TumblrFrostbite's Public AU Questions: If Silas Stone was the one to be re-made into a cyborg instead of his son, how different would his life be? What would happen to Victor Stone (his son)'s if he never became a cyborg? Note: This scenario can happen in any DC universe. ANY DC universe.
I think Silas Stone would have gone the villain route. the only thing that made Silas pay attention to Victor was the shock of his son’s injuries. Injuries that would have killed his son, were it not for the fact that Silas chose to experiment on his son and turn Vic into the cyborg.
that’s the key too. Silas was still being selfish when he turned Vic into Cyborg. It was still all about Silas. So, if the same thing happened to Silas and he merged himself with a combination of cutting-edge, military grade weapons tech and New Godsian Motherbox tech… Silas would probably think all of his prayers were answered and that he was finally free to do and know anything and everything without consequence.
Vic Stone became a hero in spite of, not because of his Dad being a self-centered prick that experimented on him.
