Plain and simple. Little known (or maybe not) facts about the Titans, any era.
Name three famous real-life singers who appeared at Donna Troy's wedding in Tales of the Teen Titans.
Tony Orlando, David Lee Roth and Tina Turner??
(btw DL, we look like two dangerous dudes with those new avatars -- the Titans' world is definitely a darker place)
Especially if you add mine to the bunch.
Well, I seem to remember Gar saying he'd book Donna Summer and Michael JAckson...
CP got one of the three. Hint: The other two consist of a bass player from an Australian trio and the other is part of a different famous trio.
Luciano P. sang and Sting was among the guests. Can't think of an Australian, though.
My bad. I meant to type British and typed Australian for some reason. Sting was who I was referring to as was LP.
Now, which of CP's two guesses was correct?
Tina Turner and Tony Orlando
Wasn't Michael Jackson there as well?
Michael was the third one.
LP sang, MJ appeared in one panel real quick sort of in-between takes, and Sting introduced himself to Vic and asked him if he was a football player.
Since LYL got 2 of the 3 she gets the next question.
What are the names of Cyborg's paternal grandparents?
Silas and Maude? Or was it Silas and Hattie? Or was Silas his Dad? Oh I don't know... oh wait wasn't his Grandfather Tucker? And then there's Maude... And then there's Maude!
I think it was Tucker and Maude.
Yep. Remember the mad Maude, she slapped Vic? (His parents were Silas and Elinore, by the by.)
Do carry on....
OK here's a gloomy one - Who was the first Titan/Titan ally to die?
(There could actually be 2 answers to this taking into account a later ret-con.)
Was it Gnarrk the caveboy?
Edited because of typos
I can't think of anyone dying before Golden Eagle.
Well, I think Terra died before Charlie. Also, Gnaark was retconned to die before any of them...
I think you might be right about Terra, Phantasm.
Well done Phantasm. You got the two characters I was thinking of.
The first Titan we ever saw die was Terra I in Tales of the Teen Titans Annual #3 in 1984 (a long time before Golden Eagle in New Titans #72 in 1991).
However, as was revealed in New Titans #56 in 1989, the long-unseen Titan ally Gnarrk had actually been put into a coma many years ago where he lay for a long period of time before dying. What was never revealed though was whether this death had actually occurred before or after that of Terra I's.
My guess is probably before but either way Phantasm's up for getting both of them.
Phantasm!?! Helllloooooo?
If he doesn't come back TheGreenActingBug should ask the nest question for being the first to get at least one of the characters right.
OK, I'll go next then...
What was the name of Speedy's band?
I know the answer to this one but since it was my question that seemed to stop this thread dead last time I'll let someone else have a go.
Bullfrog?
Leapfrog?
Toadies from Hell?
I think it was Great Frog ?
And IF that's right, then the question is: Name all of Duela Dent's known identities.
it was indeed Great Frog.
Duela:
Joker's Daughter and Harlequin are the two I know of.
Didn't she also pass herse;f off as Penguin's daughter, Catwoman's daughter, Riddler's daughter and even Scarecrow's daughter in some of her first appearances?
Originally posted by Invisible Brainiac:

yep, she did all that.
And there's still another one to go.
She's also boasted to be the Wildebeest's daughter and Doomsday's daughter in some of her more recent appearances in the last ten years.
get out!
how 'bout Darkseid's daughter?
Vic Von Doom's daughter?
Merv Griffin's daughter?
I think the one you mean is The Queen of Cards.
Originally posted by TheGreenActingBug:

Yup, that's the one
So... who gets the question?
go for it, Invisible Brainiac! u got most of it
Thanks. Um... in the Titans/JLA crossover, a misguided Cyborg tries to give each of the Titans his idea of their deepest fantasies. But what was so odd about Terra II's "fantasy"?
It wasn't nice at all. She was on a great big pole type thingy being told she was guilty and getting upset because she wasn't Terra I.
You got it, Bevis. Cyborg sure has a lot to learn, doesn't he?
Yay me!
OK, probably quite an easy one here, but never mind. How many Titans have also been members of Young Justice?
4? 5, if Captain Marvel Jr. counts somehow (I never read YJ).
Robin 3 (Tim)
Superboy 2 (Conner)
Wondergirl 2 (Cassie)
Kid Flash 2 (Bart)
These for were original members of YJ. Later on Captain Marvel Jr did join as did Beast Boy and Flamebird (as temporary fill ins after Sins of Youth)
I think Vee has them all. Supergirl turned up as well for a crossover but never actually joined, whereas CM3, Changeling and Flamebird all did.
The Teen Titans were originally composed of "sidekicks" of some JLA members. Name all of the "sidekicks" of adult DC heroes that have been members of the Titans in it's various incarnations.
If I'm taking your use of 'sidekick' to mean 'junior versions of adult heroes' correctly then -
Robin I
Kid Flash I
Wonder Girl I
Aqualad
and
Speedy
are the obvious ones from the original team.
Robin III
Kid Flash II
Wonder Girl II
and
Superboy
are the obvious ones from the current team.
Golden Eagle
Captain Marvel Jr
Aquagirl
Robin II
and
Flamebird/Bat-Girl
could also all fall into this category.
I think you've got all the ones I was thinking of Blacula. The only other one that sort of fit (although admitedly it's a bit of a stretch) is Changeling/Beast Boy from when he was with the Doom Patrol.
Take it away B!
Who were the only pre-Titans Hunt Titans that we never saw captured, or attempted to be captured, by the Wildebeest Society during the Titans Hunt?
Titans Hunt = Reason I Dropped the Titans, so my memory is a bit fuddled.
To be completely anal and tacky, the Wildebeests's skipped the dead ones, which at the time includes: Aqua Girl, Dove I, Robin II, Gnaark, Terra I.
Duela Dent, Protector (from the Anti-Drug issues & Who's Who), Speedy, Azrael, Flamebird, Hawk, Dove II, Thunder & Lightning, and Lillith were former Titan members/allies also absent from the Titans Hunt, I think (it's hazy - no idea how it ended).
Bumblebee, Herald and Chris King have the unique position of being mentioned in the thought balloon but never appearing on-panel in the rockets the Titans are strapped into. This stood out because they depict every other person mentioned, including (I think) Magenta, but skip on nude shots of Mal, Karen and Chris. (And of course I wanted to see how Mal was holding up with his former boxing title and all. For artistic reasons. Ahem.)
Andy - you should have kept reading! We got to see a naked Mal (as well as Karen and Chris and all the rest of the captured Titans) when the souls of Azareth posessed them and turned them against the last remaining "free" Titans at the end of the 'Hunt'!
Unfortunately there were some handy plumes of smoke everywhere to protect everyone's modesty... but it was still pretty racy. Mal may have retired but it looks like he's definitely kept up his boxing training!
There were 5 (still living) Titans that the Wildebeests never went for whom I had in mind for this question...
You got -
* Harlequin (who had dropped out of comics during this period)
* Speedy (who disappeared just before the Hunt started and then popped up again afterward as Arsenal)
* Flamebird (who's non-metahuman status meant she would have been worthless to the Wildebeests anyway, even though they still captured Mal and Karen - go figure)
and
* Lilith (who did appear during the 'War of the Gods' crossover part of the Hunt but for some reason was forgotten by the Wildebeests)
- I don't consider Protector a Titan.
- I wasn't thinking about Titan-allies like Thunder and Lightning, Azrael and Dove II when I posted the question but since other Titan-allies like Magenta and Chris King were included in the story I guess I should've. Kudos for remembering them.
- In the final issue of Hawk and Dove the Wildebeests were shown trying (and failing) to capture Hawk.
That leaves one (fairly prominent) Titan missing from the list. However, since my memory isn't as strong on him as it was the others, and since you got all the others anyway I may as well reveal him -
* Flash (I'm quite sure he wasn't one of the captured ones and I don't think we ever saw any attempts on him in his own series)
(By the way I almost included Troia on this list because she was away with Wonder Woman when the Hunt started, but then remembered that the Wildebeests went for her when she got back - only for her to be captured by the Greek Gods for 'War of the Gods' first. Phew! That girl can't get a break!)
Take it away Andy!
LOL -- u know that storyline was so befuddled and bewildering, the creative team barely kept track of it
(now i have to dig up Titans back-issues to see Mal naked -- it better be worth it, Blacula, or I'll have to Wildebeest-hunt you!)
Oh, and Mal and Karen have GOT to have some kind of latent meta-gene -- popping out of comics limbo in a steady stream of meta-related kidnap stories (i desperately hope their meta-gene isn't that they were the only black people who could join the Titans pre-Wolfman, which historically *might* be considered a superpower considering the era)
Now, for my question...
Dr. Light was a common JLA foe who went up against the Teen Titans. What other JLAer Rogues battled the Titans?
Hmmm, I can only think of Gorilla Grodd and Vandal Savage.
- The Royal Flush Gang are JLA villains who fought the Titans.
- IQ and the Gentleman Ghost (Hawkman villains) also popped up in one story.
- Blue Devil's villain, Shockwave, appeared during Faerbar's run.
... that's all I can think of for now.
gorilla grodd & vandal savage are perhaps the biggest
Royal Flush Gang, IQ, Gentleman Ghost are definitely there
Shockwave counts in a minor way even though he's utterly lame & blue devil's league membership was completely forgettable IMO
There's a key Bat-villain missing from your list:
Blacula or Vee - whichever one of you gets it, gets the question
I've been racking my brains trying to think of who this might be... and I finally got it!
And its so obvious too - TWO-FACE! That issue that had him on the cover holding his gun to Duela Dent's head was the first issue I ever bought of Teen Titans vol. I. I don't know how I forgot it.
Assuming I'm right I'll go ahead with the next question, and I'll make it an easy one too -
Who were the original members of the Fearsome Five?
Dr. Light, Shimmer, Mammoth, Gizmo, & Psimon
Correctamundo. You're up Quislet.
Which Titans were featured in the 1967-69 animated foray?
yes, blacula, you got it
i was kinda surprised you missed 2-face
one of my favorite issues, he had a great gang of meta-powered twins (Flamesplasher and Splashflamer were particularly priceless) PLUS it was the big reveal of Duela which was also cool (as i thought Bumblebee, Wonder Girl and the Joker's Daughter were the best things about comics at the time -- and yes, i wanted to hang with them, not date them)
QUISLET - that was in the series of goofy (fabulous) cartoons that seemed to move by some strange constantly repeating backgrounds and posing, right? it was Wonder Girl, Kid Flash, Aqua Lad and Speedy, i think
(never knew why Robin was absent in this version of the TT)
That's the one Andy and the Titans. Apparently there were only three made. I assume they didn't use Robin because he was appearing in the Batman cartoon at the time.
thanks, quislet
Who would have been the 1st gay Titan?
Perez has been pretty clear Jericho isn't gay in interviews (the way he talks, Joey could be some kind of personal avatar representing Perez himself in his imagination -- i shuddered too)
and while Aqualad's creators are often 'in the life', he's firmly established (as much as aquatic types can be) as hetero
personally, I always find it a bit TIRED when the boy i likes runs off to join the married couples & parents establishment ... i have to wait longer for his return ... sigh
i'm thinking of someone who WOULD have been a Titan who's gay (as in was a proposed member of a Titans team)
t's not Hero Cruz is it? He's the only Titan that I can think of who is definately gay (as stated in the comic) but I'm not sure he even really counts as a full Titan.
Oh hang on, hasn't Phil Jimenez said that Terra I (or possibly II, I forget) was meant to be gay but they never revealed it before Zero Hour came along. Is that who you're thinking of? A character who wasn't stated to be gay in the comics but the creators have confirmed that they were intended to be.
Hero Cruz it is! He was supposed to be part of a new Titans West, but Jay Faerber never got his new series off the ground.
Go for it, Bevis!
let's try this again:
Hero Cruz it is! He was supposed to be part of a new Titans West, but Jay Faerber never got his new series off the ground.
Go for it, Bevis!
OK time's up. I'm just gonna ask the next question to get the game moving again -
Who built the original Titans Tower?
I am thinking HIVE originally built Titans Tower.
If memory serves - H.I.V.E. agents may have been disguised as the construction workers of the Tower at the beginning of Devin Grayson's series (and don't get me started on how stupid an idea that was) but, as Vee guessed, the original Tower was indeed built by Cyborg's Dad, Silas Stone.
Vee - Go Go Go!
What was the codename of the Japanese super youth that the Titans encountered during their first run (similar storyline to the Leonid/original Starfire/Red Star one) and where/when did we see him again?
which first run are you referring to?
there was Bushido who later appeared in Faerber's Titans LA attempt at the back-end of an Annual
but his first appearance was recent (at least as i would consider recent)
Originally posted by 235 - Andy S:

