Over the decades, DC has cancelled and relaunchedTeen Titansmany times, and a variety of characters have been featured heroes in its pages. Significant early additions to the initial quartet of Titans wereSpeedy (Roy Harper),Aquagirl (Tula),Bumblebee (Karen Beecher),Hawk (Hank Hall),Dove (Don Hall),Harlequin (Duela Dent),and three non-costumed heroes: boxerMal Duncan,psychicLilith,and cavemanGnarrk.The series would not become a genuine hit until its 1980s revival asThe New Teen Titansunder writerMarv Wolfmanand artistGeorge Pérez.[2][3]This run depicted the original Titans now as young adults and introduced new charactersCyborg (Victor Stone),Starfire (Koriand'r),andRaven (Rachel Roth),as well as the formerDoom PatrolmemberBeast Boy (Garfield Logan)under his new alias of Changeling, who would all become enduring fan favorites. A high point for the series both critically and commercially was its "The Judas Contract"storyline, in which the Teen Titans are betrayed by their teammateTerra (Tara Markov).
The 1990s featured a Teen Titans team composed entirely of new members before the previous members returned in the seriesTitans,which ran from the late 1990s to the early 2000s. Subsequent stories in the 2000s introduced a radically different Teen Titans team made up of newer DC Comics sidekicks such asRobin III (Tim Drake),Wonder Girl II (Cassie Sandsmark),andImpulse / Kid Flash II (Bart Allen),as well asSuperboy (Kon-El),some of whom had previously featured in the similar titleYoung Justice.Later prominent additions from this era includedMiss Martian (M'gann M'orzz),Ravager (Rose Wilson),Supergirl (Kara Zor-El),Kid Devil,andBlue Beetle III (Jaime Reyes).Concurrently, DC also publishedTitans,which featured some of the original and 1980s members now as adults, led by Dick Grayson in his adult persona ofNightwing.DC'sThe New 52reboot in 2011 later brought new characters to the founding roster, includingSolstice (Kiran Singh),Bunker (Miguel Jose Barragan),and Skitter (Celine Patterson), although this volume proved commercially and critically disappointing for DC.
In 2016, DC used theTitans HuntandDC Rebirthstorylines to re-establish the group's original founding members and history, reuniting these classic heroes as the Titans, while introducing a new generation of Teen Titans led byRobin V (Damian Wayne)withAqualad II (Jackson Hyde)andKid Flash III (Wallace West)as the team's latest members alongside team mainstays Starfire, Raven and Beast Boy. The Titans team from DC Rebirth were composed of Nightwing (Dick Grayson),The Flash III (Wally West),Wonder Girl (Donna Troy),Tempest (Garth),Arsenal (Roy Harper),Omen (Lilith Clay)and Bumblebee (Karen Beecher).
After the events ofJustice League: No Justice,Damian Wayne and Wallace West would remain in the Teen Titans while the newest three members (replacing Beast Boy, Starfire and Raven) that join the team are:Red Arrow (Emiko Queen),half-sister ofGreen Arrowand daughter of the assassinShado;Crush, the daughter of intergalactic bounty hunterLobo;Roundhouse, a metahuman with the ability of transforming into a fireball; Djinn, a powerful 4,000 years old genie.
The Teen Titans have been adapted to other media numerous times, such as in the animated television seriesTeen TitansandTeen Titans Go!,and the live-action television seriesTitans.Within DC Comics, the Teen Titans have been an influential group of characters taking prominent roles in all of the publisher's major company-wide crossover stories. Many villains who face the Titans have since taken on a larger role within the publisher's fictional universe, such as the assassinDeathstroke,the supervillain teamsFearsome FiveandBrotherhood of Evil(archenemies of the Doom Patrol), the demonTrigon,the alien villainBlackfire (DC Comics),the cultist zealotBrother Bloodand the evil organizationH.I.V.E..

