Cyborg

Before the implants

Victor Stone was before his days of Cyborg the only son of the scientists known as Silas and Elinore Stone. His parents decided to make an experiment to boost the intellect of a human mind, their first and only subject was their own son, Victor. The experiment was successful and Victor's IQ increased to one of 170.

Victor was once also a normal boy that went to high school, he became one of the most popular and athletic guys in his high school.

One normal day Victor decided to pay a visit to his parents at their work (S.T.A.R. Labs). That day they were working on two confidential projects; one was a long-range inter-dimensional study and observation project, and the second one was the development of cybernetic body parts for physically disabled soldiers. An accident occurred and a creature entered through the dimensional barrier to S.T.A.R. Labs. The creature murdered Victor's mother (Elinore Stone) and critically wounded Victor before his father was able to activate the recall button and send it back to it's own dimension.

Victor's father decided to use the other untested project, using the cybernetic technology he was able to rebuild Victor's body. That was the turning point that made Victor Stone become the hero that would be known as Cyborg.

The New Teen Titans

Some time later Cyborg would be asked by the mysterious Ravento join the new team for young heroes known as "New Teen Titans."

Cyborg quickly started to make friends with the teen titans, they became more than friends to him, they became family. He had a specially close relationship with Changeling (Beast Boy) that relationship would make them best friends.

Some months after that, Cyborg's dad (Silas) would die because of radiation poisoning

Titans Hunt

Titans Hunt was a storyline in which all titans, past and present were hunted and captured by the members of the Wildebeest Society. Cyborg was captured and sent in a rocket that would crash in Russia.

The crash damages badly Cyborg's body leaving it almost dead, however he was found by a group of Russian scientist who were asked by Red Star to save Cyborg and rebuild him. The scientists were successful, Cyborg was saved however he couldn't talk or think anymore, now he was a living machine. After that Cyborg's body had more metal than ever before, the scientists made improvements to his body along with some additions.

Cyberion

The alien race known only as the "Technis" was about to die and fight their extinction, they needed a human body to survive, and they choose Cyborg as their human host. The alien race was saved and Cyborg got back old abilities like the ability to talk as well as new ones. The Technis decided to give a gift to Cyborg, some of those were his new body, his new appearance would make him change his name to Cyberion. The technis asked Cyberion to revive their civilization so he left eath and explored the galaxy for a new home for the technis.

Some time later, Cyberion would encounter his old teamts and close friends, Changeling and Raven as well as another young hero named Minion, they decided to stay with Cyberion and travel with him across the galaxy. However after some time they would leave him, Cyberion was really hurt after that and gave up his humanity. He was now a full machine

Golden Cyborg

Cyberion came back to Earth to turn its moon into a new Technis world and populate it with his friends. However since he had lost his humanity, he started to capture anyone who had ever been a titan instead of only his friends. It was because of this that everyone who had ever been a titan fought the justice league and their allies. The dispute was because the titans wanted to save Cyborg as well as the world, however the JLA wanted to give a priority to the Earth's protection and didn't want to give him a chance. Nightwing convinced Batman to give them a chance and they were able to both save the earth and also save Victor, who was downloaded into the Omegadrome and had a new golden appearance.

Soon after that the five founding titans (Nightwing, Donna Troy, Flash, Red Arrow and Tempest) decided to re-form the team and make a new titans team. They decided that everyone would nominate another candidate for the team, Tempest was the first one to nominate someone, he nominated Cyborg, who gladly accepted.

Cyborg...human?

Dick Grayson (Nightwing) and Jesse Quick's worked together with S.T.A.R. labs to give Cyborg a body cloned from cell samples harvested by the Russian scientists who once spared him. After that, Victor stone became a human once again.

Cyborg again

Victor Stone (Now as a human) made a link with the Thinker's computer in order to stop his plans that were supposed to take over the city, however he became mechanically paralysed, that made him a cyborg once again, who needed the cyber technology to survive.

Mentor of the teen titans

Cyborg, Starfire and Beast Boy decided to create a new teen titans team because the last one broke-up along with young justice after the deaths of Donna Troy and Lilith Clayusing the mentor/student aspect, they invited Robin(Tim Drake), Wonder girl(Cassie Sandmark), Superboy and Impulse.

Year one later

After the infinite crisis the DCU skipped one year, during this missing year Cyborg was fused to Firestorm and entered into a coma.

When he finally woke up he learned that the teen titans had dramatically changed. Wonder Girl, Speedy, Kid Flash, Raven and Beast Boy had left the team, Starfire was lost in space and Superboy was dead.

Along with Robin, Kid Devil, Ravager and Wonder Girl (who had just rejoined) he started a quest for Raven

Powers

Victor was very badly wounded in the accident and had many electronic parts fused to him.

With his arms, Victor can lift massive amounts of weight. Victor can bench press about 30 tons and has great stamina.

Victor's right hand can be remotely controlled by him and has a camera built into one of the fingers.

Victor can transform his left arm into a sonic cannon. This powerful weapon can easily punch a hole through concrete. A downside of using his sonic cannon is that it drains his battery rapidly.

Due to the robotics, Victor has limits to what he can accomplish. Under very rare situations, Victor can use the human in him to go beyond 100%. In a fight against Atlas, Cyborg was reaching 100% quickly while Atlas was still getting warmed up. In the final fight with Atlas, Victor's readout screen cracks and he uses 130% of his strength to defeat Atlas. in a fight with his team against Plasmus, he lifted an entire building.

Weaknesses

Due to the machinery, Victor needs recharging. He can run for 24 hours on a single charge. Each charging takes 15 minutes. If Victor cannot find an electrical plug in he will shut down, and if he is not treated to quickly he will die.
