Publication history
Original incarnation
Robin (Dick Grayson), Kid Flash (Wally West) and Aqualad (Garth) team up to defeat a weather-controlling villain known as Mister Twister (comics), Mister Twister in ''The Brave and the Bold'' #54 (July 1964) by writer Bob Haney and artist Bruno Premiani. They 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). After being featured in ''Showcase (comics), Showcase'' #59 (December 1965), the Teen Titans were spun off into their own series with ''Teen Titans'' #1 by Haney and artist Nick Cardy. The series' original premise had the Teen Titans helping teenagers and answering calls. Comics historian Les Daniels noted 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 like The Beatles and Bob Dylan impressed some observers." Green Arrow's sidekick Speedy makes guest appearances before officially joining the team in ''Teen Titans'' #19. Aqualad takes a leave of absence from the group in the same issue, but makes several later guest appearances, sometimes with girlfriend Aquagirl (Tula), Aquagirl. Neal Adams was called upon to rewrite and redraw a ''Teen Titans'' story which had been written by 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. 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) and introduced her new costume. Psychic Lilith (DC Comics), Lilith Clay and Mal Duncan also join the group. Beast Boy of the Doom Patrol makes a guest appearance seeking membership, but was rejected as too young at the time; existing heroes Hawk and Dove, a duo of teenaged superpowered brothers, appear in issue #21; and time-displaced caveman Gnarrk aids the team in two issues. The series explored events such as inner-city racial tension and 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. 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).1970s revival
The series resumed with issue #44 (November 1976). The stories included the introductions of African American superheroine Bumblebee (DC Comics), Bumblebee and former supervillainess-turned-superheroine Harlequin (comics)#Duela Dent, Harlequin in issue #48 and the introduction of the "Teen Titans West" team in issues #50–52 consisting of a number of other teen heroes, including Bette Kane#Pre-Crisis, Bat-Girl (Betty Kane) and Golden Eagle (comics)#Charley Parker, Golden Eagle. The revival was short-lived and the series was cancelled as of issue #53 (February 1978), which featured an origin story. 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 for ''Giant Teen Titans Annual'' #1 (1967 issue) (), a one-shot special that reprinted selected Silver Age of Comic Books, Silver Age stories in the 1960s-style ''80-Page Giant'' format.''The New Teen Titans'' (1980–1996)
''DC Comics Presents'' #26 (October 1980) DC Comics insert previews, introduced a new team of Titans, anchored by 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 Beast Boy as Changeling and introduced the machine man Cyborg, the alien Starfire, and the dark Empathy, empath Raven. Raven, an expert manipulator, forms the group to fight her demonic father Trigon (comics), Trigon the Terrible and 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." The team's adversaries included Deathstroke, Deathstroke the Terminator, 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 ''Tales of the Teen Titans Annual'' #3, featured a psychopathic girl named Terra (comics), Terra with the power to manipulate Earth and all Earth-related materials. She 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 and was later reprinted as a standalone Trade paperback (comics), trade paperback in 1988. Robin adopts the identity of Nightwing, while Wally West gives up his Kid Flash persona and quits the Titans. It also featured the introduction of a new member in Jericho (comics), Jericho, Deathstroke's other son. Other notable ''New Teen Titans'' stories included "A Day in the Lives...", presenting a day in the team members' personal lives; "Who is Donna Troy?", depicting Robin investigating Wonder Girl's origins; and "We Are Gathered Here Today...", telling the story of Wonder Girl's wedding. ''Tales of the New Teen Titans'', a four-part limited series by Wolfman and Pérez, was published in 1982, detailing the Back-story, back-stories of Cyborg, Raven, Changeling, and Starfire. Wolfman wrote a series of ''New Teen Titans'' drug 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 the Keebler Company, the second was illustrated by Ross Andru and underwritten by the American Beverage Association, American Soft Drink Industry, and the third was drawn by Adrian Gonzales and financed by IBM.''The New Teen Titans'' (vol. 2)
The ''New Teen Titans'' relaunched with a new #1 issue in August 1984 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. 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 renamed ''Tales of the Teen Titans'' with issue #41, while a new concurrently published series named ''The New Teen Titans'' (vol. 2) launched with a new #1 following the release of ''Tales of the Teen Titans'' #44 and ''Annual'' #3, the conclusion of the "Judas Contract" storyline. After both titles ran new stories for one year, with ''Tales of the Teen Titans'' #45–58 taking place prior to the events of ''The New Teen Titans'' (vol. 2) #1, and a filler issue reprinting a digest-only story and the original preview story from ''DC 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 in ''New Teen Titans'' #14–18), the first ''Annual'', and the lead story from the second ''Annual'', before being cancelled with issue #91. Issue #1 of ''The 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", 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. José Luis García-López followed Pérez as the title's artist and Eduardo Barreto followed García-López. Paul Levitz scripted and wrote several issues of the Brother Blood saga when Wolfman briefly left.Name changed to ''The New Titans''
