Biography

Victor Stone was a star athlete with a genius-level intellect and a complicated relationship with his parents, both scientists at S.T.A.R. Labs. When an interdimensional experiment went catastrophically wrong, Vic was nearly killed β€” his body destroyed beyond any normal medical recovery. His father Silas Stone saved his life the only way he could: by replacing the damaged tissue with experimental cybernetic prosthetics. Vic woke up half machine, furious at the father who saved him, and terrified of what he had become.

Created by Marv Wolfman and George PΓ©rez in DC Comics Presents #26 (1980), Cyborg was immediately placed at the center of the New Teen Titans β€” the team that became DC's most popular book of the 1980s. While Robin led and Starfire dazzled, Cyborg was the heart. His struggle with identity β€” man or machine, human or other β€” mirrored the Titans' theme of young outsiders finding family. Wolfman wrote Vic's relationship with his father as the emotional engine of the character: the man who gave him life, took his body, and gave him back something he never asked for.

In the New 52 (2011), Geoff Johns elevated Cyborg from Titan to Justice Leaguer, making him a founding member of the JLA alongside Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman. His origin was reimagined with Apokoliptian Mother Box technology, giving him Boom Tube teleportation and a direct connection to the technology of the New Gods. David F. Walker and John Semper Jr. wrote Cyborg solo series that explored Vic's identity in depth.

Ray Fisher portrayed Victor Stone in the DCEU's Justice League (2017), and the animated Teen Titans series made Cyborg beloved by an entire generation. In the comics, Vic Stone remains what Wolfman and PΓ©rez always intended: a young man who lost his body but never lost himself. The machine is what he is. The man is who he is. And the heart that beats inside the metal is the most human thing about the Teen Titans.
