I have mixed feelings about Cyborg being part of the Justice League. He's half robot, but he's also half black.
Quality shitpost

Cyborg is probably DC's best known black superhero who feels like he could be in the Justice League.
Static Shock might be more popular, for example, but people might complain that he's too young to be in the League.
>>82040331
He's not wholly a DC hero, the rights are not simple. Similar issue to Black Lightning.
They should just use Vixen. Better than only having one woman too. There's no real reason not to use her.
>>82040391
>He's not wholly a DC hero, the rights are not simple. Similar issue to Black Lightning.
That explains a lot, thank you.
And Vixen is a great suggestion. She's already got that cartoon in the CW-verse.
What if Cyborg was a girl?
>black female technically crippled
Then we could have the political correct value pack character.
If Donatello had sex with a magic space bus Cyborg would be the result. Why did Donnie have relations with the bus?Because he does machines
>>82040526
We could just make Hal a black woman and we'd hit the correct values.
>Minority.
>Female.
>Mentally handicapped.
>Represents the power of will.
We could have had it all and instead of Cyborg we could have had someone cool like Dr Fate or Jason Blood.
>Black hero who is literally 3/5ths human and has no dong
I don't like it. The New 52's timeline is all out of whack when you look at it closely. Cyborg and Nightwing are the same age as Wonder Woman. That ain't right.
>>82040595
I actually dont mind Power Ring as Hals replacement for the time being
>>82040391
Vixen over Cyborg???
Cyborg is cool and I don't get the bullying
>tfw you go through DC's list of black superheroes and they're actually all kinda racist
>>82040738
this. who gives a fuck if cyborg is black? Him being black is not relevant to anything besides aesthetics. He looks pretty dank as a black guy anyways. Cyborg is not some token black character, he is a regular cool character that happens to be black.
"half" black is pretty generous
he's more like, maybe 8% black at this point
>>82040762
Are they as racist as the king of a fictional nation that's full of super scientists that dress like zulu warriors? Or an African mutant worshipped as a god by her ignorant tribe?
>>82040831
You can't just ignore a character's race. That's the whole reason why people rant on about racebending at such length.
Personally design wise, I like Cyborg when hes bulky/clunky. Too sleek and you dont really see his condition as a slight burden
>>82040762
What are you talking about, there was no racism ever, everyone was clearly equal.Sarcasm
>>82040878
people complain about racebending when it's a not a white character being racebended
a white character being changed to non-white is never a problem with those people
>>82040878
>you can't just ignore someone's race
you can, it's called not being racist.
Sjws are racist, racists are racists. People that just don't give a fuck are not.
Cyborg has a shit design desu
They should get rid of the faceplate, maybe go with something on the jaw and just have one cybernetic eye. Maybe look at a more unconventional design for the cybernetics too.
>>82040875
Nobody was talking about Marvel you faggot
>>82040941
Or just make him straight up partial terminator/ghost in the shell where his gimmick is getting his face blown off and showing the robot beneath.
![Steel_Irons_h[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/MqCmvdQ.jpg "Steel_Irons_h[1].jpg")
They should make Steel the black Justice League member instead.
Just give him a hot new costume without the superman cape and you're good to go.
>>82040875
Yea, pretty much. This speedster guy is called Impala.
To be honest I think cyborg fits well on the Justice League because nobody else at founding really has that niche. But Black Lightning (who could just be 'Lightning') works too, and I'd be perfectly happy to throw out Batman as a founder for like, Beth Chapel Doctor Mid-Nite.
>>82040937
>it's called not being racist
it's weird to me that noticing someone's eye or hair color is fine, but if you point out skin color (for any reason, even just for identification like "look at the black guy in the green t-shirt") it's considered racist
>>82040986
Revamp Steel into Black Hammer Iron Man.
Cyborg belongs in the League
>>82040067
his cyborg parts should have be muscles instead of shiny metal plates
https://themiddlespaces.wordpress.com/2015/03/31/humanity-not-included/
>>82040986
Too closely related to Superman and frankly Cyborg is just all around better in that area. Im sorry, I really am because I like Steel, but we dont need a knock off Iron Man as a founder
>>82041030
He belongs in Teen Titans like he was always meant to be.
>>82040941
>>82040979
Fuck off weebs
You always post the same shit about Cyborg
>>82041032
*artificial muscles
>>82040979
Yeah that would be cool too.
>>82041013
nah dude, noticing it is fine
giving a fuck is the problem
notice how I called cyborg black and talked about how it's aesthetic?
thats not being racist, that's just appreciating looks. appreciating looks is probably what the designers behind cyborg did.
>>82040526
If I remember right, the initial pitch for the Justice League DCAU cartoon did have a female version of Cyborg in the cast as one of the league's junior members.
>>82041059
No you fuck off, just because you've heard it from someone else before doesn't mean it's any less valid you flaming faggot.
>>82041059
That's because Cyborg always has a shit design.
>>82041023
That's pretty much what I had in mind.
>>82040067
Cyborg being put into the Justice League just seems like a mandate from the higher-ups to have a minority character for their Justice League movie. It's the only way I can explain why he's on the League but underused and his comic has been directionless since it's creation.
Also, if he has a boom tube inside of him, why not make him a teleporter like Nightcrawler?
>>82041131
>higher-ups to have a minority character for their Justice League movie
Clearly, they have no idea that Green Lanterns work in pairs, like police.Like fucking space policeWhich they fucking are.
Can we just talk about how shit Hal Jordanis that he's basically abusing his power by only looking at one small part of his sector while the rest of it is probably knee deep in shit?
Heres the thing I think we can all agree on. No one has a problem with Cyborg being on the JL, just that its really odd placing him as a founding member instead of a progression to that. The only reason why it rubs me the wrong way is that you can practically feel the corporate "We wanted a black guy" vibe when DC announced this.
