Superhero Universes Have Their Own Special Support Groups

I love the idea of a Robots Anonymous existing in the DC Universe (as seen in Green Arrow #10). It's a world where Cyborg is a member of the Justice League, who are loved worldwide. At the moment. I think.

I'm not sure whether R.A. is for people who need some support for their decision to go mechanical, or for people who have regrets and need help coping. It could be both, though that seems potentially volatile.

Still, why wouldn't there be people who tried it in a world where it's clearly possible? Maybe not because they love Cyborg (or the Transhuman, or whoever), though I'm sure he has his fans, but just because they think it looks cool, or it's something to, or maybe it was an attempt at a prosthetic limb. And naturally, there'd be consequences to that decision. They might regret it, after it was too late to go back. Their family might disapprove, so they either hide it, which causes problems, or they're open with it, and have to deal with a lot crap from the family, which causes other problems.

It's one of those little touches that makes sense for a world like the DC Universe that seems to fit perfectly. I think the Marvel Universe version is the Descendants Remender introduced in Secret Avengers, who as a group who fear their extermination at the hands of what they perceive as authority figures, fit perfectly in that universe.
