Zack Snyder’s Justice League: 27 WTF Moments
6. Silas Sacrifices Himself
When Steppenwolf arrives at Heroes Park in order to acquire the third Mother Box, fans finally get the payoff to Cyborg's arc that's been threaded throughout the film.
His father Silas ends up sacrificing himself at S.T.A.R. Labs, attempting to use an extremely powerful laser to destroy the box, obliterating himself in the process.
This seems to be in vain given that Steppenwolf quickly acquires the Mother Box and escapes, but it turns out that he actually used the laser to mark the Mother Box with a thermal signature, allowing the heroes to track it.
Considering how totally incomplete Victor and Silas' arc felt in the Whedon Cut, this was terrific by comparison.
