19. How Cyborg Actually Works
- Company: DC Comics
- Real Science: Engineering, Biology, Chemistry
- Possible to Recreate: Yes
Victor Stone sadly had an accident in a laboratory explosion that left the one great athlete almost dead. His father, a genius scientist, saved him by using some alien technology. Cyborg then came to be where he uses cybernetic body parts and even can hack into various pieces of tech around the world. Combined with his already smart side, his cybernetic brain additions were great too.
However, the facts behind comic book characters like Cyborg may surprise you. Most of what is used for him is actually possible. We have had cybernetic body parts for years now. They have been often used for those who lose a body part in the Armed Forces, using nerves to connect the person’s brain to the function of the limb. We have also used cybernetic helmets that allow a person to think something, and a machine then responds to do it. We’re really close to a real Cyborg, honestly.
