Mal became Vox after the Gabriel's Horn and Red Tornado went explodey in his face. He never had "powers", in all his superhero identities, he relied on equipment. So in order for Mal to become Vox, Red Tornado has to "die"? No thanks.

Got to wonder why they went with Mal, though. Given his role in the series, Cyborg or a young Michael Holt would have made more sense.