Original incarnation
editRobin (Dick Grayson), Kid Flash (Wally West) and Aqualad (Garth) team up to defeat a weather-controlling villain known asMister TwisterinThe Brave and the Bold#54 (July 1964) by writerBob Haneyand artistBruno Premiani.[5]They appeared under the name "Teen Titans" inThe Brave and the Bold#60 (July 1965), joined by Wonder Woman's younger sister Wonder Girl (Donna Troy).[Note 1][6]After being featured inShowcase#59 (December 1965), the Teen Titans were spun off into their own series withTeen Titans#1 by Haney and artistNick Cardy.[7]
The series' original premise had the Teen Titans helping teenagers and answering calls. Comics historianLes Danielsnoted that 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 likeThe BeatlesandBob Dylanimpressed some observers. "[8]Green Arrow's sidekick Speedy makes guest appearances[9][10]before officially joining the team inTeen Titans#19.[11]Aqualad takes a leave of absence from the group in the same issue,[11]but makes several later guest appearances,[12][13]sometimes with girlfriendAquagirl.[14]Neal Adamswas called upon to rewrite and redraw aTeen Titansstory which had been written byLen WeinandMarv Wolfman.The story, titled "Titans Fit the Battle of Jericho!", would have introduced DC's firstAfrican Americansuperhero, but was rejected by publisherCarmine Infantino.[15]The revised story appeared inTeen Titans#20 (March–April 1969). Wolfman andGil Kanecreated an origin for Wonder Girl inTeen Titans#22 (July–Aug. 1969) and introduced her new costume.[16]PsychicLilith Clay[17]andMal Duncanalso join the group.[18]Beast Boyof theDoom Patrolmakes a guest appearance seeking membership, but was rejected as too young at the time;[19]existing heroesHawk and Dove,a duo of teenaged superpowered brothers, appear in issue #21;[20]and time-displacedcavemanGnarrkaids the team in two issues.[21][22]
The series explored events such as inner-city racial tension and protests against theVietnam 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.[23]As a result, the Teen Titans briefly abandoned their identities to work as ordinary civilians, but the effort was quickly abandoned. Along the way, Aqualad left the series and the character of Mr. Jupiter, who was Lilith's mentor and employer, was introduced. He financially backed the Titans for a brief period. The series was canceled with #43 (January–February 1973).[24]
1970s revival
edit
The series resumed with issue #44 (November 1976).[25]The stories included the introductions of African American superheroineBumblebeeand former supervillainess-turned-superheroineHarlequinin issue #48[26]and the introduction of the "Teen Titans West" team in issues #50–52 consisting of a number of other teen heroes, includingBat-Girl(Betty Kane) andGolden Eagle.[27]The revival was short-lived and the series was cancelled as of issue #53 (February 1978), which featured an origin story.[28]At the end, the heroes realized that, now that they were in their early 20s, they had outgrown the name the "Teen" Titans. In the last panel, without speaking, they all go their separate ways.
The title appeared again in 1999 forGiant Teen Titans Annual#1 (1967) (ISBN1-56389-486-6), a one-shot special that reprinted selectedSilver Agestories in the 1960s-style80-Page Giantformat.

DC Comics Presents#26 (October 1980)introduceda new team of Titans, anchored by Robin, Wonder Girl, and Kid Flash and soon followed byThe New Teen Titans#1 (November 1980). The series, created by writer Marv Wolfman and artistGeorge Pérez,re-introduced Beast Boy as Changeling and introduced the machine man Cyborg, the alien Starfire, and the darkempathRaven.[29]Raven, an expert manipulator, forms the group to fight her demonic fatherTrigon the Terribleand the team remains together.
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."[30]
The team's adversaries includedDeathstroke the Terminator,[31]amercenarywho 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",inTales of the Teen Titans#42–44 andTales of the Teen Titans Annual#3,[32]featured a psychopathic girl namedTerrawith the power to manipulate Earth and all Earth-related materials. She infiltrates the Titans in order to destroy them. "The Judas Contract" won theComics Buyer's Guide Fan Awardfor "Favorite Comic Book Story" of 1984[32]and was later reprinted as a standalonetrade paperbackin 1988.[33]Robin adopts the identity ofNightwing,[34]while Wally West gives up his Kid Flash persona and quits the Titans. It also featured the introduction of a new member inJericho,Deathstroke's other son.
Other notableNew Teen Titansstories included "A Day in the Lives...",[35]presenting a day in the team members' personal lives; "Who is Donna Troy?",[36]depicting Robin investigating Wonder Girl's origins; and "We Are Gathered Here Today...", telling the story of Wonder Girl's wedding.[37]Tales of the New Teen Titans,a four-part limited series by Wolfman and Pérez, was published in 1982, detailing theback-storiesof Cyborg, Raven, Changeling, and Starfire. Wolfman wrote a series ofNew Teen Titansdrug awareness comic books which were published in cooperation with The President's Drug Awareness Campaign in 1983–1984. The first was pencilled by Pérez and sponsored by theKeebler Company,[38]the second was illustrated byRoss Andruand underwritten by theAmerican Soft Drink Industry,[39]and the third was drawn byAdrian Gonzalesand financed byIBM.[40][41]
The New Teen Titans(vol. 2)
editTheNew Teen Titansrelaunched with a new #1 issue in August 1984[42]as part of a new initiative at DC informally referred to as "hardcover/softcover".The New Teen Titansalong withLegion of Super-HeroesandBatman and the Outsiderswere the first and only titles included in this program. The same stories were 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 format, distributed to newsstands. The title was renamedTales of the Teen Titanswith issue #41, while a new concurrently published series namedThe New Teen Titans(vol. 2) launched with a new #1 following the release ofTales of the Teen Titans#44 andAnnual#3, the conclusion of the "Judas Contract" storyline. After both titles ran new stories for one year, withTales of the Teen Titans#45–58 taking place prior to the events ofThe New Teen Titans(vol. 2) #1, and a filler issue reprinting a digest-only story and the original preview story fromDC Comics Presents#26, the series began reprinting the first 31 issues of the "hardcover" series (sans several back-up stories focusing on Tamaran that ran inNew Teen Titans#14–18), the firstAnnual,and the lead story from the secondAnnual,before being cancelled with issue #91.
