I refuse to believe ANY character is just people furniture in comics. Sure characters like Cyborg and Kilowog make fine additions to teams, but even Kilowog has had stories where he was the star. The thing with Kilowog, like the Thing over at Marvel, he'll always be attached to his team. They completely took 'Borg from one team where he's been developed for decades and put him into the League. The character's whole foundation is wrong now.
As far as always parading him around with a faceplate.... do you read the comics? One of the things I CAN say is good about the title right now is the art in the latest issue. Anyway... Vic can hide his robotic appearance now and appear human. I think he's even done this in the cartoons [but my first experience with the power was using his Stone alias as a villain].
Also the villain of the current arc, Anomaly, isn't bad. The writer is just really horrible about just describing what a character is feeling or whats going on. It's like reading Cyborg on a horribly scripted Broadway show. And the characters who've been appearing as villains are as horrible as the ones from the cancelled New52 Static series. H8 Bit... seriously? A white female version of Cy called 'Variant'? Man... that's just original as it gets.
EDIT: SPOILERS for the current issue.... but barely anybody's reading it so...
Cyborg's boom tubes have been a little crazy lately and when he finally returns to Detroit he finds out he's been gone for six months. If this series doesn't immediately effect the JL title in SOME way... then Cyborg's title clearly doesn't even matter to DC.
