Saved by his scientist father after an accident left very little of Victor's body intact, Dr. Silas Stone used all of his advanced scientific knowledge to save his only child's life, and to rebuild him into a superior being, one that was arguably now more machine than man.
The idea of the Cyborg was born in 1960 in the thick of the US-Soviet Space Race, to two NASA consultants trying to solve the problem of keeping humans alive in the hostile conditions of outer space.
Back then, Cyborg was the black hero in a comic that mistook tokenism for diversity. He spent a great deal of time mourning his plight as an accident turned him from a star athlete into a human/machine hybrid.
In 1911, Jean de La Hire introduced the Nyctalope, a science fiction hero who was perhaps the first literary cyborg, in Le Mystère des XV (later translated as The Nyctalope on Mars).
That same night, Victor and Elinore get themselves into a car accident resulting in Elinore's death. Although, Silas, the head of S.T.A.R. Labs, manages to save Victor's life using the Mother Box. However, rather than restore his full body, the Mother Box transformed him into a Cyborg.

How did Cyborg originally get his powers?
Saved by his scientist father after an accident left very little of Victor's body intact, Dr. Silas Stone used all of his advanced scientific knowledge to save his only child's life, and to rebuild him into a superior being, one that was arguably now more machine than man.
The term was first coined in 1960 by the Austrian-American space scientist Manfred Clynes (b. 1925), though such creatures had featured in science-fiction since the 1920s and they have long been with us in everyday life in the form of mechanical elements (such as prosthetic limbs) incorporated into the human body.
Cyborgs are created when organic life forms are integrated with technology. This can be done in a number of ways, such as installing artificial limbs or organs or embedding chips or potentially nanobots into the body. As a result, cyborgs have enhanced physical or mental faculties.
After a heated argument about Silas not attending Victor's games even after hearing about his son's success, the Mother Box explodes. The explosion kills the other scientists and destroys most of Victor's body, but spares Silas.
And Raven would know. She's got firsthand experience. Born Rachel Roth to a human mother and a demonic father, Raven's entire life has been a balancing act between the light and the darkness.
It's neither fully robotic nor fully bionic. Instead, it is a word used to describe people who have integrated technology, primarily AI or deep learning modules, into their bodies to enhance their strength and abilities. Wearable technology, artificial organs, and other similar instances are a few.
Cyborgs exist on a spectrum, with varying degrees of integration between human and machine. At the lower end, we have basic prosthetics that replace lost limbs or senses. These prosthetics have come a long way since the ancient Egyptians first developed them.
Cyborgs actually do exist; about 10% of the current U.S. population are estimated to be cyborgs in the technical sense, including people with electronic pacemakers, artificial joints, drug implant systems, implanted corneal lenses, and artificial skin.
Neurologist Phil Kennedy made global headlines in the late 90's by connecting the brain of a paralyzed man to a computer. He was compared to Alexander Graham Bell and became famously known as 'The Father of the Cyborgs'.
But our laws do not recognize the rights of machines themselves. Nor do the laws recognize cyborgs—hybrids that add machine functionalities and capabilities to human bodies and consciousness.
Cybernetic immortality is a form of immortality that would come about by people replacing their biological body parts with almost indestructible artificial equivalents. Such people would be cyborgs.
In the Teen Titans episode "Cyborg the Barbarian", Cyborg is stranded in 3000 BC by a magic spell. While stuck in the past, he meets and falls in love with the warrior woman Sarasim (voiced by Kimberly Brooks), whose name is an homage to Sarah and a possible ancestor.
It is argued that they are. First, because employing technology is a typically human characteristic. Second, because in western thought the human mind, and not the body, is considered to be the seat of personhood.
The Terminator himself is part of a series of machines created by Skynet for infiltration-based surveillance and assassination missions, and while an android for his appearance, he is usually described as a cyborg consisting of living tissue over a robotic endoskeleton.
Here, Fisher explains that Cyborg will indeed have some of his signature powers like technopathy. Not only this, but this version of Cyborg doesn't even sleep. He simply acquires data while at rest.
Victor could defeat a large amount of characters in the DC Universe, including Superman (though that may a bit hard). But it also depends. If Victor is from Justice League (animated), he might be able to teleport most into a blackhole before they could do anything, including the Flash.
The traditional definition of a cyborg, is that of a being composed of both organic and artificial systems, between which there is feedback-control, with the artificial systems closely mimicing the behavior of organic systems.
