Legends of Tommorrow : You Have Failed This City!
Now for those who have been watching DC's legends of tomorrow its been a interesting ride so far so. Many viewers say the show is a hit and miss that they can't get into it.
I will just say watch it and you be your own judge I personally love it so far an this Thursday is a dream come true of sorts.
We last left the team in 1986 in the USSR things got pretty bad to say the least torture is involved. There was a female soviet Fire Storm Yes Vandal Savage tried to go there. Now Spoiler Alert if you haven't caught up with the show watch the latest episode on The CW App or Website first.
The Team is attacked by chornos this attack send's our misguided team of time traveling misfit's to the Time 2046 Sara recognizes her home star city has turned to hell. The team then bumps into a Green Hooded Archer but he is not Oliver Queen he is Connor Hawke the second man to take the Green Arrow mantle.
But he is not Oliver's Son so why the picture of Oliver Queen with the goatee? why does it matter. This my friend is the Old man Oliver Queen from The Dark Knight Return's universe it does also look like he is Sporting a Prosthetic Arm as Well.
For who haven't read the Dark Knight returns a older Oliver Takes out Superman with a Krpytonite Arrow with one Arm and his Teeth Giving Batman an edge for his an superman's fight.
Now apparently people think Oliver is Dead in 2046 the team finds out otherwise. There is also another special guest running around in Star City Slade Wilson better known as Death Stroke is Back now. We know Oliver an Slade have a history and Bad Blood so this confrontation will be epic to say the least.
My question can The team help out Old Man Oliver as well as the new Green Arrow and save this Star City of 2046 or is it fate?
All I know is this is the closest way to reference both Batman and Superman in This Universe which is awesome because Rip Hunter did say " I've seen Men of Steel Die and Dark Knight's Fall".
Will we get to see that as well? who knows all I know is it is a great time to be into superhero TV Shows as well lets see where this goes.

Luke Cage : Hero For Hire
Born and raised in harlem Lucas spent his youth in a gang called the Rivals. With his friend Willis Stryker he fights the rival gang the Diablos and commits petty crimes, often on the behalf of deformed mobster Sonny "Hammer" Caputo. He seeks to better himself as an adult by finding legitimate employment. Meanwhile, Stryker rises through the ranks of crime, but the two men remain friends. When Stryker's activities anger the Maggia syndicate he is badly beaten in a mob hit,saved only by Lucas's intervention. When Stryker's girlfriend, Reva Connors, breaks up with him in fear of his violent work, she seeks solace with Lucas. Stryker is convinced that Lucas is responsible for the breakup, so he plants heroin in Lucas's apartment and tips off the police. Lucas is arrested and sent to prison where contact with his family is sparse due to the resentment of his brother James Jr., who intercepts Lucas's letters to their father James and eventually leads each to believe the other is dead. Lucas is consumed by rage over Stryker's betrayal and his father's supposed death, engaging in frequent brawls and escape attempts. Eventually transferred to Seagate Prison off the coast of Georgia, he becomes the favorite target of sadistic guard Albert "Billy Bob" Rackham, whose brutality ultimately leads to a demotion that he blames on Lucas. Later, research scientist Dr. Noah Burstein recruits Lucas as a volunteer for experimental cell regeneration based on a variant of the Super-Soldier process he had previously used to empower Warhawk. Burstein immerses Lucas in an electrical field conducted by an organic chemical compound; when he leaves Lucas unattended, Rackham alters the experiment's controls, hoping to maim or kill Lucas. Lucas' treatment is accelerated past its intended limits, inducing body-wide enhancements that give him superhuman strength and durability. He uses his new power to escape Seagate and makes his way back to New York, where a chance encounter with criminals inspires him to use his new powers for profit. Luke Cage possesses superhuman strength and stamina, and has extremely dense skin and muscle tissue, which render him highly resistant to physical injury. Cage possesses these abilities as a result of a cellular regeneration experiment which fortified the various tissues of his body. His skin can resist high-caliber bullets, puncture wounds, corrosives, biological attacks, and extreme temperatures and pressures without sustaining damage in other words he is indestructible. A second exposure to experiments further enhanced his strength and durability. The same experiment which granted him his great strength and durability has also given him a faster-than-normal recovery time from injury. Luke Cage is an exceptional street fighter and was a gifted athlete before receiving superhuman abilities. He has also studied martial arts under Iron Fist's instruction learning how to couple leverage with his strength in order to increase his combat effectiveness against more powerful opponents and he is Pretty damn good at it. I am looking forward to seeing more of Mike Colter's portrayal of Luke Cage on the Second season Of Netflix's Jessica Jones. But I am more excited for Luke Cage's own Netflix series coming in November this year. Cage is one of those unrated characters that a lot of people in Marvel enjoy stepping up but Cage is no where near Afraid. That is not because he knows he has power its because he has the confidence to go head to head with anyone.
