The Teen Titans, also known as the New Teen Titans, or simply the Titans, is a fictional superhero team appearing in comic books published by DC Comics, often in an eponymous monthly series. As the group's name suggests, its membership is usually composed of teenaged superheroes.
The first incarnation of the team unofficially debuted in The Brave and the Bold #54 (1964) as a "junior Justice League" featuring Dick Grayson, Kid Flash (Wally West), and Aqualad, the sidekicks of Justice League members Batman, the Flash, and Aquaman, respectively. The group then made its first appearance under the name "Teen Titans" in The Brave and the Bold #60, joined by Wonder Girl (Donna Troy), the younger sister of Wonder Woman.[1] Green Arrow's sidekick, Speedy (Roy Harper), later took Aqualad's place in the lineup.
While only reaching modest success with its original incarnation, the series became a hit with its 1980s revival,[2][3] under the stewardship of writer Marv Wolfman and artist George Pérez. In 1980, the two relaunched the team as The New Teen Titans, aging the characters to young adulthood. Original members Robin, Wonder Girl, and Kid Flash were joined by new characters Cyborg, Starfire, and Raven, as well as the former Doom Patrol member Beast Boy, now using the name Changeling. The New Teen Titans had several encounters with the original Titans of Greek mythology, particularly Hyperion. The series was retitled Tales of the Teen Titans with issue #41 (April 1984), while a second volume of New Teen Titans launched in August 1984 with a new #1. Pérez left in 1985 to headline the DC Comics 50th Anniversary limited series Crisis on Infinite Earths. Tales of the Teen Titans was canceled in July 1988 with #91. The New Teen Titans Volume 2 was retitled simply The New Titans in December 1988 (issue #50), and was ultimately canceled in February 1996 after 130 issues.
The series was relaunched as Teen Titans in October 1996, with a roster of all-new members under the mentorship of the Atom (Ray Palmer), who had been De-aged to his teenage years; the series ended in September 1998 after 24 issues. A three-issue limited series titled JLA/The Titans: The Technis Imperative (December 1998 – February 1999) led to the March 1999 debut of The Titans, a series featuring select Titans from all of the group's incarnations that ran for 50 issues until April 2003. A new regular series titled Teen Titans began in September 2003, featuring Cyborg, Starfire, Beast Boy, and Raven of the 1980s group joined by new teenaged versions of Robin (Tim Drake), Wonder Girl (Cassie Sandsmark), and Kid Flash (Bart Allen), as well as the Superman clone Superboy (Kon-El). By 2006, the team consisted of only the younger members and some new additions, and a concurrent series titled Titans debuted in April 2008 featuring some of the Titans from the original and 1980s rosters, such as Nightwing, Troia, Flash (Wally West), Tempest, Arsenal, Cyborg, Beast Boy, and Raven.
In September 2011, the Teen Titans franchise was rebooted as part of DC's The New 52 event. The Teen Titans title was relaunched with a brand new team consisting of Red Robin (Tim Drake), Wonder Girl (Cassie Sandsmark), Kid Flash (Bart Allen), Solstice, Superboy, and new members Bunker and Skitter.
A Teen Titans animated television series ran on Cartoon Network from July 2003 to January 2006, based on the 1980s version of the team, but diverging from it in some ways. The television series spawned two related comic book titles, Teen Titans Go! and Tiny Titans. The series returned as a series of mini-shorts on the DC Nation block on Cartoon Network.

Original incarnation[edit]
Robin (Dick Grayson), Kid Flash (Wally West), and Aqualad — the sidekicks of Justice League members Batman, the Flash, and Aquaman — teamed up to defeat a weather-controlling villain known as Mister Twister in The Brave and the Bold #54 (July 1964) by writer Bob Haney and artist Bruno Premiani.[5] They subsequently appeared under the name "Teen Titans" in The Brave and the Bold #60 (July 1965), joined by Wonder Woman's younger sister Wonder Girl (Donna Troy) in her first appearance.[1][6][7] After next being featured in Showcase #59 (December 1965), the Teen Titans were spun off into their own series with Teen Titans #1 (cover-dated February 1966) by Haney and artist Nick Cardy.[8]
The series' original premise revolved around the Teen Titans helping teenagers, answering calls from around the world. Comics historian Les Daniels noted that the title's writer, Bob Haney, "took some ribbing for the writing style that described the Teen Titans as 'the Cool Quartet' or 'the Fab Foursome'. The attempt to reach the youth culture then embracing performers like the Beatles and Bob Dylan impressed some observers as strained."[9] Green Arrow's sidekick Speedy (Roy Harper) makes guest appearances[10][11] before officially joining the team in Teen Titans #19.[12] Aqualad takes a leave of absence from the group in the same issue[12] but makes several later guest appearances,[13][14] sometimes with girlfriend Aquagirl.[15] Neal Adams was called upon to rewrite and redraw a Teen Titans story which had been written by then-newcomers Len Wein and Marv Wolfman. The story, titled "Titans Fit the Battle of Jericho!", would have introduced DC's first African American superhero but was rejected by Publisher Carmine Infantino.[16] The revised story appeared in Teen Titans #20 (March–April 1969). Wolfman and Gil Kane created an origin for Wonder Girl in Teen Titans #22 (July–Aug. 1969) which introduced the character's new costume.[17] Psychic Lilith Clay[18] and Mal Duncan (who possess no superpowers) also join the group.[19] Beast Boy of the Doom Patrol makes a guest appearance seeking membership but was rejected for being too young at the time;[20] existing heroes Hawk and Dove, a duo of teenaged super powered brothers, appear in issue #21;[21] and time-displaced caveman Gnarrk aids the team in two issues.[22][23]
The theme of teenagers learning to take on adult roles and responsibilities was common throughout the series. The series explored then current events such as inner-city racial tension and various protests against the Vietnam War. One storyline beginning in issue #25 (February 1970) saw the Titans deal with the accidental death of a peace activist, leading them to reconsider their methods.[24] As a result, the Teen Titans briefly abandoned their identities to work as ordinary, powerless civilians, but the change was quickly abandoned. Along the way, Aqualad was removed from the series and the character of Mr. Jupiter, who was Lilith's mentor and employer, was introduced and financially backed the Titans for a brief period. The series was canceled with #43 (January–February 1973).[25]
1970s revival[edit]
A few years after its cancellation, the series resumed with issue #44 (November 1976).[26] The stories from the revival included the introduction of the African-American superheroine Bumblebee,[27] the introduction of the "Titans West" team, consisting of a number of other teen heroes including Bat-Girl (Betty Kane) and Golden Eagle,[28] and the introduction of Joker's Daughter in Teen Titans #48. The revival was short-lived, and the series was canceled as of #53 (February 1978), that also told the story of how the Teen Titans were founded.[29] In that story the heroes realized that, now in their early 20s, they had outgrown the "Teen" Titans. In the last panel, without speaking, they go their separate ways.