Nope. By first run I meant...well their first run
(Just messing with you Andy. I'm refering to the original Teen Titans series in the 60s-70s)
No idea what the answer is but can't wait to find out! Hats off to you Vee - didn't think there were many Titans-related questions that could stump me. Damn those holes in my Teen Titans vol. I run!
Based on the two posts above, I went back to find the issue number I was referring to in my question...only to discover that I've completely deluded myself!
Let me explain. I was recently rereading the entire Crisis on Infinite Earths series and noticed an exchange involving the new Doctor Light and another Japanese hero (Sunburst). Sunburst dies defending the world from Shadow Demons. (Crisis #12)
This exchange reminded me of (what I thougt was) Sunburst earliest appearnce. Unfortunately, there was no such appearance. I now realize I was confusing Sunburst in my mind with the very first appearnce of this guy...
and confusing one super powered teen group with another.
My apologies for the confusion and for stalling the thread. I guess I shouldn't trust to (obviously faulty) memory when dealing with obscure references.
Blacula, I'll give the next question to you since your response got me to do the research and discover my error.
How funny! And there I was thinking how globe-trotting the original Teen Titans were. Guess they didn't make it to Japan after all.
But don't worry Vee. I don't know how many times I've asked a question and then said a secret prayer that someone wasn't going to come along and say that my answer for it was completely wrong.
OK next question (and from an era we haven't really delved much into in this thread so far) -
The H'San Natall bred 9 children to be their sleeper agents on Earth. Of these 9, 6 have been identified. Name them please.
Fringe
Prism
Joto
Risk
Argent
and...
Scorcher?
Jeez. That was quick! Thought this rather unloved era might stump people for a little while longer. Well done though, Danny - you're up.
Speaking of that era, when the identity of Omen was revealed, the Titans saw him/her as various former Titans. Who were those Titans?
I can think of 3 of them - Lilith, Raven and Phantasm. Can't remember who the 4th was though. I'll guess... Mal?
to remind Danny Blaine.
If not Mal, I'll guess... Kole?
OK look like Danny Blaine's gone AWOL. Since I know I got 3 of the 4 right I'll just ask another question to get this thread moving again.
Which Fab 5 Titan is related to a Golden-Age hero? Name them both please.
Roy (Speedy) Harper is related (cousins or unlce/nephew) to Jim (Guardian) Harper
Correctamundo Quislet. Your question.
The Titans gave up their superpowers after causing the death of a man of peace. They then got a mentor/benefactor. What was the mentor/benefactor's name?
Mr. Jupiter is the answer. Your question, Vee
In Titans history there have been various incarnations of the Titans West with a varied line up. Name all of Titan West members that appear in the current TT dark future story arc?
The Titans West members in the current dark future story are -
Superman (Superboy)
Wonder Woman (Wonder Girl II)
Batman (Robin III)
Flash (Kid Flash II)
Animal Man (Beast Boy)
Aquawoman (Aquagirl II)
Dark Raven (Raven)
????
Who was the first super-villian the Wolfman-Perez Titans fought?
Didn't they battle a protoplasmic creature in the DC NTT tie-in?
Not Trigon, although presumably that is why they were gathered together by Raven.
And yes they first fought a protoplasmic creature, but I wouldn't classify the creature as a super-villian. It didn't have a name and not even a thought balloon. So there is doubt to it sentience.
Well, in the first issue they fought the Gordanians, but they were a race, not a villain.
My guess would be the Ravenger (Deathstroke's son, Grant Wilson). I believe they fought him in issue #2.
That's the correct answer Spellbinder.
This one might be a bit of a challenge:
In the original Teen Titans series, the Fiddler appears to kidnap two of the acts competing in the Battle of the Bands. Name either (or both for extra credit
) of these two acts. Hint: they are based on real-life acts that were popular at the time
One was the Woodworkers ( a version of the Carpenters). I forget what the other band was called but it was a version of Paul McCartney & Wings. The surprize ending was that both bands were the same people.
Okay, so it was no challenge whatsoever
You're up, Quis!
What was the name of the show that Beast Boy starred in?
Bonus if you know his character's name and who he was supposed to remind you of.
Gar's character's name was Tork and he was supposedly based on Mr. Spock. The show was called (i think)"Space Trek 2029"
Correction: the show was called "Space Trek 2022"
you have it LAM. Your question is...?
Cheers, kind sir...
What was the name of the disco where the Teen Titans first met Lilith?
Kee-rect, Kid Chaos! Well Done!
You're up!
Cool!
OK, I can't think of a good one, so here's an easy:
In what professional sport did Flamebird's secret identity find fame?
That's right LAM!
You're ball!
Thanks KC!
What was the name of the sorceress who was allegedly Aqualad's "girlfriend" but, who had him under her spell?
I think it might be time for a clue here LAM. If this is a refernece to that unresolved story in Teen Titans #36 then I know the story you're talking about but I have no idea what her name was... and titanstower.com doesn't have it listed either!
Give u a tiny hint, Blacula - her surname was McDuff...
Oh wait - I know the story you're thinking of now... I think.
I remember a story where it was revealed that Aquaman had sent Aqualad to attend boarding school in Scotland (and in retrospect, how random is that!). I can't remember the details but if her name was McDuff then she must have come from that tale.
I'll have to look up the answer and get back to you LAM, unless someone else can beat me to it.
Nope, Quis...Another hint - her father was called Black Moray...
I don't think anyone knows the answer to your question LAM.
Try asking a new one to get the game rolling again.
I'm not sure what happened to LAM.
I think you should have the next question Calybos
Calybos, you are correct - you are up!
This should be pretty easy: Who (or what) was Phantasm revealed to be at the end of the Titans Hunt?
Danny Chase? and then Arella + Danny Chase + people of Azarath thats what I believed at the end of the story where evil lesbian Raven "killed" him...?
Yes, and at that point we might as well have been reading Alpha Flight, so the hell with it.
Moving on....
for superboymddjr to see
Well, in order to get this thread moving again, I'll throw out a new question.
Who was the Protector and how did he come into existence?
The Protector was actually supposed to be Nightwing in a "don't do drugs" give-away issue of the Titans. For some licensing reason, they weren't able to use the Nightwing character, so they re-inked the issue and called Nightwing "Protector"
Absolutely correct, Quis! You're up.
hmmmmmm
Ok this might be obscure.
The Teen Titans appeared in an issue of Brave & the Bold with Batman. In the story, Wonder Girl uses a power that she really doesn't have. This power was only shown on the Wonder Woman TV show. What is this power?
Changing her costume by spinning around really quickly?
She uses her lasso to make felons tell the absolute truth??
Nope
A hint: in the TV series, Wonder Woman was shown to have this power, but it was never a power she had in the comics.
Nope.
Shall I flip all the cards and reveal the answer?
Yes please. *sad little puppy eyes*
In this issue of Brave & Bold, Wonder Girl was shown imitating someone else's voice. In this case, the villian's. The Batcomputer identified it as Commissioner Gordon's. (Batman then deduced that the villian was using a taped versionn of Commissioner Gordon's voice)
Wonder Woman did this a couple of times on the TV show and never in the comics (as far as I know).
OK, someone else can ask the next question
What issue of B&B is this from?
I believe it is issue 149
Okay, guess I'll ask a question to get things moving again.
Lots of Titans have gone through changes over the years (and we won't get into Donna's history!
) but Victor Stone has changed quite a bit even for a Titan. How many different versions of Vic have we seen? Describe them please.
There was the original Cyborg. Half man-half machine. Then there was the fully robotic one. (that one was a winner) Then there was the one where he was part alien metal (and could look fully human)
He's back to the original form now. I don't know how and I don't care.
And for a brief period, he had plastic implants that made him look entirely human.
And we saw his original, fully human form in flashbacks.
Was the alien-metal phase the same as the all-gold guy? And there was the cyber-planetoid, Cyberian I think it was called.
Cyborg/Vic also had a different look during the Grummett/Vey run - is this also relevant?
I think Quis & Calybos covered all of them (or at least all those I can remember) Since Calybos got the more obscure ones, I'll give the next question to him.
Here's a softball: Name five or more of the future-based Team Titans.
Terra, Mirage, Redwing, the vampire-looking guy and Kilowatt?
Yes, but we'll need a name for the "vampire-looking guy," or else another Team Titan.
The vampire looking guy was Dagon and there was also Battalion, Prestor John and, Deathwing and the other teams of Team Titans.
Okay, here's an easy one
Who were the heroes in the original Titans West? (Teen Titans v1 #50-52 I think.)
Lash could answer this in a heartbeat!
Hawk & Dove
Flamebird (aka Bat-Girl)
Golden Eagle
Beast Boy
Lilith
Good but you're missing at least two that i can think of.
Are you thinking about Mal & Bumblebee? Because they were part of Titans East when Titans West first appeared.
The only other Titans West member I can think of would be Gnaark (sp?)
Gnaark would be one!
HINT: The other one I'm thinking of is a huge favorite of Lash's
Duela Dent (aka Harlequin) was definitely part of Titans East during this storyline if that's who you were thinking of Vee. Here was the breakdown of members -
Titans East :
Robin, Kid Flash, Aqualad, Wonder Girl, Speedy, Mal, Bumblebee and Harlequin.
Titans West :
Golden Eagle, Lilith, Hawk, Dove, Beast Boy, Gnaark and Flamebird.
I was thinking of Duela, but I checked and Blacula is right. So Quis is up since he got all of them.
Thanks for correcting me Blacula. I shouldn't depend on memory alone after all these years
OK
What other comic book series spun out of the Teen titans? (By "spun out of" I mean, the character first appeared in the Teen Titans and then got his/her/their own series) I can think of 2.
Oh and I don't mean characters created just to be spun-off into a new series (i.e. Team Titans)
Hawk & Dove
Deathstroke The Terminator?
You are correct for one title.
Nope. Damage had his own title long beore joining the Titans.
Are you being sneaky Quis? Could the other series be Nightwing?
Nightwing certainly qualifies.
Beast Boy and Donna Troy also got their own minis, but I doubt you're counting miniseries.
Originally posted by Calybos:
Beast Boy and Donna Troy also got their own minis, but I doubt you're counting miniseries.
BB wouldn't qualify anyway: he first appeared in
Doom Patrol years before joining the Titans.
I'm not sure if the Donna-Troy-version of Wonder Girl was original to the Titans or not ...
Vigilante (Adrian Chase) and Anima are 2 Titans related characters that graduated to their own series'.
How is Anima related to the Titans?
If it really fits the citeria (which if I wasn't clear is: the character originated in the Teen Titans series (thus I really wouldn't count Nightwing) and then got their own series (not mini) and as I said, I am not counting characters that were introduced in order to start a new sries (i.e. Team Titans) )then Blacula gets the question. The two I was thinking of were Deathstroke and Vigilante.
Didn't remember Vigilante.
Good question Quis.
Anima first appeared in the New Titans Bloodlines Annual.
Well I don't think of that as a true spin off, do you?
You and Vee both got one correct. So you can fight over who gets the next question.
Originally posted by Quislet, Esq.:
What other comic book series spun out of the Teen titans? (By "spun out of" I mean, the character first appeared in the Teen Titans and then got his/her/their own series)
I'd say Anima fits the paramaters of this question perfectly.
...
Thanks Vee but I've got a plane to catch in a few hours and will be without a computer for about a month. The floor is yours.
After Crisis on Infinite Earths most but not all of the Team Titans were wiped from continuity. Which ones remained and what explanation was given for their existence?
Zero Hour
It was then revealed that the Team Titans leader in the future was the villainous Monarch - who created a false future world so he could train meta-humans (The Team Titans) to act as sleeper agent assassins. He knew of the impending time crisis, and wanted a super-powered army at his command. The time-villain Extant commanded all the Team Titans to attack the heroes who were trying to unravel this time crisis. His plan was thwarted; the heroes contained the Teamers. Time continued to collapse, erasing the false timelines that had emerged. As a result, all the Team Titans were erased from existence.
Strangely enough, three people remained unscathed from Monarch's false timeline: Tara Markov (Terra II), Miriam Delgado (Mirage) and Deathwing (who was believed to be a future Dick Grayson). Terra and Mirage remained members of a new Titans team, led by Arsenal (Roy Harper). Shortly after the team was reformed, a strange orb appeared, with messages for Mirage and Terra.
The orb was sent by the Time Trapper. The Time Trapper revealed that Mirage, Deathwing and Terra were from this timeline, not an alternate timeline, as they had thought. All three had been implanted with false memories by the Time Trapper and turned into "sleeper agents" who would fight the villainous Monarch in the coming Zero Hour event.
Great answer LAM. You're up!
Cheers, Vee....Here's one for the New Teen Titans fans...Name the villainness whose name is identical to that of a member of a now-defunct super-team.
Maybe it's time for a hint?
I think you are talking about Harlequin
Nope. Here's another clue: Her super-hero name was the same as a famous historical figure
That must be right Kent, but I haven't a clue what hero team had someone by that name. SOmeone will have to fill me in.
I will, Vee...Godiva was a member of the Global Guardians who first appeared in an issue of SUPER FRIENDS...
that's right... I didn't remember a TT villain by the name, tho. TT isn't really my strong suit anymore, but here goes...
What TT creative person once jokingly prophecized that his son would one day be creatively involved on a comic called, "the Middle-Aged Titans"?

