In 1996, riding high on the [[Grant Morrison]] relaunch of the [[Justice League of America]], DC Comics attempted to relaunch ''[[Teen Titans (Comic Book)|Teen Titans]]'' yet again. It failed miserably, in large part due to massive amounts of [[Executive Meddling]]. Most notably, the fact that NO''no ONEone'' wanted to let the 1996 Teen Titans writer Dan Jurgens use any of the major teen heroes running around DC at the time (particularly Robin III—Tim Drake, who actually WON''won'' a fan contest to select a new member of the team—only for the Batman editors to refuse to honor the contest results, resulting in Captain Marvel Jr. being forced upon Jurgens instead.) The lack of "Teen" in the "Titans" didn't help, either.
 
Cancelled in 1998, DC decided to launch a new replacement book; but since the Jurgens Titans series was pretty much universally reviled, it was decided to instead come up with a new name for the new teen book. Meanwhile, Robin's popularity was matched by two other teenage [[Legacy Character]]s: [[The Flash|Impulse]] and [[The Death of Superman|the Post-Crisis Superboy]]—and the trio worked as a [[PowerCosmic Forces Trio]]. Hence, "'''''Young Justice"''''' was born.
 
Launched out of a [[Fifth Week Event]] tie-in "Girlfrenzy: Young Justice -- The Secret" and a Justice League mini-series "World Without Grown-Ups", the series was written by [[Peter David]] and ran for 55 issues before being canceled. The cancellation (along with cancellation of another Titans comic that was launched in 1999) of course was done mainly to launch a ''new'' ''Teen Titans'' comic to complement the recently debuted ''[[Teen Titans (animation)|Teen Titans]]'' cartoon series, placing the remaining members of Young Justice under the wing of veterans from the classic Wolfman Titans team.
