Victor Stone is a former college athlete and football star. Following a horrific accident that resulted in the death of his mother, Victor was gravely injured and was extremely close to death. His father, Silas Stone, was able to save him via the use of a Mother Box that crafted cybernetics onto his body, managing to save his life but leaving him alienated and detached from the rest of humanity due to various complications with his new form. He would eventually be recruited by Wonder Woman to become a member of the Justice League, to help defend Earth against the imminent alien invasion of Steppenwolf and his Parademon army. Shortly after joining the team, Victor assisted the Batman and the Flash in resurrecting Superman from the dead. With the team now fully assembled, Cyborg contributes to the successful offensive against Steppenwolf, forcing the alien invasion into retreat. Following this, Victor finally reveals himself to the world, officially becoming a superhero and nicknamed Cyborg, having further plans for the newly-founded Justice League alongside Batman.
