The latest revelation is a storyboard publish forJustice League , a sequence that would have explained the story of the Mother Box . It runs from the aftermath of the Second World War to the present day , detailing Cyborg ’s secret origin story .
According to Snyder , then , the Mother Box was find by the Nazis near to the end of the Second World War . It was presumably catch by the Allies , who spend decennium research it - right up until the mo Cyborg ’s father used it to cure his Logos . The storyboard is fascinating .
This prospect is for sure not canon . The Mother Box ’s backstory is actually detailed in a one - shot free with theWonder Womanhome release . It serves asa sort of epilogue toWonder Woman , with Etta Candy assembling a go team to go on a top secret charge . After the bombing in Liege , the " power - that - be " found something " very quondam and very potent . " confect wound up leading a squad to collect the inscrutable artefact , and ship it to the Americans . It was divulge to be the Mother Box .
The canon account go a little practiced . The estimate that a national socialist scientific team had retrieved a sort of " cosmic cube , " that was broadcast to the United States and studied by American scientists after the war , sounds a little too similar tothe TesseractinCaptain America : The First AvengerandThe Avengers . It ’s not a particularly satisfying construct , particularly givenJustice Leaguewas always going to be compare toThe Avengers .
It ’s not clear how far Snyder was in production when he chose to drop off this scenery . The general thought was hold for the DCEU - that the Mother Box was find after one of the World Wars and transport to the United States for study - but it was clearly heavily adapted . That does suggest perhaps some of Snyder ’s other ideas will yet find their way into the canon .
