Doom Patrol: Will Cyborg get another origin story and finally be a permanent member of DC's new franchise?

Cyborg has been a long-standing member of 'Teen Titans' and the 'Justice League', but has never been able to call any franchise his home... Is it going to change with Doom Patrol

Cyborg aka Victor Stone is a cybernetically enhanced human being, who became his metal self due to an explosion in his father's lab, which killed Cyborg's mother, and left him severely injured. To save Cyborg's life, his father attached advanced experimental prosthetics to his deformed body, making Cyborg somewhat whole again.

But this turn of events left Cyborg feeling less than human and is also pretty similar to a lot of background stories of the main 'Doom Patrol' characters.

But the latest origin story of Cyborg adapted by Zack Snyder in the Justice League movies, shows that he was created due to an explosion of a Motherbox (a piece of highly advanced, sentient technology from the New Gods), which then got attached to his physical form giving him extraordinary capabilities which were well beyond the ken of science at the time.

This origin story is by far one of the most sensible and provides the character with a sense of depth as compared to his previous origin.
