Who is your favorite tech nigga hero of the 3?

>>150216312 (OP)
Steel
Mr Terrific is too grating, Cyborg is just a plot device

>>150216312 (OP)
Steel

However, TT03 Cyborg is my favorite but not standard sadly

>>150216312 (OP)
Mr. Terrific, I've always liked him, I'm in no way a Gunn tourist.

>>150216312 (OP)
Steel

This is why the Young Justice generation failed.
Never got a genius tech black guy.
JSA: Mr Terrific
JLA: Steel
Titans: Cyborg

Steel is the most noble and heroic. He got into this business because he saw a need and he stepped up.

>>150216312 (OP)
Cyborg is ok but overused
Steel is based
Mr Terrific Is a little on the bland side but he has a really cool jacket

>>150216852
Cyborg was in young justice but they wasted him and had him say booyah once to cater to TT03fags and they also had Static.

People forget but Vergil is the smart one too

>>150216312 (OP)
Mister Terrific
Pre-Flashpoint Cyborg always felt like he was leeching off his dad's work and the STAR Labs crew instead of being an inventor in his own right. Post flashpoint he's a motherbox with legs. Literally the worst origin of the continuity reset, and the only one that stuck around through Rebirth and Death Metal.
All the dumb changes they forced on Cyborg would have actually made sense for Steel. Remove his direct ties to Superman. Give White Rabbit ties to Intergang which lead Irons to a motherbox. Take that "White Zone" stuff from his 90s run and tie that to the motherbox too. Superman can give Steel his name during Darkseid War.

We’re talking about comics anon.
Not some lame cartoon.

>>150216312 (OP)
Steel > Cyborg > Terrific >>>>>>>>>>>>>> RiRi Williams AKA Iron Heart

No shade to Cyborg or Terrific either, Cyborg is my favorite Titan and Terrific is a fantastic legacy. Steel is just so fucking cool, man.

>>Pre-Flashpoint Cyborg always felt like he was leeching off his dad's work and the STAR Labs crew instead of being an inventor in his own right.
I actually like that about him and I wish they'd lean into that more. A tech hero who's not a genius himself, but who has a team, like how an F1 racer isn't his own pit crew. I like the football jock thrust into a dangerous world he barely understands, I like that with Firestorm too.

>>150216312 (OP)
Cyborg was only cool in the cartoon
Mr Terrific was only cool in the Superman movie
Steel was cool in the comics
So I'm going with Steel

>>150217737
WRONG, Mister Terrific is great in JSA. He's one of my favorite science heroes.

Damn, no Hardware mention?

>>150216312 (OP)
It's weird how the smartest one who can come up with the most insane shit, keeps to little hovering balls that hack computers while the others are working on mech suits and super lasers.

>>150216312 (OP)
The main problem with Cyborg is that since he is a fucking cyborg, he is the one character that is safe to show being ripped apart or having his legs torn off to show how big and scary the villain is. So we have lots and lots of examples of Cyborg getting his ass kicked because the writer wanted to prove a point. It makes him look kinda pathetic after a while.

It's the same problem Vision has, he is okay to display having his arms ripped off by the big bad villain, to show off how big and had he is so after a few decades of it the character looks useless.

>>150217641
He still could have that, what happened to Lex's motherbox suit from 2018?

>>150217724
But the thing is, he was a genius. Wolfman was one of the more "realistic" writers in that he didn't write the ayn rand style self-made man. All the intelligent people in his books, Cyborg, Robin, Bumblebee, etc., nobody was doing it alone.

>>150219639
It doesn't help to do it now, they should have done it 15 years ago.

>>150218924
literally, who?

Mr. Terrific would body both at the same time. Terrific would even be high diff for Superman.

>>150218924
This anon gets it.

>>150218924
Came here to say this

>>150217641
The Doom Patrol live action replacing Beast Boy with Cyborg as the young member of the team was the best thing they did with him in a long time. He honestly fits with the team so well and I wish they brought that to the comics

Where would War Machine stack up?

>>150216312 (OP)
Senyor Terrifico

>>150223448
He didn't make his tech and he's not a genius/guy in the chair type so he's not a real tech nigga hero in my eyes.

>>150221523
I liked him in that show but he felt kind of rudderless past like season 2 and their attempt to replace his daddy issues with race issues once that initial arc was resolved was too on the nose.

