The Teen Titans Coming To The Absolute Universe, Starting With Cyborg
The Teen Titans are coming to the Absolute Universe, starting with Cyborg in Absolute Flash, announced by Jeff Lemire at San Diego Comic-Con
Article Summary
- Absolute Cyborg is joining DC’s Absolute Universe in Absolute Flash #20, as Jeff Lemire begins bringing in teen heroes.
- Jeff Lemire confirmed Absolute Cyborg is only the first, teasing more Teen Titans set to arrive soon in the Absolute line.
- Absolute Flash #20 also introduces Ray Palmer as the Absolute Atom, with Vic Stone making his major Absolute debut.
- The new Absolute Cyborg debut may connect to wider Brainiac and Heart of Omega threads already unfolding across DC.
There were a lot of announcements at San Diego Comic-Con this week. Some of them were made by Bleeding Cool ourselves! Most of them were ahead of the delayed release of the DC Comics October 2026 solicits and solicitations, but others were just very sweet and cool, and off to the side. At the Absolute Universe panel, Absolute Flash writer Jeff Lemire said, “We want to start bringing in more teenage heroes.” Such as the design of the Absolute Cyborg, Vic Stone, in the Absolute Universe, coming to Absolute Flash #20, alongside Ray Palmer, the Absolute Atom. And giving us more of an Akira vibe… and say, could that be an Absolute Brainiac influence? Lemoire says, “He’s not the only Teen Titan who will be coming soon”.
And given that in Teen Titans, the DC Universe version of Cyborg has been messing with an interdimensional version of the Heart Of Omega with visions of a Darkseid future, that is just begging to be grabbed by an Absolute Brainiac who has also been by the DC Universe once or twice, will there be a connection between the two Vic Stones as well? But more Absolute Teen Titans are also coming. Might they be able to grab a certain paramedic Dick Grayson from the Robin programme over in Absolute Batman, maybe? Just a thought…
