Like The Mayor from Ex machina.

I think he will. Look at the first 2 Justice League images for the DCnU we have his blaster designs are differen't. He seems to have one on his right and left hand.

The blaster on his right hand seems to resemble more of a laser/typical scifi blaster.

And the weapon on his left hand in the full Justice League pic almost looks like a mini scifi gatling gun with the way that material wraps around to the back of his arm.

But you never know what those weapons could actually end up being so I'm not going to try and guess.

Okay, time for the old-tech, uninformed, dial-up user to ask: what's a "cyberpath"? Is that a psychopath with cyber capabilities?!?

Someone who can interface with, access and control machines with their mind. Sometimes also called a "technopath". I think Madison Jeffries (aka Box) from the old Alpha Flight series was one. Also, the villian from the Disney movie Sky High was one.

Oh, it seems pretty obvious that this is how Geoff Johns is likely repositioning Cyborg: as the tech-savvy, computer-trendsetting Iron Man of the DCU.

I think it'll work, too.

What type of enemies do you see Cyborg Facing? I'm hoping for alot of tech based robot enemies. I would also like to see him fight Godzilla style giant monster villains.

**1505627** · 07-15-2011, 01:30 PM

you know what i'd like to see? cyborg fighting a robot villain and defeating him by downloading harmful webpages into his brain. i'd pay anything to see a villain defeated by weaponizing My Immortal, internet porn, and 4chan

Looks like Cyborg just got snubbed by DC direct.

I don't understand why Cyborg isn't included here if he is truly one of the main 7 members

I liked that he had his own Cyborg Revenge Squad in his miniseries from a few years ago. I also didn't mind the Phantom Limbs from the same mini, although I would want them to be updated.

I also would like to see more of Cyborgirl as well. She seemed like a nice evil analog to Cyborg.

I think Jim Lee mentioned that he made many designs for cyborg if you realized both new JL pictures have different armors, and he was told to only stick to one for toys and merchandise, I guess thats why theyre delay the toy due to them looking for the best cyborg armor

He used to be like this, during the Titans run of the 90's. He was gold, as I recall, could appear human and interface with technology a la 'cyberpathy.' Off the top of my head, I remember him containing a nuclear blast with his gold form, so it was pretty tough.