Storm : Mistress of The elements
Ororo Monroe First Appeared in Giant Sized Xmen # 1 in May of 1975 she was created by writer Len Wein and artist Dave Cockrum. She is a member of the X-Men, a group of mutant heroes who fight for peace and equality between mutants and humans If you did not know what their mission is already . Possessed of natural leadership skills and some of the most formidable powers in her team, Storm has led the X-Men from time to time, and has also been a member of the Avengers and the Fantastic Four. As an adult, Storm married her fellow superhero Black Panther, and was by marriage made queen consort of the African nation of Wakanda, but lost this title when they divorced. n Uncanny X-Men #102 (December 1976), Claremont established Storm's back story. Storm's mother, N'Dare, was the princess of a tribe in Kenya and descended from a long line of African witch-priestesses with white hair, blue eyes, and a natural gift for sorcery. N'Dare falls in love with and marries American photojournalist David Munroe.
They move to Harlem , where Ororo is born. They later moved to Egypt and lived there until they die during the Suez Crisis in a botched aircraft attack, leaving six-year-old Ororo as an orphan. Her violent claustrophobia is established as a result of being buried under tons of rubble after that attack. She becomes a skilled thief in Cairo under the benign Achmed el-Gibar and wanders into the Serengeti as a young woman. She is worshiped as a goddess when her powers appear before being recruited by Professor X for the X-Men.
They move to Harlem , where Ororo is born. They later moved to Egypt and lived there until they die during the Suez Crisis in a botched aircraft attack, leaving six-year-old Ororo as an orphan. Her violent claustrophobia is established as a result of being buried under tons of rubble after that attack. She becomes a skilled thief in Cairo under the benign Achmed el-Gibar and wanders into the Serengeti as a young woman. She is worshiped as a goddess when her powers appear before being recruited by Professor X for the X-Men.
Claremont further fleshed out Storm’s back story in Uncanny X-Men #117 (January 1979). He retroactively added that Professor X, who recruits her in Giant Size X-Men #1 of 1975, had already met her as a child in Cairo. As Ororo grows up on the streets and becomes a proficient thief under the tutelage of master thief Achmed el-Gibar, one of her most notable victims was Charles Francis Xavier, later Professor X.
He is able to use his mental powers to temporarily prevent her escape and recognizes the potential in her. However, when Xavier is attacked mentally by Amahl Farouk, the Shadow King, the two men are preoccupied enough with their battle to allow the girl to escape.
Both Xavier and the Shadow King recognize Storm as the young girl later on. In the following issues, Claremont portrayed Storm as a serene, independent character. Although Storm was initially written having trouble adjusting to Western culture, e.g. calling the obligation to wear clothing in public bath "absurd",she earns a lot of respect: in Uncanny X-Men #139 (November 1980), Claremont established her as the leader of the X-Men after Cyclops took a leave of absence, a position she holds in various incarnations. Claremont also made Storm especially harbor motherly feelings for the youngest X-Man, 13-year-old Kitty Pryde. In Marvel Team-Up #100 (December 1980), Claremont wrote a short story in which he retroactively established that Storm, then 12 years old, saves a young Black Panther from racist thugs when they both are in Kenya. This story would later become a base for later writers to establish a deeper relationship between both characters.
