Teen Titans (animation)/Characters: Difference between revisions

* [[The Hero]]

* [[Heroes Want Redheads]]

* [[The Leader]]

* [[Love At First Punch]]: When he and Starfire first met, she beat him up and ''then'' kissed him.

* [[Not Himself]]: When he has visions of Slade and starts acting like a psycho.

* {{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.]]}}

* [[Screaming Warrior]]

* [[She Is Not My Girlfriend]]: With Starfire.

Starfire is a strange mixture of personality traits; most of the time, she acts quite gentle and demure, possibly due to expectations of Earth culture and desire to better assimilate in her adopted home, but when the need arises she can be as much the fearsome warrior as any of her comrades. Starfire is deeply fascinated by Earth and enjoys learning new things... perhaps partially because it gives her an excuse to get closer to her leader.

 

 

* [[Action Girl]]

* [[Cuddle Bug]]

* [[Cute Bruiser]]

* [[Dark-Skinned Redhead]]

* [[Does Not Know Her Own Strength]]: On occasion, as seen whenever she hugs someone too hard.

* [[Magic Kiss]]: Her ability to learn new languages.

* [[Magic Skirt]]

* [[Most Common Superpower]]

* [[Muscles Are Meaningless]]: She's a ''lot'' stronger than she looks.

* [[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.

* [[Power Strain Blackout]]: In her introductory arc.

* [[Proud Warrior Race Girl]]

* [[Puberty Superpower]]: Eye-beams.

* [[Redheaded Hero|Redheaded Heroine]]

* [[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.

* [[Tomboy and Girly Girl]]: Girly Girl to Raven's Tomboy.

* [[Trademark Favorite Food]]: Mustard. It's her favorite ''drink''.

* [[Beware the Nice Ones]]: Especially if you're a member of the Brotherhood. In fact, as goofy and playful as he is, he still manages to be effective.

** He was able to take on ''Slade'' single-handedly when [[Unstoppable Rage|sufficiently enraged]]. Never cross a guy who can turn into the most dangerous animals ever to walk the earth at will.

* [[The Big Guy]]: Subversion. He's the shortest and skinniest member on the team, but he often relies on brute force.

* [[Brainwashed]]: Whilst the other four core members have also fallen victim to this special mention goes to Beast Boy who tends to fall victim to it more often and far more easily, which in itself became a [[Running Gag]] in the first Mad Mod episode.

* [[Sad Clown]]: Sometimes.

* [[Sidekick Glass Ceiling]]

* [[Slap Slap Kiss]]: Sort of, with Raven. It's more like "Slap Slap Support" and "Slap Slap Commiserate."

* {{spoiler|[[Spanner in The Works]]: Pretty much single handedly foils the Brotherhood after they drove the Titans to the brink of destruction}}.

* [[Anti-Anti-Christ]]: Her dad wants her to help him end the world. She said 'no'.

* [[Anti-Hero]]: [[Sliding Scale of Anti-Heroes|Type III]].

* [[Apocalypse Maiden]]: "The gem was born of evil's fire. The gem shall be his portal. He comes to claim; he comes to sire, the end of all things mortal." She's the gem.

* [[Badass]]

* [[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.

* [[Perpetual Frowner]]

* [[Platonic Life Partners]]: With Robin.

* [[The Quiet One]]

* [[Rei Ayanami Expy]]: Quiet? Check. Pale? Check. Created by her dad to cause an apocalypse? Check.

** Arella, however, was seen again in the story ''Red Raven'', when Raven sought her advice in a restored Azarath.

* [[Screw Destiny]]: She eventually arrives here.

{{quote| '''Voiced by''': [[Khary Payton]]}}

* [[Heroic RROD]]: Happens on more than one occasion.

* [[Hollywood Cyborg]]

* [[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.

* [[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.

* [[Motor Mouth|Motor Mouths]]

* [[Single-Minded Twins]]

* [[Twin Telepathy]]: Slightly complicated example. Although Pantha attributes Más' ability to sense Menos to being a "Twin" thing, Más actually explains that it is a result of a magnetic connection that gets stronger with proximity.

* [[Noble Demon]]: During the later half of Season 4.

* [[Pick On Someone Your Own Size]]: With Robin, Terra and Raven.

** Also occurs in that he literally comes back as a servant of Trigon.

* [[Smug Snake]]: In the first two seasons, though he's still very threatening and ''tries'' to learn from his mistakes.

* [[Physical God]]

* [[Satan]]

* [[Smug Super]]

* [[Pick On Someone Your Own Size]]

* [[Psychic Powers]]

=== Monsieur Mallah ===

* [[Bratty Teenage Daughter]]: Kitten to Killer Moth.

* [[Daddy's Little Villain]]: Kitten doesn't surpass her father in ambition, but in conniving and [[Jerkass]]-ness. This is a girl who came up with an elaborate scheme putting the entire city in danger of being eaten alive by giant bugs to get her boyfriend to take her back.

* [[Giant Spider]]: Fang. His face is one, at least.

* [[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.
