Primary Teen Titans

edit

Robin

edit
Main article: Robin (character)

Robin is the leader of the Teen Titans. Despite lacking superpowers, he is fierce and highly disciplined, with heroic virtues based on experience and reputation. As shown in the episode "Go",[1] Robin formed the group after aiding Starfire in her escape from captivity with help from Beast Boy, Cyborg, and Raven. Prior to this, he left his mentor Batman in an effort to become an independent crime-fighter. The Teen Titans Go! spin-off comic reveals he is Dick Grayson, the first Robin, but this is not shown in the show. In the future, he becomes Nightwing. Robin is best friends with Starfire, whom he secretly has romantic feelings for. Their relationship develops throughout the show, with them becoming a couple in the finale film Teen Titans: Trouble in Tokyo.

Starfire

edit
Main article: Starfire (Teen Titans)

Starfire (as translated into English) is a humanoid alien from the planet Tamaran. The episode "Betrothed"[2] reveals her real name is Princess Koriand'r. As shown in the episode "Go",[1] Starfire arrived on Earth while escaping captivity from Trogaar, an alien overlord who intended to sell her into slavery. She created mass havoc on an Earth city to break free, which attracted the attention of Robin, Beast Boy, and Cyborg. Raven later appeared to convince them to settle the dispute peacefully, and from there the five became friends. After dispatching the alien invaders, Starfire chose to stay on Earth with her newfound friends. She is also Robin’s love interest, and they secretly harbor romantic feelings for each other; they confess their love and become a couple in Trouble in Tokyo.

Raven

edit
Main article: Raven (DC Comics)

Raven is usually depicted with a neutral expression on her face and is somewhat of a stereotypical goth. She has pale skin, violet-blue eyes, and a bob cut hairstyle, with a mystical stone in the middle of her forehead, and wears a blue hooded shroud and a black leotard with a belt. She is shrouded in mystery from her debut, with little known about her and her past, and she is emotionally distant even from her fellow Titans. It is later discovered that this is intentional, due to the secrets she hides.

Raven's main powers are her flight, mastery of magic, and telekinetic and psychokinetic abilities, with her mind empowering her to levitate objects by surrounding them in dark mystical energy. She often activates this ability through the incantation "Azarath Metrion Zinthos", allowing her to use her powers in many ways. Raven is also a master of extrasensory perception, able to sense and read the minds of others.

Beast Boy

edit
Main article: Beast Boy

Beast Boy is a teenager with green skin, fangs, and dark green hair and eyes. He has the ability to shapeshift into any animal and gain their abilities. He was formerly a member of the Doom Patrol until he left to become a solo superhero, and during Lord Trogaar's pursuit of Starfire, he found himself joining the Teen Titans. His early training under the tutelage of the Doom Patrol was highly disciplined and militarized, leading him to initially address more experienced heroes as "Sir". Over time, he would become less serious and act as the comic relief of the Teen Titans, which frequently annoys his teammates. The two-part episode "Homecoming"[3][4] reveals his name to be Garfield.

Cyborg

edit
Main article: Cyborg (DC Comics)

Cyborg was once human, but became a cyborg following an unspecified "accident" that caused most of his body to be replaced with cybernetic implants. His condition is virtually impossible to disguise, though he initially attempts to do so by covering much of his body with heavy clothing and a hood. His neighborhood fell under attack after Starfire appeared on Earth, as shown in the episode "Go",[1] and as such, he came to the aid of Robin and Beast Boy while fighting her. He is skilled with technology and is Robin's second-in-command and Beast Boy's best friend.

Terra

edit
Main article: Terra (character)

Terra debuts in the episode bearing her name,[5] and is a super-powered teenage girl with pale blonde hair and blue eyes. She has terrakinetic abilities and is able to telekinetically control the earth, often preferring to use rocks and boulders as projectiles and as a means of travel. She lives a nomadic lifestyle in the wilderness, eventually coming to settle in the coastal hometown where the Teen Titans operate.

Terra quickly bonds with the team upon meeting then, leading to them offering her to become their newest member. Her bond is strongest with Beast Boy, with whom she has a complicated romantic relationship. He is the first to discover that she struggles to control her powers, but swears to not reveal this to anyone. During a confrontation with Slade, he reveals that he had been stalking her for years and knows her lack of control over her powers had caused natural disasters across the globe, thereby explaining why Terra never stays in one place for too long. Convinced that the Titans would shun her once this knowledge becomes public, Slade offers to train her in using her abilities before he escapes capture. Robin later deduces Terra's instability, and—incorrectly believing that Beast Boy had revealed their secret—she leaves the Titans and disappears.