I'm not certain, Kent, but I think Godiva (who looked a little like Quicksand-with-a-white-streak-in-her-hair) debuted around the same time as Danny Chase did - or did his debut occur first?

Marv Wolfman?
Kent!!!
Sorry!
no correct answers yet, but guesses are falling in the right era.
Dick Giordano?
Romeo Tanghal?
Romeo's the dude. Take 'er away!
OK easy one this time.
Who is Frances Kane?
Introduced in NTT 17, she was a young girl who found she had the ability to attract magnetic fields. She and Kid Flash had a sort-of relationship which fizzled quickly in view of Wally's infatuation with Raven. Later, when Frances aided the Titans against the minions of Brother Blood, she adopted the code-name of "Magenta" and wore a costume which obscured her face...and...
Is this enough info for you, Blacula?
Good to see another Magenta fan on here LAM.
Next question's yours.
Cool!
Here's a puzzler for the old-time Titans fans...
a) Name the place where Wonder Girl was possessed
b) Name the spell-caster
I can't remember the details but this is the issue LAM is thinking about -
http://www.comics.org/coverview.lasso?id=24413&zoom=4 Great issue. Great era!
A. Dog Island?
B. Miss Wickham?
C. I remember the ghost's name was Gregori. Does that get me anything?
LAM isn't around anymore I don't think Jim so go ahead and ask the next question. And well done for remembering all that info!
Does that mean I was right?
When the Titans met the 4 Horsemen of the Apocalypse, who was the only Titan to meet "War" and who were the only 3 Titans to meet "Famine"?
Well, I doublechecked the last answer last night and it turns out that it was Miss Wickersham, not Miss Wickham. Magda Wickersham, AKA Magda Drachwyck to be precise.
This question has stagnated long enough. The answer is:
Kid Flash was the only Titan to meet War and Lilith, Mal, and Speedy were the only ones to meet Famine.
Here's a followup question. What was ironic about the backup story in that issue (TT #37) and no, I don't mean that they miscolored Green Arrow/Robin Hood's costume with Speedy's colors.
Is anybody else still playing this game?
It is just that recalling particular stories by issue number is not one of my strong suits.
I'll read the story...and try to answer it, Jim.
OK, just read it. Umm...it is ironic that Oliver Queen went to school in Smallville?
Nope.
By ironic, I mean in how it relates to the lead story.
Jim, are you referring to the fact that all of the bad guys were horsemen?
You're on the right track but there's more to it than that.
Dammit Jim! I'm a doctor, not a comic-book geek! Oh, wait a minute...
Okay, I'm about to split and won't be back here until Monday, so I'll spill the beans and give Lance the next question.
In both stories, the heroes faced each of 4 legendary horsemen, one at a time, each of whom rode a different colored horse and carried a different weapon. 3 of the horse colors were even the same (red, yellow, black) and 2 of the weapons were too (sword, torch). Okay, in the 2nd story it was crooks disguised as legendary horsemen, but you get the drift.
I wonder if this reprinted story was chosen specifically for this reason. It's hard to believe the powers that be of the day had that much on the ball, but why else would they reprint a Superboy/Green Arrow story in a Teen Titans comic?
Jim, I suspect the Titans story was cannibalized from the Green Arrow story. This would explain the similarities.
Back with a Titans question as soon as I steal one from earlier in the thread...
OK, here we go...
When Beast Boy first tried to join the Teen Titans, he was not allowed to join. Why not?
His guardian refused to give his permission.
That's it, Quis. I picked this issue (TT #6, I think) up cheap last weekend. Your question, sir.
OK, I picked up the Showcase Presents: the Teen Titans.
In the first appearance, Robin, Kid Flash, & Aqualad fight Mr. Twister. Mr. Twister was making a demand on the town of Happy Harbor. What was the specific demand and what was to be the replacement if the specific demand was not met?
By the terms of the original contract with Twister's ancestor, the town had to give him a passenger pigeon feather every year.
If that was not supplied, the town had to provide "a youth" for a year's service to him. By the time Twister showed up, a LOT of feathers or kids were owed since the last payment.
Yep, that's it. Also the story mentions the fact that the passenger pigeon became extinct in 1912.
Your question Calybos
Okay, here's a trick question: In an early adventure, the Titans met a displaced-in-time youth known as the "Million Year-Old Teenager."
What was his name?
Quislet's got it; he took a more modern name too (which I forget--Hans something?).
Gnaark was the distraction; he's the Titans' most FAMOUS caveman associate, but not the "Million Year-Old Teenager."
Quislet seems to be MIA, so until he rejoins us, I propose a new question:
Which Titan has met the Loch Ness Monster?
Well, I'll guess Aqualad, but that's too obvious...
Obvious but correct. I thought that would be an easy one. He met the monster in the 2nd Mad Mod encounter I believe. Odd that he didn't mention that to the other Titans when they were hunting the monster in issue #40(?) . . .
I'll let Lance continue as I don't have a good question (heck I don't even have a bad question)
Actually, neither do I, Quis. Look, I am just gonna leave the floor open. First person who wants to ask a question gets it, ok?
Where did the Titans first meet Lilith and what was she doing there?
Can't remember what it was called but she was a go-go dancer in a club in an ever so groovy kind of way.
Close enough. I believe it was the Canary Club disco and she danced in a cage. Carry on.
Dammit, now I have to think of a question...
What was Flamebird's perfect world as created by Technis had captured all the Titans?
Not familar with the story, but I would say her perfect world would have included her being married to Robin/Nightwing and/or being the tennis champion of the world.
So very, very close, but not quite...
I think it was her playing tennis against a whole bunch of Robins. And winning, of course. (Not sure about that last part, it just seemed to fit
)
Can we have a delay of game penalty on this thread? 9 days is too long for one question IMHO. Somebody ask a new question, please.
I'm pretty sure I.B.'s answer was correct.
P.S. I agree with Jim re: the time limit on confirming whether someone's got the right answer or not. These Trivia Games just grind to a dead halt otherwise.
Very true. As a mod here, I'll PM Bevis; if we don't here back by Sunday (that long only because there is not currently a rule and I'm hesitant to be too unilateral), then it's IBby's question.
I'll also consult Nightcrawler and my fellow mods, and hopefully announce a standard rule for all trivia threats tout de suite.
oops, my bad. I'd completely forgotten that I still had an open question here so it's a good thing Kent mailed me. Needless to say though IB has it right.
Okay, it's now been 14 days since the last question. I'm taking the law into my own hands in order to get this thread moving again:
Who was Cerebella?
Sounds like a cheap female knock-off of the Brain.
But I have no clue
Did Lilith go by this once?
Sort of. Can you be more specific?
Okay, time is up. Cerebella was the Lilith of an alternate timeline inadvertantly created by Kid Flash and Mal when they traveled to the past and accidentally killed the historically significant Gnarrk. Why the timeline reverted to normal when Gnarrk was brought into the future instead of killed makes no sense to me, but those are the breaks.
Hey! Maybe they're the ones behind all this reboot madness!
Lance, your turn at bat.
OK...a 2-part question...
In what comic did the Teen Titans originally appear?
In what comic did the New Teen Titans first appear?
I don't need issue numbers, just the title of the comics.
The Original Teen Titans (Robin, Aqualad, & Kid Flash) first appeared in Brave & Bold. I believe that the trio was joined by Wonder Girl in Showcase next.
The New Teen Titans first appeared in a special preview insert in DC Comics Presents.
That's it, Quislet. Take it...
Name the Titans who have also been members of the Justice League.
The Atom, the Flash (Wally), and Kyle Rainor (Green Lantern)?
Plus Nightwing during the Obsidian Age rubbish. I'm pretty sure Starfire and Troia have been shown in panels where they call in the Reserves as well but I don't think either of them have actually been given full JLA membership as part of a story.
Jim & Bevis do have them all. In one sense, I would count Nightwing as a partial right answer seeing as his membership really only covered one story. I tend to think you aren't truly a member of a group unless you appear in several stories. And definitely not a member when they have a big fight and you are a called in hero.
Also Starfire was a "member" of the JLA: Justice League of Aliens. I can't remember if Donna was in the Justice League of Amazons and/or Garth in the Justice League of Atlantis. Again, I would not count these as they were just a one story gimmick.
Seeing as Jim got the most and the main ones, it is his question.
Who was Nirka McDuff?
I'd forgotten she had a last name, which is a major clue.
Okay, it's been 3 days and no one's even touched this question.
