Cyborg
Origins - Vic Stone was the son of a pair of scientists who decided to use him as a test subject for various intelligence enhancement projects. One day when he visited his parents at work at S.T.A.R. Labs an experiment in dimensional travel went horribly awry when a massive gelatinous monster crossed over an experimental portal and killed Victor's mother. The creature then turned on Victor and severely mutilated him before his father managed to force the creature back through the portal. To save his son, Victor's father outfitted him with experimental prostheses of his own design. Upon release from medical care, he found his life was seriously inconvenienced with the fearful reactions of the public at his implants; even his girlfriend rejected him. He joined the Teen Titans, initially for the benefit of a support group of kindred spirits and freaks. Throughout his association with the Titans, Victor has been destroyed, reconstructed, assimilated by an alien race, and had his humanity restored. Cyborg always had a problem with his humanity. Since he had lost most of his body in the accident; he had always been challenged to maintain his human-side along living with his robotic body. After a while Cyborg began to upgrade his body with new powers, weapons, and abilities. He became more of a robot; his voice changed and his mannerisms were more technical. Although he maintained he was still human; not much was left. After being severely damaged during the events of Infinite Crisis, Cyborg was rebuilt over time. He awoke one year later to find a wholly different group of Titans led by Robin (Tim Drake), the only member from the team he remembered. Cyborg felt that members such as Kid Devil and Ravager were hardly worthy of being Titans, and thus was attempting to find a way to re-form "the real Titans". After returning to Titans Tower, Cyborg began reviewing the security tapes during the last year, in which it appears that he was looked to by all the Titans of the past year for a shoulder to lean on, despite being in a coma-like state. Although Cyborg did retain the position of statesman amongst the Teen Titans and occasionally played second-in-command to Robin's lead, he no longer operated as a Titan in any official capacity. When the Titans fell apart again, Cyborg joined the JLA alongside Dick Grayson (as Batman) and Donna Troy. Officially on the team, he did not enter the field of battle much. Instead, he devoted his time to helping improve the Red Tornado's android body.
Powers and Abilities - Cyborg possesses cybernetic enhancements that provide superhuman strength, speed, endurance, and durability. Cyborg can also interface with computers. Built into his body-armor is an infrared eye, computer generator, sound amplifier, and special programming adapters that allowed him to interface with other body extensions. Additionally, he possesses an "exceptionally gifted" level of intelligence; his IQ has been measured at 170. The nature of Cyborg's body provides him with natural body armor offering resistance versus physical damage and energy attacks. At optimal capacity, Vic can lift/press in excess of four metric tons. If he pushes himself, he can even exceed five tons, but not without causing severe stress to his cybernetic components. Cyborg's upper strength limits have fluctuated with upgrades to his systems over time. He possessed a degree of super speed and can leap great distances. His bones are reinforced with molybdenum-steel. His arsenal included a finger laser attachment, telescopic eyepiece, sonic disruptor, electric shockers, grappling hooks, and winches.
Weakness and Limitations - Cyborg is prone to rust.