>>82041096
Yes. They wanted a young, female, black character in the cartoon. Rather than using Bumblebee or something, they just genderswapped Cyborg and called it a day.
>>82041248
I hate that because it means they looked back and either missed John Stewart and the people who actually love the fuck out of him as a character or saw him as something they could exploit later and decided to go with Cyborg despite him being an established character in the Teen Titans and going "Fuck it, let's give Lobdell Teen Titans and Red Hood, He'll do fiiiiiiiiine".
>>82041204
No they don't. One Green Lantern for each space sector. It's just that The Guardians pull in groups for difficult missions and Hal rarely stays in his own sector.
Cyborg should stay as a titan and give the role of a justice league member to the last elemental: Firestorm. And if they want, the could use Jason Rusch.
I also wouldn't mind Nightwing promoting to a justice league member and give his role as the leader of the titans to Protector. Anyone remember him? Me neither, but still.
>>82040391
>They should just use Vixen
She went to JLI.
>>82041373
They could have done that but Lobdell would have fucked it up either way.
Literally you can have any characters doing anything at all and if the writer mishandles them they get fucked over and then you have a situation where DC is trying to salvage two characters by putting them in another comic where they work with each other.
>>82040067
I just wish theyd admit that TT show Cyborg is the best version and make him act like that. If they played him off as the young hothead i'd like him a lot more in the JLA
>>82041373
Firestorm seems like a good replacement for Cyborg, but what about Dr Fate? I cant see him dealing with Constantines bullshit on JLD. Plus hes more magic than WW anyway
>>82041356
Two GLs man, no?
>>82041338
>I hate that because it means they looked back and either missed John Stewart and the people who actually love the fuck out of him as a character
No it means they looked at John Stewart and decided "nah we'd rather keep Hal" and then moved on to other options
>>82041502
Inza or bust.
>>82040762
lol
How?
>>82041204
Hal got in trouble in the 80s for only paying attention to earth
Outside of the first chunk of Johns GL Hal has rarely spent much time on earth in the past 20 years
>>82040067
Yeah, but on the up side, he is half white, and half a terminator.
>>82041590
>>82041204
>>82041569
No way in hell WB execs are gonna take another shot at Green Lantern. You might as well put that idea to bed.
>>82040331
Sweet McDuffee on a stick. The obvious choice is Stewart.
>>82040738
He's got zero track record as a solo hero, and they've given him zero interesting plots as a JL member. Every single story of his that's memorable is from the TT.
Compare to Vixen. They put her in, and they actually fucking USED her.
>>82040831
>Him being black is not relevant to anything besides aesthetics.
...it's very relevant to people who bitch about racial politics, and people who bitch about people who bitch about racial politics.
>>82040878
Disagree. Of course you can. But the consequence is that you aren't making storylines about race.
>>82040067
What the hell do you have againstrobots?
>>82041631
This is pretty good. Got any more?
>>82040067
Oh hey look it's wally.
He looks suspiciously like a person from the first Teen Titans.
What's that? He going to be apart of Damian's Teen Titans? Well don't that beat all.
>>82041726
>He's got zero track record as a solo hero, and they've given him zero interesting plots as a JL member. Every single story of his that's memorable is from the TT.
That's Johns' fault. But anons bully the character.
>>82040067
What OP, do you hate blue robots? Haha!
>>82041990
>Lobdell fucked over the entirety of the Young Justice squad
That's all Lobdell's fault but no one is gonna stop bullying Tim.
>>82041888
>He looks suspiciously like a person from the first Teen Titans.
If you're implying Cyborg was one of the original TT you need to get your facts straight my nigga.
>>82041850
>>82041888
Can Wally use speedforce to fix his blackness?
>>82042258
Sorry, from the "New Teen Titans"
>>82042317
Only Titan lineup that matters.
>>82041032
Crysis is just a rip off Spider-man's Symbiotes. Marvel should sue.
>>82042349
Hey I liked the Titans that came up after too, Despite them still being Young Justice under new a management.
>>82040928
The fact that you even think it happens as often as non-white characters being racebent kinda proves that you don't know what you're talking about
>inb4 g-go back to t-tumblr!
the correct term is robo american
>>82040067
Funny. Never occurred to me before, but he's kind of like - a cuter version of Deathlok.
Blacks have contributed nothing to the medium of comics. This is a fact.
McDuffie did his best work on tv, even for Static.
>>82040230
You ruined it
>>82040067
Only problem is the half-metal face, it never looks cool, always lame.
JOHN STEWART IS THE BEST BLACK DC HERO FUCK HAL JORDAN
>>82046053
Desh is my favorite /co/ meme
>>82046088
Mine too. Dear God, what meltdown he had because of EVS.
>>82041502
Dr. Fate has seems to be really popular. I don't see him as a core justice league member though, I see him as more of a last resort hero.
I want to see him team up with Zatanna. In YJ, he temporarily fused with her and permanently fused with her father.
>>82040614
He actually has a dick now, Desh. Get over it, man, I'm not sure why you're so obsessed over a fictional man's penis.
>>82046845
Popular how, senpai?
>>82040331
Why not just make Static Shock into a Kyle Rayner style "way in over his head" kid that is brought into the team to keep them "real yoh!"
>>82040067
I just dislike him in general, he's very meh as a character. He's forced to be a techie, but he's not tech-savie pre accident and his personality isn't what I enjoy in a gadgeteer at all. And he's a really bad fit for the JL.
Him being black irks me too, but just a little.
>>82048633
>Him being black
Fucking why?
>>82048703
Aesthetically it's just ugly, to me.
