Cyborg

Yet again something that won’t happen in the small-screen Flashpoint. Instead of Superman becoming the go-to superhero, Cyborg took his place – which also explains why he is a founding member of the Justice League in the new 52.

However, despite being the most recognizable superhero of the timeline, his job cannot get any more difficult. Besides having to find a way to stop the war, besides being unable to bring Batman onto his team, he also has to deal with the politicians. He is the war dog of the President – and, in the end, he can only disappoint.

But, at least, in the new 52 he is one of the most powerful superheroes and a founding member of the Justice League. He won’t appear on CW, but he will during the first Justice League movie, next year.
