## History

### Early Life

Victor lived a comfortable life in Detroit, Michigan. His parents were scientists under the employment of Star Labs, and while his Father. Silas had a firmer hand in wanting Victor to enter the academic field when he got older. On the other hand, his mom wanted him to pursue more of his interests instead of being tied down to something he might not even enjoy. Not to mention that even as a financially middle-class household. It’s not as though that Vic didn’t get his share of prejudice and discrimination. Especially when very young, hell back when he was ten years old, he remembered going into a store with his Dad one day. Getting told by the store manager after Vic accidentally dropped a toy, Vic picked it up from the shelf that if it broke, he would buy it. It was an honest mistake. Vic even yelled at the store manager that he just wanted to look at it. Unfortunately, a police officer was standing by the entrance of the store. His dad took action and reprimanded him by giving him a talk on perfectionism that never left him. Silas bought the toy even though Vic repeatedly protested. He was always needing to be that no matter what.

Vic’s not sure when exactly he grew his detachment from his father. Probably when Silas, by the time Vic was getting into high school. Vic wanted to get into sports. He was even encouraged to try out Football. And so Vic handed him a permission slip to be allowed on the football team during dinner time. That was until Silas ripped it up. He was getting a stated answer that it was a waste of time for him, and he instead needed to focus on his grades. Vic was furious at him, but his mother told him she would find a way to work around it. Granted, he was so angry that night that he stormed out of the house. His Mother, Elinore, told him to hop in the car and drive with her while he cooled off. That drive had Victor and his mother get themselves into a heart-to-heart conversation and show him that at least his mother had his back. However, most discussions stopped short when a truck put them into a multi-car collision. Thankfully when they got into the hospital by ambulance, for the most part, they were ok. Just a few scraps and bruises, but as soon as Silas showed up, he showed many emotions for the two of them. Mostly thankful that it wasn’t too severe. They were closer now than before.

### The Incident That Changed Everything

It’s Vic’s senior year of high school, and he’s got a bright future ahead of him. His team for Detroit High was raining with achievements. He isn’t Captain, but he always came in clutch for the tail-end touchdowns and kick-offs. And his rewards showed that he could even get a scholarship offer with a full-ride to Gotham U and Metropolis Tech. Vic’s parents also took on more experimental projects for CADMUS and the Military during this time. The military stored nothing dangerous but a few items, such as inventions and artifacts, away for safekeeping. A lot of which no one had any kind of paper trail for them or the functions they provided. That said, summer is about to start in 2017, and Vic got his team through the championship finals. He was the away team against Gotham Academy, and their play earned him the most joyful experience. And yet that one game he wanted his father to attend, the one that would either make or break the course of his life. His Father, Silas, wasn’t there for it. God only knows what could’ve been so significant that someone had to miss their son's game. Victor was just pissed that it happened and wouldn’t even talk with his mom for the rest of the flight back to Detroit. He told his mom not to make a single excuse for him this time as soon as they landed back home. They immediately went to Star Labs, where his parents work, so Vic could give his dad a piece of his mind. When he went into the R&D department and found his dad, he called him out all before a flash of light with a burning sensation. And then, the next thing Victor can see is fire and the body of what was his mother. Everything went black until he woke again, only to hang up from cables and cords. Electricity coursing right through him, Promethean metal searingly grafted onto him. An ancient piece of alien technology to reinforce everything that he is becoming. The system to the machine that half of him is transforming and is becoming a part of him.

The next thing Victor knew was that he woke up, and his life would never be the same. Vic was horrified at first for turning into what he was and hit with tragic irony when his father told Victor his Mom didn’t make it. Vic spent the next several months getting used to his own body. He was getting physical therapy from a friend of his Father named Niel Caulder. Besides Niel's occasional visits, he also received checkups from other scientists and specialists in their fields. Such as the case of reputable scientists like Dr. Cho, Dr. Magnus, or Dr. Ivo. But at the end of the day, all Vic wanted to know was could his dad change him back to what he was before. Silas promised him he would find a solution, but those were false promises. Granted, Vic was glad that graduation was still possible for him. He didn’t walk with his class, but for the most part. His social life and his reputation had died in the lab. And that spot for the NCAA was taken up by another teammate. All his dreams were but dreams, and he didn’t know what else was there for him to do. The good news is that he still got into Gotham U due to their easy approval. He got into their bachelor's degree program for software engineering. And for the most part, besides the occasional check-up at star labs with his father. For an entire year, he wandered around and lost himself.

### Justice League

Soon enough, it is early 2018, and Vic is trying to regain his sense of self. And then, one day, during a checkup at Star Labs by his Father, Silas. Colonel Henry Reid appeared inside the lab to instruct his Father on the new arrangements Vic would be under, something Vic never knew. To his surprise but since half of what Vic is but a property of the United States Military. He needs to work under them from then on, especially under the secular arm of ARGUS. He is their eyes and ears and their only job after assessing what he can do. Is to infiltrate the JL by any means and report his findings. Via monthly reports and connected from a private network as long as he’s connected to a WiFi source. It wasn’t long before being told to introduce himself to Supergirl in Metropolis and offered to help her on her mission. After gaining certified backing from Supergirl to the JL, he became a team member through the approval of Batman and Superman.

Since then, his adventures with the JL have ranged from dealing with the ancient pandora’s box. One was an advanced android with half its cybernetic body sitting in the stratosphere. He was helping to reunite the lovers of the King of Atlantis with his Queen, coping with an alien invasion from Evil Kryptonians and other space criminals, and being the Arm in the chair for the rest of the JL and the Superhero community. And all in all, he wouldn’t trade any of those experiences for anything else. He’s learned and grown with each encounter and had even entrusted Batman with the truth of his dilemma. At the same time, although Cyborg knows his secret, he only keeps it to his closest people. And since then, he’s felt a true sense of belonging. He might not have what he had before, but Vic’s glad to be left with what he does have.