Issue #1 ofThe New Teen Titans(vol. 2) created controversy when 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",[43]featured Raven's demon father attempting to take over Earth and Raven's own struggle to remain good despite Trigon's demonic blood inside her. Pérez left the series after issue #5.[44]José Luis García-Lópezfollowed Pérez as the title's artist andEduardo Barretofollowed García-López.Paul Levitzscripted or fully wrote issues #28–33 to give Wolfman time to catch up on his writing after he fell behind by taking onCrisis on Infinite EarthsandHistory of the DC Universe.[45]
Name changed toThe New Titans
editPérez temporarily returned with issue #50, when the series took the nameThe New Titanswithout 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 toretconscreated in the aftermath ofCrisis on Infinite Earths.Pérez sketched through issues #55, 57 and 60, while only providing layouts for issues #58–59 and 61, with artistTom Grummettfinishing pencils andBob McLeodas inker. Pérez remained as cover inker to issues #62–67. He would return for the series finale #130 (Feb. 1996) providing cover art. Issues #60 and #61 were part of a five-part crossover with Batman, "A Lonely Place of Dying" and along with issue #65, featured the debut of Tim Drake as the third Robin.
The brief return of Perez and the addition of Tom Grummett failed to move sales for the book, which were starting to decline. Furthermore, the addition ofDanny Chase(a teenage psychic) drew negative fan response due to his abusive attitude towards the rest of the team. Believing Wolfman had grown stagnant, DC assigned Wolfman a new editor, Jonathan Peterson, and gave Peterson authority to override Wolfman over the direction of the book.
With Peterson controlling the book's direction, the series was rapidly overhauled. TheWildebeest,a villain who used proxies and surrogates to hide his true identity while ve xing the Titans, was expanded to a full army of villains called theWildebeest Societyand revealed to be a front for the remaining members of the supervillain group theH.I.V.E.The group fell under the control of Titan Jericho, who in turn was being possessed by the corrupted souls of Azarath. During the "Titans Hunt" storyline that followed (#71–84), Cyborg was destroyed and rebuilt, along with being lobotomized; Danny Chase and Arella (Raven's mother) were killed and resurrected as thegestaltbeing Phantasm (an identity created by Chase early in the series); while Raven, Jericho, and obscure Titans allyGolden Eaglewere killed. New characterPantha(based on plans for a female Wildcat character Wolfman conceived in the mid-'80s) joined the team, along with Deathstroke and Red Star. Deathstroke was also given his own solo book and the team received its first crossover tie-in sinceMillennium,withThe New Titans#81 being part of the "War of the Gods" storyline.
Peterson also saw the launch ofTeam Titans,which featured a new genetically modified (and heroic) doppelganger of Terra and Donna Troy, who was depowered in the "Total Chaos" crossover. Peterson left the book before "Total Chaos" concluded, leaving Wolfman to deal with the fallout from Peterson's editorially mandated storylines, including the final break-up between Starfire and Nightwing as a couple, the return of Speedy as Arsenal, and the resurrection of Raven as a villain.
FollowingZero Hour: Crisis in Time!,the series saw a revamp: Nightwing was removed from the series by Batman editorial and a roster of new young heroes such asDamageand Impulse were inserted into the team to try and renew interest, along with Team Titan survivors Mirage and Terra II. New Green LanternKyle Raynerwas also brought onto the title and given a prominent romance with Donna Troy, whose marriage with Terry Long had collapsed in the pages ofTeam Titansbefore the book's cancellation. Sales saw a collapse and despite several crossovers with other books (Damage,Green Lantern,Darkstars,andDeathstroke), the series was cancelled with issue #130. The series finale saw the return of Blackfire as an ally, as the Titans purged Raven of evil once again to prevent Raven and the revived Citadel Empire from reconquering the Vega star system.
The New Teen Titansand theUncanny X-Men
editThe New Teen Titanswas widely thought of as DC's answer to the increasingly popularUncanny X-MenfromMarvel 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 1982crossoverone-shot entitled "Apokolips... Now", which teamedDarkseid,Deathstroke andDark Phoenixagainst both teams. The story was written byChris Claremontand drawn byWalt SimonsonandTerry Austin.[46][47]
New Titans: Games
editIn 1989, Marv Wolfman and George Perez began planning a prestige format special, their first work together on the franchise since Perez left afterThe New Teen Titans(vol. 2) #5. The project was put on hold when it was decided instead to have Perez return to the main book as artist and for their first project back together to be "Who Is Wonder Girl?" instead.
