Fictional character biography

Summarize
Perspective

Silas Stone is a scientist who formerly worked at S.T.A.R. Labs and is the father of Victor Stone. When Victor was in high school, he was mauled by an alien creature that emerged from an interdimensional portal at S.T.A.R. Labs, forcing Silas to convert Victor into a cyborg to save his life. Victor comes to resent Silas due to his transformation, which Silas attempts to mend by building Titans Tower for the Teen Titans.[1] Years later, Silas is terminally ill with radiation poisoning caused by energy from the dimensional portal; however, he manages to reconcile with Victor before dying.[2]

The New 52

Silas Stone is resurrected following the 2011 relaunch "The New 52", which rebooted the continuity of the DC universe. This version of Silas is a scientist at S.T.A.R. Labs in Detroit. He is studying a mysterious box when he is informed of the arrival of his son Victor, who attempts to tell him about the scholarships that he received. Silas states that Victor does not need a scholarship as he is already paying for his school, which leads to the two arguing. The box in the Justice League's possession and the box at S.T.A.R. Labs are activated, which leads to a horde of Parademons emerging and wounding Victor.[3] Silas takes Victor to a secure room, where he is outfitted with experimental technology and briefly goes into cardiac arrest. Silas realizes that Victor is alive when he starts speaking in binary code, indicating that his repaired body is now online.[4] When Victor awakens, he defends his father from the invading Parademons.[5]

In Dawn of DC, Silas is revealed to have died, with his consciousness being transferred into a robotic body. He later sacrifices himself to help Cyborg stop the robot Solace.[6][7]