In the early 1980s, adventures of Storm written by Claremont included a space opera arc, in which the X-Men fight parasitic beings called the Brood. Storm is infected with a Brood egg and contemplates suicide, but then experiences a last-minute save by the benign whale-like Acanti aliens.[ In the following arc, Claremont further established Storm's character strength. He wrote a story in which Storm's fellow X-Man Angel is abducted by a rogue mutant group called the Morlocks. The X-Men are outnumbered, and Storm is rendered sick by the Morlock called Plague. To save Kitty's life, Storm challenges the Morlocks' leader Callisto, in a duel to the death for leadership of the Morlocks. Despite being violently sick, she defeats Callisto by stabbing her with a knife. Callisto is saved through the efforts of a Morlock healer, and Storm offers the Morlocks refuge at the Xavier Mansion, but they decline. This is all cool and all but why is Storm so important? Storm was one of the first black comic book characters, and the first black female, to play either a major or supporting role in the big two comic book houses, Marvel Comics and DC Comics. Within these two companies, her 1975 debut was only preceded by a few male black characters. In Marvel Comics, preceding characters were Gabe Jones(debuted in 1963), Black Panther (1966), Bill Foster (1966), Spider-Man supporting characters Joe Robertson (1967), his son Randy (1968), Hobie Brown (the Prowler) & The Falcon (1969), Luke Cage (1972), Blade (1973) and Abe Brown (1974). In DC Comics, she was preceded by Teen Titans member Mal Duncan who debuted in 1970, Green Lantern wielder John Stewart (1971), and Mister Miracle protege Shilo Norman (1973); she preceded DC's other black heroes, Legion of Super-Heroes member Tyroc (who debuted in 1976), Black Lightning (1977), Bumblebee (1977), Cyborg (1980), Vixen (1981) and Amazing Man (1983). While not the first black character to be introduced, since her creation Storm has remained the most successful and recognizable black superhero.[citation needed]
Gladys L. Knight, author of Female Action Heroes: A Guide to Women in Comics, Video games, Film, and Television (2010) wrote that "two defining aspects of her persona are her racial identity and her social status as a mutant.
" The X-Men have symbolically represented marginalized minorities and the debut of the X-Men series coincided with the African-American Civil Rights Movement (1955–1968), in which their plight as mutants mirrored that of African Americans. Storm's creation in particular "was during the heyday of blaxploitation films, which featured, among others, Pam Grier, an African American actress who is considered a pioneer in female action hero films."
I've Always enjoy storm as a character especially in the X-men series she was slightly over the top an announced what she wanted to happen. If you have not pick up an story with Storm I suggest that you do as soon as you can.
She had such a commanding force to her an when you got her mad you better run because she would tear anyone apart. She is a True force of beautiful nature

Batman V. Superman final Trailer review
Well it has arrived Guys the final trailer for Batman V Superman Dawn Of Justice before I get into it with my reaction check it out. if you haven't already please stop Everything and check this out so I can say what I've wanted to say since this was introduced. Here is the link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eX_iASz1Si8 Now I said a long time that when Ben Affleck was chosen that he would crush the Role after that first scene if you can't see that He is Batman I don't know what to say. This is the Batman I read about an watched when I was a kid his style is so brutal an smooth he could not be Touched period. Out of all the previous Batmen Affleck is truly the one I have waited to see. This Trailer should have been second the last trailer literally has nothing on this. Just briefly seeing Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman make that bad ass leaping charge she is ready for war.
But when Batman an Superman go at it you can tell it will be an intense fight. You see That the man of steel has the upper hand but that one moment when batman blocks his punch the perplexed look says it all but Batman face lets you know pain is coming in a lot of ways. I even enjoy hearing more of Jeremy Irons Alfred especially when Ben says " I'm getting slow in my old age Alfred".