The title was used again in 1999 for the Teen Titans Annual #1, 1967 issue (ISBN 1-56389-486-6), a one-shot special that reprinted selected Silver Age stories in the 1960s-style 80-Page Giant format, as a companion piece to the original comic book series, had an Annual issue been published at that time.
The New Teen Titans (1980–1996) [edit]
DC Comics Presents #26 introduced a team of new Titans, anchored by founding members Robin, Wonder Girl, and Kid Flash, and soon followed by The New Teen Titans #1 (November 1980). The series, created by writer Marv Wolfman and artist George Pérez, re-introduced the Doom Patrol's Beast Boy as Changeling and introduced the machine man Cyborg, the alien Starfire, and the dark empath Raven.[30] Raven, an expert manipulator, forms the group to fight her demonic father Trigon the Terrible, and the team remains together thereafter as a group of young adult heroes.
Wolfman and Pérez's working relationship quickly evolved to the point where they were plotting the series jointly. Wolfman recalled that "once George moved to the same town I lived in, only five blocks or so away, we usually got together for lunch and would work out a story over the next few hours. In many cases I would then go home and write up a plot based on it, or sometimes George would take the verbal plotting we did and take it from there."[31]
The team's adversaries included Deathstroke the Terminator,[32] a mercenary who takes a contract to kill the Titans to fulfill a job his son had been unable to complete. This led to perhaps the most notable Titans storyline of the era (1984's "The Judas Contract," in Tales of the Teen Titans #42-44 and Teen Titans Annual #3[33]) in which a psychopathic girl named Terra, with the destructive power to manipulate earth and all earth-related materials, infiltrates the Titans in order to destroy them. "The Judas Contract" won the Comics Buyer's Guide Fan Award for "Favorite Comic Book Story" of 1984,[33] and was later reprinted as a standalone trade paperback in 1988.[34] This story also featured Dick Grayson (Robin) adopting the identity of Nightwing,[35] Wally West giving up on his Kid Flash persona and quitting the Titans (which eventually led to him becoming the third Flash), and the introduction of a new member in Jericho, the other son of Deathstroke.
Other notable New Teen Titans stories included "A Day in the Lives...",[36] presenting a day in the team members' personal lives; "Who is Donna Troy?",[37] depicting Robin investigating Wonder Girl's origins; and "We Are Gathered Here Today...",[38] telling the story of Wonder Girl's wedding, a rare superhero wedding in that a fight does not break out.[citation needed] Tales of the New Teen Titans, a four-part limited series by Wolfman and Pérez, was published in 1982, detailing the back-stories of Cyborg, Raven, Changeling, and Starfire.
The New Teen Titans and the Uncanny X-Men[edit]
The New Teen Titans was widely thought of as DC's answer to the increasingly popular Uncanny X-Men from Marvel Comics, as both series featured all-new members and depicted young heroes from disparate backgrounds whose internal conflicts were as integral to the series as was their combat against villains. The two teams met in the 1982 crossover one-shot entitled "Apokolips... Now", which teamed Darkseid, Deathstroke, and Dark Phoenix against both teams. The story was written by Chris Claremont and drawn by Walt Simonson and Terry Austin.[39][40]
The New Teen Titans (vol. 2)[edit]
The New Teen Titans title was relaunched with a new #1 issue in August 1984[41] as part of a new initiative at DC informally referred to as "hardcover/softcover". The New Teen Titans, along with Legion of Super-Heroes and Batman and the Outsiders, were the first and only titles included in this program, where the same stories would be published twice, first in a more expensive edition with higher-quality printing and paper distributed exclusively to comic book specialty stores, then republished a year later in the original low-budget format and distributed to newsstands. The New Teen Titans title was renamed Tales of the Teen Titans (not to be confused with the earlier limited series), while a new concurrently published series named The New Teen Titans (vol. 2) launched with a new #1. After both titles ran new stories for one year, the former book began reprinting the latter's stories for the newsstand, continuing until the "hardcover/softcover" idea was abandoned after Tales of the Teen Titans #91.
