*all-new all-now meaning, of course, mostly Disco Titans threads, but threads on other Titans topics and eras are allowed, I suppose.

Maybe this mystery'll be solved in the pages of the SECRET FILES coming out later this month-- the one that's supposed to examine Duela Dent's back story.
I think it'd be fun if Karen had some sort of connection to the JLA villainess the Queen Bee from whatever-the-hell-planet-she-was-from.

Hi Mystery Lad!
If i recall from Zazzala's (QB) first apperarance in JLA (vol. 1) 23, she was an inhabitant of the planet Korll, altho whether she was its ruler, i don't have a clue - sorry

I don't know much about Mal, as he is a character who hasn't appeared very much in the comics I have. So it would appear his superpower is having a "horn of wonder".
Hmmmm...I'd love to know what this mysterious horn of wonder can do!
I guess having a horn of wonder is pretty disco, come to think of it.
That costume is hideous! He must have said he liked it just to humour Karen. Either that or he has the worst taste of any superhero ever!
I'm sure having the horn of wonder made up for it though. Whatever that was.

In the REAL, ORIGINAL, PRE-CRISIS aka THE STORIES THAT COUNT Teen Titans (# 45, to be specific)....
Mal was fatally wounded, and in a NEARnear-death experience, he challenges Azrael (the Angel of Death, not the sucky one later introduced by Wolfman) to a fistfight/wrestling match.
When Mal defeats Azrael in battle, the angel Gabriel presents Mal with his horn-- actually a ram's horn known as a shofar.
Gabriel's horn has the power to make Mal the equal of his opponents, or to even the odds for Mal (as it did when it teleported the Titans to his side when he was being ganged up on).
In the stupid post-crisis tales, the horn was something Mal and Karen invented. **YAWWWN!**
. . . when female super-heroes designed and made costumes for their boyfriends.
. . . when someone thought that attacking a super-hero team would prove how much that team didn't care about said boyfriend.
. . . when someone got away with attacking a super-hero team by admitting they were mistaken.
. . . when "that must remain my secret for now" was short-hand for "the writer didn't think up an answer."
. . . when fans could design super-hero costumes and get credit. (Wonder if Dave actually got paid?)