Alfred replies " Even you got to old to die young not for lack of trying". That's what I want to see the dry sarcastic humorous yet wise Alfred. All I can says is there are about 40 days left until we get to see the two titan's go at as well as seeing DC's Trinity on screen after 75 years it is finally happening.
I have waited an wanted this movie to happen since age 5 and I am finally getting my wish. Some will not be as hyped because of the excessive movie clips TV spots an trailers but I am ready.
I will be seeing it twice the second time in IMAX but I will save my movie review for a week or two after its release.
I hope you all take the time to check it out an would love to see feedback on this post about what you thought of the trailer.

Icon
Icon is a character from milestone comics Created by the late Dwayne Mcduffie and M.D. Bright he first appeared in Icon # 1 in may 1993. But lets go to 1839 There was an alien Starliner malfunctioned and exploded, jettisoning a life-pod in the middle of a cotton field in the American South.The pod automatically altered the appearance of its passenger, named Arnus, to mimic the first sentient life-form who discovered him. That life-form was an enslaved black woman named Miriam, who saw the pod crash land and adopted Arnus as her son. In the present, Arnus is still alive. He did not age visibly beyond adulthood; to disguise this fact, he periodically assumes the identity of his own son.By the late 20th century, he is posing as Augustus Freeman IV, the great-grandson of his original human identity. Still marooned, Arnus /Freeman waits for Earth's technology to catch up to his life pod's. Secretly possessing superpowers that belie his human appearance, he has always performed quiet acts of charity. However, when Freeman's house is broken into, he uses his powers for the first time in decades, an action witnessed by one of the intruders, Raquel Ervin,an idealistic teenage girl who was born in Paris Island, the poorest, most gang-ridden neighborhood in Dakota City. Her prospects seemed fairly bleak until this encounter with Freeman. After seeing Freeman use his powers, Raquel persuades him to become a superhero named Icon, with herself as his sidekick, Rocket. Now here are some of Icon's supporting characters Raquel Ervin/Rocket – Saw Augustus Freeman IV use his powers when his home was being robbed, and convinced him to become a super hero, as well as take her on as sidekick. All of Rocket's superhuman powers derive from her inertia belt, based on tech from Icon's ship. Darnice/Rocket II – Raquel's best friend. Darnice took on the role of Rocket while Racquel was on maternity leave (one insisted upon by both Icon and her close friends). Amistad Augustus Ervin – Raquel's infant son, named for the Spanish slave ship and for her partner, Icon. Rufus T. Wild/"Buck Wild, Mercenary Man" – First appeared in Icon #13 "It's Always Christmas" (May 1994); Buck Wild possessed "belief defyin' strength" and "tungsten hard skin", but spoke as if he came from a blaxploitation film. He was a hero to the local folks, but he also took money for his work. It was revealed in his first appearance that when he received his powers in 1972, his brain had been frozen, which explains his outdated speaking patterns. Wild was clearly a parody of Marvel's Luke Cage, complete with afro, gold headband and yellow shirt unbuttoned to the navel. In his next appearance, he is recruited to take Icon's place—costume included—when Icon returned to his home planet. Rocket (Darnice) used her Inertia Belt to carry him, making him appear to fly. Buck's time as Icon II was short-lived, as he gave his life in order to stop Oblivion, a mass murdering alien foe of Icon. In an issue devoted to his funeral, it is revealed in a series of eulogies from his enemies (although it is unclear how trustworthy these eulogies are) that he had taken several other costumed identities, all of them parodies of other famous black superheroes. According to these eulogies, Buck once used an experimental growth serum which turned him into the gigantic "Buck Goliath" (a pastiche of Black Goliath). While working with a Captain America-type known as Patriot, he called himself "Jim Crow" and wore a winged costume allowing him to fly (as with Falcon). As "Buck Lightning" (Black Lightning), Buck wore a wrist apparatus that generated lightning bolts. At the funeral, Kingfish (a take on Kingpin) used the legendary Ruby Begonia gemstone to bring him back to life, now able to generate green smoke, the sound of drums tolling doom, and a ghost-like double which