Line 21:
** [[Spiky Hair]]
* [[Badass]]
** [[Badass Normal]]: It’s a contrast to Starfire’s fighting style.
* [[Bad Future]] [[Future Badass|Badass]]: As [[Nightwing]] in "How Long is Forever?"
* [[Battle Couple]]: With Starfire.
Line 43:
* [[The Leader]]
* [[Love At First Punch]]: When he and Starfire first met, she beat him up and ''then'' kissed him.
* [[Opposites Attract]]: While he and Starfire are a lot alike, he is a human and Starfire is an alien.
* [[Not Himself]]: When he has visions of Slade and starts acting like a psycho.
* [[Not So Different]]: Both Starfire and himself are deeply compassionate individuals. And they both fight with their fists.
* {{spoiler|[[Reverse Mole]]: In the season one finale, after Slade [[Face Heel Turn|recruits him as his apprentice]] [[Sadistic Choice|in exchange for his friends' lives.]]}}
* [[Savvy Guy, Energetic Girl]]: Savvy Guy to Starfire's Energetic Girl.
Line 91 ⟶ 93:
* [[Dangerously-Short Skirt]]: A miniskirt, specifically, but trying to get a peek ''will'' result in a [[Curb Stomp Battle]].
* [[Dark-Skinned Redhead]]
* [[Ditzy Genius]]: She may be naive, but she’s also pretty smart. She can even curb stomp Cyborg (who’s pretty smart herself), just as Cyborg can curb stomp Beast Boy. Though ironically enough, she would probably lose to Beast Boy due to his unpredictability.
* [[Does Not Know Her Own Strength]]: On occasion, as seen whenever she hugs someone too hard.
* [[Eloquent in My Native Tongue]]
Line 102 ⟶ 105:
* [[Funny Foreigner]]
* [[Gainaxing]]: Once or twice, actually!
* [[Genki Girl]]: Justified; all that emotional energy is the source of her super powers. 'Joy' for [[Flight]], 'confidence' for super strength, and general perkiness.
* [[Glomp]]: Hands these out quite readily.
* [[Good Is Not Dumb]]: She’s the first one to realize that something is wrong with Mother Mae-Eye.
* [[Girly Girl With A Tomboy Streak]]: She has saved Robin more than once.
* [[Granola Girl]]: Justified, as this is probably the most common thinking on Tamaran.
* [[Green Eyed Red Head]]
* [[The Heart]]: ''How Long Is Forever?'' establishes that she's the emotional crutch holding the team together.
* [[Hot Amazon]]: According to Robin, some of the things he likes the most about Starfire are "the way you shoot starbolts, that you're brave, and the strongest girl ever." Robin is brave and strong himself, but it’s still understandable.
* [[Incorruptible Pure Pureness]]: Sadly, the same cannot be said for her sister. She’s more or less the person keeping the team together though.
* [[Like Brother and Sister]]: She has this dynamic with Beast Boy and Cyborg. She’s silly like Beast Boy and smart like Cyborg.
* [[Magic Kiss]]: Her ability to learn new languages.
* [[Magic Skirt]]
Line 114 ⟶ 121:
* [[Muscles Are Meaningless]]: She's a ''lot'' stronger than she looks.
** [[Glacier Waif]]: Tougher too.
* [[Not So Different]]: The fact that’s fully memorized a poem that has 6000 verses shows that she’s as smart as Robin himself if no smarter.
* [[Not So Similar]]: Starfire and Blackfire seem to be the same at first, but Blackfire turns out to be an outlaw, while Starfire is firmly on the side of good. This is a contrast to her relationship with Raven, basically.
* [[Omniglot]]: She can learn any language by a kissing a speaker of it. By extension, this makes her [[The Face]] when they go somewhere that doesn't speak english.
* [[Opposites Attract]]: While they have a lot in common, Starfire is more energetic than Robin himself is. And she’s more naive.
* [[Pair the Smart Ones]]: Both Robin and Starfire are highly intelligent, even if Starfire is naive.
* [[Panty Shot]]: In the beginning of "Sisters."
* [[Pardon My Klingon|Pardon My Tamaranian]]: For a girl who is supposed to be [[The Ingenue|sweet and innocent]], she uses Tamaranian swears frequently.
Line 121 ⟶ 132:
* [[Proud Warrior Race Girl]]
* [[Puberty Superpower]]: Eye-beams.
* [[Redheaded Hero]]ine: She’s usually calm, though.
