{{tropelist}}
* [[Ambiguously Jewish]]: Kid Devil, aka Eddie Bloomberg.
Line 50:
** The post-''[[Flashpoint (comics)|Flashpoint]]'' completely erased the Teen Titans from history, per the latest from New York Comic-Con.
* [[Carnival of Killers]]: Chesire debuted as part of one.
* [[Cartwright Curse]]: Starfire's relationships, and all three of her weddings, have ended [https://web.archive.org/web/20071114144519/http://www.titanstower.com/source/whoswho/starfire.html#dis disastrously].
* [[Catgirl]]: The late Pantha
* [[Cerebus Syndrome]]: ...and back. The 1980s were the good kind of "Angst-ridden super-heroes", so much that they (along with the X-Men) pretty much ''defined'' the trope for comic books, but even that got bad after a point. Various other runs have fallen into this as well.
Line 74:
** Jay Faerber complained that he was forced to include a ''new'' team of teenage super-powered kids into the book because the editors wanted to shift the book over to a new, young cast. Eventually they kind of forgot about it as sales dwindled, so the suddenly-introduced kids got phased out at light speed.
** It's speculated that Sean [[Mc Keever]] left the book because of this, specifically the recent death of Kid Devil, one of his favorite characters. This was, according to Dan Didio, done so as the establish the new "death = for realz" policy after Blackest Night, but since he specifically pointed out Kid Devil, it's pretty safe to assume Didio simply doesn't like that character.
*** [https://web.archive.org/web/20120617123412/http://www.comicbloc.com/forums/showpost.php?p=1602290&postcount=27 Confirmed]. He tactfully calls it "creative differences".
** Word has it that Geoff Johns' run had this as well, hence the changes in Bart Allen and Deathstroke.
*** As a whole, it seems that ever since the '90s Titans, executives have been either meddling too much or not enough. Winick's "Titans" is a rarer case of the latter.
Line 86:
* [[Fleeting Demographic Rule]]: Raven goes evil because of her demonic heritage, the team fights a group of evil Titans...
* [[Frankenstein's Monster]]: Young Frankenstein
* [[Give the Villain a Hero's Funeral]]: Happens during ''The Judas Contract'' arc. After Terra dies attempting to bury the Titans in rubble and they deliver her employer-lover Slade Wilson to the cops, they all agree that it's in their best interest that no one knows Terra joined the team specifically to betray them to H.I.V.E. and was pure evil. They give her a Titans funeral with honors. While Raven and Robin conclude that Terra was evil from the start and remain solemn, Beast Boy is in denial, and spends the funeral sobbing over the girl he loved. This has repercussions in a later arc where a villain in the future tries to replicate the exact same plot.
* [[Green-Skinned Space Babe]]: Miss Martian in her Green Martian form, though perhaps a much cuter take.
** As stated previously: ''Starfire'', in the comics. There is a reason Starfire was called "balloon bod" by Terra I. She basically defines [[Most Common Superpower]], [[Ms. Fanservice]], [[Stripperific]] and (due to her [[Lightning Bruiser]] status) [[Boobs of Steel]]. At the very least, she's as fanservice-intensive as, say, Power Girl (if ''marginally'' "smaller"). In the comics. In the cartoon, not so much.
*** Pérez actually [https://web.archive.org/web/20071114144519/http://www.titanstower.com/source/whoswho/starfire.html#dis stated] that her character was meant to exude sexuality.
* [[Half-Human Hybrid]]: Raven
* [[Hand Blast]]: Starfire, as well as her evil sister Blackfire, has this as her main superpower.