Issue #1 of New Teen Titans (vol. 2) created controversy when Dick Grayson and Starfire were depicted in bed together, although it had been established for some time that they were a couple. The initial storyline, "The Terror of Trigon",[42] featuring Raven's demon father attempting to take over Earth, and Raven's own struggle to remain good despite Trigon's evil demonic blood inside her. Pérez left the series after issue #5.[43] José Luis García-López followed Pérez as the title's artist, and Eduardo Barreto contributed a lengthy run after García-López. Paul Levitz scripted and wrote several issues of the Brother Blood saga when Wolfman briefly took a break from the book. Pérez temporarily returned as co-plotter/penciller with issue #50, with the series name being amended to The New Titans, without the "Teen" prefix, as the characters were no longer teenagers.
Issue #50 told a new origin story for Wonder Girl, her link to Wonder Woman having been severed due to retcons created in the aftermath of Crisis on Infinite Earths. Pérez remained as penciller with the book through to issue #55, 57 and 60, while only providing layouts for issues #58-59, and 61, with artist Tom Grummett finishing pencils and Bob McLeod as inker. Pérez remained as inker for the cover art to issues #62-67. He would return for the series final issue with #130 (Feb. 1996) providing cover art. Wolfman and Grummett revitalized the series[44] and introduced a number of new characters and put older characters through radical changes during the few years. Members during this time included Phantasm,[45] Pantha,[46] and Red Star.[47]
Other new members of the team in the latter part of the run included Impulse,[48] Damage,[48] Green Lantern (Kyle Rayner),[49] Supergirl,[50] Rose Wilson,[51] Minion,[52] and Baby Wildebeest. As a result, the group that appeared in the final issue, #130 (February 1996), had little resemblance to the one that anchored DC's line-up in the early 1980s.

Teen Titans Spotlight On[edit]
With the Teen Titans properties rivaling Marvel's X-Men for popularity, another new title was launched in August 1986, this time to focus less on the team itself than on individual Titans, hence "Spotlight".[53] The series aimed to "put the spotlight on individual members of the Teen Titans, one at a time, and let each story dictate how many issues it should run,"[54] most storylines running just a single issue, after the series launched with a two-part focus on Starfire and a four-issue highlighting of Jericho.[53] The series ran for 21 issues, the last issue departing slightly from its aim to highlight individuals, culminating in a "Spotlight" on the 1960s Teen Titans team as a whole (April 1988), although there had previously been an issue focusing on another team, the Brotherhood of Evil.[55]
Team Titans[edit]
The Team Titans were one of 100 groups sent back through time to prevent the birth of Lord Chaos, the son of Donna Troy and Terry Long. Their mission was to kill the pregnant Donna Troy before she could give birth. Mirage, Killowat, Redwing, Terra, Dagon, Prestor Jon, and Battalion made up the team.
Teen Titans (vol. 2, 1996–1998)[edit]
A new Teen Titans series written and penciled by Dan Jurgens began later that year with a new #1 (October 1996), with former New Teen Titans co-creator George Pérez as inker (Pérez would ink the first 15 issues of the series). Atom, who had become a teenager following the events of Zero Hour, leads the brand-new team (of Prysm, Joto, Risk and Argent). With Arsenal becoming a mentor about halfway through the twenty four-issue run, which ended in September 1998.
In an attempt to boost sales, a contest was held in the letter pages to determine who would join the team. Robin (Tim Drake), won the vote, but editors on the Batman titles banned Robin from appearing in the Teen Titans, forcing Jurgens to use Captain Marvel Jr. instead.[citation needed] The inclusion of Captain Marvel Jr. failed to boost sales of the title, which was then canceled.
Titans (1999–2002)[edit]
The team was revived in a three-issue limited series, JLA/Titans: The Technis Imperative,[56] featuring nearly every character who had been a Titan and showcased the return of Cyborg. This limited series led into Titans written by Devin Grayson,[57] starting with Titans Secret Files #1 (March 1999).
This incarnation of the team consisted of a mix of former original Titans, including Nightwing, Troia, Arsenal, Tempest, and the Flash (Wally West), from the original team; Starfire, Cyborg, and Changeling, from the New Teen Titans; Damage from the New Titans (the 1994 series); and Argent from the Teen Titans (the 1996 series). There was one new member, Jesse Quick. This version of the team lasted until issue #50 (2002). The West Coast branch of the team, Titans L.A., appeared once, in the pages of Titans Secret Files #2.
Between the end of Teen Titans and the beginning of Titans, the next generation of young heroes: Superboy, Robin, Impulse, Wonder Girl, Secret, and Arrowette, formed their own team in Young Justice, a series similar to the original Teen Titans. Both series were concluded with the three-issue limited series Titans/Young Justice: Graduation Day, which led into new Teen Titans and Outsiders ongoing series.
Teen Titans (vol. 3, 2003–2011)[edit]
Writer Geoff Johns' Teen Titans series began in 2003,[58] featuring a mix of previous and new members, most of whom had been part of Young Justice. Johns wrote the book for the first forty-five issues before turning it over to Adam Beechen, who wrote the book for a four-issue run from #46 to #49 after Johns' departure. Sean McKeever became the series' next writer and wrote from issue #50 through #71.[59][60] Following McKeever, Bryan Q. Miller wrote issues #72-74. Felicia Henderson took up the helm with issue #75.
