Warning! This post contains SPOILERS for Titans #30DC Comics just gave Victor Stone's Cyborg one of the coolest upgrades of all time. Thanks to the ongoing "King Omega" event, Victor has never been more powerful, thanks to an absolutely perfect ultimate form for the classic Titan hero.
DC's K.O. event is currently in the midst of eight action-packed 1v1 showdowns. As seen in the new Titans #30, Cyborg has surprisingly been pitted against a fellow hero who's very much his opposite, forcing him to take on an epic, all-new form in this new issue.
Cyborg Fought Swamp Thing in DC's "King Omega" Tournament
DC’s King Omega tournament is a cosmic, high-stakes battle royale designed to test champions across wildly different power sets, with the ultimate winner receiving the power of the Heart of Apokolips, the one thing that might be enough to stop Darkseid himself.
Currently, Cyborg is one of 16 remaining combatants in this major tournament, where he's now forced to fight none other than Swamp Thing if he wants to progress to the next round. Each of these 1v1 showdowns has been structured as a best-of-three contest. As such, both Cyborg and Swamp Thing each won a round before Victor chose a brand-new form.
Naturally, the contrast between the two heroes is genius with highly advanced tech taking on an avatar connected to the elemental force of nature known as The Green (organic plant-life). However, Cyborg's all-new "Titanic Form" is inspired, connecting to the team of superheroes Victor will always see as his family.
Cyborg's New "Titanic" Form Is The Coolest Upgrade He's Ever Received
The third and deciding round introduces Cyborg’s new Titanic Form, capable of unleashing various powers inspired by the Titans themselves. Each ability reflects a teammate. Starbolts channel Starfire. Shadow magic evokes Raven. Precision arrows for Arsenal. Likewise, razor claws, escrima sticks, and unbreakable bonds nod to Beast Boy, Nightwing, and Donna Troy, respectively.
What makes the form special isn’t just the raw strength and power on display. It’s epic symbolism. Cyborg doesn’t win by abandoning his humanity or isolating himself inside technology. He wins by drawing strength from his family, even if they aren't by his side personally.
With Victor becoming the ultimate Titans combo, Swamp Thing ultimately respects Cyborg's evolution, allowing him to be the ultimate victor of their showdown.

It's far too cool to only be seen just once.
