Cyborg, whose real name is Victor Stone.

Before he became a superhero cyborg, or rather, before he became a half-human and half-machine, he was a promising college student.

His father, Silas Stone, is a scientist at Interstellar Labs, a scientist in the government of the United States who specializes in extraterrestrial and transhuman research.

As for himself, he is also a famous star rugby player in the school.

Excellent academic performance and outstanding athletic talents.

If nothing happens, Victor will have no problem becoming a professional rugby player or a good scientist like his father.

However, he was in a car accident that completely changed his life.

To be precise, it is the complete end of life.

In the comics, Victor is caused by the accidental explosion of the Apocalypse Mother Box in the Starlab

The Apocalypse Mother Box in the STAR Lab accidentally explodes, seriously injuring and dying on the verge of death.

In order to prevent him from dying, his father activated the Apocalypse Star Mother Box, which he had not yet fully figured out.

With the help of the Mother Box, Victor comes back to life and becomes a half-human, half-mechanical cyborg.

In the movie, Victor will become a steel bone, not because of the accidental explosion of the mother box, but after a football game, he and his mother are in a car accident.

His mother died, and he himself lost both legs and his left arm.

The rest of the development is not much different from the comics.

His father used all sorts of tricks to try to get him back to life.

Just when his father tried all kinds of methods to save him, the mother box in the laboratory was activated, and he began to take the initiative to transform Victor.

Then, Victor turned into a steel skeleton.

Although the reasons that led Victor to become Cyborg are different, one thing is the same, that is, the power of Cyborg comes from the mother box of the Apocalypse.

Roy had previously confirmed that there had not yet been a Doomsday War against Superman and others in this universe.

As well as the great event of Steppenwolf collecting the mother box in an attempt to completely destroy the earth.

Although Doom Day and Steppenwolf have not yet appeared, the appearance of Cyborg means one thing, that is, the mother box that should have been kept by humans has now fallen into the hands of the officials of the beautiful country.

After recalling the information related to Cyborg in his mind, Roy said to Maggie:

"Has the school announced in advance what the main content of this open class on finance will be covered?"

Although it has been clearly stated that it is an open course in finance, the content of finance is not ordinary.

Even if the instructor of this public class is a steel bone, Roy doesn't think he can finish all the content of finance in just one or two hours.

Unless he has invented black technology that can transfer knowledge directly to the human brain.

"No, the school just notified the location and time of the class, as well as the instructor who gave the lecture."

"As for the rest, the school didn't say."

Maggie replied quickly.

As soon as she finished speaking, Selina spoke:

"Since the school has specially arranged such an open class, let's go over and listen to it."

"Even if you can't learn anything, it's just a waste of time at best."

For Diana, it was enough to experience what it was like to take classes at university.

As for what kind of course it is, she doesn't care at all.

"Uh-huh."

"Then we'll go over as soon as we're done."

"There should be a lot of people who want to listen to this class."

Maggie said quickly.

"Uh-huh!"

Selina nodded back.

Roy wasn't as interested as Selina, but he was now curious as to why Cyborg had suddenly come to Metropolitan University to give an open class on finance.

In Metropolis, there are now three superheroes that everyone knows so well.

Superman and Diana, he's already seen both.

There are only half-human, half-machine steel skeletons left that have not yet been seen.

He thought that it would be at least a while, for example, under Diana's matchmaking, that he would have the opportunity to meet Cyborg.

As a result, I didn't expect to see Cyborg at Metropolitan University today.

After lunch, the three Roy didn't waste time and went straight to the auditorium where the class was held.

Considering that there will be no shortage of people who want to take this open class.

The school did not arrange the classes in a certain classroom, but directly arranged them in the school auditorium, which can accommodate thousands of people.

However, even so, when Roy and the others arrived in the auditorium, half of the seats in the auditorium were already occupied.

It's really popular!

Glancing at the students in the auditorium, Roy sighed in his heart.

After finding three empty seats and sitting down, they waited patiently for the arrival of the steel bones.

Little by little, time passed.

Soon, it was time for class.

While everyone else waited expectantly for Cyborg's arrival, Roy frowned slightly.

Something is wrong!

"What's wrong?"

Seeing his expression, Selina immediately asked.

"Something isn't quite right."

Roy looked around and said slowly.

"What's wrong?"

Selina continued.

"Something is wrong with those school staff."

Perhaps in order to maintain order, there were many people in the auditorium who wore formal clothes and employee ID cards.

On the surface, they are the staff of the school.

But Roy found that they, without exception, were all in a state of readiness.

What's more, their coats are slightly bulging.

Although he didn't have the ability to see, Roy immediately guessed what was hidden inside their clothes.

Firearms!

Selina followed Roy's gaze and saw the faculty and staff guarding the various warehouses in the auditorium.

Although she didn't have the domineering ability to sense the emotions of her target, she could also see that something was wrong with these people.

If these people with work cards were really school staff, they should be relaxed by now.

But their expressions were not relaxed at all.

"Wouldn't they want to ......"

Selina was only halfway through and didn't go any further.

But it was enough for Roy to know what she wanted to say.

School Shooting!

If you had to pick one country in the world with the most school shootings, it would be a beautiful country.

The proliferation of guns, coupled with the spread of all sorts of strange ideas.

There are a lot of people in the beautiful country who want to use school shootings to get attention or achieve some special purpose.

"It's hard to say right now."

"But if it's true, then they're definitely prepared."

Roy said with great certainty.

If this were Gotham, it might just be a terrorist attack orchestrated by some fanatical organization.

But the problem is, it's not Gotham here, it's Metropolis.

In the metropolis, Superman and Wonder Woman are absolutely unavoidable existences.