The series' original lineup parallels the lineup of Marv Wolfman's New Teen Titans series: veteran members Cyborg, Starfire, and Beast Boy return, joined by younger heroes Robin, Superboy, Wonder Girl, and Kid Flash. Johns had also wanted to use the character Static, (who was then just coming off of the popular animated series Static Shock) as part of the starting roster, but was not permitted to do so due to legal issues.[61] Raven re-joins the team in issue #12, and the new Speedy joins the team in Green Arrow #46, first appearing in the Titans book in issue #21. Starfire left the Teen Titans for the Outsiders. During the "Insiders" crossover with The Outsiders (issues #24–25), Superboy comes under Lex Luthor's control and attacks the team, afterwards taking a leave of absence that ends during Infinite Crisis. The new series sees the team's relocation from the east to the west coast, its headquarters located in San Francisco instead of the traditional New York City location. The new Titans Tower also has a memorial hall with statues of the fallen Titans.
One Year Later: The new Teen Titans[edit]
One year after Infinite Crisis, Robin has returned to the Teen Titans, while Wonder Girl quit to fight the Brotherhood of Evil, Starfire is missing in action after going into space, Raven's whereabouts are unknown, and Beast Boy has left to join the new Doom Patrol along with Bumblebee and Herald (now called Vox). Speedy is on an island with Connor Hawke. Kid Flash has become the fourth Flash. Cyborg was damaged and inactive since his return from space, but 16-year-old genius twins Wendy and Marvin, repaired him, giving him new abilities. New members include Kid Devil and Ravager.
During the lost year, at least 24[62] new short-term members joined the team. Without proper leadership none of the new members are able to work together.
Robin, Kid Devil, and Ravager reform the Teen Titans along with Wonder Girl, Cyborg, Raven, Miss Martian and a resurrected Jericho.[63] Robin tells Wonder Girl that he believes Raven could bring Superboy back to life, as she did with Jericho.[64] Raven reveals that she can not because Conner's soul has moved on.[65] A memorial to Superboy was erected outside Titans Tower. Unknown to the other Titans, Robin has secretly been attempting to re-clone Superboy, with nearly 100 failed attempts.
The Titans face a group calling themselves "Titans East," led by Deathstroke. The team includes Risk, Sun Girl, Batgirl, Kid Crusader, Match, Inertia, Duela Dent, and Enigma.[66] Deathstroke manipulated Titans East by blackmailing Risk, drugging Batgirl and giving Inertia "Velocity 9", a drug which allows super-speed without adverse effects. Robin cures Batgirl and she, along with Duela Dent, allows the Teen Titans to gain the upper hand, and defeat Deathstroke's team.
Soon after, events related to the Countdown story arc affect the Titans. Two members, Duela Dent and Bart Allen are killed. Cyborg leaves the team, Supergirl joins and Blue Beetle is invited to train whenever he wants.
The Titans Tomorrow return, allied with Lex Luthor, to alter the present to fit their future. During the fight, Miss Martian's future self reveals the rationale behind the Sinestro Corps and their war to subjugate the universe. The vision spurs Miss Martian to free Robin, who again confronts his future self, Batman. Cassie intervenes and changes the future by kissing Robin, causing the future versions to fade out. The Titans then join the fight against the Sinestro Corps.
After their encounter with their future selves, Supergirl quits. Cassie and Tim begin a relationship, while Kid Devil pines for Rose. Miss Martian finds that her mind was implanted with a piece of her future demented psyche. Kid Devil is left in Titans Tower alone and throws a massive party for local Titans fans, which leads to him being captured by Dreadbolt.
Later Ravager and the twins are attacked inside the tower by Persuader and Copperhead, who are being directed by the Clock King. Disruptor is sent to capture Miss Martian. Clock King's group is the Terror Titans. He intends to sell his captives to the "Dark Side Club"[67] to fight in the combat arena. M'gann frees Kid Devil from Clock King. Robin, Wonder Girl, and Blue Beetle help defeat the Terror Titans. Following the attack, Kid Devil sets out to capture Shockwave and is helped by Blue Beetle. Although they argue the whole time they eventually stop Shockwave. After the battle Eddie takes the code name Red Devil, along with a new costume. Miss Martian suddenly leaves the team assuring them she'd be back.
After the Batman R.I.P storyline, Robin decides to leave and leaves leadership of the team to Wonder Girl. Red Devil loses his powers after Brother Blood absorbs them. Miss Martian returns with several teen heroes liberated from the Dark Side Club. After proposing membership to several of them, a new team is formed: Wonder Girl, Blue Beetle, and the now powerless Red Devil are joined by Kid Eternity and Static, with Aquagirl, Miss Martian and Bombshell deciding to rejoin the team.[68][69] In Teen Titans #74, Red Devil is killed and Kid Eternity is kidnapped by the Calculator.
During the events of the Blackest Night crossover, a number of dead Titans are resurrected as members of the Black Lantern Corps. With Static, Miss Martian, Blue Beetle, Raven, Bombshell and Aquagirl all have the day off, an emergency team consisting of Donna Troy, Cyborg, Wonder Girl, Starfire, Beast Boy, Kid Flash, and the new Hawk and Dove, is formed to defend the Tower. In the ensuing battle, Hawk is killed after her predecessor Hank Hall tears her heart out.
Starting in the May 2010 issue of Teen Titans, a new back-up feature called The Coven began running. The backup stars Black Alice, Zachary Zatara, and Traci 13.[70]
In #83 Blue Beetle leaves to visit his mother, and is drafted into the new Justice League International during the events of Justice League: Generation Lost. Kid Eternity is revealed to have been beaten to death by the Calculator.