Nirka McDuff was a sea witch who enthralled Aqualad by order of her father in TT #40.
Somebody ask a new question.
Jim, I knew where this could be found; unfortunately, I do not have that issue. I'll ask an easy one:
Who were the original 3 Teen Titans?
Robin, Kid Flash & Aqualad
The Teen Titans were ofetn called the Junior JLA in the early days and it's original membership consisted exclusively of sidekicks/protoges of major DC heroes. As time progressed that format morphed to include non sidekicks. List all the sidekicks that have been members over the years.
Ok, I'll take a stab at this, but I haven't read Titans in years. Anyway...
Robin - Batman
Kid Flash - Flash
Aqualad - Aquaman
Speedy - Green Arrow
Wonder Girl - Wonder Woman
Great start Lance but there are still more
Also the new Wonder Girl (Cassie Sandsmark), the new Robin (Tim Drake), the new Speedy (Mia Dearden), the old Batgirl, Flamebird (arguably a teen sidekick to other teen sidekicks!), Duela Dent (ditto)...
Beast Boy, of course, was a sidekick to the Doom Patrol. Kid Devil tried to be Blue Devil's sidekick. Superboy wasn't technically a sidekick, but he was a "junior Superman" of sorts. Some of the Team Titans were teenagers, but unless you count their mentors Deathwing and Monarch, they weren't sidekicks to anyone.
Let's see, Aquagirl was an honorary Titan only. Impulse was a sidekick Flash for a long time. Golden Eagle was mentored by Hawkman briefly, so he might count. And Captain Marvel Jr. was even a Titan when the teen Atom led the team. I don't recall Bumblebee or the Herald ever doing the sidekick bit, so that's all my guesses.
Excellent Calybos you got most of the ones I'm thinking of but not all!
I would say the Flamebird (aka Bat-Girl) was the sidekick of Batwoman. But who was Duela Dent a sidekick to? I actually don't see Impulse or Golden Eagle as sidekicks because I don't remember them actually taking part in the adventures of Flash or Hawkman (respectively) Ditto Donna Troy.
More sidekicks:
Supergirl
Ravager (Deathstroke's sidekick)
Those were the one's that were missing Quis. Good job!
I'll give the next question to Calybos because he got the largest number right. BTW, I wouldn't count the Team Titans as sidekicks, nor Duela Dent but I would count Impulse (both as a sidekick of Max Mercury and Flash (Wally).
You're up Calybos
Of the "Founding Five" (Speedy, Aqualad, Wonder Girl, Robin, Kid Flash), whose given name was revealed last (in 1984)?
um, scratch that..you must be referring to the "Who is Donna Troy?" story, so I'll change my guess to Wonder Girl.
I think you were right the first time, Lance. Donna's name was given in TT#22 I believe, which came out in '69. Aqualad's name, Garth, wasn't revealed until much later.
Yes, Lance was right... although Donna's name WAS withheld for a long stretch after her first appearance. But nothing compared to Garth's.
Your turn, Lance.
UM, ok, even though I think it should be Jim's question because I changed my answer. Oh, and I don't think we found out that Donna's given name was really Donna until the "Who is Donna Troy" story - but I could be mistaken. Here we go...
Who was the first person to try to be a Teen Titan, only to be rejected?
That's it - take it Quis...
OK let me think of a good question and I'll post it tomorrow. (My usual internet access is unavailable and I am on the Boston Public library's 15 minute access)
OK Name all the Titans who had a villian for a parent.
I am thinking of three of which there is no question and three in which ret-conning effects the answer.
Gar Logan's adoptive father, Steve Dayton, was a villainous Mento, but I'm not sure that counts.
Jericho's and Rose Wilson's (Ravager's) father is the Terminator, of course. And Raven's the daughter of Trigon.
Joker's Daughter, Duela Dent, was originally "revealed" to be Two-Face's daughter; then later announced it was impossible; then retconned into perhaps being Wildebeest's daughter; now nobody knows for sure, except that she IS the daughter of some villain or other.
Bart (Impulse, Kid Flash) Allen is the son of Don Allen, one half of the Legion's onetime foes the Tornado Twins. But they weren't really villainous.
And finally, Toni (Argent) Monetti is the daughter of a wealthy drug dealer. Not a supervillain, but definitely a bad guy nonetheless.
P.S.: Whoops, almost forgot! The late Superboy was the genetic offspring/clone of Lex Luthor as well as Superman.
Calybos, you got the three that I said were no question (Jerico, Ravager, & Raven)
You are right about Duela Dent, but not the other ret-con ones. I knew Argent was the daughter of a drug dealer, but like you I don't count that as a villian (in comic book terms) Nor would Bart's father count as a villian (or even a foe really) And I am not counting his mother who is supposed to be a member of the Reverse Flash family.
I would say that Mento was not so much villianous as affected by his helmet (Although the same can be said about Two-Face not being villianous but suffering from mental problems)
I also forgot about Kon-el.
So there are two more ret-con effected characters that I am thinking about. Does anyone want to guess?
In regaards to the question/game, Calybos did answer the lion share and has the next question.
I'll take a stab at it and guess the final two are Lilith (mother Thia of the Titans of Myth) and Baby Wildebeast? A third possibility (hedging my bets
) is Golden Eagle (son of a Thangarian renegade)
Golden Eagle is the other I was thinking of. Lilith & Baby Wilderbeest are not the ones I was thinking. And wasn't Baby Wilderbeest a clone with no identified genetic parentage?
Shall I say who the last one is?
I'd say you stumped us. Go ahead.
Wally West's father was revealed to be a Manhunter.
Talk about a group of kids from disfunctional families! Holy Moly! No wonder they get into so much trouble and wind up getting themselves killed!
I really hated the ret-con on Wally's parents because I really loved the scene with his parents in the "Day in the Life of..." issue.
Sorry, folks, I'm busy at school today. If I get a chance tomorrow, I'll post a question; otherwise, someone feel free to take my turn.
Here we go!
In what Titans issue or story did Michael Jackson appear?
TT #50 - the wedding of Donna and Terry?
Correct--and in record time! Well done, Lance.
OK....an easy one...
Who was the mastermind behind Flamesplasher's crimes?
OK, a hint...Flamesplasher had a twin...
I don't remember either Flamesplasher or his/her twin.
As for the mastermind, I'll guess Deathstroke
nope...Flamesplasher appeared near the end of the Titans first run. Blatant hints tomorrow if no one get it by then.
Twins gives it away for me. Though I don't recall the name Flamesplasher, this had to be one of the 2 groups of costumed villains organized by Two Face to attack NYC and Gotham.
That's it! It was Two-face up to his dual shenanigans. Take it, Vee! (I thought the twins part would give it away...)
Getting the answers wrong is easier...then I don't have to come up with a good question!
Be back in a little bit with one.
Over the years the Titans have had more than their share of loses. How many Titans have died in the line of duty and who are they?
For sures:
Kole
Pantha
Baby Wilderbeest
Bushido (he was the other guy Superboy Prime offed, right?)
Danny Chase
Joto
Kon-el
Iffies:
Donna Troy (although she got better)
Don (Dove) Hall (retroactively considered a Titan)
Hank (Hawk) Hall (ditto on the retroactive part. also didn't actually die in the line of duty)
Jericho (although didn't he become evil when he died?)
Terra (although she was a Titan when she died, she didn't exactly die in the line of duty)
Raven? (didn't she die and get better?)
Supergirl/Matrix (did she die or is she still around?)
Aquagirl (an honorary member)
Quis, I think you got all of those I can think of save two, so you will definitely have the next question.
Regarding your "iffies"
I would count Donna, Don, Jericho (because he was a long time Titan even though he was evil at the time of death), Terra, and Aquagirl. Not counting Hank since it was long after he ceased to be Hawk. Not sure about Raven and I honestly have no clue as to whether Matrix is still around or not but I wouldn't count it in the line of duty.
Hmm who were the other two?
Question time.........
What was the setting for the first meeting between the Teen Titans and Speedy? (that is Roy Harper, not the current Speedy)
Originally posted by Quislet, Esq.:
Hmm who were the other two?
The other two were: Golden Eagle by the Wildebeast Society (although he got better as you put it
) and Lilith (at the same time as Donna) during Graduation Day. I'm surprised you missed that one.

Must have been at an Olympic Games then
Originally posted by Vee:

Without going too long into the complicated history of Matrix/Supergirl (who apparently is no longer in continuity, grr)she's not dead. The Matrix aspect of her is sort of remerged with the Earth Born Angel of love and/or Twilight (I forget exactly) while Linda Danvers (who no longer has any part of Matrix in her physical make-up) retired as Supergirl but still kept her powers. So neither of them actually died, although the Matrix construct sort of did a couple of times (but only after being evil I think).
Originally posted by Vee:

