Teen Titans (Comic Book)/Characters

The members of the comic book version of the Titans, past and present, and their worst enemies. See here for the characters in the animated version.

Aqualad / Tempest
"AKA: Garth Abilities: Aquatic adaptation, super-strength, telepathy, super-senses, sorcery, water manipulation"

See the Aquaman character sheet for more info

Kid Flash I / The Flash III
"AKA: Wally West Abilities: Super-speed"

Robin I / Nightwing
"AKA: Dick Grayson Abilities: Martial arts master, detective skills, acrobatics"

Speedy / Arsenal / Red Arrow
"AKA: Roy Harper Abilities: Master archer and gunslinger"


 * Artificial Limb: After Prometheus hacked his right arm off, Cyborg designed him a new one. However, this prosthetic isn't permanent, as Roy's right arm is still infected with the flesh-eating bacteria Prometheus laced his blade with. It's designed to "work around the nerve endings". It also causes him great pain to use it, impairs his ability as an archer drastically, and he can't wear anything over it unless it's his costume. It's also a total eyesore.
 * The Casanova
 * The Complainer Is Always Wrong: At Lian's funeral, Roy practically strangled Mia and blamed her for Lian's death. The majority of Rise of Arsenal seemed to be everyone coddling Mia Deardren and blaming Roy for Lian's death, even though A. Mia was supposed to be watching Lian and left her alone to fight the Electrocutioner, and B. Star City's destruction was a freak accident.
 * Doting Parent: He may have hired nannies from time to time, but he was REALLY good at being a single parent.
 * Heroic BSOD: Following his arm being hacked off and Lian getting killed.
 * Hot Dad
 * Jerk with a Heart of Gold
 * Never Live It Down: His heroin abuse, which was only present for one issue and then followed by him going cold turkey. It doesn't help that following Lian's death he's gone back to using it.
 * Papa Wolf: To Lian, obviously, one of the most adorable and well-adjusted kids in comic book history. Despite requiring nannies from time to time, he never deprived her of love and attention and the two have had an amazingly adorable and loving relationship. What makes this so amazing is that Roy didn't have to sacrifice his brash personality, and just goes to show that he was a better father than his mentor Green Arrow could have ever hoped to be.
 * Big Brother Mentor: Also showed this to younger teammate Damage. He nominated Grant for membership during Titans to make it up to him for how things went when Roy led the Titans. He acted as a big brother figure to the younger Titan, and thanks to Roy (and Lian), Grant was able to admit his foster father had abused him so badly when he was younger. Roy was willing to help Grant because he remembered what his teenage years were like and how often he was left to his own devices, and wasn't about to do the same.
 * Real Men Wear Pink: He's every bit the lady's man his former mentor is, if not more so, and he can be brash and a bit of a jerk. That doesn't stop him from having scenes with his daughter that manage to redefine the word "adorable".
 * Wound That Will Not Heal: His right arm is said to be infected with dormant flesh-eating bacteria called "nanomites" which were laced in Prometheus' blade. It's for this reason that he was given a removable prosthetic meant to work "around" his nerve endings.

Wonder Girl / Troia
"AKA: Donna Troy Abilities: Super-strength, flight, heightened reflexes"

See the Wonder Woman character sheet for more.

Aquagirl
"AKA: Tula Abilities: Aquatic adaptation, super-strength, super-senses"

The Joker's Daughter / Harlequin
"AKA: Duela Dent Abilities: Acrobatics, clown-themed gadgets"


 * Luke, I Am Your Father: Duela claimed she was the daughter of multiple super-villains. Pre-Crisis it was believed she was Two-Face's daughter, until it was revealed that she was too old to be his child. Following Infinite Crisis, it was revealed that Duela comes from Earth-3, and is the daughter of the Jokester (a heroic version of the Joker), Three-Face ( a heroic, female version of Two-Face) and the stepdaughter of a heroic Riddler.
 * Plot-Relevant Age-Up: A subversion. When she returned during Donna Troy's wedding, she was significantly older (and heavier), to further support that she wasn't Two-Face's daughter. Following Crisis on Infinite Earths, her next appearance was in a mental institution, where her memories as a Titan were met with skepticism because of how old she was. During her next few appearances she was much younger. See What Could Have Been below.
 * Redheaded Hero: Originally, her hair was green when in costume, and brown when in her civilian identity. A few years ago she began sporting red hair.
 * Sexy Jester
 * Stuffed Into the Fridge: Her death was what started Countdown to Final Crisis.
 * What Could Have Been: Her reappearance in Team Titans was meant to reveal that she was a member of the team who'd been driven insane by time travel. In the back of one of the final issues during Zero Hour there was a mock preview for a story involving Duela getting her hands on a reality warping device and using it to turn New York into what it had been during the 1970s.

