<---- Breathes sigh of relief. Could not have handled losing Mal in the FIRST round!
Definitely some very interesting results after this round IB.
I'm also surprised to see Argent only got one vote. She used to be among my very least favourite members of this team but I've somewhat warmed to her since the Jurgens/Grayson years. Would have thought she was more popular with others though.
Other early exit surprises - Batgirl, the Robins: Damien and Jason, Jesse Quick, Static, Supergirl: Matrix, Green Lantern...
I'm not as sorry to lose that last one as you though. Kyle is an OK character but he's much more a JLA one than a Titans one - as he proved when he turned against the team in JLA/Titans!
The top 3 were a surprise, but a happy one. Especially Bumblebee! Where'd THAT surge in popularity come from?!?
As for the placements of the founding 5 - I knew Dick, Donna and Wally would make it through just fine without my votes. I wonder if others felt the same?
Fun game!

I make no secret of my interest in minor, lower-tier, z-grade comic book characters and his appearance in this thread, combined with your love for him PB , has got me fascinated in this Wonder Boy of which I have no memory!
I am going to pull out my old Team Titans issues and give all the posters in here a rundown of the amazing WONDER BOY before this game is done!

I was surprised that Bumblebee, Duela and Flamebird were so popular too - Bette got only one vote less than the first two! Pleased to see Kole and Tula doing quite well too, with only one vote less than Bette. Looks like love for the more obscure underdog Titans is strong!
I'm actually surprised Mal ranked so low. Given the popularity of the three gals above...! Maybe the girls are just more popular in general?
Somewhat pleased to see Solstice, CM3, Magenta, Bunker, Lagoon Boy, Pantha and Proxy, among others, squeak through. Can't say I'm truly elated, though - these characters are all (IMO) interesting and pleasant, but I don't "know" them well enough to really jump for joy.
Not too surprised that Jesse (or Kyle) didn't make it, since they're more associated with other teams. Sad for Kyle, since I see his tenure in the Titans as a nice story about him growing up, but not surprised.
Not too surprised about Batgirl or Damian or Jason Todd either, since they weren't really associated with the Titans (and Damian has been pretty snotty before!).
I knew the Founding 5 + the Perez/Wolfman biggies (Kory, Raven, Vic, Gar) would make it through no problem. It'll be interesting to see how they rank in the end, though!
Glad you're having fun, Blacula! Keep the comments coming, I love how these Idol games tend to spur discussion on the characters

um ... I actually never read a comic with Wonder Boy in it ... so he may suck ... but I find him wackily interesting based from what small tid bits I've read on the internet ... I also have a huge interest in little used characters ... <cough> Nam'Lor <cough> ... heh heh

Ah, what could have been... A crossover between those two teams, in those two eras, would have been awesome!

Also, I'm a big fan of the Stephanie Brown Batgirl series, so I'm hoping Wendy/Proxy goes far!
I like all three Titans you mentioned too, and I really prefer Animated Raven and Starfire to their comics counterparts too!
Titans Idol - vote for your favorite Titans members!

I'm surprised at how male-heavy my lists turned out to be. I usually end up lopsided in the other direction.
Similarly, I've put zero thought into how this team would balance, and have Superboy, Osiris, Damage, Miss Martian, Bombshell and Power Boy (who, more or less, are very similar powerhouses) alongside scrappier non-powered (or 'lightly powered') characters like Nightwing, Arsenal, Joker's Daughter, Ravager, Son of Vulcan and Golden Eagle.
I artificially limited myself to picking only one version of a character, but, in retrospect, I kinda wish I'd voted for both Animated Kory *and* Pre-Flashpoint Kory. I love them both!

I also wondered whether many of us would vote differently if our objective were to create a team vs. to simply vote for our favorites. I know MY lists would be different for both this game and Legion Idol.
I also found myself being "overly inclusive" - when making my list I realized that I hadn't read a single issue with Bushido in it, yet included him because I know he's Asian and liked his look!
At least I can say Solstice, Bunker and Jaime Reyes are on my list because I read issues featuring them and liked how they were written!

Knowing that there's only going to be one winner at the end of all this (which, by the way, even now, I have a feeling I know who that winner is going to be) I'm not paying attention to the "team balance" in my votes at all.
I'm really surprised that there are voters here voting for characters that they've never actually read in a comic before. You guys must be supremely disinterested in a lot of the Titans that you have actually read! haha