hmmm....Japan? or was it Mexico?
It was Japan.
Your question. Although I should have made you pick one or the other.
Next question: Just as there have been a number of incarnations of the Titans over the years, they have also had a variety of headquarters. List (or describe) all of the Titan HQs.
Well first they had that cave behind the billboard for the Batman TV show. Would you say that Mr. Jupiter's compound was one of their headquarters? Then there was the disco in New York State (I forget the exact town - New Carthage maybe?) Then of course the original Titans Tower in New York City. I think the group lead by the de-aged Atom meet in a penthouse. I never really read the era with Pantha in it so I don't know where they had their headquarters. Finally the current Titans Tower in San Francisco.
The Titans Lair cave
Gabriel's Horn disco
Titans Tower I, New York
I wanna say the Dayton Estate temporarily after the destruction of Titans Tower I
The USS Argus Satellite & the Liberty Island base (during the Arsenal years)
Mr Jupiter's Solar Tower building
Then the arcade (?) after Lilith was revealed to be Omen
Then the new Titans Tower II when the Fab Five reformed the team
Then the current Titans Tower III on the West Coast
You got them all Princess. Next question is yours.
Why did the New Teen Titans go to Paradise Island?
Bonus point if you know which God had the hots for Donna while they were there
hmm...I think they went there to resurrect Gar? and Donna had the hots for...um...what-his-name...I vaguely remmeber this...I am gonna say Eros?
That's close enough
The Amazons used the Purple Ray to heal Gar, who was badly injured.
The god was Hyperion, the Titan God of the Sun.
Ok, here we go...In the first appearance of the New Teen Titans, the adventure is apparently someone's dream. Whose?
That's it, Vee. Your question...
Who were the original members of the the Atom's version of the Titans and what brought them together?
The original Titans were Atom, Risk, Argent, Joto and Prism.
I wanna say that they were hunted down and captured by those aliens that were responsible for them having their powers, you know the ones who experimented on their mothers. I can't remember what they were called, though...
Good enough Princess. You're up.
Which anti-Titans TV personality was also a member of the Church of Brother Blood?
I feel like I'm watching a tennis match!
Next question: WHo designed and built the original Titans Tower?
Ohhh....it was Cyborg's dad...umm...Elias Stone?
Good job...your question.
Crap. Gotta stop answering them...
Ok, here we go....
According tio the Titans cartoon, how many stomachs does a Tamaranian have?
Ok, a hint...it is between 10 and 8. (Please do not wait for confirmation!)
9
Initially, how long could Raven's soulself remain outside her body?
You know, when I asked the question I thought the answer was a minute, but now I think it is an hour.
You mean it isn't six-hundred sixty-six seconds?
Is it my question, or are we going to wait for someone to look it up?
You take it Lance's realm
OK, here we go...
In the Titans' original cave headquarters, the entrance was covered by a billboard. What was advertised on the billboard?
Wasn't it for the Batman TV show?
Okay, easy one coming up.
Let's see who is the fastest.
Who was Donna's first roommate?
OK, another easy one...where was Wonder Girl living before she moved into the apartment with Sharon?
At Titans headquarters, I believe
Wasn't she staying in the Titans Lair cave?
And it's Quislet by a nose! Take it, Quis-master!
Well I don't have a question, so take it away Spellbinder
Hmmm... off the top of my head...
In New Teen Titans, Robin began the quest to find out "Who Is Donna Troy." Her birth mother had died of cancer, but not before Donna was adopted.
Who were her adopted parents? (Name either or both)
Fay Stacey Evans? I think it was during her first marriage, but Donna considers Fay's kids from her second marriage to be "step-siblings" per se.
Sorry! I was on vacation and totally forgot about this thread!
That's correct, Vee
Vacation?
What's that?
Simple one since I'm at work and can't look anything up easily...
Which Titan has had the greatest number of different codenames on the team?
Hmmm.. Most that I can think of is various Titans having two different code names, so none of them could be the one with the most.
I was thinking of Duela Dent, who went by Penguin's Daughter, Riddler's Daughter, Catwoman's Daughter, Joker's Daughter, & Harlequin. Although only the last two were as a Titan.
Another option might be Donna Troy, who has been Wonder Girl, Troia, Darkstar, Donna Troy, Harbinger and now Wonder Woman, although she wasn't an active Titan for all of them.
Both good guesses but each of them only served on the titans under two names (at least that I'm aware of.)
The person to which I'm refering has served as a Titan under three names (maybe four, depending on how you count them
)
Must be Hank Pym!
Oh, wait... wrong company
Now I remember his third name.
Mal, Mal Duncan, Hornblower, & Guardian
You got it Quis. His identities included: Mal (Mal Duncan), Guardian, Hornblower, & Herald. Now of course he is known as Vox (but he's in the Doom patrol not the Titans,at least for now!
)
Mal was an idiot. I mean, getting into a rocket that is supposed to be unmanned is just plain stupid.
OK, Of Nightwing, Wonder Girl, Kid Flash, Changling, Cyborg, Starfire, & Raven, which had jobs outside of being a Titan and what was the job?
Wonder Girl (I assume you mean Donna) was a fashion photographer; Starfire was a fashion model; Changeling might still have been doing movies (not sure); I think Nightwing was a policeman towards the end of their run. Those are the only ones I can think off. Wally didn't become a police mechanic until much later and I don't recall Vic or Raven ever being shown to have jobs.
Wonder Girl and Starfire were the ones I was thinking of. Gar had definitely given up his acting career when he was a Titan. I don't believe Dick became a policeman until after the Titans. And Seeing how he only took that job as part of his work as Nightwing, I would not consider it an outside job.
Kind makes the Titans like the "Real World" roommates who don't need money to live.
Your question Vee.
The Titans are always cannon fodder for any DC event (at seen in IC) so...name the Titans that are still alive.
Okay, Ive stalled the thread long enough with that question so let me change it up in order to get this thread moving again.
Who was the first Titan ever to die?
Well, Wonder Girl, Aqualad and Kid Flash all died temporarily when fighting a gargoyle creature that ruled an evil-spirit realm.
But I'm guessing you mean a more permanent-type of death, lasting more than one story?
Gnaark is the answering to my question. His death is revealed in the Donna Troy wedding arc (in 1984) during a conversation between Mal & Karen with Lilith.
You're up next Princess!
Red Star's fiance, Maladi, was infected with a virus and sent to America. She ended up dying from the virus at the end of the story. What was the significance of the day she died?
It was to be their wedding day.
Is that right? It's been twenty years since I read that story...!
OK, I haven't done this before...
Which Titan was named for a famous jazz musician?
Gotta be Golden Eagle, aka Charley Parker.
Right! Named after jazz great Charlie Parker.
Loren Jupiter? And wasn't her mother the Greek goddess/titan of the sun?
Dunno about her mom - but you are right about her dad. Wonder who came up with that idea? Anyway, take it, KK.
Argent and Freddy Freeman had an ill-fated romance that ended almost before it began. What went wrong on their first date?
Hint: It was CM3's fault.
He wouldn't say his name?
I know that's always been a problem for Junior....
Heh! No, but that would've been good.
Didn't he not show up? I can't really remember, but it seems as though he didn't show up for some reason.
He showed up.
Hint: Are there pockets in that costume?
He didn't have any money on him and Argent had to pay for everything?
That's it. Europe, Quislet.
Why didn't Supergirl originally join the Teen Titans?
Because only one token female is allowed in a super group? Or because then it would be even harder to find ways to make Aqualad useful?
And I was so sure it had to be one of those...hmmm...was Donna jealous since she wouldn't have all the guys to herself? (The little tramp!)
Because she was an angel and couldn't be in a group with Trigon's daughter?
Was she even still a teenager when the Teen Titans were formed?
Nope & Nope.
Hint: Lance's realm was on the right track with his guesses.
I was!? Wow! I mean, of course I was! I knew it all the time!
Supergirl was interested in Kyle and didn't want to be around him and Donna?
If this is right it's just because Lance's realm led me there.
Of course, if I guessed wrong then I totally blame Lance's realm.
I also blame him for poor life-choices I've made in the past...
Blame Lance's Realm then.
To clarify, I am talking about the original Teen Titans (Robin, Kid Flash, Wonder Girl, & Aqualad)
I really thought this would be an easy question.
No problem, Krypton Kid. I'll take the blame. Hey, maybe that could be my codename - Scapegoat Kid! Wonder what my powers are...?
Was afraid she would overpower the group? I really don't remember this story...
The reason is not story related.
She was already in the LSH?
Nope. But you are getting closer to the reason.
OK, I think I've sussed it. At the time of the formation of the Teen Titans Supergirl was still Superman's "secret weapon".
Hm, except I think that qualifies as "story related". Well, I'll put it out there anyway.
I thought of that as well, but then I realized Supergirl's "debut" was a couple of years before the Titans first came together.
OK, then I suppose TPTB didn't want to overexpose the Super franchise.
By the way guys, you can call me Lance. Lance's realm is my father...
Originally posted by Lance's realm:

