Welcome to our speculative stadium, where legends duke it out and winner takes all! All what? No one knows! We’re just here to have fun!
This week’s fight is between one of the most heroic mechanical men and one of the most villainous-Red Tornado vs. Cyborg Superman!
In a face-off between the synthetic Justice League hero and the astronaut turned deadly foe of Superman and the Green Lantern Corps, who do you think would emerge triumphant? Let us know your pick and why, below!
I just read the first volume of the collected George Perez JLA. There’s a two-part story in it about Red Tornado and his origin. He has a complicated backstory! So does Cyborg Superman, actually.
Looks like my vote just tied things up! I’m not an expert on either character, but I’m pretty sure Cyborg Supes has this one in the bag? He has some level of technokinesis, which would be a problem for RT, plus the powers of Superman? easy win.
Hate to use same reason twice in a row lol. But, like Eradicator was able to become programming ,& take human’esque form. Henshaw takes that to an entirely new level. He can be turned into liquid, & sneak inside a circuit on the moon & survive. He’s like a water Bear (Tardigrades).
I want to give it to Red Tornado, because has a figure in the Super Powers and JLA lines, while Cyborg Superman never got his Kenner/Hasbro era dues, sadly.
However! Cyborg Superman and Red Tornado both have badass figures from Mattel, and I do like their Cyborg Superman figures (especially the 6-inch one) more than those for Red Tornado, so…I’ll vote for Cyborg Superman.
Also: Cyborg Superman had a sweet entrance in Dark Crisis #2, so he’s got that going for him. Which is nice.
