One of DC Comics’ most iconic heroes has just debuted his best redesign of all time. The fact that this particular hero has received a redesign at all is notable, given that the character’s look has remained relatively consistent over the years. Hence, this change stands out as both monumental and unprecedented.
Writer Tate Brombal and artist Sami Basri return with part two of their “The Future Is Tomorrow” story arc in . The previous issue saw Red Devil, Spoiler, Jon Kent, and Yara Flor blast through Titans Tower, announcing that they were the new Titans and had arrived to save the “old” Titans from a danger that had yet to be revealed.
New Titans #34 delivers several major twists and revelations. Among them is the reveal of a fully human Cyborg joining the other heroes. When asked what is going on, Victor explains that his human and cyborg sides were separated, with each half forming into a new whole. This results in both a fully human and a fully robotic Cyborg, giving Victor Stone his most radical and epic redesign yet.

TRANSMIT ANSWER → QUESTION 15 / 20ENVIRONMENT 15 What’s your ideal base of operations? Where a hero operates reveals how they think. AA fortified cave beneath a city I know better than its criminals.

I’m rarely standing still long enough to need one. TRANSMIT ANSWER → QUESTION 16 / 20PHILOSOPHY 16 What does “being a hero” actually mean to you? The philosophy behind the power is the real definition. AWaging a war that never ends so others never have to. BBeing the proof that the best of humanity is worth saving.

CRemove the threat. Permanently if necessary. The innocent come first. DThey’re safe before they even know there was danger. TRANSMIT ANSWER → QUESTION 19 / 20POWER 19 Your power — where does it come from? Origin shapes destiny in the DC Universe. APain, discipline, and an unbreakable will. I have no other source.

TRANSMIT ANSWER → QUESTION 20 / 20DESTINY 20 The final battle. Everything is on the line. You: This is the moment that defines everything. AExecute the plan I built for exactly this moment.

REVEAL MY HERO → THE DC UNIVERSE HAS SPOKEN YOUR HERO IDENTITY
Your scores are shown below. The character with the highest number is your match. Read their description to discover which hero the universe chose for you.
🔥 Batman 🌟 Superman ⚔️ Wonder Woman ⚡ The Flash 🟢 Green Lantern 🔥 BATMAN
Disciplined, relentless, and driven by a grief that never fully heals. You’ve built yourself into something formidable not through luck or cosmic accident, but through sheer, grinding will. You plan further ahead than anyone else in the room and trust fewer of them. The darkness you carry isn’t weakness — it’s your greatest weapon, and your most dangerous blind spot. But beneath the armor, you still believe in justice. That belief is what separates you from the monsters you fight.
🌟 SUPERMAN
Powerful beyond measure, yet defined by your humility. You were raised to believe that the measure of a person is what they do with what they’re given — and you’ve taken that lesson to heart. The world looks to you as a symbol, and the weight of that is something you carry quietly. You could impose your will on everything, and you choose not to. That choice, made every day, is the most heroic thing about you.
⚔️ WONDER WOMAN
A warrior forged in honor, guided by truth. You came to this world not born into its compromises, and that perspective gives you a clarity that cuts through politics, spin, and fear. You fight hard, hold the line without flinching, and refuse to let injustice be normalized around you. People are sometimes surprised by your compassion — they expect the sword and forget the heart it serves. You are both, in perfect, formidable balance.
⚡ THE FLASH
Quick, warm, and far more capable than your jokes let on. You use humor as a shield and velocity as a solution, but your greatest gift isn’t speed — it’s heart. You feel everything deeply and act faster than most people think. The people around you don’t always realize how much you carry, how much you process in the quiet between seconds. You make the impossible look easy, and you do it without making anyone feel small for being slower than you.
🟢 GREEN LANTERN
Chosen because your will is extraordinary. The ring didn’t create you — it recognized you. Your power is literally your imagination and your resolve, which means your ceiling is whatever you believe it to be. You can be reckless, and you can be arrogant, but your capacity for growth is equally limitless. You operate on a cosmic scale but never forget the small things worth protecting. In the universe’s darkest sectors, you are the light.

DC's Cyborg Unlocks Awesome Redesign Following DC K.O.
Comic Pages Come from Tate Brombal's New Titans #34 (2026) - Art by Sami Basri
In New Titans #34, Victor reveals that Nightwing, Starfire, and Terra have been living in a mecha world that his machine-self constructed in a misguided attempt to protect them. In other words, the three Titans have been unknowingly living alongside the fully machine version of Cyborg and virtual constructs of the other Titans in a fabricated reality, all while being drugged through their coffee to keep them from realizing the truth.
Victor also explains that his human and machine selves became separated . This event served as Earth’s latest crisis, pitting heroes and villains against one another in tournament-style deathmatches. The goal was for a single champion to gather enough Omega energy to challenge Darkseid, who had become King Omega Darkseid, and defeat him before he could destroy the universe.
As Victor explains, in the aftermath of the Omega Tournament he found himself supercharged with Alpha Energy. That energy tore him in half before completing both his human and machine halves. The Alpha energy also made his machine-half more powerful than ever before, with even Victor himself unsure of what his machine-half’s true limits might be.
Victor’s machine-half appears to be operating on faulty logic, however. It kidnapped Nightwing, Starfire, and Terra and constructed a false reality for them to live in. Worse still, the machine-half is likely working its way toward kidnapping the other Titans as well in order to complete its idea of a “family.” In short, this is Cyborg as readers have never seen him before.
While Victor’s fully human form is understandably more unassuming, his full-machine design is nothing short of epic. Seeing his human body and machine form side by side further highlights the stark contrast and the extreme nature of the redesign. This may be one of the first times in DC history that a character has been split into two in the way Victor has, resulting in an exceptionally unique transformation and arguably Cyborg’s best redesign of all time.