If you say so, Lance, but I couldn't help noticing that you are never around at the same time as Scapegoat Kid...Hmmmmm. Its a good thing I'm not the suspicious type, like my cousin Lana.
Wild guess, but did Supergirl have her own book or was a regular solo feature in one at around that time?
You guys are getting close, but not quite right.
The Superman's secret weapon answer is story related.
The TPTB answer is fairly close.
I'll give it til tomorrow then flip over all the cards and reveal the answer. (obscure "What's My Line?" reference)
Does it have something to do with Weisinger's control of the character? Maybe that he was trying to mature her into an independent character, and sticking her in with the "teen sidekicks" group wouldn't be conducive to that?
That is the answer. I don't know if it was for the reason you stated. Back in the days all the Superman titles were under the editorial control of Mort Weisinger. Teen Titans was under the control of a different editor who didn't have the "rights" to use Supergirl.
How different both the Titans and Supergirl would have been.
Your question Eryk
What Titans villain recruited help from Harrison High?
Jeepers! I'm really sucking at keeping up with these trivia threads!
Not the Mad Mod, to my knowledge!
Think of a Titan villain who employed high school students, or at least former high school students...
Wow. I was so convinced that Coby was right that I didn't double-check. But, now, thanks to " An EDE Retro Review: Silver Age Titans Archives and Showcase! ", I know the answer!
Ding Dong Daddy Dowd, the Go Man
Cool. Dig Ding Dong Daddy Dowg's un-roundedness, Cats and Wonderchicks!
Hm. Once you start talking like that its hard to stop.
Over the years, how many Titans have sported wings?
I can only think of 4:
Golden Eagle
Bumble Bee
Azrael
& Beast Boy
...unless you count the wings on Wally & Bart's costumes
There is at least one more.
Redwing, from the Team Titans?
Right gender, wrong group. (they never really existed, did they?)
Was Supergirl in her Earth Angel mode when she was briefly a member?
If I am right, I would say that Vee has the question as he got the najority of the answer correct.
Well, Supergirl was the name I was looking for. Vee, the gentleman yields the question to you...
for Vee
Sorry for the wait, I ve been having a hard time coming up with a good question.
Name the Titans that have had relatives of theirs' become Titan adversaries?
Starfire
Raven
Dove
Superboy
Jericho
Rose Wilson
Terra*
Wonder Girl
Kid/Flash
Magenta
Duela Dent...?
Atom
Its a start, but it might be easier to name those that didn't. I didn't list Arsenal because I don't think he a Chishire were married, and I can't recall the Guardian clone ever being an actual adversary.
Good start KK. I would have counted Cheshire but I think you're correct that she and Arsenal are not married. I can think of at least 2 more that need to be on this list.
Starfire
Raven
Dove
Superboy
Jericho
Rose Wilson
Terra*
Wonder Girl
Kid/Flash
Magenta
Duela Dent...?
Atom
Lilith
Kole
Baby Wildebeest*
Lilith is one of the two I was looking for. I wouldn't count Baby Wildebeest because to my knowledge his orgin was never fully explored and I'm not sure who you're thinking of that would be a relative of Terra's and an adversary of the Titans.
I did not remember the incident concerning Kole's parents, but that definitely would count as a valid answer, so I stand corrected.
Since you got 99% of a rather long list, I'll declare you the winner and turn over the next question to you.
The last relative I was counting belongs to Gar. Steve Dayton battled the Titans while in his crazy Mento persona.
Take it away KK!
Titan Golden Eagle was introduced in JLA #116-117 (1975). What was the title of #117?
Too political?
A: "I Have No Wings and Must Fly!"
New Question:
In Harlequin's first appearances she posed as the daughter of five Batman villains. Which dastardly DNA did Duela Dent dissimulate?
She did Penguin's Daughter, Riddler's Daughter, Catwoman's Daughter, Scarecrow's Daughter, & Joker's Daughter.
Not bad from memory.
Which Titans have been or are now members of another group? (Young Justice and Titans West do not count)
Beast Boy/Changeling was in the Doom Patrol. Mal "Herald" Duncan has joined the Patrol as Vox, and so has Karen "Bumblebee" Beecher (in addition to working for STAR Labs).
Flamebird was in the Bat Family, but that's not really a team. CM Junior was likewise a member of the Marvel Family. Duela Dent/Joker's Daughter went undercover in the crime organization MAZE, posing as Card Queen.
Donna Troy was a Darkstar after being raised as a "Titan Seed" and an Amazon; Kyle Rayner was in the Green Lantern Corps.
I'm assuming we don't count the futuristic Team Titans either, right? Because several Titans are former-future members there, as well as Hank "Hawk" Hall, in his identity as Extant.
The original Terra was technically a HIVE employee while working with Slade.
Jericho worked for Searchers, Inc. (his mom's company) and also led the Wildebeest Society.
The original Robin--Dick Grayson--was in the Justice League (and the Outsiders), and Wally West was too, as well as JLX.
Roy Harper/Speedy/Arsenal was a CBI operative and member of the Outsiders. Danny Chase was a government agent too.
The Atom, of course, has been a longstanding JLA member. Lilithy Clay was briefly one of the Children of the Sun, and several Titans (including Raven) have been temporarily-brainwashed members of the Church of Brother Blood.
The revived Golden Eagle joined the Thanagarian army. Red Star was an employee/agent of the Soviet government (as was Pantha and Baby Wildebeest). Cyborg was merged with the Technis society for awhile. Damage is currently working with the Freedom Fighters; Jesse Quick was CEO of Quickstart and also worked as business manager to the JSA.
To my knowledge, the Supergirl who was with the Titans was Matrix; she's not the current Supergirl.
Whew! That's all I'm aware of.
I guess I should have been more specific with the term "group". I did mean another superhero team.
But you got all that I had except one (Starfire was a member of the Outsiders ) but got a couple I forgot (Kyle Rayner, Atom, and Donna Troy as a Darkstar)
Your question
Here's a straightforward one: Where and in what condition is Steve Dayton, Changeling's stepfather?
He is in the Prague with his new helmet and considers himself to be "the Master of Mentality".
Or has that changed?
Yep. I didn't know how many people had seen how Infinite Crisis revised his status from "floating in cyberspace."
Your turn.
Linda Carter was one of the few females I had a crush on growing up. Which actress appeared with her as Wonder Girl?
You, sir, are good. Your turn.
Hmmmmm.........
Who was Bethany Snow?
Snow was a TV news reporter and investigative reporter who was secretly a member of Brother Blood's cult. She led a smear campaign disgised as an expose about three members of the US Congress. These Congressmen were defeated and their seats were taken over by Blood supporters. That answer was from memory, so I might've given too much info for my own good.
Short answer: Bethany Snow was a royal b****!
I'll post a bit later, hopefully with a less mediocre question than my usual fare.
You are correct. I am having a tough time coming up with good Titans trivia, but I like to keep answering.
You are very generous, Quis. Thanks.
So, then...young Brother Blood aquired a red gemstone. Where did he get it and what did he do with it?
Hmmm...he got it from Raven's forehead and used it to open a gateway back to earth.
Hey Vee,
I sent KryptonKid a PM about this back on the 12th. I think you should go ahead and ask a question.
After this long, I agree it's fair game.
Go on, Vee.
At one point, gar's cousin decided to hold a recruiting drive in order to start a new Titans West. Name 3 of those who turned up for the meeting (which turned into a beer blast)
Gar (natch), Flamebird, Hawk and Dove (the ones with the wings who were in a band), Blue Devil, Bushido, Dollman and Dollgirl, Dial H for Hero (and his boyfriend), Mary Marvel and CM3, Terra (I think) and some others that I forget. Plus Harlequin crashed the party as well.
That's more than enough. You're up Bevis.
I was quite pleased how easily I remembered that off the top of my head.
Linked to the above question, the recruitment drive did indeed turn into a kegger. It was pointed out which of the characters present were the only underagers there and as such weren't drinking. Who were they?
Mary Marvel and CM3? I think those were the only ones....?
There's one more as well as those two.
Hint: The other udnerager isn't actually someone who has ever been associated before or since with the Teen Titans but does fit in terms of their age.
Nope, nope, nope.
He's a character introduced in a JLA issue who is a JSA member.
That's the one. As far as I'm aware it's the only time he's ever been linked to the Titans though.
Not sure who gets the next qeustion. Quis got the one that was stumping everyone but KK got the other two, so...
Go for it Quis.
Oh I was going to have you go for it as you got more correct (and I also needed a hint) But, I'll post an easy question just to keep the thread moving.
What was Adrain Chase's job before he became the Vigilante?
Yes he was. Your question Calybos
Here's an easy one. What was the name of Mal Duncan's club after he left the Titans?
Name all the memebrs of the JLA that have been Titans.
Vee, I think we might already have had this question earlier. It certainly sounds familiar. That said without going back and checking, off the top of my head:
Nightwing
Green Lantern
Atom
Arsenal
Flash (Wally, obviously)
erm... I'm assuming we're not counting any of the JLAmazon/Atlantic/etc. groups from that sucky crossover a while back. Otherwise I think Donna Troy, Starfire and Tempest probably count as well.
Hmmm...don't remember us having the question before but it's certainly possible. In any case, you got all the ones I can think of. You're up, Bevis.
Oooh, I didn't actually expect to get the answer right.
OK, we may already have had this one as well, but...
Name at least three real people that attended Donna Troy's wedding.
Marv Wolfman, Len Wein, & Jeanette Kahn
Wolfman was certainly shown, Wein I think was on the guest list but didn't appear in an actual panel. Did Kahn appear? I don't remember ever seeing anything with her or her name, but I could be wrong.
Well, I looked up the answer (and disqualified myself from future guesses) Wolfman is a correct answer for being there and drawn in. I could argue that Len Wein is a correct answer as you only asked who attended and signing the guest book is proof of attendence. But Jeanette Kahn is incorrect.
Yeah, I agree about the arguement for Wein. We never saw him, but if we go by the guest book he was certainly there so he does count. There are quite a few others though (a few who actually were shown and loads who signed the guest book) so the question is still open. Actually, one of the other real attendees is actually quite obvious when you think about one of the ones you've already mentioned Quis.
OK, that was a long time ago, but based on the clues:
Wolfman, Wein, and...George Perez?
Yup, Perez was the other obvious one I was thinking of. Sting, Pavarotti and Michael Jackson were also there 'in person' and people that signed the guest book included Mike DeCarlo, Michele Wolfman, Jessica Wolfman (daughter of Marv and Michele), Todd Klein, Rob Liefield, Dick Giordano and John Costanza, plus a whole load of others.
So, I guess it's KKs turn.
What was the name of Gar Logan's TV show?
Space Trek:2099 (not sure of the year) He played a Spock-like character.

By the way, Michael Jackson's not a real person.
"[Your soul] is just something adults make up to make kids behave... like the Boogeyman, or Michael Jackson." --Bart Simpson--
IIRC, Quis, it was "Space Trek: 2022", but I'm sure "Space Trek: The Next Generation" was set in 2099. Close enough!
May we please see some bean footage?
You aren't seeing the beautiful bean footage? It's been running in a loop as part of my signature.
Name all the Titans that have been adopted or wards.
Gar Logan/Changeling, obviously. And Dick Grayson/Robin. And I believe Roy Harper/Arsenal was adopted by an Indian tribe. Donna Troy's been a ward or adoptee too many times to count.
Bart Allen/Impulse/Kid Flash was a ward of Max Mercury. Aquagirl (possibly not officially a Titan) was a foundling, and Garth/Aqualad/Tempest was Aquaman's ward. Charley Parker/Golden Eagle was adopted and moved between foster homes. Gnarrk was a STAR Labs ward. Kon-el/Superboy, of course, was adopted by the Kents.
Cyborg's parents died, so he was adopted by his grandparents. The Secret was a DEO orphan when she met Young Justice, but she never became a Titan. When Danny Chase's parents were unavailable, he was a ward of the CBI. Baby Wildebeest was a ward of Red Star and Pantha, and Lilith was adopted by the Clays. When her parents died, Kole became a ward of Adeline Wilson.
Bushido's parents are dead, but I don't know he ever became a ward or adoptee. Let's see... Did we ever learn anything about Duela Dent's family situation (other than her various parentage claims)?
Calybos certainly got the lion's share of them...here are the only others I can remember.
I believe Red Star was a ward of the state and may have been adopted by Dr. Raskov, his father's best friend.
Damage, of course, was raised by the Emersons who were not his real parents. He later found out that he was the son of Al Pratt, the original Atom.
Captain Maarvel Jr, was raised by his grandfather when both his parents died.
Aquagirl 2 (Lorena) lost her parents in the San Diego catastrophe. Aquaman took her in and she joined him in protecting Sub Diego's residents
I'll give it to Calybos. Although I don't think Cyborg was adopted by his grandparents as I think he was at the age of majority when his father died. And Roy was the ward (ala Dick Grayson and Bruce Wayne) of Oliver Queen.
You forgot Tim Drake who has been adopted by Bruce Wayne
This should be easy.
For awhile, Lilith was chased around by an amnesiac guy with wings, dressed in gold armor.
What was his name... AND who gave that name to him?
Pretty sure it was Azrael...I have no idea who named him though.
The name was Azrael.
Although your clue makes me wonder if he was named by the Guardians of the Universe ("Smurfs") I'm pretty sure that it was actually by Mother Mayhem of the Church of Brother Blood, who tells him he is actually the Angel of Death, Azrael.
I looked up the answer after making my guess. Azrael and the Church of Brother Blood are the correct answers. The Smurfs reference is to his name "Azrael" which is the name of the evil cat in the Smurf cartoon.
Correct, Vee... and thanks for clarifying, Quislet.
The parents or family members of Titans tend to be an interesting group on their own. What happened to Kole's?
Her father experimented on her mother to turn her into a praying-mantis type hybrid, and when the Titans confronted him, some of his equipment overloaded, presumably killing him and all his creations.
Correct Calybos. You're up.

