ComiConverse Fantasy Football Draft – Part 2
I am a proud Blerd who lives in the Pacific Northwest home. My dad had an interest in comic books and instilled a passion for them in me. After decades of being a Marvel Fanatic, I got sucked into the DC whirlpool that was The New 52 launch. Currently, I am moving more into various independent and non-mainstream titles. I am a proud supporter of local artists, comic book creators, and comic book businesses. My two goals as a writer for ComiConverse are 1) to highlight new, little-known, and/or diverse titles, artists and writers, and work that is coming out of the smaller publication houses and 2) to address issues of race, gender, and sexual orientation in comics and the industry.
No. 11: Safety – Victor Stone (Cyborg)
Cover of Cyborg #1 (July 2015)
Safeties need to anticipate as much as linebackers do as they work to provide pass coverage. Vic Stone, who is moving out of being simply a member of the Justice League to being the focus of his own on-going title, is part man and part machine. Even though events in his comic have him facing some difficulties with his machine half, the technology that he has as an integrated part of his body will allow him to calculate the probability of what will happen on a play and react almost instantaneously.
With robotic strength and computer-like accuracy, Stone would have an undeniable impact on the game.