Over the course of 1989 and 1990, George Perez and Marv Wolfman continued to work onGameswith over half the project being completed. But the ascension of Jonathan Peterson as editor of the series, and Perez moving off of New Titans in order to work onThe Infinity Gauntletfor Marvel led to the book being shelved.
In the early '00s, Marv Wolfman and George Perez approached DC about completing the book as a stand-alone graphic novel. The book was completed in 2010 and published in 2011.
The plot had the New Titans be forced by King Faraday to go after a mysterious mastermind who forces his victims to play deadly "games" for his amusement. In the interim, Wolfman had rewritten the plot (most notably, changing the original ending where Nightwing personally executes the main villain of the series after his "games" result in the death of longtime Titan ally Sarah Simms and the maiming of Danny Chase) though retained several key details (the death of Simms and Chase losing his hands) and several additional twists (the introduction of a previously unknown sibling of Raven, the revelation that the main villain was a schizophrenic King Faraday, and the destruction of Titan Tower) that make it impossible to fit into canon, reducing it to an alternate universe side story in Teen Titans lore.
Teen Titans Spotlight
editDue to fan backlash over the hardcover/softcover move to the direct market with the main title, a new newsstand Titans book was launched in August 1986 calledTeen Titans Spotlight.The series was an anthology series and featured individual members of the Titans in solo stories, often spanning multiple issues. The series also focused on former members of the group (such as Hawk and Aqualad) and the Brotherhood of Evil, detailing the formation of the second version of the group. As the move to the direct market effectively limitedThe New Teen Titansability to be part of company-wide crossovers, two issues ofSpotlighttied into theMillenniumcrossover event, with the second issue being the coda for the event.
The series failed to catch on and was cancelled in 1988, along withTales of the Teen Titans.
Team Titans
editTheTeam Titanswere one of 100 groups sent back through time to prevent the birth ofLord Chaos,the son of Donna Troy and Terry Long. Their mission was to kill the pregnant Troy before she could give birth.Mirage,Killowat,Redwing,Terra,Nightrider,Prestor JonandBattalionmade up the team.
Teen Titans(vol. 2) (1996–1998)
edit
Teen Titanswas written and penciled byDan Jurgens.It began in 1996 with a new #1 (October 1996), with Pérez as inker for the first 15 issues.Atom,who had become a teenager following the events ofZero Hour,leads the brand-new team (ofPrysm,Joto,RiskandArgent).Arsenalbecame a mentor about halfway through and Captain Marvel Junior/ CM3 joins the team. The series ended in September 1998.
A contest was held in the letters pages to determine who would join the team.Robin(Tim Drake), won the vote, but editors on the Batman titles banned his appearance, forcing Jurgens to useCaptain Marvel Jr.instead.[48]His inclusion failed to boost sales and the series was then cancelled.

The team returned in a three-issue miniseries,JLA/Titans: The Technis Imperative,[49]featuring nearly every Titan and showcasing the return of Cyborg. This led intoTitans,written byDevin K. Grayson,[50]starting withTitans Secret Files and Origins#1 (March 1999).
This team consisted of Nightwing, Troia, Arsenal, Tempest, the Flash, Starfire, Cyborg, Changeling, Damage and Argent. One new member,Jesse Quick,joined. This team lasted until issue #50 (2002). The West Coast branch of the team, Titans L.A., appeared once, in the pages ofTitans Secret Files and Origins#2.
BetweenTeen TitansandTitans,a new generation of young heroes formed a team inYoung Justice,consisting of Superboy, Robin, Impulse,Wonder Girl,SecretandArrowette.The two series concluded with the three-issue miniseriesTitans/Young Justice: Graduation Day,which led to two new series:Teen TitansandOutsiders.
Teen Titans(vol. 3) (2003–2011) andOutsiders(vol. 3) (2003–2007)
edit
WriterGeoff Johns'Teen Titansseries began in 2003, after a three issue miniseries entitledTitans/Young Justice: Graduation Day,which saw Lilith's death and Donna Troy sent to another world after seemingly dying, along with the disbanding of the 1998–2002 Titans roster and the Young Justice team. The relaunch came on the heels of the debut of theTeen Titanscartoon onCartoon Networkand reflected DC Comics chief executive Dan DiDio's desire to rehabilitate the Titans as one of DC's top franchises. Launched at the same time was a companion series, a revived version ofThe Outsiderswhich featured Nightwing and Arsenal, along with several other Titans members (Captain Marvel Jr. and Starfire).
