Character Profile

“The Regime is making a comeback” –  Cyborg encounter with Green Lantern

Real Name: Victor “Vic” Stone
Gender: Male
Species: Metahuman
Debut: DC Comics Presents #26
Voice: Khary Payton

What little remains of Victor Stone’s body is protected by Promethium metal shaped into a mechanical exo-skeleton, armed with advanced weaponry and constantly synced to the internet 24/7, allowing Cyborg complete and total access to all information stored in the world wide web.

Though his arsenal his impressive, Cyborg’s real talent is his computer skills. Victor can navigate and coordinate massive strikes through his natural connection to the web, and hack through almost any security system and take complete control of it himself, so long as he remains conscious during the takeover. If he is knocked unconscious during, or hacked himself, the feedback can knock him unconscious.
