Cyborg (film)

> *"Not long ago, I wondered if I'd lost my soul, even my identity, by becoming a machine--and maybe even a monster. But I wasn't a monster. I was who I'd always been. And my soul is still intact. In fact, now my soul needed the machine to embark on its journey to the next evolutionary step for humankind. It was a journey I relished taking, the only way I could -- As Cyborg."*

## Synopsis

After the aftermath of Steppenwolf’s invasion, Victor re-enters the public eye and struggles with finding his place in society. Meanwhile, criminal scientist Dr. O'Jeneus uses stolen cybernetic remains from Victor to create GRID, a malevolent artificial intelligence. He sets his sights on using GRID to destroy Victor as revenge after Silas Stone fired him years ago. GRID, acknowledging Victor's superiority, has his own agenda -- to infect Victor and use his body to destroy humankind. It becomes a battle of body and mind, and Victor will realize that tool he needs to defeat GRID is his humanity.

## Trivia

* During the night of the Black Zero event, Victor and his mother were driving back from his football game, they were passing through Metropolis only to crash -- killing her and nearly himself before his father inadvertently merged him with the Mother Box.
* This film would solidify Cyborg as one of the strongest beings in the universe, able to tap into anything electronic with merely a passing thought. Victor will evolve both into the modern day God of the digital age -- and into a human once again.
* After the events of Justice League, Cyborg is reveled as one of the saviors of the world, however, the general public are still uncomfortable with him.
* Victor's father was the lead scientist at the Metropolis S.T.A.R. Labs division. After his death in Justice League, Dr. Ryan Choi was promoted to the title.
* The overall 'theme' of the film would be fathers and forgiveness. We explore Grid's relationship with his 'father' in Gizmo versus Victor's relationship with his father and how they were both a forced product of their fathers. We see Victor fighting what he could have become if he didn't learn from Silas.
* Dr. Mikron O'Jeneus makes several references to an organization known simply as H.I.V.E., who funded his revenge scheme.
* Gizmo managed to make GRID mixing remnants from Cyborg found in S.T.A.R. Labs and parts from a reprogrammed Parademon, found after the events of Steppenwolf’s invasion.
* At the end of the film, Victor metamorphoses parts of his body from the jagged, serrated, alien look to a more streamlined, rounded look similar to that of his comic counterpart.
* The after-credits scene is Barry arriving in town asking Victor for help, setting up *The Flash!* film. While the post-credits scene is Lex Luthor collecting the remnants of GRID, teasing *Justice League:* *Legion of Doom*.