The series featured several of the main teenage heroes from the Young Justice roster (Robin, Superboy, Wonder Girl, Impulse) and Starfire, Cyborg and Changeling (now rebranded Beast Boy to reflect the cartoon). Raven later returned to the team, reborn in a new teenage body while Jericho was brought back, having escaped death by possessing and laying dormant inside his father Deathstroke's mind.
The series renewed interest in the Titans,[51]but drew sharp complaints due to shifts in the personalities of the various Young Justice characters. Most notably, the decision to have Impulse rebrand himself Kid Flash and the decision to Jettison his happy-go-lucky person in favor of a more serious personality. The series, under Geoff Johns, also dramatically retconned Superboy's origin with the revelation that he was a hybrid clone based on the combined DNA of Superman and Lex Luthor (a possibility Johns had first suggested in a fan letter published in the Superboy comic book several years before he was employed by DC).
Under Geoff Johns, the Teen Titans were front and center during the build-up and events of the Infinite Crisis crossover. During the lead-in of the crossover, Donna Troy came back in a four-part crossover miniseries with The Outsiders called "The Return of Donna Troy" while Superboy and Cassie Sandsmark became a couple. During Infinite Crisis, Superboy was killed by his evil doppelganger Superboy Prime, Cyborg was severely damaged by cosmic forces unleashed by Alexander Luthor Jr., Starfire was lost in space with several other heroes, while Kid Flash became lost in the Speed Force, re-emerging in the Flash uniform and having aged to adulthood after a failed attempt to stop Superboy Prime.
One Year Laterand the post-Geoff Johns Titans
editFollowing the events ofInfinite Crisis,the Teen Titans fell into a state of chaos. Wonder Girl quit the group to join a cult she believed could resurrect Superboy, while Robin took a leave of absence to travel the globe with Batman and Nightwing. Changeling and Raven attempted to keep the Titans going, resulting in a massive open call membership drive that saw a large number of heroes come and join the roster, which was anchored by Beast Boy and Raven. New members include Miss Martian, Kid Devil, Zachary Zatara, Ravager, Bombshell (who like Terra I, was a traitor working for Deathstroke), Young Frankenstein, and Osiris.
During this period, Osiris was driven from the team due to a smear campaign launched by Amanda Waller after she manipulated him into killing a super-villain. The smear campaign against Osiris, along with the war between Black Adam and Intergang, led to Black Adam declaring war on the world. In the ensuing series of battles against the super-hero community, the Titans fought and lost a bloody battle with the villain, culminating in the deaths of Terra II and Young Frankenstein. The deaths led to Beast Boy resigning from the team to join the Doom Patrol along with Herald and Bumblebee, while Raven took a leave of absence to purge Jericho of the dark forces that were corrupting him.
Robin and Wonder Girl eventually rejoined the Titans (now located in San Francisco, California) and helped foil Bombshell's plan to frame Miss Martian as Deathstroke's latest mole in the team and allowed Raven to cleanse Jericho of the Azarathian corruption that had turned him evil. Geoff John's final arc on the series would introduce a new villainous "Titans East" team, led by Deathstroke and Batgirl Cassandra Cain.
Soon after, events related to theCountdownstory arc impacted the Titans. Duela Dent and Bart Allen are killed; Cyborg leaves, andSupergirljoins andBlue Beetleis invited to train, but the two eventually leave, with the members joining the Justice League of America and Justice League International, respectively. The Titans fight the future, evil adult versions of the group (Titans Tomorrow) and Clock King and the Terror Titans, who are part of Darkseid's underground fight club for metahumans.
After theBatman R.I.Pstoryline, Robin leaves and Wonder Girl leads the team. Red Devil loses his powers after Brother Blood absorbs them. Miss Martian returns with several teen heroes liberated from the Dark Side Club. A new team is formed: Wonder Girl, Blue Beetle and the now-powerless Red Devil are joined by Kid Eternity and Static, with the new Aquagirl, Miss Martian and a reformedBombshellsigning up.[52][53]
During the events of theBlackest Nightcrossover, some dead Titans are resurrected as members of theBlack Lantern Corps.In theTitans: Blackest Nightminiseries, an emergency team consisting of Donna Troy, Cyborg, Wonder Girl, Starfire, Beast Boy, Kid Flash and the newHawkandDove,is formed to defend the Tower. In the ensuing battle, the Hawk is killed after her predecessor Hank Hall tears her heart out. At the end of theBlackest Knightcrossover, Hank Hall is resurrected and resumes his partnership with Dove. In the main series, Ravager and Jericho fight their father Deathstroke and the dead members of the Wilson family, resurrected as Black Lanterns.
During this time, several back-up stories begin to run in the series: one called "The Coven", starringBlack Alice,Zachary ZataraandTraci 13and later, one starring Ravager.
Later storylines involve the corruption of Wonder Girl at the hands of various factors (designed to address complaints about the character's abusive attitudes towards her teammates post-Infinite Crisis), Kid Devil is killed in battle, while Kid Eternity is revealed to have been beaten to death by the Calculator after being kidnapped by him.