J. T. Krul became the writer with issue #88, and penciller Nicola Scott became the book's artist. The teaser for issue #88 shows a revised Teen Titans line-up consisting of Superboy, Wonder Girl, Raven, Beast Boy, Kid Flash, and Ravager. The Titans undergo this roster change in issue #87, the final issue before Krul's run. Following a mission to an alternate dimension to rescue Raven, the team is splits up. Bombshell and Aquagirl are missing in action, Miss Martian is in a coma, and Static is powerless. Static leaves with Cyborg to go to Cadmus Labs in order to find a way to restore his powers and Miss Martian is taken with them.
Damian Wayne, the current Robin, is announced as a new team member.[71] Robin officially joined the team in issue #89. It was also announced that Static would get his own series.[72] In January 2011, the new Titan Solstice made her debut in the January 2011 Wonder Girl one-shot. She was brought over into the main Teen Titans title following the crossover with the Red Robin series.[73] During the Red Robin crossover, Tim asks the Titans for help in tracking down the Calculator after he tries to kill his friend Tam Fox, which leads to Tim eventually rejoining the team (albeit as Red Robin rather than Robin). Followng this, Damian quits the team.[74]
The book concluded with a three-part storyline spanning from issues 98 to 100, which saw Superboy-Prime returning to destroy the team. A large group of former Titans arrived to assist their comrades, and the series ultimately ended with Prime being trapped in the Source Wall, seemingly for eternity. The remainder of the issue consisted of pieces of artwork showcasing the various Teen Titans who appeared in that incarnation of the title, contributed by various DC artists.

A second ongoing Teen Titans series, titled Titans, launched in April 2008 and was written by Judd Winick.[75] Issue one was drawn by Ian Churchill and Norm Rapmund, issue 2 by Joe Benitez and Victor Llamas. The opening storyline follows the events of the Teen Titans East Special one-shot that was released in November 2007, revealing all of the members of Cyborg's team survived the attack, except Power Boy, dead after being impaled. The team's new line up consists of former New Teen Titans Nightwing, Flash, Donna Troy, Beast Boy, Raven, Cyborg, Red Arrow, and Starfire.[76]
In the first story arc of the series, Trigon makes a series of attacks on every member, former or current, of the Teen Titans, and Trigon has "another child" that, unlike Raven, will assist him in his attack. After reclaiming Titans Island and establishing a headquarters on the East River, Cyborg set out to create an East Coast Titans team. However, during a training session the team was brutally massacred by an unseen evil force. Though Cyborg survived the attack, Titans members past and present were attacked by demonic entities across the globe. Raven, sensing Trigon's presence once again, called upon her former Titans allies to defeat her fiendish father.
After rescuing several Titans and questioning Trigon himself, the Titans learned that Trigon himself was not behind the attacks but rather has three children to prepare his second invasion for him. After investigating potential carriers of his children, the Titans realize the bestial assaults were actually orchestrated by Raven's three grown half brothers — Jacob, Jared, and Jesse. Working together as a team, the Titans thwarted the Sons of Trigon and prevented Trigon's invasion plan. Following this adventure, Raven chose her adopted family over her biological family, Red Arrow decided to join his former teammates (although both he and Flash retain their JLA membership), and the Titans were together as a team once again.
Following this, the team has settled themselves down at Titans Tower (the New York base), where they attempt to recover from recent events. While Dick and Kory attempt to make a decision on where their current relationship will lead, Raven and Beast Boy go out together on a "not-a-date". During this, Raven reveals that since she faced her brothers, she has begun to feel as if she is losing control and slipping back under the thrall of her father's powers. Although Beast Boy rejects the idea, he is unexpectedly blind-sided as Raven gives in to her darker side, under the influence of her half-brother's coaxing. Using her teleporting powers, she and the Sons of Trigon vanish, leaving a distraught Beast Boy behind to warn the others. Using a gem stone that carries Raven's pure essence within it, the Titans manage to free Raven of her father's evil, although there will always be the possibility of it happening again. As a result, Raven leaves each Titan with an amulet that can be used to cleanse any evil influence from her body.
Following this, Jericho, still inhabiting the body of Superboy's clone, Match, arrives, frantically asking for help due to the fact he cannot separate himself from Match's body. The current story features Jericho who has turned renegade again. Shortly after a struggle with Jericho, who it is revealed is under control of the numerous people that he has taken command of over the years, Nightwing resigns from the Titans, due to his new responsibilities in Gotham.
Brightest Day: Titans - Villains for Hire[edit]
At Comic-Con, there was an announcement saying that Cyborg, Donna Troy, and Starfire would leave the team to pursue the JLA. Red Arrow, with his daughter Lian, has already relocated and is no longer involved with the Titans, but there will be a spotlight on him in issue #23 after what happened to him in Justice League: Cry for Justice #5. After a series of spotlight issues[77][78] Final Crisis Aftermath: INK writer-artist creative team Eric Wallace and Fabrizio Fiorentino took over the Titans title. Deathstroke took over the team with Tattooed Man and Cheshire.[79]
One of the new members included a young redhead woman who has the ability to manipulate fire known as Carla Monetti a.k.a Cinder. Osiris, a former member of the Teen Titans during the One Year Later gap, and who had been brought back to life after the events of Blackest Night, was also introduced as a member. In addition, the final issue of the limited series, Justice League: The Rise of Arsenal ended with an advertisement stating that Arsenal's storyline would continue in Titans: Villains for Hire.
