, he refused to leave, but woke up and saw Dr. Sarah Charles in the room. She allowed him to call her Sarah and she said she just came to see him after the surgery he had. After Sarah left, Victor received a call from his father, but he ignored it. Colonel Steve Trevor came in and showed Victor the sounds of the attacked submarine. He resides at the Hall of Justice, which was built for the Justice League; however, only Shazam comes to visit. Cyborg explains that "there is no Justice League" - it's just something the human race came up with to make themselves feel safe. He also has had some of his remaining internal organs replaced with machinery, allowing him to spend extended periods underwater or in space. A former assistant of his father's, who has a crush on him, tries numerous times throughout the film to ask him on date, but her indirect methods fail. When Shazam tells Cyborg he's acting like his dad, both workaholics, Cyborg tells him he's not like his dad. Cyborg proves valuable as he can project images of what he's seen; this allows him to broadcast Ocean Master's boasting about killing his mother, thus making the Atlanteans ally themselves with the hybrid Arthur Curry/Aquaman, the only other heir to the earth.
Justice League vs. Teen Titans[]
Cyborg is among the Justice League in the fight against the Legion of Doom.
Later, the interdimensional demon, Trigon, unleashes numerous Corruptors that possess the Justice League, except for Batman who poisons himself with a neurotoxin. The possessed League fight the Teen Titans in order to convince Raven to surrender to her father, Trigon's plans. The Titans are able to hold their own, but are ultimately defeated. The possessed League threatens to kill the Titans unless Raven submits, which she does, demanding they don't kill her friends. Raven generates a portal to transport herself and the possessed to the unearthed shrine of Trigon; before Cyborg can leave, Blue Beetle launched a probe that attached to the back of his neck, unleashing a powerful electronic surge, which purged the Corruptor from Cyborg, thus freeing him.
Due to Batman's self-injury and Cyborg's electrocution, the Titans realise that sufficient damage to a host can eject the Corruptor, however, they struggle to know the next step since they don't know Raven's location. Robin corrects the team by revealing he had placed tracers on each Titan, Raven included.
Thanks to Cyborg's boom tubes, he and the Titans are able to instantly transport to the shrine's location near Kahndaq City; when possessed Superman flies to intercept them, Robin stabbed him with a shard of kryptonite he had handy, freeing the Man of Steel from his Corruptor. Superman is able to free the Flash and Wonder Woman from Trigon's Corruptors. The heroes find Raven having her energy drained by the shrine, which appeared to cease; they ensure she safely reached the ground. While they believe the danger had been averted, Raven sadly corrected that they were too late, as the shrine opens a gate that allowed Trigon to arrive on Earth.
The Justice League work to delay Trigon's path of destruction, whereas Cyborg and the Titans enter Trigon's home hell dimension, as Raven explained that only the magic crystal within the hell's core can stop Trigon by imprisoning him within it. Cyborg aids the majority of the Titans as they fight off hellspawn and more of Trigon's short-lived demonic sons, so that Raven can reach the crystal, and she is joined by Robin.
Raven is able to use a sliver of the shattered crystal to drag Trigon back into Hell, and trapped him within the gem. Due to their effective teamwork, Blue Beetle and Beast Boy suggest that Cyborg leave the League and join the Titans; he appreciated the offer, and noted that it is appealing, but finds the prestige of the League too compelling to abandon.
Despite his rejection to enroll in the team, Cyborg began to regularly visit the Titans for social interaction. One such time he brings pizza via boom tube, and he accidentally interrupted a video communication the Titans were having with the League; the latter seemed amused, but overall indifferent to Cyborg's socialising with the Titans, even though Cyborg himself noted it was an awkward occurrence.
Cyborg observed the gem on Raven's forehead, and asked if that is the one with Trigon imprisoned, which Raven confirmed, while making a sardonic joke mocking her father's claims that they would be "together forever."
The Death of Superman[]
Cyborg appears in this movie, fighting the monstrous supervillain Doomsday. He nearly died in the battle, losing his arms and having his chest cover exposed.
Reign of the Supermen[]
Cyborg appears with the Justice League, still mourning Superman's death. The League are trapped beneath a falling boom tube that transported the team to a different dimension. Thanks to Lex Luthor using a recovered mother box, the League are returned to Earth; they help defend Metropolis from Cyborg Superman's Cyber Corps. When the threat is beaten, he - like the rest of the League - is surprised but thrilled by the revelation of Superman's resurrection.
Justice League Dark: Apokolips War[]
He participates in Superman's failed attack on Darkseid; it failed largely because Darkseid knew it was coming, since Cyborg's Apokoliptan cybernetics were accessible to the New God, who thus observed every Justice League meeting and plan, therefore could counter them all. Darkseid also kept hidden his latest army of creatures made by combining the genetic structure of Doomsday with Parademons, making Paradooms that overwhelm the League. Darkseid fuses Cyborg into his palace to use him as a boost to his mainframe servers, and to keep his cybernetic and indoctrinated Furies under control.
Cyborg is eventually freed by a new squad lead by Superman and Constantine; however, he remains fused to the building, and cannot be removed, as not enough of his biological material remains to survive if he were removed from the wall.
In a last gambit to pull all of the Paradooms from Earth and Apokalips itself, Cyborg used boom tubes to return them to Apokolips; he then volunteered to open a planetary boom tube to pull Darkseid and his empire into an inescapable void. While the heroes try to dissuade him, he notes that it is the only option and he is doomed to die anyway.
The heroes and de-programmed heroes are portal back to Earth, while Darkseid is delayed by a recently embodied and joyous Trigon. Cyborg, with a defiant, "suck it, bitches," engages the massive boom tube, which drags and destroys Apokolips into it; Darkseid tries to flee, but is withstrain by Trigon, thus both deities fall into the abyss, while the planet explodes, presumably killing Cyborg, but the boom tube remained open long enough to drag in the dark world's remnants before slamming shut.
Teen Titans Go! vs. Teen Titans[]
Cyborg appears in this movie, where he meets his counterpart from the Go! universe and his counterpart from the 2003 universe. He joined the battle against Hexagon, and provided support when The Unkindness managed to defeat and defuse the two fused Trigons.
Personality[]
Before becoming Cyborg, all Victor wanted to do was to make his dad proud by playing football.
While resentful at his father for his experiments changing him into being more machine than man, after fighting alongside the Justice League, he appreciated his new form, and accepting the duty it opened for him, thereby forgave his father; that said, his relationship with his father was still occasionally awkward.
His insecurity about his cybernetic form made him unwilling to even consider engaging in romantic relationships, even putting up an emotional wall when Dr. Sarah Charles did hint at having an interest in him. However, eventually, he overcame his fear, and commenced a relationship with Sarah.
He generally accepted being the youngest member of the Justice League, but after working with the Teen Titans, he enjoyed feeling like a mentor; while he remained in the League, he would sometimes spend social time with the Titans due to admiring them and finding purpose as a guide for the younger generation of heroes.
He is considerate yet also pragmatic, both qualities often working to his advantage. To finally end the threat of Darkseid, he offers to sacrifice himself in an immense boom tube, which he concludes is the only option. Despite his initial frustration upon his transformation into a cybernetic organism, he held no spite nor sorrow about sacrificing himself at the end; he had no way to escape anyway, and this way his decision would mean something, saving the universe.
