Although some may argue that his first solo villain was Twoface, a Batman villain, Cyborg’s first real villain was actually his childhood best friend, Ronald Evers. In Tales of the New Team Titans #1 in 1982, Ronald takes it upon himself to investigate the accident that changed his friend. After learning that Cyborg’s tech was being used for military purposes by Star Labs, Ronald attempts to blow up the building. Cyborg shows up to stop him, and during the fight, Ronald falls from the roof. He is later saved by the very company he tried to destroy, leading to countless fights between him and Cyborg over the years.
