The Official Cyborg (a.k.a Vic Stone) Respect Thread!

I'm happy Cyborg is in the Justice League, but that look on the new Justice League
reluanch makes him look like a Transformer isntead of his namesake.

Wolfman/Perez did it right and below looks good too.

[Babylon23]

Cyborg had a girlfriend in the Wolfman/Perez days. her name was Sarah Simms. She was a teacher to children with prosthetics. Although, come to think of it, I'm not sure if their relationship ever became a romantic one.

There was also a star labs doctor whose name escapes me.

I'm a huge fan of Vic. He's been a favourite of mine since the New Teen Titans days. It's great to see him step up to the big leagues and finally join the JLA, something that's long overdue.

As for an ongoing, I'd buy it. But I think giving him major exposure in the JLA first is a good step towards increasing his profile before a solo is launched.

This seems to happen a lot with cyborgs, robots and armoured characters (see Iron Man as a classic example). While technology grows sleeker and more compact, for some reason comic characters grow clunkier. I don't see why Vic has to become a Transformer. Surely in an advanced technological world like the DCU he'd actually become more streamlined.

Exactly!

I love Cyborg & I'm happy he's getting his shot in the League but I think his redesign will actively hinder his becoming thought of as an icon.

i enjoyed the cyborg mini and was waiting for him to get his due.

As for someone as a love interest they touch upon that in his mini-series.

[AdamYJ]

You know, I was never a big fan of the New Teen Titans, but I did like him the first time he played with the big leagues.

Maybe Firestorm will be his pal in this version too.

I loved that show. Was one of my first introductions to the Justice League.

And Cyborg was in the Smallville Justice League

So what do you guys think of the DCnU Cyborg look?

Do you prefer his earlier appearances:







or his more current looks




no big change.

Or do you like his new Flash Point appearance.


What do you like and dislike about Cyborg's appearances over the years? Do you like his DCnU look what do you like and don't you like? What would you change if anything?

[Darkrook]

I may be in the minority, but i think he should have a more streamline look to him, along the same lines as Cable, but with maybe flashing a few more pieces of metal but not so much that you look at the man and say "There's no way that dude gets any play" maybe he can do battlefield upgrades that bulk him up alittle in the heat of a fight.

[Hypestyle]

currently, what is the flesh/mechanism ratio in his body? doesn't he have to be at least 51% flesh to be properly considered a cyborg?

[Jabare]

it always seemed rather balanced to me, well until Jim Lee took a swing at him that is

[Flashpoint]

The classic look always works just fine for me...

Our beloved Sarah Simms...



The S.T.A.R. Labs doctor was Sarah Charles.

Lol this is so true. Seriously so true. That is always the first thing that springs to mind.