In "Titan Rising," Terra reunites with the Titans, now with more control over her powers, and earns their trust after helping to save their home.[6] However, Slade's forces later launch a surprise attack on the Titans Tower, while Terra spends a night out with Beast Boy. Having followed the two, Slade reveals that Terra had become his new apprentice and was acting as a double agent to sabotage the team since her return. A heartbroken Beast Boy spurns her apologies, fueling a hate-filled Terra to decimate the team in part 1 of "Aftershock".[7] In part 2, the Titans regroup to retake the besieged city, leading to Slade attacking her after she is forced to retreat. With Slade controlling her body through her battle suit, she finds herself unable to leave and fights the Titans against her will. With help from Beast Boy and the other Titans, she regains control of her powers and triggers an underground volcano that kills Slade; however, the volcano rages out of control, and to prevent it from destroying the city above ground, she sacrifices herself to stop it from erupting, turning to stone as a result. The Titans pay tribute to her with a memorial plaque, which reads "Terra—A Teen Titan, A True Friend".[8]

In the series finale, "Things Change", following the Titans' return home after their battle with the Brotherhood of Evil, they battle a shapeshifting white monster; while pursuing it, Beast Boy notices a girl resembling Terra standing amongst the crowd of onlooking civilians. After he discovers Terra's statue is missing, he believes she was somehow revived while they were away. He tracks her down only to find she apparently has no memory of the Titans and has no apparent superpowers. She is never addressed as "Terra" by anyone other than Beast Boy, while the name that others refer her is unknown. At the episode's end, she explains to Beast Boy that even if she is indeed the Terra he once knew, she wants to lead a normal life and convinces him to move on. Whether she truly is Terra is unrevealed.[9]

Teen Titans Go!

edit

In an issue of the Teen Titans comic book following the events of the series' final episode, Geo-Force — Terra's superhero half-brother — appears and reveals that he and Terra are members of the Markovian royal family who fled their home nation after being subjected to forced experimentation with a fictitious chemical called Quixium that gave them earth-manipulating superpowers. Geo-Force is later convinced to allow Terra to live without her superpowers in peace and leaves without reuniting with her.

As she reveals in a staged fight with Cyborg, she is unable to fall under Brother Blood's influence. She later becomes a founding member of Titans East, convincing Cyborg to become the team's leader; this turns out to be an elaborate trap staged by Blood when she falls back under his control.

Melvin, Timmy, Teether, and Bobby

edit

Melvin, Timmy, and Teether are a trio of pre-adolescent children targeted by the Brotherhood of Evil for their fledgling superpowers. They first appear in "Hide and Seek".[19]

Melvin, the only girl in the group and the eldest of the three, has the ability to mentally spawn a giant animated teddy bear named Bobby. Timmy (the second oldest) throws temper tantrums which induce earthquakes and sonic booms, and Teether (the baby) can eat matter and spit it out like bullets. Raven is assigned to protect them from Monsieur Mallah, who is hunting them down on the Brotherhood's behalf, but the children and Bobby manage to take him down. As a reward, they are made Honorary Titans.

Bobby is Melvin's "imaginary friend", a giant teddy bear that she can physically manifest from her mind. He is able to turn invisible, which he primarily uses to hide from people he fears or does not trust. As a result, Raven did not believe he existed for most of the episode.

They wreak havoc on the city in which the Teen Titans live; Beast Boy later deduces that the duo is not evil, but rather misunderstood—they display their destructive powers in acts that they perceive as innocent fun, and battle the Titans on occasion, seeing the challenge as mere roughhousing. Slade, in the guise of an old Asian shaman, later manipulates them into creating a fire creature; however, the two learn the error of their ways thanks to Beast Boy, and go on to become heroes allied with the Titans.

He enters the Titans' dimension to help fix Robin's broken arm, but fails to do so. He breaks his own finger during a scuffle with Robin as he keeps insisting on helping him; as a result, his reality-warping power is unleashed upon the city, changing it first into an embodiment of a child-drawn picture, and later into a dark, demonic domain when Johnny Rancid seizes the power for himself. After Larry's finger is repaired and reality is brought back to normal, he returns to his own dimension, but not before Robin offers him the chance to fix his broken arm one last time. He succeeds, but accidentally leaves Robin stranded in a blank, white space in the process.

Academy in the first season, who commissions the services of her top graduates Gizmo, Jinx, and Mammoth out to the top bidder, who turns out to be Slade, in the episode "Final Exam".[29] Slade then hires the H.I.V.E. trio to defeat the Teen Titans, which they succeed in doing until the Titans later regroup to defeat them. She tells Slade that she will "discipline" them after they are retrieved from the authorities, only for Slade to reveal that he never expected her team to succeed in their mission—only in "delivering the message" that he exists and is watching them.