From conquering or destroying the world to robbing convenience stores or pedestrians, consider whether you will be stopped by Superman and Wonder Woman.

If it is said that the Metropolitan Police are ten times more efficient in handling cases than the Gotham Police.

Then Superman and Wonder Woman are a hundred times more efficient at stopping crimes than the Metropolitan Police and a thousand times more efficient than the Gotham Police.

If you want to plan a terrorist attack inside Metropolitan University, the organizers behind it must have thought about how to deal with Superman and Wonder Woman, who are ready to arrive at any moment.

If they hadn't even thought about it, they wouldn't have taken action lightly.

It's true that madmen are crazy, but that doesn't mean they don't have brains.

"Are you going to stop them in advance?"

Selina continued.

"Let's see."

"Stop them now, maybe the organizers behind them will escape early."

"By the way, you can send Diana a message first and tell her about the situation here."

Roy said to Selina.

Although he has the ability to stop these people in advance, he doesn't plan to do it right now.

Unless the purpose of this group of people is to trick the students over, and then start indiscriminate attacks without saying a word.

Otherwise, Roy has enough patience to wait for the real organizer behind the scenes to appear.

"Uh-huh!"

After hearing Roy's words, Selina immediately took out her phone and planned to text Diana.

But soon, her expression became a little difficult to look at.

"No signal."

Selina said quickly.

It's accurate and comprehensive!

It is clear that this group of terrorists, who have not yet shown their true intentions, have set up signal jammers in advance.

"If there's no signal, forget it."

"I guess they'll start moving in a minute."

Roy said to Selina.

As time passed, the otherwise quiet auditorium became noisy.

It's time for class.

But Cyborg didn't show up for a long time.

Although most of the people who attended this public class were students from Metropolitan University, they actually came to this public class with the idea of meeting superheroes up close.

Otherwise, students from other departments may not be interested in it, except for those who are studying finance themselves.

Now, however, the person they most wanted to see has not appeared.

If it's just late, then as long as someone comes out and says something, everyone won't have any opinion.

However, not only did no one come out to explain it now, but many students also found that there was no signal at all in the auditorium.

What's more, the "faculty and staff" who were supposed to maintain order not only failed to maintain order inside the auditorium, but also began to close the doors and entrances of the auditorium.

After seeing this, as long as your brain is still normal, you can definitely realize that something is wrong.

Just when some students were about to come forward to reason with these "faculty and staff" and ask for an explanation, these "faculty and staff" who were dressed in formal clothes and had their work cards on their chests took out their firearms that they had brought with them.

Subsequently, the gun was pointed at the ceiling of the auditorium and the trigger was pulled.

Bang bang......

Fierce gunfire suddenly resounded throughout the auditorium.

As a college student in a beautiful country, after hearing the gunshots, the students in the auditorium were very experienced and immediately squatted down to avoid physical exposure as much as possible.

Although Roy was not afraid of bullets, in order not to appear so maverick, he also crouched down like the other students.

When the gunfire stopped, all the students crouched down next to their seats.

The auditorium, which used to be noisy like a shopping mall, has become very quiet at this time.

While the other students prayed in fear on their faces, Roy showed his domineering attitude and began to sense the situation of the entire school.

Thanks to the excellent soundproofing of the auditorium, no gunshots were heard outside the auditorium building.

The whole school is still quiet and peaceful.

What the hell are these guys going to do?

After perceiving the campus with a domineering look, Roy didn't find anything noteworthy.

If anything's special, it's that he doesn't perceive any superhuman aura.

In the entire school, no one in the school possessed extraordinary abilities except himself.

Just as Roy was thinking about what the terrorists were trying to do, the loudspeaker in the auditorium suddenly sounded.

"Good afternoon, all the top students of Metropolitan University."

It's an electronically synthesized adult male voice.

"Let me introduce myself, my name is Grid."

Grid?

After hearing the name, information about a certain supervillain quickly flashed through Roy's mind.

Like Superman and Wonder Woman, Cyborg has many opponents.

Of these opponents, Grid is undoubtedly the most special one.

As for the reason, it's simple, because the grid is not a human, but a self-aware computer program.

The mesh was originally a mechanical part of the steel skeleton.

After being implanted with the virus by the supervillain "Original Child", self-awareness and personality are developed.

Possessing a grid of self-consciousness, he sees himself as the mechanical half of his steel-bone consciousness, while Victor is the human half.

Therefore, it takes it for granted that only by eliminating Victor can it experience true feelings.

To achieve this, it has attempted to separate the human body of the steel bone from the metal body formed by the mother box, and has also tried to completely destroy the consciousness of the steel bone in the digital world.

But the result is not to be guessed to know, it failed.

Defeated by the steel bones, it was imprisoned in its old mechanical body.

It wasn't until Darkseid started the war that it was reawakened by Scourge and lodged in a new body of Steelbone.

Unlike Cyborg's other opponents, the Grid doesn't have any big ambitions.

Its only purpose is to defeat the steel bones and gain true affection.

From this point of view, it can be regarded as a more maverick existence among supervillains.

That doesn't mean it's a threat, though.

Like Cyborg, the Grid can hack into any network at will, and manipulate a variety of connected machines and weapons.

What's more, because it's a computer program, it has a completely different view of life.

To put it simply, it doesn't think killing humans is a serious thing at all.

Not to mention killing, if defeating Cyborg requires exterminating all humans on Earth, it will not hesitate at all.

Even if other supervillains want to conquer the world, they will more or less leave some ordinary humans behind, so as not to completely exterminate the human race.

Unless it's an alien like Darkseid or Steppenwolf.

After hearing Grid's self-introduction, Roy knew that this time things were getting a little troublesome.
