History
Origin
Victor Stone was the son of scientists. One was a biomechanics and advanced robotics expert and the other was a nanotechnology and cybernetics expert. He himself was a promising athlete in high school - a track star with an insatiable love for speed. This fed into his love for cars, which, of course, lead him always driving fast. While being reckless one day, Victor was in a horrible car accident that left him in a critical condition.
Victor was rushed to the hospital and probably would have died if his scientist parents hadn't stepped in. Creating artificial limbs and organs, including a mechanical heart, Victor's parents saved their boy's life by turning him into a highly advanced cyborg.
When Victor awoke, he was horrified at what he had become. He tried to return to his normal life, but things weren't the same now that he was mostly mechanical. Frustrated, Victor ran away from home and from his parents, ending up in Jump City. There, he realized his mistake and how ungrateful he had been.
While in hiding, Victor decided to become a superhero and joined the other young heroes Robin, Raven, Starfire, and Beast Boy to become the Teen Titans. Accepting his new condition, Victor took the codename Cyborg. [4] [5]

Powers and Abilities
Powers
- Cybernetic Exoskeleton: Cyborg's abilities/offensive attacks include two Sonic Cannons (one in each arm), a smaller sonic blaster located in his left foot, two sets of missile launchers (one in each shoulder), super-strength, high-end sensor and communication technology, and can also produce several different tools (a saw, a welding torch, a buffer, etc.) from his arms. At one point, he installed a super-processor chip called the Maximum-7 to further increase his abilities, but an overload forced Robin to remove it.[6]
- Enhanced Vision
- Jet-Pack Flight[7]
- Mechanokinesis[8]
- Removable Limbs: Cyborg's robot parts are all removable and some have side-functions when removed. For example, Cyborg's hands can be removed and set to remotely spy on people.[9]
- Sound Manipulation
- Super-Leaping[8]
- Superhuman Digestion: Cyborg is without a doubt the hungriest of the Titans and is capable of consuming more food than his physical size would suggest. His preferred snack is all-meat pizza, [citation needed] but he will enjoy just about anything. He once competed against the cave boy Gnarrk in an eating contest and surprisingly beat him.[10] Cyborg was once chased out of an all-you-can-eat restaurant in Tokyo due to his limitless appetite. [11]
- Superhuman Durability

Abilities
- Athletics: Cyborg was a track star in high school. [12]
- Driving: Cyborg raced cars before his accident that turned him into Cyborg. [13]
- Espionage: Cyborg went undercover at H.I.V.E. Academy as the supervillain "Stone".
- Hand-to-Hand Combat (Basic)
- Indomitable Will: Cyborg was able to overcome the physical limitations of his machine body through sheer will power. He has been shown as being completely resistant to mind control, even when all other Titans had fallen to under the same power. He first chalked this up to only part of his brain being organic, the mechanical part preventing invasion. However, it turned out that it was in not the machine but the man that resisted even the strongest attempts at controlling him.
- Mechanical Engineering: By necessity, Cyborg is an expert in the field of mechanical engineering. In addition to maintaining his own cybernetic systems, Cyborg also invented his own car, which he dubbed the "T-Car".
- Music: Cyborg is very skilled at playing the harmonica.[14]