* [[Savvy Guy, Energetic Girl]]: Energetic Girl to Robin's Savvy Guy. The two have a lot in common, but this is one difference they have.
* [[Sibling Yin-Yang]]: With Blackfire.
* [[Spock Speak]]: A rare version in that she does not speak this way due to a fascination with logic/science, but as a sign of her relative inexperience with Earth languages.
** She's also [[Everything's Better with Princesses|royalty]], so it's not unlikely that she's used to speaking formally.
* [[Thigh-High Boots]]: Just like her comic book counterpart, but with a different design.
* [[Tomboy and Girly Girl]]: Girly Girl to Raven's Tomboy. Though she does have a tomboyish streak.
* [[Trademark Favorite Food]]: Mustard. It's her favorite ''drink''.
* [[Unresolved Sexual Tension]]: A ''lot'' with Robin. {{spoiler|They finally get together in the movie.}}
Line 165 ⟶ 176:
* [[Cute Little Fang]]
* [[Cute Shotaro Boy]]
* {{spoiler|[[Did Not Get the Girl]]}}: Not Terra, at least.
* [[Dogged Nice Guy]]: Towards Terra. He’s also one of these to Raven, though it’s averted occasionally.
* [[Everything's Better with Dinosaurs]]
* [[Embarrassing First Name]]: It's {{spoiler|Garfield.}}
* [[Foil]]: He’s a contrast to Robin and Raven’s serious personalities, as he is silly. It isn’t wrong to consider both himself and Raven to be funny though.
* [[Four-Temperament Ensemble]]: The Sanguine (Shares this with Starfire).
* [[Genre Savvy]]: He spends his free time playing games and watching tv shows like this one. It saved the day once against Control Freak.
Line 179 ⟶ 191:
* [[Let's Get Dangerous]]: Since he can't speak while shifted (unlike in the comics), it comes across that when he's in his animal forms, the jokes are over and he means business. And by "business" we mean kicking your ass.
* [[The Movie Buff]]
* [[Must Make Her Laugh]]: Towards Raven. It’s shown that she legitimately cares about BB despite finding him annoying sometimes.
* [[My God, What Have I Done?]]: Though understandably emotional, he makes the grave error of giving Terra a [[
* [[Not So Different]]: Both he and Raven have troubled pasts, though Beast Boy’s father did love him.
** Additionally, Raven is named after an animal.
** Both have a sense of humor, though Raven’s is slightly different.
** Both Raven and himself considered hazing Cyborg to be fun.
** And it’s not wrong to consider them both cute, if not together.
** His relationship with Terra isn’t too different from the relationship Raven once had with Malchior.
* [[Plucky Comic Relief]]
* [[Pointy Ears]]: Chicks dig 'em. Or at least they do in Japan.
Line 228 ⟶ 246:
* [[Creepy Monotone]]: Though not as creepy as Slade's monotone.
* [[Curtains Match the Window]]
* [[Daddy’s Girl]]: Averted, she turns on her so-called father once she realizes that she means nothing to him outside of allowing him to come to Earth.
* [[Dangerous Sixteenth Birthday]]: And we do stress ''danger''.
* [[Dark Is Not Evil]]: She dresses dark and her power are tinted black and she's half demon, but she's not evil.
Line 258 ⟶ 277:
* [[Nightmare Fetishist]]
* [[New Powers as the Plot Demands]]: Her list of one-off powers is quite extensive. As are all the times they would have come in handy had she remembered she had them.
* [[Not So Different]]: Raven's snarkery tends to be about as funny as Beast Boy's actively joking is.
** Also, they both love pizza.
** Both Raven and Beast Boy can be respectful towards others, as the page quote shows.
** And on the subject of BB, Raven is named after an animal.
* [[Not So Similar]]: She and Malchior turn out to be this. While they both seem to have a lot in common at first, it turns out that Malchior is a manipulative monster (literally) that was only using Raven to get what he wants.
* [[No Periods, Period]]: See ''[[Teen Titans: Trouble in Tokyo]]''.
* [[Perpetual Frowner]]
Line 313 ⟶ 337:
* [[Fake Defector]]: Turns out Cyborg is resistant to [[Mind Control]].
* [[Four-Temperament Ensemble]]: Alternates between Choleric and Melancholic.
* [[Genius Bruiser]]: He can be curb stomped by Starfire though…since it’s been shown more than once that she’s pretty smart herself. And she’s even stronger.
* [[Good Thing You Can Heal]]: He sustains more graphic damage than any of the other Titans partly because of this and partly because said damage is arguably G-rated due to his mechanical nature. He is also the only Titan to suffer realistic dismemberment.
