Cyborg

Cyborg (Victor "Vic" Stone) is a DC Comics character from Prime Earth, first appearing in Flashpoint Vol 2 5, created by Marv Wolfman; George Pérez.

Cyborg is the superhero identity of Victor "Vic" Stone, a young man whose body was largely rebuilt with advanced cybernetic technology after a catastrophic accident. Created by Marv Wolfman and George Pérez, he debuted in 1980 and became one of DC Comics' most prominent Black heroes, first as a cornerstone of the Teen Titans and later as a founding member of the Justice League in the New 52 era. On Prime Earth, his continuity was reintroduced beginning with the Flashpoint event, and he has been depicted as both a heroic adventurer and a symbol of the tension between humanity and machine.

Vic's cybernetic body grants him superhuman strength and durability, enhanced senses, and an array of built-in weapons and tools, most famously his sonic cannon. His systems allow him to interface with computers and networks, hack and control machinery, and reconfigure his own components into new devices; in some stories he can also boom tube across vast distances thanks to New Genesis technology integrated into his frame. Beyond his hardware, he is a gifted athlete and a skilled technician and strategist.

Vic was the son of scientists whose experiments left him gravely injured, prompting his father Silas to save his life with experimental prosthetics that left him more machine than man. Struggling with his changed body and his strained relationship with his father, he found purpose alongside other young heroes, becoming a mainstay of the Teen Titans and Titans. In later continuity he joined the Justice League at its formation and has served with teams such as Justice League Odyssey and Justice League Unlimited, while storylines have explored his connection to Apokoliptian and New God technology, earning him titles like "New God of Code."

His father, Silas Stone, is the scientist who rebuilt him and is depicted as deceased in more recent continuity, while his mother is Elinore Stone. Related figures include the malevolent robotic duplicate Grid and the clone Haldus. His closest bonds are with his fellow Titans, particularly Beast Boy, Raven, Starfire and Nightwing, with whom he shares a long-running found-family dynamic.

Cyborg is most closely associated with the Teen Titans and the adult Titans, and with the Justice League in its various incarnations. He has also served with Justice League Odyssey, Justice League Red, Justice League: Team Wisdom, and Justice League Unlimited.

Cyborg maintains a public identity, as his appearance makes concealment impractical, and his catchphrase "Booyah" became widely recognized through animated adaptations. He has been a central figure in the Teen Titans and Teen Titans Go! cartoons, appeared in live-action films, and headlined his own solo series. Aliases attributed to him include Cybeast and the New God of Code.