could possess others and make them do his bidding (Brother Voodoo). Darnice, however, tells him that his time on earth is over, at which Buck removes the Begonia stone and allows himself to die. Icon recounts that Buck serves as an example to all of us of how we can be heroes wherever we are. In terms of powers an abilities Icon's lifepod altered his DNA so he would resemble a normal human being, thus enabling him to blend among Earth's natives. A side effect of this process was the maximization of his now human/alien genetic structure. Thus, Icon possesses a variety of superhuman abilities that are unusual even for a Terminan. Superhuman Strength: Icon possesses vast superhuman strength that is nearly on par with Superman's. Superhuman Speed and Reflexes: Icon possesses the ability to think, move, and react at superhuman speeds.[1] Superhuman Stamina: Icon possesses highly efficient musculature which produces almost no fatigue toxins, granting him almost limitless stamina in all physical activities. Flight: Icon flies by manipulation of gravitons, manipulation of magnetic fields, control of his absolute molecular movement, and utilizing his superhuman speed. Icon can fly far beyond supersonic speeds, but it is unknown if he can achieve nearly the speed of light. Superhuman Senses: Icon possesses superhuman senses of sight, smell, taste, touch, and hearing. Enhanced Mental Perception: Icon possesses the ability to sense & comprehend things on levels that far exceed human capabilities. Invulnerability: Icon seems to possess high-invulnerability & durability, being capable of withstanding tremendous impact forces, high caliber bullets,exposure to temperature and pressure extremes, and powerful energy blasts without sustaining injury. He is even capable of surviving in the vacuum of space unaided. Icon's invulnerability has not been portrayed consistently. If he is not expecting an attack, he can be injured more easily. For example, in Icon #2, he sustains a bloody nose from getting hit in the face with the butt of a rifle that surprised him. After being injured by Payback,Icon began wearing alien body armor to grant him further protection. Regenerative Healing Factor: Despite his nigh invulnerability to injury, it is possible to injure Icon. If injured, his body is capable of quickly repairing damaged tissue with much greater speed and efficiency than the normal human body. Energy Generation: Icon has the ability to generate and control a radiant energy based on positrons. He can manipulate this energy for various effects. Concussive Force Bolts: Icon can release positron energy from his hands as bolts of concussive force. Stun Bolts: Icon can project low-energy bolts that render human beings unconscious by disrupting the electrical impulses in their nervous systems.Icon can also use these bolts like an electromagnetic pulse to overload electronic devices. Energy Enhanced Punches: Icon can focus positron energy into his fists, which he can then use to shatter virtually any substance.[ Energy Pulse: Icon can release all of his body's positron energy as a massive omnidirectional pulse of devastating power. Positron Field: Icon can detect the presence of Bang Babies within his vicinity by flooding an area with a field of positrons. The field interacts with the invisible quantum well surrounding a Bang Baby, who then glows as he or she gives off mild gamma particles. Hence, Icon can use these fields to distinguish Bang Babies from other metahumans as well as normal humans According to Icon, he possesses powers that all humans will possess once they evolve past their limitations. Icon possesses extraordinary longevity, enabling him to age at a vastly slower rate than that human beings. Hence, though centuries old, he appears to be no older than forty. Icon's lifespan is typical for a Terminan and the only power that is not the result of his genetic maximization. Now many forget this is the man who punches Superman out of the watchtower back to earth Batman asks if he is alright and Clark replies "that really Hurt" chew on that big blue fans I'm kidding Icon is a Fascinating hero an the one reason we haven't seen Icon in the New 52 universe beside a couple of cameo mentions in Static Shock. We lost the Great comic writers of our time Dwayne Mcduffie who was a talent of his own and made us love heroes and even appreciate the villains also he is missed. I say if you get the chance check out some collected editions starring Icon you might like what you see maybe we can start a petition to have Icon brought into the New 52 who knows.

