Finally, David F. Walker opened up slightly on Twitter about his time writing DCs solo Cyborg comic, disclosing he was told that Cyborg needed to have more skin showing so he could have tattoos and be thugged out.' Walker, who confirmed the suggestions did not come from Dan DiDio, Bob Harras or Geoff Johns, said the ideas came from several [other] people in positions of power and influence. The original redesigns of Vic had his arms covered in tattoos. I went behind the back of editorial and asked the artist to not draw him that way. Walker ultimately wrote nine issues of the 2015-16 run; the last three issues were written by Marv Wolfman.