J. T. Krulbecame the writer with issue #88 and pencilerNicola Scottbecame the book's artist. The issue's teaser shows a line-up 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 splits. Bombshell and Aquagirl aremissing in action,Miss Martian is in a coma and she and a powerless Static leave with Cyborg to go toCadmus Labsto find a way to restore his powers.
Damian Wayne,the current Robin, is announced as a new team member,[54]officially joining in #89. A series for Static was announced.[55]In January 2011, new TitanSolsticedebuted in the January 2011Wonder Girlone-shot. She entered the mainTeen Titanstitle following the crossover with theRed Robinseries.[56]During the crossover, Tim asks the Titans for help in tracking down the Calculator after he tries to kill his friend,Tam Fox.Tim rejoins the team as Red Robin (rather than Robin) but Cassie would remain the leader. Following this, Damian quits the team.[57]
The book concluded with a three-part storyline spanning issues #98–100, which saw Superboy-Prime return to destroy the team. A large group of former Titans arrived and the series ultimately ended with Prime trapped in theSource Wall,seemingly for all 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.
Titans(vol. 2) (2008–2011)

A second ongoing Teen Titans series, titledTitans,launched in April 2008 with acover dateof June 2008, written byJudd Winick.[58]The first issue was drawn byIan ChurchillandNorm Rapmundand the second was byJoe Benitezand Victor Llamas. The opening storyline follows the events of theTeen Titans East Specialone-shot released in November 2007, revealing that Cyborg's team survived the attack, except Power Boy, dead after being impaled. The team's new line up consists of formerNew Teen TitansNightwing, The Flash (Wally West), Donna Troy, Beast Boy, Raven, Cyborg, Red Arrow and Starfire.[59][60]
In the series' first story, 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 sets out to create an East Coast Titans team. During a training session, the team was massacred by an unseen force. Though Cyborg survives, Titans' members past and present are attacked by demonic entities across the globe. Raven, sensing Trigon's presence once again, calls upon her former Titans allies to defeat her fiendish father.
After rescuing several Titans and questioning Trigon himself, the Titans learn that Trigon's three children have prepared his second invasion for him. Raven's three grown half brothers – Jacob, Jared and Jesse are responsible. Working as a team, the Titans thwart the Sons of Trigon and stop Trigon's invasion plan. Following this adventure, Raven chooses 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 back together as a team.
Following this, the team settles at Titans Tower (the New York base), to recover from the events. While Dick and Kory attempt to make a decision on where their relationship will lead, Raven and Beast Boy go out 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 her father's influence. 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 coa xing. Using her teleporting powers, she and the sons of Trigon vanish, leaving a distraught Beast Boy to warn the others. Using a gemstone that carries Raven's pure essence within it, the Titans free Raven of her father's evil. 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 arrives, frantically asking for help to separate himself from Match's body. Jericho has turned renegade again and fights the Titans. He is under the control of the numerous people that he has taken command of over the years. Nightwing resigns from the Titans due tohis new responsibilities in Gotham.
Brightest Day: Titans – Villains for Hire
edit
AComic-Conannouncement stated that Cyborg, Donna Troy and Starfire were leaving the team to pursue the JLA. Red Arrow, with his daughter Lian, has already relocated and is no longer involved with the Titans, but he got a spotlight in issue #23 after what happens to him inJustice League: Cry for Justice#5. After a series of spotlight issues,[61][62]Final Crisis Aftermath: INKwriter-artist creative team Eric Wallace and Fabrizio Fiorentino took over. Deathstroke took over the team with theTattooed ManandCheshire.[63]
One of the new members included Carla Monetti a.k.a. Cinder, a young redheaded woman with the ability to manipulate fire.Osiris,a member during theOne Year Latergap, who had been brought back to life after the events ofBlackest Night,returned as a member. The final issue of the limited series,Justice League: The Rise of Arsenalended with an advertisement stating that Arsenal's storyline would continue.
The team debuted in the one-shot issueTitans: Villains for Hire,where they are hired to assassinateRyan Choi(theAtom) in his home inIvy Town.The issue quickly became the subject of controversy due to Choi's violent death. Allegations of racial insensitivity dogged DC over the decision to kill off a relatively high-profile Asian character.[64]
Following the one-shot, in the team's inaugural storyline they were hired to assassinateLex Luthorfollowing the events ofWar of the Supermen.This is 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 byRay Palmerand 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 resurrectedIsis.[65]Following the battle with the Justice League,Titansconcluded with a two-part storyline which saw Jericho's return. The series ended with Arsenal battling Slade for control of the team and the Titans ultimately disbanding and Arsenal taking Jericho under his wing, leaving Slade alone once again.[66]
The New 52(2011–2016)
edit
art byBrett Boothand Norm Rapmund
DC Comics relaunchedTeen Titanswith issue #1 (cover datedNovember 2011) as part of DC's New 52 event, written byScott Lobdellwith formerJustice LeagueartistBrett Boothproviding interiors. The relaunch was controversial, because it was originally designed as a direct continuation of the previous Teen Titans series before Dan DiDio declared that all previous incarnations of the Titans never existed; this in spite of the fact that early issues of the 2011 series (as well as "Red Hood and the Outlaws"and"Batwoman") made explicit mention of the previous Teen Titans teams.