Cyborg : Man vs Machine
Lets Talk about Victor "Vic" Stone the Man who is now know as the Hero Cyborg who first appeared in DC Comics Presents #26 in October 1980 he was created by Marv Wolfman and George Perez . Victor was the son of noted scientists Silas an Elinore Stone They used their son as a test subject for various experiments in intelligence enhancement. The treatments worked an improved victor's IQ to genius levels he resents theses treatment he then starts a friendship with a man named Ron Evers a young trouble maker with serious prospects he got vic into trouble with the law. This also started stone's defiance he started activities that his parents disapproved of such as sports an him ignoring his school work. Things take a turn when he visit's his parents at S.T.A.R Labs and experiment on inter dimensional went wrong an took victors mother an severely mutilates Vic. To Save his son's Silas outfit's his son with experimental prosthetics of his own design. The equipment can not be worn inconspicuously, and Victor is horrified upon discovering that most of his body and part of his face have been replaced with metallic implants. Victor initially wants to die, but he eventually adjusts to the changes and learns to control his implants. I would have been freaked out too imagine you wake up half man an half machine. Now victor had some problems trying to reinsert himself into society not he dealt with alot of rejection an even suspension from football not only due to having an advantage with his cybernetic's but also his failing grades. Victor did find a purpose after bumping into Mr.evers who tried to manipulate Stone an use him in a terrorist against the United Nation the two fought on the roof Vic got the win. But lets talk about the toys. As stated 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 which is damn impressive. 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. Now in the New 52 universe Victor has some pretty cool enhancements. 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, a bionic ear that allows you to hear sounds from long distance, 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. Sensor Systems Computer Interfacing Flight: Powered by rocket boosters. Jump Jets: In place for leaping great distances, to cut down on relying on Boom Tubes due to the problems they caused in the past. Technomorphing: Can physically assimilate other pieces of technology into himself as well as freely alternate his cybernetic body at will. Technopathy Shapeshifting Heart Attack: Cyborg also adds the ability to emit an EMP blast to disable electronics fifty meters away from him. The Grid: A program Vic and Batman created to help him better manage the constant flow of uploading and downloading data he receives on a constant basis. It acts as his solipisistic engram into the Cyberverse/Digitalverse where he can better prioritize and interface with the worldwide networking system, focusing on high-priority items and filter out other received data. Boom Tube Manipulation: Due to absorbing and interfacing with a Mother box, Cyborg can open a Boom Tube extra-dimensional point-to-point travel portal to teleport him and his companions, once having opened up multiple boom tubes in order to banish darkseid and his invading hordes back to apokolips. 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. Technomorphic Evolution: after having a catastrophic run in with the techbreakers from a parallel earth and dying of his injuries. The alien technology composing his frame some how kicked in and resurrected him vastly upgrading his technology and integrating his ruined organic parts with the machinery composing his cybernetics. An adversary of the League once stated his technology was steadily evolving causing a host of new functions to activate. he also has Regeneration Resurrection Mechanical function Enhancement After he lost his original cybernetic enhancements which became Grid at the end of the Trinity War arc, during the Forever Evil event, he has his father Silas Stone and Dr. Morrow help create a new cybernetic body. As explained in that issue, by cutting down on strength, speed, and stamina, Cyborg's new cybernetic body looks slimmer in appearance as Victor describes looking more human compared to looking like a tank. It is unknown whether or not Cyborg had re-integrated the technology stripped from him after Grid's defeat. After a very Nasty run in with alt. universe invaders calling themselves the techbreakers Cyborg's systems had undergone a complete systems overhaul causing a new operating system to come online restoring him too life and healing his damaged circuitry as well as reintegrating his ruined flesh into it, turning him into a full on Techno-Organic being. I think the reason people enjoy cyborg as a character is because of his constant battle with his humanity. The battle with his tech is a big one he is constantly trying to stay human even though he is machine he not will not become full blown tech he is a leader a team player an a great ally to have on your side. Cyborg is an awesome character especially the new 52 interpretation pick up one of the many stories with him in it maybe you will get to see how the battle between man and machine play out I hope victor the Man wins every time.
