Warner Bros are playing catchup with Marvel in the race to bringing their superheroes to life on the big screen. One of those upcoming heroes includes a member of the Justice League with incredible power and strength, Cyborg. The movie is slated for release around 3 April 2020.
Not only has the character's solo movie been confirmed but also who will be the titanium / human. Warner Bros has opted for actor Ray Fisher. Fisher has already been confirmed to star in Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016) and The Justice League: Part One (2017).
WHO AND WHAT IS CYBORG? ... Powers and Abilities
Large portions of Victor Stone's body have been replaced by advanced mechanical parts (hence the name Cyborg), granting him superhuman strength, speed, stamina, and flight. His mechanically-enhanced body, much of which is metallic, is far more durable than a normal human body. Cyborg's internal computer system can interface with external computers. Other features include an electronic 'eye' which replicates vision, but at a superhuman level. His mechanical parts contain a wide variety of tools and weapons, such as a grappling hook/line and a finger-mounted laser. Perhaps his most frequently-used weapon is his sound amplifier (often referred to as his "white sound blaster" in the comic books; the Teen Titans animated series calls it a "sonic cannon"), which can be employed at various settings either to stun the ears of his foes or to deliver concentrated blasts of sound potent enough to shatter rock or deform steel.In addition to his mechanical enhancements, Stone possesses an "exceptionally gifted" level of intelligence; his IQ has been measured at 170.
Cyborg has tinkered over time with his cybernetic parts, enhancing his functions and abilities to levels beyond those set by his father. One feature that sets him apart from the "mass production" version built by Project M is a self-repair system, able to flawlessly repair the mechanical parts of his body, no matter how worn out they are, and even improve the health of the still biological parts to an unknown degree.
Cyborg's New 52 (DCnU) functions
- Cybernetics: Cyborg possesses cybernetic enhancements that provide superhuman strength, endurance and durability. Cyborg can also interface with computers. Built into his body-armor are an infrared eye with HUD, computer generator, sound amplifier (similar to a sonic cannon), and special programming adapters that allow him to interface with other body extensions.
- Body Resistance: The nature of Cyborg's body provides him with natural body armor offering resistance versus physical damage and energy attacks.
- Superhuman Strength: At optimal capacity, Vic can lift/press in excess of several tons. Cyborg's upper strength limits have fluctuated with upgrades to his systems over time.
- Superhuman Speed: He possessed a degree of superspeed and could leap great distances.
- Superhuman Endurance
- Superhuman Durability: His bones are reinforced with molybdenum-steel.
- Computer Interfacing
- Flight: Powered by boot jets
- Integrated Weapons
- Sensor Systems
- Teleportation: Due to interfacing with a Mother box, Cyborg can open a Boom Tube extra-dimensional point-to-point travel portal to teleport him and his companions. However, when transporting groups his transporter can get overloaded, roughly one out of every 1,000 times, and ends up transporting all those teleported to Apokolips.
- As part of the events of the Throne of Atlantis Aquaman crossover, Cyborg's lungs were replaced by cybernetic lungs that allow him to breathe underwater