* [[Heroic RROD]]: Happens on more than one occasion.
Line 320 ⟶ 344:
* [[I Just Want to Be Normal]]: As mentioned above, becoming a cyborg put the kabosh on a normal childhood and he misses the chance. Seen best when he infiltrated the H.I.V.E.
* [[The Lancer]]: He's taller, darker, and [[Hot-Blooded]] to contrast Robin's serious-as-a-heartattack demeanor. He's also the [[Number Two]].
* [[Logical Weakness]]: It’s likely that part of the reason that his evil counterpart lost to Starfire is because unlike himself, she can fly.
* [[Make Me Wanna Shout]]: His main weapons are his sonic cannons.
* [[Number Two]]: Though it's never officially stated, Cyborg is often considered the second in command of the team, and is always the first to take the lead when Robin is MIA or unable to take the lead. Starfire can also be considered as such, however.
* [[Team Chef]]
* [[Telescoping Robot]]
* [[Watch the Paint Job]]: He loves his Cy-car.
* [[The Worf Effect]]: It can be considered a bit humorous when Starfire wipes the floor with his evil counterpart.
== Titans East ==
Line 441 ⟶ 466:
* [[Action Girl]]/[[Dark Action Girl]]
* [[Anti-Hero]]: [[Sliding Scale of Anti-Heroes|Type IV]]... On her good days.
* [[Anti-Villain]]: Type II. Though she does start to act like Slade after a while.
* {{spoiler|[[Back
* [[Bare Your Midriff]]
* [[Becoming the Mask]]: Despite her betrayal, she really felt at home with the team.
* [[Big Eater]]
* [[Birds of a Feather]]: She ended up bonding with Beast Boy for this reason. But it wasn’t meant to be.
* [[Blondes Are Evil]]: Subverted. Not quite evil, but very misunderstood and paranoid.
* [[Blue Eyes]]
Line 458 ⟶ 484:
* [[Does This Remind You of Anything?]]: A lot of Terra's behavior (fear of intimacy, inability to settle down, paranoia, self-destructive tendencies, exaggerated startle response, desperate yearning for approval from a mentor figure that she ''knows'' will hurt her) are all very reminiscent of children who grew up in abusive households (especially sexually abusive ones). This puts the revelation that Terra and Slade were sexually intimate in the comics in a whole new perspective...
* [[Hair of Gold]]
* [[Heel Face Revolving Door]]: She started off good, had a [[Face Heel Turn]], had a semi [[Heel Face Turn]] that [[
* [[Heroic Sacrifice]]
* {{spoiler|[[I Just Want to Be Normal]]}}: It’s implied she succeeded.
* [[Meaningful Name]]: "terra" means "earth".
* [[The Mole]]
Line 469 ⟶ 495:
* [[Peek-a-Bangs]]
* [[Power Incontinence]]: Why she's broken and paranoid; she can't control her powers.
* [[Redemption Equals Death]]: Or maybe not?
* [[Save the Day Turn Away]]: Played with. Whether she remembers anything or not, Terra would rather not be acknowleged as a villain or hero. {{spoiler|High School is more her style.}}
* [[Secret Legacy]]: Formerly Princess Tara of Markovia.
Line 476 ⟶ 502:
* [[Taken for Granite]]
* {{spoiler|[[That Man Is Dead]]}}
* [[Tomboy]]: She's got no problems with [[
* [[Took a Level in Jerkass]]: Once she recieves a [[
* [[Witch with a Capital B]]: Drops an [[Precision F-Strike|poignant W-bomb]] while fighting Raven.
* [[We Used to Be Friends]]: With the Titans.
Line 546 ⟶ 572:
* [[Knight of Cerebus]]: Things are ''never'' light or fluffy when Slade's around. ''Never''.
* [[Manipulative Bastard]]
* [[Mind Rape]]: Especially to Raven when he comes [[Back
* [[Mind Screw]]: [[Break Them by Talking]], [[Mind Rape]], [[Manipulative Bastard|manipulation]], it's all there. And ''boy'', do Robin and {{spoiler|Terra}} bite the bait.
* [[No Sense of Personal Space]]: Best seen in his interactions with Raven.
Line 559 ⟶ 585:
** To be honest, there are also a few instances where that eye of his widens or when he loses his cool.
* [[Warrior Therapist]]: Slade is the master of the evil version.
