Thinking of Vic's complicated relationship with his body due to the circumstances that lead to him having his cybernetic prostheses being extremely traumatic and out of his control and waking up suddenly in a body that feels unrecognizeable to him --
but slowly learning to accept himself first by hanging out with people who are 'freaks' like him (the new teen titans) and then other disabled people IRL who do not view his protheses as weird but rather cool (the kids at sarah's school).
But anyway I'm wondering if there's a stage where Vic begins to be glad for his cybernetic body -- not how he got it, that killed his parents so he would not be glad for that. but while initially he was understandably mad at his dad for the extreme body modifications he had no say in*, I wonder if later on he would be glad for it because. his parents died. They're both gone. But they both** contributed to the technology that keeps Vic alive, their work is in him, they help him protect himself even when they're no longer there and there will always be some reminder of their love for him in him.
*which I don't think is really inherently wrong of Silas to do, because Vic was fucking dying and it was the only way to save his life, but it is understandable that at first Vic sees this as something that was done to him, not for him.
**initially it was just his dad, but IIRC later comics retconned it so his mom contributed some research to the tech that keeps him alive. EDIT: Ty @danny-chase it was Elinore Stone (Vic's mom) who built cybernetic protheses for the army which was implied to be in her mind something to help dismembered victims of war, the army wanted a perfect soldier with it. NTT (second series) #47

One day I need to write a full post about this, but the way that Silas Stone raises and treats Vic and the pressures that he puts on him feels like it stems partly from the W.E.B. Du Bois idea of the talented tenth (the idea that the "elites" of the black community will uplift black people's place in the U.S.) is just. So much to process. The generational trauma and wanting Vic to do more for his community and not being able to see the value in Vic's contributions because they're not academically based, and putting that pressure on Vic who's a kid at this point and doesn't have all the context for why his dad is the way he is and why he's having this undue burden placed on him. Anyways it's something I felt like Marv and George alluded to in his origin comic but completely fucked up because they were too focused on "it's okay to be white" and I really feel like the current Cyborg run is leaning into it in the right ways and AHHHHHHHHH

(DCEU) Silas Stone worked closely with Abner's mother at STAR Labs, and thought she was just an awkward woman who preferred to keep to herself. He greatly regrets not noticing the way she experimented on her kids until it was too late.

"--what you can do now, Victor. Your physical strength is just the tip of the iceberg. The tip of the tip.
In a world of ones and zeroes, you are the absolute master. No firewall can stop you. No encryption can defy you. We're all at your mercy, Vic. From our power grids to our telecommunications, everyone's lives are controlled and dominated by complex digital networks that will bend, without effort, to your will.
The fate of the world will literally rest in your hands.
Its entire nuclear arsenal, you could launch with a thought.
The world's monetary systems and its complex interactions will seem as easy to manipulate for you as a child's plaything.
The question-- No, the challenge... Won't be doing it. It will be not doing. Not seeing. It is the burden of this responsibility that will define you and who you choose to be.
Victor... Victor, these are the words and deductions of a scientist. That's how I've been speaking to you.
Now, let me speak to you from my heart. Not as a scientist, as a father. Huh, your father twice over. I brought you into the world and back to it. You can't imagine how proud I am, of who you are, have always been. So many years with you I've wasted, so many wrongs I've left un-righted. Everything breaks, Victor. Everything changes. The world is hurt, broken, unexchageable. The world's not fixed in the past, only the future. The not yet. The now. The now is you. Now, now is your time, Victor. To rise. Do this, be this, the man I never was, the hero that you are. Take your place among the brave ones. The ones that were, that are, that have yet to be. It's time you stand...fight...discover...heal, love, win. The time is now."
—Silas Stone's complete message to Victor in Zack Snyder's Justice League.

You ever think about how Silas's last words to Victor were about how being happy is the most important thing in life and a plea for him to be happy? And how after Vic's accident and his mother's death Silas spent his time building a home for Vic surrounded by those that would be able to love him and relate to him in a way others could not?
And then years later Vic, on the brink of losing touch with humanity in carrying out the Technis Imperative sought out the people he loved. And he tried to give them what he thought was most important. He built them homes surrounded by those who loved them and worlds that he knew would allow them to be happy?
My man is so human i- *sobs*