The team made its debut in the one-shot, Titans: Villains for Hire, where they are hired to assassinate Ryan Choi (Atom) in his home in Ivy Town. The issue quickly became the subject of controversy due to the violent death of Choi, with allegations of racial insensitivity being leveled at DC over the decision to kill off a relatively high profile Asian character.[80]
Following the one-shot, the team's inaugural storyline involved them being hired to assassinate Lex Luthor following the events of War of the Supermen. This is ultimately revealed to be a ruse set up by Luthor and Deathstroke to draw out the real assassin, a shape-shifter named "Facade", who had apparently killed and impersonated a woman on Luthor's security detail.
Following several adventures, the Titans are confronted by Ray Palmer and the Justice League for their hand in Ryan's murder. The Titans are nearly defeated, but manage to escape thanks to an intervention from the newly resurrected Isis.[81] Following the battle with the Justice League, Titans concluded with a two-part storyline which saw the return of Slade's son, Jericho. The series ended with Arsenal battling Slade for control of the team and the Titans ultimately disbanding and choosing to go their separate ways (and Arsenal taking Jericho under his wing), leaving Slade alone once again.[82]
The New 52 (Teen Titans vol. 4, 2011-present)[edit]
DC Comics relaunched Teen Titans with issue #1 (cover dated November 2011) as part of DC's New 52 event, written by Scott Lobdell with former Justice League of America artist Brett Booth providing interiors. Lobdell has stated a desire to create a more diverse Titans roster, drawing parallels to the non-white teenagers he created during his run on the Generation X title at Marvel Comics. In keeping with that goal, three of the seven Titans are people of color.[83]
The title was relauched with a roster of Red Robin, Kid Flash, Superboy, Wonder Girl, Solstice, and two new characters; Skitter, formerly known as 'Bugg', an African-American girl with insect-themed powers,[84] and Bunker, a Mexican teenager named Miguel Barragan who can create force fields. Miguel is also gay, making him the first homosexual member of the Teen Titans since Hero Cruz, who was a member of the short-lived Titans L.A. team for one issue.[85] Additionally, former Titans Static and Blue Beetle were each given their own titles.[86][87]
In issue #1, an organization called N.O.W.H.E.R.E. seeks to control the young metahumans of Earth. The comic opens with Kid Flash showboating and trying to stop a fire, but ends up making the house explode. Tim Drake, a.k.a. Red Robin, seeks out the metahuman thief known as Wonder Girl, who is attacked by N.O.W.H.E.R.E. Wonder Girl reveals her metahuman powers to Red Robin as they fight N.O.W.H.E.R.E forces. She dislikes the label 'Wonder Girl', and prefers to be called by her real name, Cassie. Meanwhile, Superboy is in a N.O.W.H.E.R.E. test facility scheduled to be released.
In issue #2, Red Robin is bunking at Wonder Girl's home. He isn't sure why the enemy hasn't yet been able to track her down. Red Robin investigates a girl about her metahuman sister, Skitter. The girl has already given information to N.O.W.H.E.R.E. agents. Red Robin locates Skitter, and fights N.O.W.H.E.R.E. metahuman mercenaries in the Los Angeles sewers. Skitter, a metahuman insectoid, subdues the mercenaries, and tries to kill Red Robin. Wonder Girl secretly follows Red Robin into the sewers, and saves him. Red Robin has to find a way to get Skitter out but Wonder Girl refuses to help. She tells Red Robin they are even, and to lose her number.
Meanwhile, Superboy is convinced that he will earn his freedom by bringing in Wonder Girl. And so he studies her battle footage. Kid Flash is locked in a N.O.W.H.E.R.E. cell. He is talking to a kid in another cell named Danny. When Kid Flash escapes, he notices that there is nobody in Danny's cell. But he sees a girl in another cell named Solstice.
In issue #3, Kid Flash rescues Solstice from her cell and together they escape from the N.O.W.H.E.R.E. facility located in the Antarctic. Wonder Girl, disguised as a nurse, infiltrates the Mount Mary General Hospital in Los Angeles to interrogate one of the mercenaries who tried to kill Red Robin and Skitter in the previous issue. Meanwhile, Red Robin is transporting Skitter, who is in her cocoon across the country by train. On the train he encounters another meta-human named Miguel Jose Barragan a.k.a. Bunker. The train makes an unexpected stop in a town inhabited by brain-washed people, Bunker and Red Robin team up to find the source. When Red Robin finds the device he is confronted by a mechanical being named Detritus, who is the creator of the mind control device. Detritus smashes Red Robin's head into the device but lets him go after he erases the memory of them meeting. When Red Robin returns to the train he finds that Skitter has awoken from her cocoon in her human form.
In issue #4, Superboy, currently working for NOWHERE, manages to hunt down and fight Wonder Girl. Also, Kid Flash and Solstice happen to find Red Robin, Bunker, and Skitter at RR's place. Red Robin sees the fight between Superboy and Wonder Girl on the news at Times Square, and decides to lead the team there. The name Teen Titans pops in his mind, and it will be his team's name.

Smallville: Titans[edit]
Bryan Q. Miller creates an Smallville series titled Smallville Titans which features Conner Kent/Superboy, Speedy, Blue Beatle, Miss Martian & Zan and Jayna as studies at Jay Garrick's school for the "gifted."[88]
In other media[edit]
The Superman/Aquaman Hour of Adventure (1967–1968)[edit]
The team's first animated appearance was in Teen Titans segments of the 1967 Filmation series The Superman/Aquaman Hour of Adventure, featuring Speedy, Kid Flash, Wonder Girl, and Aqualad. They are voiced by Pat Harrington, Jr., Tommy Cook, Julie Bennett, and Jerry Dexter.