>>150216312 (OP)
I always liked Steel and Cyborg but I think Gunn was smart to give the spotlight to Terrific because he slots into that niche far better than either character when you think about it.

>>150223747
>Mr Terrific slots into the Superman mythology at the token smart nigga more than Steel
Are you retarded?

>>150224032
I'm talking about as a Justice League member in the long term for the future movies, Steel always felt more like just a Superman supporting character rather than a dude with his own identity since he literally began life as a Superman replacement.

>>150224372
There isn't going to be a justice league movie after superman underperforming, hence the whole "superman saga" pivot.

>>150216312 (OP)
They're all fine but underwhelming. No matter how pushed they always fall unto the background of team books.

>>150216312 (OP)
Steel. But i prefer war machine to all 3.

>>150224431
lol

>>150223685
Neither is Cyborg, really, though they've tried to turn him into one.

Mr. Terrific, from my JSA days.
I wanted to like Steel, but his ongoing never sold me on him. It's just damn hard to do "damn good engineer with a hammer... also he can fight Superman-level shit."
Cyborg I like as a Titan, and I've enjoyed him off-and-on since Perez, but my GOD they've wanked him in an effort to make him a character with the sort of power levels you saw in the Morisson-era-JLA.
"Very good athlete, and he's got these funky flying balls" is just honestly more fun.

>>150223685
I remember a few issues where Rhodey repaired/upgraded his armor

>>150216312 (OP)
By no means am I trying to pretend that I'm special or quirky for this answer, but I like Batwing more than either of the 3. If I had to choose strictly from this 3, I would go with Cyborg, as long as we agree on TT03 Cyborg being the golden standard. If we are strictly going for ccomics, then it's Steel.

I know it's Marvel but I recommend people too give a read to Ultimate Black Panther, (the new ultimate universe one) if you guys still read Marvel.


Kind of unrelated but on the other hand the world needs more "multiversal space 4Dchess against cthulhu is too easy" type of black characters, who aren't intimidating because of strength but because of intellect/charisma. Plus point if the have human supremacist tendencies.

>>150226768
I like Batman's plane more than these three characters too.

>>150226946
Good one, anon!

>I should have included an image, before someone actually misunderstands it.

>>150216312 (OP)
Mister Terrific if we are only talking comics. Teen Titans cartoon Cyborg if animated versions are included.

comicwise - Terrific, Steel, Cyborg
Terrific was solid in JSA and great in Terrifics, Steel is sold but never quite as good since his introcuction and solo. Cyborg is... there, decent solo but just there.
All other media - Cyborg, Terrific, Steel
Other than Teen titans, I loved Cyborg in Doom patrol. terrific was good in the Supeman movie, and Steel is just... there.

>>150216312 (OP)
why do comic book companies not make Nigachads like these anymore?

>>150216312 (OP)
What about Marvel? We have Blue Marvel and Black Panther.

>>150216852
what's the difference between Young Justice and Titans/Teen Titans?

>>150227358
>Other than Teen titans, I loved Cyborg in Doom patrol. terrific was good in the Supeman movie, and Steel is just... there.
You didn't like Steel in the superman tv show?

Terrific is insufferable and Cyborg is boring. Steel is by far the best of the three but he hasn't had anything good in years.

>>150217393
I don't read Superman comics. What was the need? Was it one of those things where Superman dies for a couple of months and so there's a vacuum?

>>150216312 (OP)
Steel.
Mr terrific is whatever
Cyborg sucks

>>150230017
Not him but yeah, it was after the first time he died and a bunch of Supermen tried to take on the mantle.

>>150230021
Oh so like that Batman thing where he "dies" and all the robins fight to be Batman

>>150216598
>Cyborg is just a plot device
That's a shame. I really loved Cyborg! But I'm referring to the 2003 animated series version. I've never read the comics.

>>150228713
Read comics you fucking casual

>>150228713
The Titans are their own independent team, and the Young Justice are more like young people that join the Justice League when they grow up.

>>150230017
>I don't read Superman comics.
What else do you read though? Batman comics?

>>150216312 (OP)
Cyborg

Steel is so good. he’s the Ironman character done right

>>150216852
They should've dumped Superboy from YJ and put Natasha in his place

>>150216312 (OP)
no