Pérez temporarily returned with issue #50, when the series took the name ''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 Retroactive continuity, retcons created in the aftermath of ''Crisis on Infinite Earths''. Pérez sketched through issues #55, 57 and 60, while only providing layouts for issues #58–59 and 61, with artist Tom Grummett finishing pencils and Bob McLeod (comics), Bob McLeod as 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 of Danny 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. The Wildebeest, a villain who used proxies and surrogates to hide his true identity while vexing the Titans, was expanded to a full army of villains and revealed to be a front for the remaining members of the supervillain group the H.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 the ''Gestalt intelligence, gestalt'' being Phantasm (an identity created by Chase early in the series); while Raven, Jericho, and obscure Titans ally Golden Eagle were killed. New character Pantha (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 since ''Millennium'', with ''The New Titans'' #81 being part of the "War of the Gods" storyline. Peterson also saw the launch of ''Team 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. Following ''Zero 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 as Damage and Impulse were inserted into the team to try and renew interest, along with Team Titan survivors Mirage and Terra II. New Green Lantern Kyle Rayner was also brought onto the title and given a prominent romance with Donna Troy, whose marriage with Terry Long had collapsed in the pages of ''Team Titans'' before the book's cancellation. Sales saw a collapse and despite several crossovers with other books (''Damage'', ''Green Lantern'', ''Darkstars'', and ''Deathstroke''), 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 in order to prevent Raven and the revived Citadel Empire from reconquering the Vega star system.''The New Teen Titans'' and the ''Uncanny X-Men''
''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 Intercompany crossover, 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 (comics), Terry Austin.''New Titans: Games''
In 1989, Marv Wolfman and George Perez began planning a prestige format special, their first work together on the franchise since Perez left after ''The 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 on ''Games'' with 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 on ''The Infinity Gauntlet'' for 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. The story features several major events (the deaths of King Faraday and Cyborg's longtime love interest Sarah Simms and Danny Chase being maimed) that make it impossible to fit into canon, reducing it to an alternate universe side story in Teen Titans lore.''Teen Titans Spotlight''
Due 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 called ''Teen 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 limited ''The New Teen Titans'' ability to be part of company-wide crossovers, two issues of ''Spotlight'' tied into the ''Millennium'' crossover event, with the second issue being the coda for the event. The series failed to catch on and was cancelled in 1988, along with ''Tales of the Teen Titans''.''Team Titans''
The Team Titans were one of 100 groups sent back through time to prevent the birth of Lord Chaos (DC Comics), Lord Chaos, the son of Donna Troy and Terry Long. Their mission was to kill the pregnant Troy before she could give birth. Mirage (DC Comics)#Miriam Delgado, Mirage, Killowat, Redwing, Terra (comics)#Tara Markov doppelgänger, Terra, Nightrider (DC Comics), Nightrider, Prestor Jon and Battalion (DC Comics), Battalion made up the team.''Teen Titans'' (vol. 2) (1996–1998)
''Teen Titans'' was written and penciled by Dan Jurgens. It began in 1996 with a new #1 (October 1996), with Pérez as inker for the first 15 issues. Atom (Ray Palmer), Atom, who had become a teenager following the events of ''Zero Hour'', leads the brand-new team (of Prysm, Joto (comics), Joto, Risk (comics), Risk and Argent (comics), Argent). Roy Harper (character), Arsenal became a mentor about halfway through. The series ended in September 1998. A contest was held in the letters pages to determine who would join the team. Tim Drake, Robin (Tim Drake), won the vote, but editors on the Batman titles banned his appearance, forcing Jurgens to use Captain Marvel Jr. instead. His inclusion failed to boost sales and the series was then cancelled.''Titans'' (1999–2003)
The team returned in a three-issue miniseries, ''JLA/Titans: The Technis Imperative'', featuring nearly every Titan and showcasing the return of Cyborg. This led into ''Titans'', written by Devin K. Grayson, starting with ''Titans 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 of ''Titans Secret Files and Origins'' #2. Between ''Teen Titans'' and ''Titans'', a new generation of young heroes formed a team in ''Young Justice'', consisting of Superboy, Robin, Impulse, Wonder Girl (Cassie Sandsmark), Wonder Girl, Secret (comics), Secret and Arrowette. The two series concluded with the three-issue miniseries ''Titans/Young Justice: Graduation Day'', which led to two new series: ''Teen Titans'' and ''Outsiders (comics), Outsiders''.''Teen Titans'' (vol. 3) (2003–2011) and ''Outsiders'' (vol. 3) (2003–2007)
Writer Geoff Johns' ''Teen Titans'' series began in 2003, after a three issue miniseries entitled ''Titans/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 the ''Teen Titans (TV series), Teen Titans'' cartoon on Cartoon Network and 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 of ''The Outsiders'' which 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, 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 Later'' and the post-Geoff Johns Titans