New Teen Titans (1983)[edit]
In 1983, Hanna-Barbera created an animated version of The New Teen Titans which was ultimately not picked up by ABC.
Anti-drug commercial (1984)[edit]
Wonder Girl, Starfire, Raven, Cyborg, Beast Boy, Kid Flash, and Protector (temporarily replacing Robin) appeared on a 1984 Keebler anti-drug commercial.[89]
Teen Titans (2003–2006)[edit]
A Teen Titans animated series ran on Cartoon Network from July 19, 2003, to January 16, 2006. Drawn in an anime-style based art form, the show featured a 1980s-era lineup composed of Robin, Starfire, Beast Boy, Raven, and Cyborg as teenagers, voiced respectively by Scott Menville, Hynden Walch, Greg Cipes, Tara Strong, and Khary Payton. The series adapted some Wolfman/Pérez storylines (including "The Judas Contract" and "The Terror of Trigon") and featured versions of many other Titans comic book characters, including Aqualad, Speedy, Deathstroke (referred to as "Slade"), Bumblebee, and Terra. However, the show generally followed its own continuity, and did introduce new characters. Each of the five seasons featured a main story arc, as well as many stand-alone episodes. Season 1 focused on Robin's search for the line between right and wrong, tested by the lengths to which he goes in his obsession with Slade. Season 2 is based on "The Judas Contract"; the Titans meet Terra, who is portrayed as a well-meaning but confused girl who repeatedly struggles with self-control. She betrays the Titans for Slade, but later turns on Slade in an attempt to right her wrongs. Season 3 features Cyborg's struggle to appreciate his own humanity despite occupying a body that is mostly robotic. He undergoes numerous ordeals to 'become his own man', including conflicts with Brother Blood and the Hive, as well as temporarily leading the Titans East. Season 4, an adaptation of "The Terror of Trigon", addresses Raven's struggle to take control of her own fate, rather than accept the horrible destiny that she was raised to believe was inevitable. She ushers the demon Trigon into the Titans' dimension, but is supported by her friends and ultimately manages to avert (or rather, undo) the end of the world. In season 5, the Teen Titans come against the "Brotherhood of Evil", composed of almost all the Teen Titans' past enemies. The final few episodes see Beast Boy develop courage and leadership, rallying the remaining teen heroes from around the world and organizing a last-ditch strike on the Brotherhood of Evil. After the show's completion, the movie Teen Titans: Trouble in Tokyo premiered on Kids' WB! on September 16, 2006. There were some indications throughout the show that Robin and Starfire were interested in each other romantically, and they finally kiss at the end of the movie.
The series spawned a related comic book, Teen Titans Go!, and three video games.
Teen Titans: The Judas Contract[edit]
At the San Diego Comic-Con International in 2006, a Judas Contract animated movie was announced. Marv Wolfman and George Pérez, creators of The New Teen Titans, were assigned to work on the direct-to-DVD movie. The film has been cancelled due to a lack of a "broad fanbase appeal", which would have put it ahead of other projects.[90]
Justice League: The New Frontier (2008)[edit]
The Titans appear in a brief background cameo during the closing JFK speech in the 2008 animated film Justice League: The New Frontier.
Young Justice (2010–2013)[edit]
In November 2010, the Young Justice animated television series was launched, featuring teenaged superhero sidekicks who are members of a fictional covert operation team working under the authority of the Justice League. Despite its title, the show is not an adaptation of the Young Justice comic series, but rather, an adaptation of the entire DC Universe with a focus on young superheroes.[91][92]
The television series is based on a cross between the Teen Titans and Young Justice franchises and not an adaptation of solely one or the other,[91] drawing influences from 1960s Teen Titans run and the 1990s Young Justice run in addition to the recent Teen Titans comics.[92] The line-up reflects the variety of sources on which the show is based: Superboy, Dick Grayson as Robin, Wally West as Kid Flash, Miss Martian, Artemis, and Kaldur'ahm as Aqualad. Later in the first season, the team adds Zatanna, Rocket, and Red Arrow to its roster. In the show's second season, the Cassandra Sandsmark version of Wonder Girl, the Tim Drake version of Robin, Beast Boy, the Barbara Gordon version of Batgirl, Bumblebee, the Jamie Reyes version of Blue Beetle and Mal Duncan have joined the team.
DC Nation (2012)[edit]
During the premiere of Green Lantern: The Animated Series on Cartoon Network, it was announced that in 2012 there will be a new block of animation with the Green Lantern and Young Justice shows alongside animated shorts. One of these shorts previewed was a Chibi-version of the Teen Titans using the art style and voice actors of Teen Titans. Formerly known as the New Teen Titans, the principal cast members reprised their roles as the lead Titans.
Teen Titans Go! (2013)[edit]
After a test run with DC Nation's New Teen Titans shorts, a new full-length series called Teen Titans Go! premiered in 2013 on Cartoon Network, with the voice actors from the original Teen Titans animated series reprising their roles. This series takes a humorous look at the Titans' day-to-day lives when they are not fighting crime.
Mad (2010)[edit]
In season 2 of MAD, Cyborg appeared in a contest and in the next episode, the Teen Titans (Robin, Raven, Cyborg, Beast Boy, Starfire, Blue Beetle, Superboy, Kid Flash, Wonder Girl, and Aqualad) get spoofed along with Titanic.