Lilith / Omen
"AKA: Lilith Clay Abilities: Precognition, telepathy, teleportation"


 * C-List Fodder
 * Darker and Edgier: Her transition to Omen. However, this was to play up the mystery of her character and the evolution of her psychic abilities to mystical powers. She never once turned into an anti-hero.
 * Luke, I Am Your Father: Pre-Crisis, her birth mother turned out to be Thia of the Titans of Myth. Post-Crisis, the identity of Lilith's father turned out to be Loren Jupiter, the man who financed the Titans. Her mother has not yet been revealed. Lilith's stated that her psychic abilities were inherited from her mother, and that she's very secretive. Word of God from Dan Jurgens has it that Lilith's mom is a preexisting DC character.
 * Redheaded Hero
 * Stuffed in The Fridge: Graduation Day. The characters in story made a bigger deal of Donna Troy's death then her's. It can be argued that her death was what began the thread of mutilation and death being more closely associated with the Teen Titans.

Baby Wildebeest
"Abilities: Super-strength"


 * C-List Fodder
 * Stuffed in The Fridge: Died alongside his adopted mother Pantha to serve as character development for his father-figure Red Star. Character development that never happened beyond a single issue of Teen Titans.

"AKA: Garfield Logan Abilities: Animal shapeshifting"


 * Amazing Technicolor Population: Always has green skin; that is, till the New 52 reboot, now he has red skin.
 * Animorphism (Including magical and mythological monsters)
 * Berserk Button: Raven being in danger is his.
 * Big Brother Mentor: At least he tries to be.
 * Boxing Lessons for Superman: Apparently, just watching Animal Planet allows him to discover new animal forms and the inherent powers they possess.
 * The Chew Toy
 * Curtains Match the Window
 * Dark and Troubled Past: Excessively even by super hero standards.
 * Deadpan Snarker
 * Depending on the Artist: The prominence of his features like Pointy Ears and Cute Little Fangs and whether or not he is a barefooter has clawed hands and Hellish Pupils varies with each artist who draws him. How old he looks is also frequently changed, oftentimes looking as young as Bart rather then his actual age.
 * Eyes of Gold: Will sometimes get these when angry.
 * Heterosexual Life Partners: With Cyborg.
 * I Just Want to Be Special: He is very attached to his super powers.
 * Impossibly Tacky Clothes: His only decent costume was even phased out for one more like his original costume.
 * Loveable Sex Maniac: Bow-howdy! In his earliest appearances, he threw himself at nearly anything female. In fact, the second issue of The New Teen Titans has him intentionally inviting the team for a swim in his pool just to trick Donna Troy and Starfire into the skimpiest bikinis he could find.
 * Sad Clown
 * Shonen Upgrade: His ability to transform into magical monsters.
 * Vague Age
 * Primal Stance
 * Will They or Won't They?: With Raven.
 * Official Couple: Settles on this just before the reboot too.
 * Willfully Weak: It is heavily implied multiple times that he restrains himself from shifting into magical and mythological creatures out of fear of losing control of himself. Fittingly since he killed his Trigon spawned Evil Twin in cold blood when pushed to far by turning into an Eldritch Abomination and crushing him between his hands and Madame Rouge by accident when transformed into a chimera.
 * You Fight Like a Cow

 * Ambiguously Jewish
 * Adorkable
 * Ascended Fanboy
 * Big Red Devil
 * Cute Monster Boy
 * Genius Ditz: He did make a power suit when he was twelve.

 * Hero Worshipper: To Blue Devil originally.
 * Horned Humanoid

Kid Eternity
"AKA: Christopher Freeman Abilities: Ability to call back the deceased and transform into them."

 * Voluntary Shapeshifting
 * Telepath

Osiris
"AKA: Amon Tomaz"


 * Did Not Do the Research: Eric Wallace wrote The Power of Shazam issue for Blackest Night, detailing Amon rising as a Black Lantern, yet somehow in control and managing to not kill anyone. The problem is that, in Blackest Night #3, a video screen in JLA headquarters featured Amon killing people, their torn hearts in their hands. Could be seen as a case of Canon Discontinuity, depending on whether or not Wallace actually read, or paid attention, to the issues of Blackest Night.
 * Ignored Epiphany: In a sense. After being revived as a Black Lantern, Amon was somehow in control of his mind and body, and managed to pull a heroic sacrifice stopping Black Lantern Sobek. Then he came back from the dead and helped killed Ryan Choi.
 * Moral Event Horizon: Killing the Persuader was an accident. He tried justifying the death of Ryan Choi and everyone else he's killed as trying to bring his sister and Black Adam back. But now he freely admits that he enjoys violence and is just as bad as everyone accused him of being.

