Now that black lightning is a television success, i bet DC execs wishing they'd made him the 6th member of the justice league instead :dead:

Since dat quota was the only reason they put Vic on the squad, and it showed with how they treated him.

honestly I don't think it the talent fault so much as it the editors over at dc comics blocking any attempt by the writers and illustrators to make him in to more cooler superhero there a cyborg thread on cbr where his fans talk alot about it.

I was actually gonna mention what I read from that thread a couple years back. I forget if it was David Walker but they mentioned a black writer was trying to revamp Vic... including changing his bulky look and adding more elements to him... but DC made it hell for him.

Mind you, I often find Walker's work to be boring but it does say a lot that DC was restricting him from making Vic better whereas Marvel was giving Coates full reign to shyt on Wakanda/BP :mjlol:, up until the MCU movie became a hit.

I'm curious what ppl thought of Walker's Cyborg. Did it try to venture past the daddy issues?

Geoff Johns has no grasp on Cyborg as a character in general.

He wrote him horribly in his Teen Titans run as well, and that was eight years prior.
