Harley Quinn’s Cyborg Might Be Better Than the Justice League’s – CBR – Comic Book Resources

WARNING: The following article contains spoilers for Harley Quinn Season 1, streaming now on DC Universe.

In the Harley Quinn animated series, the title character has had a topsy-turvy relationship with her crew of vagabonds as she tries to get over Joker. However, this relationship soured after they figured out Harley saw them as nothing more than pawnsto get into the Legion of Doom, and comrades she'd part with at the drop of a hat to reunite with the Joker.

But as they all work together to retrieve a kidnapped Poison Ivy, we discover Harley has her very own Cyborg in the shape of her landlord, Sy Borgman. What's especially interesting is that this Cyborg might even be better than the Justice League's.

Vic Stone's shown us time and time again, whether it's with the kid-friendlyTeen Titansor in theJustice League as a badass half-human, half-robot how powerful he is as a hero. He's currently a hybrid New God, and with Apokoliptian tech driving the new version of the character, he really is a one-man wrecking crew, made from Mother Box tech. However, due to him interfacing with machinesall around the Multiverse, he's had viruses infect him and can turn on the heroes at any time. Darkseid has currently weaponized him in this way in Justice League Odyssey, laying bare hisflaws and vulnerabilities.

In Harley Quinn,Sy Borgman's last name says it all -- matching up with his disposition from the comics in the "Harley Quinn Highway" episode. He's a retired wheelchair-bound U.S. agent with some cybernetic enhancements and an ally of Harley Quinn who first appeared in 2014's Harley Quinn #2. Here, though, he's way cruder anda bit of a pervert whoconstantly harasses Harley for rent. He even tried to burn her crew alive when their psyches were locked in a battle to free Harley in her own Inception episode. Little did we know the power he held within.

When they break into Ivy's psyche and rescue her from Scarecrow's clutches after his experiments to create a new fear toxin, they sadly don't have a transport to chase him down. He's going to attack Gotham but Harley's car has been towed for parking illegally outside Scarecrow's lab. This is where Sy comes into play, transforming into a war machine. He's a tank you'd expect from a Batman story, revealing he was a spy in the CIA who enrolled in a special cyborg program which turned him into a "Transchanger" aka a Cyborg-man, ergo his name.

In other words, he's a mix of a Transformer and Cyborg, and becomes the vessel that charges down the Harley highway to save Gotham. He's got an array of weapons for the job as well, such as missile launchers, and with his military experience, he holds his own and provides more-than-able support for the gang. He doesn't take time to adjust like Vic did as Cyborg and because he's totally disconnected and off the grid, Sy's incorruptible.

Of course, he falls asleep a couple of times due to his narcolepsy, but he eventually helps Harley cause Scarecrow to crash. Unfortunately, the villain ends uppolluting Gotham's water reserve which causes mass chaos as monster-trees begin ravaging the population. But the kicker is, when the crew looks to Sy for another trip, he's out cold. We'reprettysure he isn't dead, though --whichthe episode didn't clear up -- because, as he repeatedly told his tenant, "you can't keep a good Sy Borgman down!"