Video games[edit]
- There is a Teen Titans game based on the 2003 animated series, on Game Boy Advance, PlayStation 2, Xbox and GameCube.
- The Teen Titans appear in DC Universe Online.
- Teen Titans members Nightwing (Dick Grayson), Raven, and Cyborg are playable in Injustice: Gods Among Us. In Green Lantern's chapter, they are referenced by the alternate Cyborg and Raven as they torture the alternate Deathstroke where it was mentioned that their fellow Teen Titans members died in Metropolis five years ago. There is also DLC including alternate skins for Cyborg, Raven, and Deathstroke available that are based on their designs for their first appearances in the Teen Titans comic series.
Cultural references[edit]
- In a skit in the Robot Chicken episode "Vegetable Funfest", the animated series Titans (Robin, Starfire, Cyborg, Beast Boy, and Raven) are out-matched by a giant tentacled monster, and they allow two new "heroes" to join their ranks....Beavis and Butt-head. In "They Took My Thumbs", the original Titans line-up (Robin, Wonder Girl, Speedy, Kid Flash, and Aqualad) join their mentors on the Justice League's satellite headquarters for "Bring Your Sidekick to Work Day." Various hijinks ensue like Speedy shooting an arrow from the Justice League satellite and Kid Flash ripping off Wonder Woman's outfit. At the end, the kids are teleported back to Earth only to end up immolated in a lava pit on another planet. The older heroes blame Martian Manhunter (who they suspected of being jealous of them for having sidekicks), but he blames his "invisible sidekick Martian Boyhunter" for the sabotage. As they all jump on Martian Manhunter to beat him up, back at the teleportation console "Martian Boyhunter" materializes, snickering to himself at the mischief he created.

Thanksgiving turkey: Can you cook it frozen?
Can I safely cook a frozen Thanksgiving turkey without thawing it first?
from Katherine Zeratsky, R.D., L.D.
Yes, you can safely cook a frozen Thanksgiving turkey — but with a few restrictions. Keep these factors in mind when cooking a frozen Thanksgiving turkey:
- Cooking method. You can cook the bird in the oven, but don't grill, smoke, microwave or deep-fry a frozen Thanksgiving turkey. Grilling and deep-frying use higher temperatures that will quickly cook and char the bird on the outside but leave the inside undone or only partially cooked, increasing the risk of foodborne illness. Smoking generally uses temperatures that are too low and take too long for the frozen turkey to fully cook, also increasing the risk of food poisoning. Microwaving also isn't a safe option because it cooks a frozen bird unevenly. Oven bags aren't recommended for frozen turkeys because they can be unsafe — at some point you will need to remove the giblets, and contaminated juices may be spilled or scalding steam can burn you.
- Cooking time. It takes longer to cook a frozen Thanksgiving turkey. To determine the approximate cooking time for a frozen Thanksgiving turkey, follow this guideline from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA): Take the recommended cooking time for a thawed Thanksgiving turkey and add 50 percent of that time to the original time. You can find an approximate cooking time either on the turkey's label directions or an online timetable for oven roasting whole turkeys. For example, a Thanksgiving turkey that should take about five hours to roast if already thawed will take about seven hours and 30 minutes to roast if frozen.
- Stuffing. Cooking a stuffed turkey can be tricky, whether frozen or thawed. The stuffing must reach at least 165 degrees Fahrenheit to be safely eaten. The USDA recommends buying a pre-stuffed frozen turkey only if it displays the USDA or state mark of inspection on the packaging, which indicates that the turkey has been processed under controlled conditions. Don't try to thaw a pre-stuffed turkey before cooking. Doing so takes too long and increases the risk of foodborne illness.
- Giblets. A whole Thanksgiving turkey usually has a giblet package tucked inside. It's difficult to remove a giblet package from a fully frozen turkey. So carefully remove the package with tongs or forks when the Thanksgiving turkey has sufficiently defrosted during cooking. Then continue to cook the giblet package separately. If the giblets are wrapped in plastic and the plastic bag melts, harmful chemicals may spread from the plastic into both the turkey and the giblets. If you suspect that a plastic bag has melted inside the turkey, you must discard both the entire turkey and the giblets. If the giblets were paper wrapped before being inserted into the turkey during processing, they can cook safely inside the bird.
- Safety. Remember that roasting time is approximate, so check on your Thanksgiving turkey often as it cooks in the oven to make sure it's reaching a safe temperature. Periodically insert a food thermometer in the innermost part of the turkey thigh and the thickest part of the turkey breast. For safe consumption, roast the entire Thanksgiving turkey — and stuffing — at least to an internal temperature of 165 F.

Most likely seen in an airport near you, or perhaps a hotel. Just a self proclaimed technologist who works in professional audio, audio networking, and dabbles in photography. Still waiting to sell my first print to a non-relative.

Can sine wave break PA speaker?
A sine wave can contain more energy than a musical passage of the same duration. Even with compressed music there is some amount of dynamic range in the music and it is fairly complex. With a sine wave it has no dynamic range and is always moving with no chance to "rest" for lack of a better term. @DrMayhem is correct it is all about the level and the amount of energy that your speakers can handle. Just remember that music peaking at 0VU is less energy than a sine wave peaking at 0VU. So keep the level moderate. |

What is the point of the ethernet plug: SoundCraft Si Compact 32?
You should take a look at hiqnet.harmanpro.com as it has more information. The AKG app is just for microphones, there is also an app for Crown amplifiers. HiQnet allows for the control of all the pieces of a Harman audio system. |
