Cyborg (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyborg_(comics)) is also a cyborg but a more traditional cyborg. Cyborg has big pieces of shiny metal stuck all over his body. One of his eyes looks like a camera and kind of is a camera. Cyborg looks like a cyborg and he does not like the way he looks. Dad made Cyborg into a cyborg to save his son’s life. Dad had never watched the Six Million Dollar man, yet another cyborg and had thought of making the prosthetics more cosmetically appealing by coating them with flesh colored plastic and using thinner pieces of metal. This never occurs to Cyborg either and mostly he sulks about looking like a monster. Cyborg has super strength as opposed to enhanced strength i.e. he is stronger than Blood Shot but not as fast and agile and all those big pieces of metal probably even slow him down a bit. Cyborg has any number of built in weapons and gadgets unlike Bloodshot. One of his many gadgets is a device that enables him to control most computer systems. An old fashioned version of technopathy compared to Bloodshot’s. Most of Cyborg is covered with promethium, an exotic metal. Promethum is pretty much indestructible but Cyborgs human innards are still vulnerable.
Bloodshot and Cyborg are both shopping at Cyborg R US the trendy new chain of clothing stores for the burgeoning cyborg population. Both spot a really cool limited edition T-Shirt by Polo. The T-Shirt has “Cyborgs Make Better Lovers” as its motto. This is the T-Shirt every upscale cyborg must have but there is only one left! This is a limited edition T-Shirt and both parties realize there probably isn’t another one on sale anywhere. Cyborg needs every fashion break he can get and really hates how the fact that Bloodshot is a cyborg and actually looks pretty cool rather than looking like a monster. Bloodshot is actually a better lover since becoming a cyborg since the nanites give him enhanced stamina and control of every part of his body. Cyborg hasn’t had any good loving since becoming a cyborg despite having a gadget just for such a purpose. Bloodshot does not care for Cyborg’s hostile attitude. After some arguing and attempts to use their technopathy on each other, which fails, they square off to fight for the T-Shirt.
Bloodshot is more agile than Cyborg and gets the first shot. Blooshot shoots Cyborg with a machine gun but the bullets just bounce off Cyborg’s promethium. Cyborg then aims his sonic scrambler at Bloodshot and stuns Bloodshot. A normal person would have been knocked out but Bloodshot has enhanced regeneration. The sonic scrambler affects everything in front of it so there is not much in the way of aiming or much possibility of dodging the beam.
Bloodshot could have leapt over Cyborg and hit Cyborg from behind but Bloodshot is not that sort of fighter. This is despite probably having the ability to pull of this move. If I had enhanced strength and agility this would be my standard move since it routinely gets you out of the way of whatever they can toss at you and gets you behind them. Basically apply dog fight logic to hand to hand combat.
Cyborg closes in a punches Bloodshot. In theory a punch from the likes of someone with super strength should take the head right off of someone lacking Superman style invulnerablity as is the case with Bloodshot but this never happens in comic books since this would upset the six children that still read comic books. Bloodshot is conked out and Cyborg wins!