I hate when my dad turns my mom into a praying mantis type hybrid!
C'mon Dad! You don't need to bite my head off!
How many Titans has Nightwing dated? Or rather, who were they?
Umm....Starfire is the only one I'm sure. Something else else seemed to be going on with Jesse Quick but I don't think they ever dated.
Any other takers? Because frankly, I've forgotten where I saw the answer!
I guess that means you have the question Vee.
Hehehe!
Let me dig up a question....
Pre-crisis, how did Hawk & Dove get their powers?
some mysterious god-like voice came out of nowhere and offered it to them, as I recall.
Right you are, Kent! Take it away
Who did Dick and Kory see in line ahead of them while waiting to get into a Broadway musical?
Hint: it was someone who later had their own series.
How many Titans have changed their superhero name?
Robin/Nightwing
Kid Flash/Flash
Aqualad/Tempest
Speedy/Arsenal
Wonder Girl/Troia/Donna Troy/however many millions of names she's had
Beast Boy/Changeling
Green Lantern (Kyle Rayner)/Ion
Rose Wilson/Ravager (not really a name change but certainly a new identity
Lilith/Omen (again same as with Rose)
I'm sure there must be more though.
There are 4 more that I can think of.
I wouldn't count Rose Wilson/Ravager, but would Lilith. My reasoning is that Lilith worked as a superhero/Titan under Lilith, but I don't think Rose Wilson did. (yes I know she was the official babysitter as Rose, but I don't count that as working as a superhero/Titan)
OK, thinking more about this.
Starfire/Red Star
Are you counting Matrix/Supergirl asa superhero name change? I'm not sure if they wouldn't actually count as two personas rather than just identities. Same for Cyborg/Technis.
D'oh. And of course Impulse/Kid Flash/Flash.
I can't think of any more though, which probably means I'm missing someone really obvious.
oops Starfire/Red Star is one I was thinking of but then forgot. I'm going to give it to you Bevis. You did come up with the lion's share.
I didn't think of Matrix or Technis
The others I thought of were:
Joker's Daughter/Harlequinn
Mal/Guardian/Hornblower
Slag/Joto
Edited to add:
Bat-Girl/Flamebird
Did Bette ever actually change her ID from Bat-Girl it Flamebird or was that just a straight retcon (so that in effect she'd never been Batgirl)? I shoulda remembered Joker's Daughter as well and probably Mal but I didn't know Joto ever went by a different name. Mind, I've never really read any issues that featured any of that team so I can be forgiven for that.
Right, new question...
Name all the characters that have been members of both the Titans and Young Justice.
Superboy
Robin
Impulse
WonderGirl
CM3?
I think that's all of them KK, though Bevis will have to confirm. I couldn't decide if CM3 was actually a member of Young Justice or just an ally myself so I didn't get around to posting the reply
.
There are a couple more as well. At least two were official members and there were probably a few who turned up in issue... #50 or so where they went to the island that Empress came from. I think they probably count as the YJ reserves though so i wouldn't count them.
CM3 was indeed a full member at teh same time as the other two members that I'm thinking of.
I'm thinking Kid Devil may have been one, along with Beast Boy and Flamebird. And Damage, Risk and Terra were in issue 50 also, I think. So I guess they are part of the reserves.
Beat Boy and Flamebird were the other two full members that I was looking for. Damage, Risk, Terra and Kid Devil are indeed all in the big group from issue 50 (I don't think it ever states they're just the reserves but nor are they really full members so I'd call them reserves). I think that's all the ones that are left.
Not sure who should get the next question. KK answered first but Vee got the slightly more obscure ones.
KK was first and got most of the actual members so I think he should go.
A side note...can anyone tell me who all those other Young Justice allies were? Besides the Wonder Twins, Spoiler, Lagoon Boy and one or two others I don't think I had ever seen most of them.
I think the post-ZH Inferno was one of them too, but haven't a clue who the rest are.
From the cover of #50? I can't name them all, although I think most of them get named in the issues that they appear in, but from looking at the cover I can name:
Terra, CM3, Grey Lady (I think), Jakeem Thunder, Wondergirl, the Wonder Twins, Stargirl, Ray, Robin, Spoiler, Superboy, Secret, Sweet Sixteen, Damage, Arrowette (sort of), Lagoon Boy, Impulse, Empress, L'il Lobo, Risk and the rest of the Point Men (again, I think that's what they're called but I'd have to check back through the issues to be certain). Plus possibly those New Gods ones. The Tomorrow People? Something else else like that. Oddly no Beast Boy or Flamebird though.
Gods I'm a geek...
I'm not sure who has the next question, but whomever wants to jump in is fine with me.
What Titans were on the mission in which Robin 2 (Jason Todd) joined the Titans for an adventure in Switzerland?
Flash (Wally)
Wonder Girl (Donna)
Speedy (Roy)
Aqualad (Garth)
and
Hawk (Hank)
I loved seeing all those old 60s / 70s Titans in an adventure together again in that story but it was *mondo-weird* having Jason Todd along with them as their Robin!
And it was pretty depressing seeing how dysfunctional that group was as a team. But then again - that whole era was pretty depressing anyway, really.
Right you are Blacula! You're up with the next question.
OK - The Titans are currently on their third 'Titans Tower'.
The first one was destroyed twice before being abandonded and the second one only once. Please tell us the three villains who destroyed them.
Gee and I thought this question was gonna be too easy.
Here're some big clues -
The first Tower was destroyed at the beginning of the Baxter run and then for a final time during Titans Hunt.
The second "Tower" was destroyed during Jay Faerbar's run.
Clue #2 time -
The names of the three villains who destroyed the Towers start with T, W.S. and E respectively.
Anyone who gets 2 out of 3 can have the next question.
Trigon
Wildebeast Society
Elephant Man
?
Close enough Kent. I figured Faebar's much-maligned run would be the one no on remembers. It was Epsilon not the Elephant Man who destroyed their hologram Tower/base in that series.
Over to you.
Trivia Thread Death setting in Kent. Bring the antidote.
Um no. All my time here and I've never mastered PMing. I'll give it a go now though...
(Edit to add)
... And that was easy. PM sent.
Thank, B. Forgot about this (I guess I assumed I was wrong, other than Trigon).
Rather than delay this with lots of research, I'll ask an easy one.
Name the first two Titans to share a beverage with Slade Wilson (on panel).
you are correct. Joseph no doubt did before they, but not on-panel (by that point at least).
Ok here we go...
Who was the first Titan the join the group?
?
you may want to clarify - join the existing group? or all the original founders?
Hmmm.... This seems like a trick question.
I would say Wonder Girl. She was found (aka retconned) to be a Titan. I don't think any other member was a Titan. Plus one could say that the formation of the group was the teaming up of Robin, Kid Flash, & Aqualad. So, when Wonder Girl showed up, she would have been the first to join.
That was the answer I was going for, Quis. Take it...
Going from their dates of birth, which Titan is the oldest?
yup. I was thinking of just asking which Titan was the oldest.
Name all the Titans that have married
Donna, Starfire (to that guy on her planet), Wally, Garth (to Dolphin, right?), Mal & Karen, I think Lilith was married to Gnarrk, but that may have been ret-conned out, and if you count him as a Titan, Ray Palmer.
I think that's all of them (at least all of the ones I recall) Good job Quis! You're up
Name all the Titans that did not first appear in another comic book.
Lilith Clay
Mal Duncan
Gnarrk
Bumblebee
Raven
Starfire
Red Star
Cyborg
Terra 1 & 2
Jericho
Pantha
Danny Chase/Phantasm
Mirage
Minion
Argent
Risk
Joto
Fringe
Prysm
There you go.
Although from the current line-up, did Ravager (Rose Wilson) appear in another comic before Titans?
You also have Miss Martian, Zatara, gee I am forgetting all those new Titans that appearred in flashback.
I'm giving it to you, Vee, because you have the majority.
*Aside to Quis*
Would have been easier & shorter to answer which Titans first appeared in another series before joining!
Rose first appeared in an issue of Deathstroke if I'm not mistaken.
Originally posted by Quislet, Esq.:
You also have Miss Martian, Zatara, gee I am forgetting all those new Titans that appearred in flashback.
Didn't think of them. Maybe I don't consider them Titans, as of yet
Next question:
How did Damage come to the Titans attention?
(I might just be being anal but I've got this quick addendum to Quis' previous question - Starfire, Raven and Cyborg first appeared in an issue of DC Comics Presents and Argent, Risk, Joto and Prysm first appeared in one of the Superman titles before any of them appeared in a Titans comic.)

Well I know for a fact that Starfire, Raven, & Cyborg were part of a special Teen Titans insert and not part of the regular book. So I don't consider that appearing in another comic. Although that is a valid take on the question I asked.
I assume the same thing with Argent, Risk, Joto, & Prysm.
Wasn't Damage placed on the Titans because he accidentally blew up his school?
Originally posted by Invisible Brainiac:

