I understand what they and what you are saying now. None of which change's the fact though. Do you honestly believe I , Vamp, or anyone else gets any enjoyment telling asking other poster WTF they are talking about? And then having to go in great detail to explain a character to those people knowing full well they aren't going to listen because it wont fit the Mary Sue they made in their minds? (But hoping they take something from what you said)
So yeah I hear you but the facts do not change. The history does not change. And what has worked
rarely ever changed. Current Cyborg personality is interchangeable. The character lacks a true voice. We see glimpses of the real him here and there but that is it. If someone bases their version of Cyborg almost totally on the 52 onward Cyborg, chances are they are going to be greatly confused about the character and it's mostly because that version is barely is one.
I respectfully disagree. The levels in which we are talking are vastly different.
Cyborg's power offers a different niche than any member of the JL. Most of the "Upgrades" in suggested in this thread just makes him another ridiculous OP character. The perpetual forced ignoring of characters abilities in the JL is one of the reason the title constantly losses it's footing in terms of popularity and sales.
I could and would go into further detail but I'm trying not to dominate the conversation. But I will say this... DC characters run into the same set of problems regardless of the generation or time they are in. Current DC not only has those problems but they have an added issue of severally lacking driven cohesive story telling.(Not all titles but a large chunk of them) Cyborg is a major example of that as well as his handling and the various disappearing abilities are an example of what I am saying. Between the Inspector Gadget version and Boxy the robot version the current characters has little defined aspect about him in terms of what he can or can't not do. This , as well as other aspects, will forever keep the character in a place where people will see him and not be able to character on a larger scale. That isn't my opinion, that is provable by looking at various characters in comics and out. The American phrase "keep it simple stupid" in terms of powers across the board works better for Superhero characters more often then not. The more complex you get the more people loose interest.
Not even going to get into how Cyborg's original abilities played off his personality better and made him a more complete character. (again not saying his power should stay the same, just saying the Tech God as being described in this thread will and has done little for him.)
Edit:
Also thank you for the compliment. I do appreciate it.