The new team is formed by Tim Drake, now rebranded as "Red Robin" to protect teenage heroes from a villain known as Harvest and his organization "N.O.W.H.E.R.E." A running theme for the 2011–2014 series was Harvest kidnapping young heroes for experimentation and enslavement as part of the villainous scheme for world domination.
The 2011–2014 series featured several crossovers, "The Culling",which had the team meet the Legion of Super-Heroes, as well as"Death of the Family",which focused upon a meeting of Batgirl, Red Hood and the Outlaws, and the Titans, as the Joker kidnapped Red Hood and Red Robin. The 2012" Zero Month "issue provided theNew 52origin of Tim Drake, recasting him as a young computer hacker who was adopted by Batman to protect him from retaliation by the Penguin.
The 2011–2014 series and Scott Lodbell's writing drew negative reviews, though the Lodbell created characterBunkerwas positively received by fans. Criticism included the meandering Harvest/N.O.W.H.E.R.E storyline, an arc that revealed Kid Flash (Bart Allen) as a futuristic fundamentalist Christian terrorist hiding in the 20th century, as well as the elimination of the franchise's lore. The character of Raven and Trigon was originally embargoed by Lobdell, but the characters were brought back due to fan demand. The 2011 series also spawned a short-lived spin-off,The Ravagers,which ran for 10 issues and featured Beast Boy, Terra andCaitlyn FairchildofGen13in major roles.
The series was relaunched in July with a new issue #1 with Will Pfeifer as writer. The series continued with the characteristics of the main characters, but ignored the events of the Ravagers spin-off, presenting Beast Boy both green and in line with his animated series characteristics. The series also added an African American version of the super-heroinePower Girlto the roster.
Due to the backlash against the removal of the previous incarnations of the Titans (and the ripple effect it had upon characters such as Nightwing and Donna Troy), DC launched a new miniseries called "Titans Hunt", which restored the original 1960s version of the Titans to canon. The series states that all memory of the original Titans was erased by Lilith to protect the team from Mr. Twister. It also alludes to further reality alterations to the DC Universe; these are then picked up on in theDC Rebirthinitiative, beginning a week after "Titans Hunt", which restoresWally Westto canon, along with various aspects of the Pre-Flashpointcontinuity.
DC Rebirth(2016–2020)
edit
The June 2016DC Rebirthrelaunch established two Titans teams: the Titans, with Nightwing, The Flash (Wally West), Lilith, Arsenal, Donna Troy, the Bumblebee and Tempest; and the Teen Titans, consisting of Damian Wayne as Robin, Wallace West as Kid Flash, Jackson Hyde as Aqualad, Beast Boy, Starfire and Raven.TitanswriterDan Abnettconfirmed in an interview withNewsaramathatTitanscharacters the Hawk and the Dove, the Herald, Gnarrk and others would be appearing in the new series as well.[67][68][69]After the Lazarus Contract event, Wallace West is fired from the Teen Titans and joins Defiance, Deathstroke's version of the Titans. However, Wallace returns to the Teen Titans in issue #14. InSuper Sons#7, Superboy (Jonathan Samuel Kent) acts as a temporary member.
As part of the "New Justice" banner for DC Comics, both teams underwent changes in their roster, with Nightwing, Donna Troy, Raven,Steel(Natasha Irons), Beast Boy,Miss Martianand eventuallyGreen Lantern (Kyle Rayner),[70]and Robin, Kid Flash, Red Arrow (Emiko Queen), Crush (Lobo's daughter), Djinn, and Roundhouse for the Teen Titans.[71]TheTitansseries ended its run at issue #36 (April 2019), whileTeen Titansis ended its run in November 2020 at issue #47.[72]
Infinite Frontier(2021–2022)
editIn theTeen Titans Academyseries, the adult generation of Titans (Nightwing, Starfire, Donna Troy, Beast Boy, Cyborg, and Raven) serve as faculty of a new superhero academy designed to mentor the heroes of tomorrow. Its upperclassmen are the active Teen Titans squad (Bunker, Roundhouse, Crush, Kid Flash III, Red Arrow II, and Jakeem Thunder), while its new students include three bat-themed Gotham residents (the brawny Megabat, techy Bratgirl, and bat-like metahuman Chupacabra) collectively known as the Bat Pack; the established superheroBilly Batson;paraplegic speedsterBolt;EMP-generating Brick Pettirosso; nonbinary ragdoll and apprentice toDoctor Fate,Stitch; Raven's star pupil, Dane; tubular shapeshifter Marvin "Tooby" Murakami; ice-wielder Summer Zahid; simian superhero Gorilla Gregg, nephew ofGrodd;Hero dialwielder Miguel Montez; green-prehensile-haired Tress; and the amnesiac, super strong, Matt Price. As the new students and faculty of the academy attempt to establish their new school, they are plagued by appearances of someone assuming the costume ofRed X,once worn by Dick Grayson and another mysterious copycat.
