During a heist of his father's lab, Victor Stone is horribly disfigured by an explosion. Though he survives, it only after a large portion of his body is given cybernetic enhancement. Believing himself to now be an outcast, Victor becomes reclusive until none other than Dick Grayson, having decided to part ways with Batman, convinces him to form a team of protectors to watch over Blüdhaven and find his father's killer.
