Terry Long (who Lilith's prophecy ended up actually referencing). She mentioned that something terrible had happened to Gnarrk, who was not with her at the wedding but would not elaborate. She soon began to be stalked by a mysterious winged creature called Azrael, who sought to make her his mate. However, every time he came near Lilith, she glowed with a previously unseen power. Her fellow Titans blamed Azrael for hurting her and attacked him every chance they got. After revealing to her teammates that she had similar "heat attacks" long before Azrael appeared, she resigned from the Titans in anger. During the Terror of Trigon storyline (The New Teen Titans (vol. 2) #1–6), Lilith returned to the team as she had become secretly possessed by Azar and sought to get the Titans to help tracking down Raven, who had gone missing.

The Titans, along with the Amazons, Greek Gods, and the other Titans of Myth, freed Lilith and defeated Thia, who had launched a brutal assault on Olympus and those who followed the Greek Gods. During the battle, Thia's brother and husband, Hyperion sacrificed his life to kill Thia. Afterward, Lilith was offered demigod status by Zeus and a place on Olympus, which she accepted. Post-Crisis After the Crisis on Infinite Earths, Lilith was not heard from for a time; however, the mythological Titans (including Thia) showed up in The New Titans #50–54 as a benevolent pantheon and adoptive parents of Donna Troy.
