Young Justice: Outsiders - 4 Ups & 2 Downs From The Season 3 Finale

3. Halo and Cyborg's Ascension

Young Justice Finale
DC Universe

This season may have introduced a lot of new characters into the fold, but none of them have been quite as important to the show as Violet Harper/Halo and Victor Stone/Cyborg. One was birthed when a Mother Box merged with the body of a dead woman, while the other was created by merging a Father Box with a dying young man. Both, however, were Outsiders in their own way.

After a year full of Violet saving Victor from falling victim to his ever-evolving Father Box technology, it was only fitting that in the season's final act he saved her from being controlled by her Mother Box technology (which would have given Granny Goodness the power to control the meta-humans).

An unlikely alliance of two characters that never really saw themselves as heroes, they were two sides of the same coin that ultimately became the key to foiling Darkseid's plans and defeating Granny once and for all - and in the process, they even saved the Justice League.

In that moment, both of their season-long character journeys reached fulfilling conclusions as, in that moment, they both became heroes. And, perhaps most importantly of all, in that moment, Victor Stone became Cyborg.