Following the events of ''Infinite 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 in order 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 the ''Countdown (DC Comics), Countdown'' story arc impacted the Titans. Duela Dent and Bart Allen are killed; Cyborg leaves, and Supergirl (Kara Zor-El), Supergirl joins and Blue Beetle (Jaime Reyes), Blue Beetle is 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 the ''Batman R.I.P'' storyline, 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 reformed Bombshell (DC Comics), Bombshell signing up. During the events of the ''Blackest Night'' crossover, some dead Titans are resurrected as members of the Black Lantern Corps. In the ''Titans: Blackest Night'' miniseries, an emergency team consisting of Donna Troy, Cyborg, Wonder Girl, Starfire, Beast Boy, Kid Flash and the new Hawk (Holly Granger), Hawk and Dove (Dawn Granger), Dove, 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 the ''Blackest Knight'' crossover, 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", starring Black Alice (comics), Black Alice, Zachary Zatara and Traci 13 and 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. Krul became the writer with issue #88 and penciler Nicola Scott became 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 are missing in action, Miss Martian is in a coma and she and a powerless Static leave with Cyborg to go to Cadmus Labs in order to find a way to restore his powers. Damian Wayne, the current Robin, is announced as a new team member, officially joining in #89. A series for Static was announced. In January 2011, new Titan Solstice (comics), Solstice debuted in the January 2011 ''Wonder Girl'' one-shot. She entered the main ''Teen Titans'' title following the crossover with the ''Red Robin (comic book), Red Robin'' series. During the crossover, Tim asks the Titans for help in tracking down the Calculator after he tries to kill his friend, Tamara Fox, Tam Fox. Tim rejoins the team as Red Robin (rather than Robin) but Cassie would remain the leader. Following this, Damian quits the team. 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 the Source 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, titled ''Titans'', launched in April 2008 with a cover date of June 2008, written by Judd Winick. The first issue was drawn by Ian Churchill and Norm Rapmund and the second was by Joe Benitez and Victor Llamas. The opening storyline follows the events of the ''Teen Titans East Special'' one-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 former ''New Teen Titans'' Nightwing, The Flash (Wally West), Donna Troy, Beast Boy, Raven, Cyborg, Red Arrow and Starfire. 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 coaxing. 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 to Batman: Reborn, his new responsibilities in Gotham.''Brightest Day: Titans – Villains for Hire''
A San Diego Comic-Con International, Comic-Con announcement 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 in ''Justice League: Cry for Justice'' #5. After a series of spotlight issues, ''Final Crisis Aftermath: INK'' writer-artist creative team Eric Wallace and Fabrizio Fiorentino took over. Deathstroke took over the team with the Tattooed Man and Cheshire (comics), Cheshire. One of the new members included Carla Monetti a.k.a. Cinder, a young redheaded woman with the ability to manipulate fire. Osiris (DC Comics), Osiris, a member during the ''One Year Later'' gap, who had been brought back to life after the events of ''Blackest Night'', returned as a member. The final issue of the limited series, ''Justice League: The Rise of Arsenal'' ended with an advertisement stating that Arsenal's storyline would continue. The team debuted in the one-shot issue ''Titans: Villains for Hire'', where they are hired to assassinate Atom (Ryan Choi), Ryan Choi (the Atom (comics), Atom) in his home in Ivy 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. Following the one-shot, in the team's inaugural storyline they were hired to assassinate Lex Luthor following the events of ''War 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 by Ray Palmer (comics), 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 (DC Comics), Isis. Following the battle with the Justice League, ''Titans'' concluded 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.''The New 52'' (2011–2016)
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'' artist Brett Booth providing 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" in order 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 (comics), 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 the ''New 52'' origin of Tim Drake, recasting him as a young computer hacker who was adopted by Batman to protect him from retaliation from the Penguin. The 2011–2014 series and Scott Lodbell's writing drew negative reviews, though the Lodbell created character Bunker (comics), Bunker was 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 and Caitlin Fairchild, Caitlyn Fairchild of ''Gen¹³'' in 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-heroine Power Girl to 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 the ''DC Rebirth'' initiative, beginning a week after "Titans Hunt", which restores Wally West to canon, along with various aspects of the Pre-''Flashpoint'' continuity.''DC Rebirth'' (2016–2020)

In the ''Teen Titans Academy'' series, 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 superhero Billy Batson; paraplegic speedster Bolt (DC Comics), Bolt; EMP-generating Brick Pettirosso; nonbinary ragdoll and apprentice to Doctor Fate, Stitch; Raven's star pupil, Dane; tubular shapeshifter Marvin "Tooby" Murakami; ice-wielder Summer Zahid; simian superhero Gorilla Gregg, nephew of Gorilla Grodd, Grodd; Dial H for Hero, Hero dial wielder 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 of List of Teen Titans (TV series) characters#Red X, Red 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 (The Raven, reflecting his similarities to 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. Concurrently, in the comic book limited series ''Titans United'', the core roster of Titans is joined by new Titans Jason Todd, Red Hood (Jason Todd) and Superboy (Kon-El), Superboy (Conner Kent), in place of Cyborg; no story is given for how the roster was assembled. This is intended as a commercial tie-in to the concurrent ''Titans'' TV series but is set in, or something very much like, current DC continuity Red X was also in the issue the fall of the Teen titans academy begins he was fighting Shazam (Billy Batson) and in another issue that Speedy (Roy Harper) meets Flash.Titans Tower
