Cyborg is a classic Teen Titan, yet it seems Vic Stone has been forgotten by his old team.

Warning: The following contains spoilers for Nightwing #75, by Dan Jurgens, Travis Moore, Ronan Cliquet, Nick Filardi and Andworld Design, on sale now.

Cyborg is a classic member of The Teen Titansalongside heroes such as Starfire and Beast Boy. Many fans fondly recall Vic Stone from the belovedTeen Titanscartoon, fighting bad guys with his fellow Titans.

It's surprising, then, that a recent photograph of The Teen Titans' most iconic members features everyone except Cyborg.

InNightwing#75, by Dan Jurgens, Travis Moore and Ronan Cliquet, Dick Grayson has recently regained his memories after a long stint of amnesia. Fellow Titans Donna Troy and Garth welcome Nightwing home. Although Dick still feels adrift, Donna attempts to cheer him up with a picture of all the classic Teen Titans: Robin, Wonder Girl, Kid Flash, Speedy, Aqualad, Starfire, Beast Boy and Raven.

Yet, unless the bottom right corner of the photo leaves something out, Cyborg is the only Teen Titan missing in this photo. Indeed, all of the heroes from Marv Wolfman and George Perez's seminal run onThe New Teen Titans are included except for Vic.

Cyborg's exclusion from Titans' history largely stems from 2011's "New 52" reboot of the DC Universe. Beginning withJustice League#1 by Geoff Johns and Jim Lee, Cyborg was reintroduced as a founding member ofthe titular superhero team. Replacing Martian Manhunter, Vic Stone became The Justice League's seventh member, standing alongside legends such as Superman and Batman.

All throughout the "New 52," Cyborgacted as a vital member of The Justice League, serving during major events such as "Throne of Atlantis" and "Darkseid War." Of course, Cyborg's inclusion in The Justice League also wiped out his history with The Teen Titans. Since Vic became Cyborg and then immediately founded The Justice League, there was no time for him to be a Titan, skipping straight to the big leagues.

Although the "New 52" largely separatedWolfman and Perez's "New Teen Titans," at least "Rebirth" reunited most of its members. Nightwing, Donna Troy and Wally West were featured in Titans, while Raven and Beast Boy joinedtheTeen Titansseries. Still, Cyborg was nowhere to be found, remaining firmly in the Justice Leaguetitle during events such asDark Nights: Metal.