* [[You Have Failed Me...]]: Played straight with his treatment of Terra. Averted with his treatment of Jinx, Gizmo, and Mammoth.
=== Trigon the Terrible ===
Line 582 ⟶ 608:
* [[Evil Plan]]: Use his daughter to enter "the world of mortals" and lay waste to it.
* [[Evil Sounds Deep]]
* [[God of Evil]]: The name Trigon the Terrible didn’t come out of nowhere.
* [[Manipulative Bastard]]: So good that he was able to dupe ''Slade'' into thinking that he was being sincere. However, as it turned out, [[Crazy Prepared|Slade had second guesses.]]
* [[Nigh Invulnerable]]
* [[Not So Invincible After All]]: After he enters the [[Teen Titans (animation)|Teen Titans]]' world from his world. He only lasts three episodes before Raven kills him.
* [[Obviously Evil]]: He is a giant demon, after all.
* [[Omnicidal Maniac]]
* [[The Other Darrin]]: When he first debuted as a mental manifestation of Raven's anger, he was voiced by Keith Szarabajka. Later, in Season Four, he was voiced by [[Kevin Michael Richardson]].
Line 669 ⟶ 695:
* [[Evil Counterpart]]: To Cyborg, in practice and Beast Boy in personality.
* [[For Science!]]
* [[
* [[Monochromatic Eyes]]
* [[The Other Darrin]]: Most of his appearances were voiced by [[Lauren Tom]], though his last two appearances were voiced by [[Tara Strong]]
Line 745 ⟶ 771:
* [[Canon Foreigner]]
* [[Early-Bird Cameo]]
* [[Evil Counterpart]]: He bears similarities to Raven.
* [[Intangible Man]]: The selective variation.
* [[The Speechless]]
Line 937 ⟶ 964:
* [[Batman Cold Open]] (has come out on the recieving end of a couple of these)
* [[Chew Toy]]: Off all the villains he gets the most comic abuse.
* [[Foil]]: He’s one of these to Raven. Raven is a hero with power over darkness, he’s a villain with power over light.
* [[Harmless Villain]]: His threat level is considerably lower than other villains.
** [[Not So Harmless]]: Proved that he wasn't so harmless in "Kole", there he totally pwned Robin. Even in his first appearence, he pwned the whole Titans but he didn't count on Raven's demonic powers.
* [[Name's the Same]]: He did ''not'' create [[Mega Man (video game)|Mega Man]].
* [[Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain]]: It’s possible to feel sorry for him given what Raven once did to him.
* [[Light Is Not Good]]: His weapons are variations of lasers.
* [[Light'Em Up]]
* [[Large Ham]]
* [[Mad Scientist]]
* [[Too Dumb to Live]]: He makes a flashy attack an oil platform ''the Titans can see from their home''. He may be a [[Gadgeteer Genius]] with very powerful tech, but as Robin points out, when it comes to tactics he's just [[Incredibly Lame Pun|not very bright]].
* [[Took a Level
* [[Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?|Why Did It Have To Be Raven]]: She can make him blue streaked and quivering with a word.
Line 969 ⟶ 997:
* [[Half Human Hybrids]]: If Killer Moth's appearance isn't solely from a costume, then Kitten, though she doesn't look it in the slightest. Also, Fang has a [[Giant Spider]] for a head.
* [[Interspecies Romance]]: If you don't count ''Trouble In Tokyo'', Kitten and Fang (though nobody can be completely sure on what either of them actually are) are the only characters in the show who kiss onscreen. [[Squick|And yeah]].
* [[Pet the Dog]]: Kitten may be a spoiled child, but she at least doesn’t date people on their looks alone.
* [[Mad Scientist]]: Killer Moth, again.
* [[Outlaw Couple]]: Kitten and Fang are seen together in a cameo in "Revved Up". Since Kitten had already given villainy a shot, well...
* [[Spoiled Brat]]: Kitten, again.
* [[Took a Level
* [[What Happened to the Mouse?]]: So, what ''happened'' to Kitten after "Calling All Titans"? She's not with the other villains at the Brain's HQ afterward.
* [[Whip It Good]]: Kitten's aforementioned whip.
Line 1,003 ⟶ 1,032:
* [[Badass Grandpa]]: Averted, Mod is only a physical threat when he can suck out someone else's youth; everything else he does turns out to be either the result of machines he controls or purely fake.
* [[A Day
* [[Disco Dan]]: "Mods" haven't been in fashion since the 1970s.
* [[Evil Brit]]: Played to the hilt for comedy purposes.
