Who is Victor Stone?

Victor Stone was a gifted young athlete whose body was catastrophically damaged in a laboratory accident involving his scientist parents. His father saved his life by replacing destroyed tissue with experimental cybernetic prosthetics, transforming Vic into the half-human, half-machine hero known as Cyborg.

Few characters capture the electric energy of DC's Bronze Age quite like Victor Stone, who burst onto the scene in 1980's DC Comics Presents #26 from the legendary creative team of Marv Wolfman and George Pérez. Over nearly five decades of publication, he's become one of DC's most enduring figures, racking up 489 catalog appearances — 22 of them collector-recognized key issues — across landmark titles like The New Teen Titans, Titans, and Detective Comics. He keeps exceptional company throughout those pages, sharing adventures with the likes of Starfire, Dick Grayson, Batman, and Green Lantern, a roster that speaks to just how central he's become to the DC universe. Whether you're a longtime fan or just discovering what makes him so compelling, Victor Stone's four-plus decades of stories make him absolutely essential reading.

Trivia
