PASADENA, Calif. – Some of your favorite superheroes are so super, they have the ability to be on TV and in movies at the same time.

That includes popular DC Comics character Cyborg, who appeared in 2017's "Justice League," played by Ray Fisher, alongside Ben Affleck's Batman and Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman. But a different version of the character is coming to the DC Universe streaming service Friday in "Doom Patrol," with a new actor and a new look.

"We’re in a world in which, Cyborg (is) a different version than we’ve seen in the past in ‘Justice League’ or any other version," Joivan Wade, who plays the hero, told the Television Critics Association Saturday. "It’s an earlier Cyborg. It’s a version of him in which he’s coming into his powers and essentially he’s a long way off of the Justice League. You can really see a distinction between this version of the character and other versions."

In contrast to Marvel projects, which are all interconnected, DC Comics films and series are unrelated. There are already two versions of The Flash: Ezra Miller's in the feature films and Grant Gustin's in CW's series about the speedy superhero.

"Doom Patrol" is the second series to debut on the all-DC-Comics-all-the-time streaming service (the first, "Titans," premiered last fall). It's an expensive, ambitious project with big names (including Brendan Fraser and Matt Bomer, who mostly do voice work) and a lot of computer graphics. It follows a misfit team of superheroes with powers that range from typical to the very gross (there is a giant blob involved).

The producers aren't worried about confusing fans.

"DC has made a decision, quite smartly, to separate the feature world and the television world," producer Sarah Schecter said. "I don’t think there’s been any confusion. Comic books have always had multiple versions of the same characters."
