A Teen age superhero created by an inter-dimensional experiment gone awry, Cyborg is one of the cornerstones of The Teen Titans. Victor Stone was trying to be an ordinary highschool kid when one of his father's experiments changed his life forever. First by horribly mutilating him, then by rebuilding him as perhaps more machine than man. Cyborg did find some solace in being a hero and role model for other children with their own disabilities.

The most conniving politician that I have ever focused on so far. The weasel that convinced the sweet and pure Jar-Jar Binks to found the Galactic Empire.
