After a brief introduction in Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice, Victor Stone aka Cyborg received a detailed origin story in Zack Snyder's Justice League. After a traumatic accident, his father Silas Stone resurrected him with the help of a Mother Box. While this experiment left Victor with a mechanical body, it also offered him a wide range of powers that he uses to help others.
Going in line with the comics, the DCEU variant of Cyborg boasts of powers and abilities like self-regenerative systems, superhuman strength, and durability. Long story short, Cyborg's enhanced body and artillery turn him into a nearly indestructible hero.
10 Marksmanship And Cannon Blasts
Cyborg usually relies on his arm's plasma cannon but as is shown in the Knightmare sequence, he can also dispense a larger cannon from behind his shoulder. While he doesn't have any formal training in shooting, his marksmanship is notable.
For instance, in the film's final battle, he's easily able to aim and kill flying Parademons. With his plasma cannon, he can generate highly destructive explosions of blue plasma energy. It was Cyborg's plasma cannon that eventually brought Superman back to life. In one scene, his cannon's blasts also injured Steppenwolf.
9 Durability
Cyborg's enhanced body naturally gives him superhuman durability. Despite Steppenwolf inflicting damage on his shoulder and then tearing his limbs apart, Cyborg's body could still be repaired later to its natural state.
Apart from withstanding blunt force impact, flying and fighting at high altitude levels doesn't affect his bodily functions. The very fact that Cyborg is capable of modifying his own cybernetic components at will allows for greater flexibility.
8 Flight
Cyborg can also fly at great heights due to the thrusters located under his palms and feet. The flight velocities that he can achieve are also noteworthy as he can match the speed of his peers at the Justice League.
As mentioned earlier, his body is durable at a high altitude. However, the organic part of his face are still exposed to the cold air. To combat this exposure, he also possesses a foldable faceplate that can cover his face.
7 High Intellect
Apart from being a highly skilled athlete in school, Victor Stone also possessed a high intellect. His genius only improved further with his metamorphosis into Cyborg. A major factor behind this might be the fact that his brain is linked to the Internet, allowing him to access and absorb large amounts of data.
This allows him to easily figure out even complex technology systems that are not from this planet, like the Motherbox. In fact, he was the one who could deduce Lex Luthor's plan to create Doomsday. Once Cyborg assessed this plan, he could rely on the same process to bring back Superman.
6 Technopathy
Cyborg's implants don't just allow him to manipulate technology but also 'hear' and 'communicate' through what is referred to as technopathy. Be it updating Bruce Wayne's Batcomputer and Knightcrawler or communicating with the Mother Box, his skills with control and manipulation over electronic data are unmatched.
His technopathy can go beyond just encrypting data. This can be seen from how he can repair basic gadgets like Silas Stone's tape recorder (which Cyborg had himself destroyed earlier).
5 Extra Arms
The Knightmare timeline revealed how Cyborg can manifest extra arms from his book. This could be seen in further detail with Jerad S Marantz's concept design for Zack Snyder's Justice League. These arms would clearly help the superhero in added mobility and dexterity.
Given how his arms can ordinarily be subjected to numerous modifications, there are high chances that these extra arms also have the potential to turn into blasters, cannons, and other weapons.
4 Superhuman Speed And Reflexes
A bio-cyber interface in Cyborg's nervous system allows him to think and act faster, making for massively improved reflexes. His natural speed is also to the level of superhumans allowing him to stealthily execute his actions. A case in point can be the scene when Cyborg, Batman, and Wonder-Woman slip away within a split second as Commissioner Gordon and The Flash appear confused.
Weapons like the plasma cannon and rocket launcher can also be used at an efficient speed, hardly requiring any recharging.
3 Superhuman Strength
Cyborg's increased durability naturally corresponds to the levels of his physical strength. He is able to deflect and lift objects heavier than him. This is evident from the final battle sequences when he hurls Aquaman through the air, and when he tries separating the three Mother Boxes with his bare hands. In another scene, Cyborg is able to counter a Humvee mid-air and knock it back.
Along with such immense strength, Cyborg also has superhuman stamina. Even his organic parts rarely need any rest. He doesn't even need to consume any food for energy.
2 Self-Healing
The Apokoliptan Mother Box is the key to not just Cyborg's strength but also his healing. The most clear-cut example of his healing would be the aforementioned battle with Steppenwolf in which the New God managed to dismember his limbs. And still, within a few minutes, Cyborg could regenerate his entire body structure including both his cybernetic and organic parts.
Combined with his exceptional strength, the healing factor ensures his longevity for an unspecified amount of time.
1 Arm Modifications
Be it in the comics or the film, one of Cyborg's most identifiable powers is his arm modifications. At will, he can turn his arms into a plasma cannon or a rocket launcher. As for defense, he can even morph his arms into a shield that can withstand heat. The shield is so effective that it could even deflect Superman's heat vision.
The scope of his modifications knows no bounds as he can even replicate technology that's from outside the planet. While the team explores a Kryptonian ship, he is able to generate a Kryptonian command key.