As time goes on, the team discover that Dane is the half-demon antichrist, and under the alias Nevermore (reflecting his similaritiesto Raven), is destined to bring about the apocalypse. In the first story arc's conclusion, the mysterious third Red X is revealed to be Brick, operating under the false belief that Dick Grayson is his father; he was manipulated by the second Red X, who bears a longstanding grudge against Grayson. Dane and Brick's attacks on the Academy cause the structure to collapse, but the students manage to prevent all but minimal casualties. Matt Price fires optic blasts in the final confrontation, indicating to onlookers that he might be Kryptonian, but Grayson deduces he must be something else, as the blasts give off no heat, more closely resembling Darkseid's Omega Beams.Teen Titans Academyis one of the series which leads directly into the events of the major company crossover "Dark Crisis on Infinite Earths",which sees Nightwing, the Titans, and the other younger heroes step up in the Justice League's absence to defeat a possessedDeathstroke's dark army and save the multiverse.
Dawn of DC(2023–present)
editFollowing the events of "Dark Crisis" and during the run of writerTom TayloronNightwing,Superman approaches Nightwing with the proposition that he serves as the leader of the new superhero team who succeeds the Justice League following their disbanding. This leads to Nightwing unveiling a new Titans Tower inBludhavenwith the team consisting of him, The Flash (Wally West), Donna Troy, Beast Boy, Cyborg, Starfire, and Raven. This will lead into a new Titans series written by Taylor and illustrated byNicola Scott.[73][74]The Titans' first challenge brings them into conflict with Brother Eternity, a Tamaranean named Xand'r who used to work for the royal family of Tamaran before betraying them to the Citadel, whom has taken over the Church of Blood (now renamed the Church of Eternity) and infuses Tempest with a parasite to turn him against the team. This later leads to the events ofTitans: Beast WorldwhereAmanda Wallerand Doctor Hate (revealed to be Raven's demonic half having escaped her gem and taken on a new form styled after Doctor Fate) take advantage of Beast Boy becoming aStar Conquerorto defeat Brother Eternity's master, a Star Conqueror known as the Necrostar, and use him as part of a plot to transform the superheroes and supervillains into mind-controlled animals. Although the Titans do return everyone to normal, Waller frames the Titans as the culprits for the attack, and confiscates theHall of Justice.In addition, Doctor Hate defeats Raven during the incident, imprisons her in her own gem, and poses as her to infiltrate the Titans. Tempest, freed from the parasite, then finally joins the team.
Titans Tower
editThis sectionneeds expansion.You can help byadding to it.(January 2021) |
Titans Toweris the headquarters of the Teen Titans. The first tower was located inNew York City,while later series depict it inCalifornia,usually theSan Francisco Bay Area.Although the location and actual look of the tower has changed throughout the various series, there are a few defining characteristics, such as always being shaped to resemble the letter "T". In some series the tower is often colored like sky blue or silver.
The latestTitans Toweris located in Bludhaven, now being rebuilt over a destroyed prison. This acts as the headquarters for a new team of Titans, who now act as the world's protectors after the Justice League has gone into a hiatus.

This series contains material relating to the development and distribution of theTeen Titansdrug awareness comic books. The comic books were designed to communicate the dangers of drug abuse to elementary school children. The Drug Abuse Policy Office coordinated the project, DC Comics developed the story line and artwork, and private companies funded the production costs. The Keebler Company sponsored the fourth grade book (released in April 1983), the National Soft Drink Association sponsored the sixth grade book (November 1983), and IBM sponsored the fifth grade book through the National Federation of Parents for Drug Free Youth (February 1984). The files consist primarily of correspondence with educators, parents, and children.
- ^Manning "1980s" in Dolan, p. 209: "As one of DC's most popular team books,The New Teen Titanswas a natural choice to receive the deluxe paper quality and higher price point of the new Baxter format. With the regular newsstand title having already changed its name toTales of the Teen Titanswith issue #41, the path was clear for a new comic to once again be titledThe New Teen Titans.Featuring the trademark writing of Marv Wolfman and the art of George Pérez, this second incarnation was a success from the start, providing readers with the perfect blend of high-quality paper with high-quality storytelling.
