COMPLICATIONS:Daddy Issues: He and his father remain on distant terms
The Hero Rebuilt:b] Victor Stone’s body has been rebuilt nearly from scratch several times, and echoes of those traumas still haunt him
[b] Insecurity: Particularly when it comes to his relationships, Cyborg is quietly unsure if others see him as a man or as a machine
Man and Machine: While his human side is a part of Victor’s strength, it is also an element of his construction that is occasionally vulnerable
Vulnerable: His Molybdenum body parts are vulnerable to magnetic attacks
Abilities 64 + Skills 12 (24 ranks) + Advantages 15 + Powers 187 + Defenses 15 = 293 / 293Comments: As a black kid growing up reading Marv Wolfman’s Teen Titans run, I was a huge Victor Stone fan (actually, I was more of a Beast Boy fan because I could empathize with his goofiness) so I am glad he’s getting some major props in the new Justice League book. Granted, I’m sure he was an equality hire, but I think he was the best option since even though J’onn’s telepath role is important, they did always seem light on tech, even with Bruce.
Victor’s new Father Box based Cyborg body is FAR more expensive than his classic version. Granted, I pumped him up a bit to be one of the top level heroes in my setting, but just adding that Boom Tube power added a ton of points. I also added more skills to him to make him truly connected to all computers on the planet (even the Batcomputer, as he mentioned to Batman in JL#9).
In my setting, Victor’s background is a hybrid of his new origin and his classic incarnation. He received his cyborg parts from Father Box tech that his father was experiementing on and used to save Victor’s life when he was caught in an accident at his lab during Darkseid’s initial invasion attack. He helped The League defeat him, but he didn’t stay with The League, he ended up hooking up with Nightwing and the Teen Titans where he became best friends with Beast Boy (I had to preserve one of the great bromances in DC history) and close to Donna Troy, Dick, Roy, Wally, Kori and others. After the Civil War and the changes with the Titans and their affliation to the Justice Society Initiative, he accepted Batman’s invitation to re-join the League, where he spends most of his time now.