Robin / Red Robin
"AKA: Tim Drake"

Solstice
"AKA: Kiran Abilities: Light Manipulation, Flight"


 * Broken Bird: Kiran mentions that while she was N.O.W.H.E.R.E.'s prisoner she was forced to do horrible things in order to survive.
 * Dark Is Not Evil: In the reboot continuity, Kiran's powers have somehow shifted and caused her to look as if she's made up of smoke and charcoal. Fans referred to her as "Charcoal Girl" and assumed she was a completely different character until they found out she was Solstice.

 * Boisterous Bruiser
 * Camp Gay: Only slightly.
 * Incorruptible Pure Pureness: In the most recent issue, a villain named Grymm tries to take control of one of the Titans. He tries to take hold of Miguel's mind, but he can't because he says Miguel is "too happy and centered."
 * Nice Guy
 * Positive Discrimination: Miguel is an openly homosexual Mexican Catholic who comes from a family and a village that was nothing but supportive of both him and his powers. He's the happiest and most competently functioning of the current Titans team.

Skitter
"AKA: Celine"

Danny the Street
"AKA: N/A"


 * Genius Loci: He ain't called Danny the Street for nothin'.

Flamebird

Cheshire
"AKA: Jade Nguyen"


 * Asian Baby Mama: So nice she did it twice: once with Arsenal, and once with Catman.
 * Foe Yay: With both Roy Harper, the first Speedy, and Thomas Blake, aka Catman. She once propositioned Catman during a battle, not long after having hired two hit squads after him.
 * Mama Bear: And not just to people trying to hurt her kids. She once staged an elaborate plot to ruin and murder Black Canary because Canary had developed into a psuedo-surrogate mother figure for her daughter.
 * Well, at least until their safety proves more of a burden and a liability. At which point she'll go out of her way to conceive a replacement kid, and use that pregnancy as a shield.
 * Evil Matriarch: To be fair, staging an elaborate plot to murder the women whom is her daughter's surrogate mother-figure doesn't necessarily make her a Mama Bear. Cheshire was espousing that she had plans to retire, and getting Black Canary out of the way would've made things less complicated for her.
 * You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: In Villains United, she was blackmailed into compliance by threats against Lian's safety. Over the course of the miniseries she successfully seduced Catman and managed to conceive a replacement baby in order to betray and leave the Secret Six with Lian's welfare no longer being an issue (that she cared about). It turned out the threat was false, but she didn't know that.

Clock King
"AKA: Temple Fugate"


 * The Chessmaster
 * You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: Has a habit of murdering people who he doesn't have a use for, regardless if they're his minions.

Deathstroke the Terminator
"AKA: Slade Wilson"


 * Arch Enemy: The Titans have gone through tons of Big Bads, and let's face it, Slade isn't the biggest or baddest. But he is the most persistent and most personal enemy the team has ever faced.
 * Badass Normal: If anyone in The DCU gives Batman a run for his money, it's Slade Wilson.
 * Badass Abnormal: Sort of. Technically he has just above the human limit of physical strength, speed, and agility, and possesess a healing factor, the intensity of which depends on the author of the comic. Nonethless, he's still basically human, especially compared to the usual durability and strength of many DC superhumans. He can be beaten by a sufficiently trained normal human (frequently Nightwing in the early stories he appears), and he's weaker then even the least strong DC hero with superhuman strength, with his primary weapon being his brillaint strategic mind.
 * Breakout Character: Slade had his own ongoing series in The Dark Age of Comic Books, and is currently headlining the Titans book.
 * Combat Pragmatist
 * Eyepatch of Power
 * Depending on the Writer: Does he care for his children or are they his pawns? Is he really evil or just in it for the money? It all depends on who is writing him.
 * 90% of Your Brain
 * Punch Clock Villain
 * Super Soldier
 * Sword and Gun

 * Hype Aversion: It's hard to take a "Darkseid level threat" seriously when his plans are transparently idiotic.
 * Gladiator Games: His scheme to make an army of meta humans he could control.
 * Set Right What Once Went Wrong: With round about murder and fear domination.
 * Show, Don't Tell: His main problem. He is said to be an expert schemer and manipulator, but his core plan for recruitment (kidnapping metahumans, forcing them into a Deadly Games battle royal to determine the 'best', which he then makes his private army) is, well--look at it! And no one notices how bad this plan is.
 * Villain with Good Publicity: He wants his organization to be this. he himself looks like the Grim Reaper if he appeared in Tron.