Among other things
You're up IB!
Sorry for taking so long!
I'm not a Titans expert, not by a long shot, so let's do an easy one.
During JLA/Titans, that lucky Dick was being checked out by at least 5 female heroes. Who were they?
No need to wait for confirmation
Starfire, Flamebird, Mirage, Huntress and... Oracle?
Well I'm pretty sure I got 4 of them right so I'm just gonna go ahead and ask the next question...
Which Titan once had a father who was President of Sun Publishing?
Correctamundo! You're up Vee.
In that storyline, who turned out to be Lilith's mother?
Was that the one with the Old Titans? Lilith's mother turned out to be Thia, Goddess of the Sun, but I'm not sure if I got the right storyline...?
I'm pretty sure you're correct KryptonKid. Go ahead and ask the next question.
I can also confirm KK is correct.
Which Titan uttered the unforgettable phrase,"Azaeus Daemonicus Exeunt"?
How about Kid Crusader, just recently?
Exactly! Now say "Azaeus Daemonicus Exeunt" tree times fast.
Go, Calybos!
Sorry for the delay... how about this:
From the animated series, name five villains that were created specifically for the TV show? (In other words, they didn't originally appear in the comic books.)
Cinderblock, Mumbo, Mother May-eye, Trident, Overload
Close, but Trident does exist in the comics.
Cinderblock, Mumbo, Mother May-Eye, Overload, & Red X
She was Donna's roommate in college (I think) and then a Bridesmaid at her wedding.
Yup. Although the college roommate was a ret-con. Originally she was just became Donna's roommate when the other Titans found out the Donna was sleeping at the headquarters.
In the animated series which 5 Titans were the only ones left to take down the Brotherhood of Evil and rescue all the other Titans?
Erm... Beast Boy, Pantha, either Mas or Menos but I forget which, Jericho and someone else. Bumblebee possibly? I don't think she's right though.
Beast Boy, Pantha, Jericho (and Mas) are correct Bevis but you get demerit points for leaving off the final character - who happens to be my favourite Titan of all time! For shame!
Whoever gets that final character gets the next question.
Cyborg?
Nope. You and Bevis are both very close though.
Nope. It wasn't one of the regular 5.
Ding! Ding! Ding! Quislet has it! Mal (as Herald) was indeed the other Titan who took down the Brotherhood at the end of the toon.
Next question is yours Quis.
Bump for a Mr Quislet Esquire.
Hmmmmmm.........
The original Teen Titans West consisted of who?
Let's see if memory serves. Bat-Girl was playing tennis on a flying aircraft-carrier...
Bat-Girl,Beast Boy,Golden Eagle, Lilith, Gnark, Hawk, and Dove. (When I first read this story as a boy in California I realized that almost every super-hero lived on the East Coast of the USA.)
This is from memory, so I must wait for confirmation.
That is what I remember too. Your question KK
Who gave Kid Devil his powers?
That's it!
Okay, hmm... which of the original five wasn't present in the original Teen Titans v1 #1?
Guess that question was too easy. Your go, Reboot.
Crap. I clicked on this by accident, and didn't actually notice which trivia thread this was...
Why did Inferno quit the Titans tryouts?
Right, that's a full week, so I'll just say that "Impulse turned up" was the reason and that next person to post gets the question.
Kara noticed that there was no Super Woman in the adult Titans. Whom else did she say was missing?
Hint #1:The other Titan who didn't have an adult version was also female.
Ravager it is. Yerrup, Q-t!
During the Silver Age by what nickname were the Teen Titans also known by?
I was thinking of a more slangy nickname, but Junior Justice League fits. So, it is your question. The nickname I was thinking of was "the Fab Four" stolen from the Beatles.
What was the defining philosophical characteristic of Aqualad's people?
That's what I was looking for! Take it, Quis.
What was the impossible rent demanded by Mr. Twister of the citizens of Hatton Corners?
Shot in the dark:
$500/month?
Nope. That, at the time, might have been outrageous rent, but not impossible. Hint: it was not a dollar amount.
He...wanted their teenagers...?
Where was MSNBC?
The teenagers he took was because the town wouldn't/couldn't pay this rent.
Hint: at the time his ancestor made this rent agreement with the town, the rent would have been easily gotten, thus making for a cheap rent.
Jeeze, I read the issue, but it was decades ago. I must assume the the villains motive was diabolicly groovy.
I think I own this comic, but it is in storage...maybe.
A: The groove funk of their collective guitars.
Nope. Mr. Twister knew the rent was impossible, but was using it as a pretext to get control of the town. The question again is: What was the impossible rent Mr. Twister demanded of the town of Hatton Corners?
A clue can be found in the cover to the story
![[Linked Image]](http://www.nighthawkcomics.com/comics/bravebold54.jpg)
He wanted one passenger pigeon feather.
That was the rent. When his ancestor made that the rent, passenger pidgeons were very common. But by this time, they had become extinct.
You are up, Lance's realm.
Ok, here we go...
Who was Holley Hip, and which Titan really wanted to investigate Holley Hip?
I'd guess she was a co-hort of the Mad Mod and I'll guess Kid Flash wanted to investigate her.
Gotta be Speedy. He loved undercover investigation.
Ok, Holley Hip was a singer, and the only female member at the time was the one who flipped for him. If you can name her, go ahead and ask the next question. Don't even bother waiting for confirmation.
Ok, the answer is Wonder Girl. The next Q goes to whomever wants it.
To get the game restarted, I'll give an easy one.
Don't even bother waiting for confirmation.
Which Titan was said to have been created by Marv Wolfman to die, and did indeed meet her end not long after her introduction?
She would reappear again a little later, but was explained away as a time anomaly.
That would be the lovely, killed before her time KOLE.
(Though the clues also kinda fit TERRA who was always intended by Marv to die a villain less than a year after she arrived and would later resurface under weird, never really unexplained time-traveller/clone/resurrected/time-anomaly/earth elemental circumstances as Terra II.)
Sticking with Kole - in both the DCU and the animated Titans universe she had close, semi-romantic attachments with different fellow Titans. Who were they?
In the Animated Universe, she was tied with Gnarrk. Don't remember for the DCU. Jericho?
Yes and Yes, Quis. Your question.
Since the Titans are getting lots of love in their own forum again these days, I thought I'd bump this thread again too!
So Mr Quislet Esquire - I believe we've been waiting nearly 3 years for your question. You must have come up with a good one after all that time to think about it.
What television show did Gar Logan star in?
That was it. Your question Mr. Tain
dang. now I gotta ask something.
From New Teen Titans vol. 1, what incorrect legal technicality came up at Deathstroke the Terminator's trial, probably the result of Marv Wolfman mixing up/misremembering his own stories?
that he was defending himself ... the titans were harassing him?
was a long time ago haha
Did he claim self-defense?
oh oh, that they didn't know it was actually Slade Wilson because Deathstroke is masked.
he can't be tried twice for the crime.
was this when gar busted up the courthouse ....
nope. this is something, as I mentioned in the original post, about Marv mixing up two of his stories.
nope. this has something to do with Wolfman mixing up two of his Wolfman/Perez stories.
He wasn't actually responsible for his crime, that it was Terra? (When in actuality it was him but Wolfman forgot?)
Just a guess...
nope. Again, it has more to do with Marv mixing up two stories than anything related to individual characteristics.
I think we need a hint or a new question.
people haven't made use of prior hints, and there isn't much more to say without giving it away. slackers, the lot of ye!
okay, then....
Who was the first real-life comics artist to be "killed" in a Titans comic?
not even a single guess?
hint:
George Perez drew the issue in question.
no guesses after a full month? damn, you people are slackers!
another hint: She appeared under her maiden name.
good guess! but nope.
(aside: I've actually been to Ramona Fradon's house!)
hint: the woman in question had not yet done any art for DC at the time of this story (at least not professionally, or under her own name, that I'm aware of. And I followed her work a lot back i the day).
nope.
hint: she is best-known for a creator-owned comics venture, not for work for the Big Two (although she has done some).
Wendy Pini, in-story called by her maiden name Wendy Fletcher, was killed by Brother Blood back during his very first storyline.
go, Quis!
Hmmmmm....
I can't think of a really good trivia question, so I'll ask a real easy one.
What hid the Teen Titans first secret headquarters?
Wasn't it a cave? ...bushes?
a letter column!
rickshaw, the headquarters was a cave, but what hid the cave from prying eyes?
An advertising sign. (Or am I thinking of the Batman TV show?)
It was an billboard advertising the Batman TV Show.
Your question Blacula
^ Oh. Haha. Pop culture swirls around in my brain now creating a strange mish-mash.
Which Titan's real name was only revealed after their death?
4 minutes! Next question to you quick-draw Future.
Holy cow. I actually don't even know what her real name is (though I suppose I can now look it up on Wikipedia without feeling like I'm cheating).
Rosabelle Mendez. Huh. Fun fact! Good one, Blacula.
Hm. Okay! I can think of eleven (possibly twelve?) Titans that have served on both a Titans-related team and as a member of the Justice League (America, International, Task Force, or otherwise).
Name them!
Hunh.
Nightwing
Donna Troy
Aresenal
Flash (wally)
Supergirl
Powergirl?
Damage?
Cyborg
Thunder ?
Lightning?
Kyle
No real clue
Nightwing
Donna Troy
Arsenal
Wally West
Tempest (Justice League of Atlantis)
Starfire (Justice league of Aliens)
Cyborg
Beast Boy (Justice League of Adventure)
Kyle Rayner
Jesse Quick
Atom
Hmm. I wasn't actually considering the different Justice League of A's, though I suppose those do work. Since I wasn't 100% sure on my list being all-inclusive anyway, I'll go ahead and turn things over to Quislet, Esq for guessing the most correct.
rickshaw got 8 of the ones I was thinking of while Quis got 9. The ones I could think of were:
Nightwing
Donna Troy
Red Arrow
Flash (Wally)
Cyborg
Starfire
Green Lantern (Kyle)
Atom
Jesse Quick
Captain Marvel Jr / Shazam
Supergirl
Damage was recruited by Justice League Task Force, but never joined up to my knowledge. He and Bart Allen just helped out on an adventure.
And technically Tattooed Man, though really he's just with Deathstroke's Titans and his time with the League was, if I'm not mistaken, rather honorary and short-lived during Final Crisis?
There's probably a ton of possible exceptions if we really get into it, so I'll bow out and hand things over to Quis!
I had forgotten Jesse was with the titans. I really only vaguely recall it now that I'm reminded.
And I had completely fogotten Ray. Quis, let us have'it ma' man.
Future,
Regarding Captain Marvel Jr. I don't think he was in the JLA. He was in Cry for Justice (aka Cry for a Better Story). But the characters in that, while featuring a few JLA members, wasn't really the JLA.
Oh coming up with another question. Think, think, think, think...
This might be an easy question too.
Where did Speedy first meet the Teen Titans?
Yes in Japan. You have the question, but for bonus, what were they doing in Japan?
Attending the Olympics. The issue is a flashback (which is odd, because in the next issue or so it is referenced as though it were a recent case).
You have the question Eryk
EDE'S..... or new question?
I sent him a PM. I find that is better than just bumping a thread.
Which Titan once spent a night locked in the the Tower of London?
Not Wonder Chick nor Unfrozen Caveman Mechanic!
Originally posted by Eryk Davis Ester:

Speedy?
Not Speedy nor Terra!
Hint: This occurred in the second appearance of a fan fave Titans villain!
^ That clue could only mean Goth (
), so... Argent?
Bingo!
Robin was trapped in the Tower of London during the second appearance of the Mad Mod, thus requiring the other Titans to face the Criminal of Carnaby Street without the brains of the team!
Your "ducky" made me think of the Mad Mod. And as Kid Flash & Wonder Girl would not have been trapped in the Tower of London and Aqualad would have died if he had been trapped there for a night, that left Robin (Speedy already being ruled out)
This might be an easy one.
What Titan worked for STAR Labs?
I'm tempted to guess, but I really don't want the next question, given how my last two went.
That would be Karen Beecher-Duncan.
Yes it would be. Your question Blacula
Here's a fairly easy one -
Before the New Teen Titans series started it had a preview in an an issue of DC Comics Presents. Who was Superman's guest-star in that issue?
I think it was Green Lantern
Quis, your thinking is correct.
Your question.
I had it somewhere, but then I got the bright idea to take it out and have it be its own comic.
I also got the bright idea to get a Teen Titans number 1 signed by wolfman and perez, not knowing it would devalue the book. still, I bought it to read, not collect, so I don't really care.
Having an issue autographed by the writer and artist devalues the book??????
OK, what do Kid Flash, Hawk & Dove, and Starfire have in common? (aside from being Teen Titans)
all had multiple incarnations, different people using the same names, with some sort of connection to the Titans?
Not the common thread I have in mind. You are on the correct track in thinking about something the characters have in common.
If there are no other guesses in the next two days, consider the question yours.
I'm gonna go with a loopy guess and say that this is a trick question and that when you wrote Starfire you were talking about the now Red Star and say that all have been shown to have political views of some kind.
Nope, that is not it. And by Kid Flash I mean Wally West, Hawk & Dove are Hank & Don Hall, & Starfire is Princess Koriand'r.
I am going to give this to Kent. His answer, although not the one I was looking for, does apply to those characters.
My link was that Wally West, Hank & Don Hall, and Koriand'r all had both biological parents living when they first joined the Titans.
Excluding Dick Grayson/Robin's prophetic visions of the future New Teen Titans, what other two reoccurring characters also appeared with Dick in the New Teen Titans insert preview inside DC Comics Presents #26?
Jenette Klyburn?
And the Police Captain (whose name I'm forgetting) - Hall I think?
nope and nope.
but you are on the right track in thinking of an African-American and a STAR Labs scientist.
Your clues reminded me of a very obvious one I can't believe I forgot about since the whole story kinda revolved around him - Cyborg's Dad, Silas Stone.
The other one has me stumped.
... Alfred?
Silas Stone, yes.
not Alfred.
wrong gender.
Silas Stone & Bethany Snow?
too early for Bethany. and wrong hair color.
Originally posted by Kent Shakespeare:

We have Silas Stone for one.
other guesses have focused on other supporting characters.
HINT: supporting characters are not the only kind of reoccurring characters.
Clues -
* Re-occuring character
* Female
* Younger than Cyborg's Mum
* Not a brunette
Did the 'African-American' and 'scientist' clues pertain to her too Kent or was that just for Cyborg's Dad?
I'm trying to think through the events of the story - Robin gets called to S.T.A.R. Labs to deal with a shooter holding hostages. While there he has a weird vision that's a mixture of the future (with him as a member of a new group of Teen Titans) and the past (with the team battling the monster that turned Victor Stone into Cyborg and killed his Mum) brought upon him by the mysterious girl in the shadows - Raven.
Who, now that I think about it, is surely the answer to this question.
Raven it was.
Glad you got it, Blacula, as I won't be around to keep tabs on this thread.
I can't believe I didn't guess Raven straight away since I knew she was in the story. I think I was focusing on supporting characters too much.
I'm super-busy at Uni at the moment so I won't have time to monitor this thread too much either.
So I'll ask a really easy question and whoever gets it first can just go ahead and ask the next one.
Rather than as her side-kick, early Wonder Girl stories actually depicted her as the junior version of whom?
Wonder Woman herself
Another easy question. Wally is related to Barry (Flash) Allen how?
nephew by marriage, he's Iris' nephew by blood.
This was the first JLA'er that guest starred in New Teen Titans in a solo guest spot after the first meeting of the groups.
*As far as I can remember.
Who's secret identity is Neil Richards?
hmmm oh no I forgot his name...he was killed by Persuader of the Terror Titans....starts with M or O....Oversize or Maximim....oh...I am out.
I don't think so. At least it is not the Neil Rischards I am thinking of.
The mad mod? Kinda has a reverse of my first two names, Richard Neil.
Hunh. Cain't believe I remembered that.
Okay, who was Lord Chaos?
Keyrect you are sir. Your go.
Excellent.
Name the Titans' story that featured the characters Eddie Tallbow (who WG thought was dreamy) and Old Sourdough Anson Larson (who referred to the Titans as "youngtimers").
Is that the story that has Wonder Girl turned into a witch on the cover?
Hint:
Eddie Tallbow was a ski instructor.
Looks like time is is up?
The answer is "Skis of Death."
Quislet, Esq feel free to ask the next question as a reward for offering a guess.
I think this thread is dying. I am going to ask an easy question and see if anyone responds.
Which Teen Titan hails from Blue Valley?
Wally West?
(er, I may not be representative of the posters here. I haven't actually been active!)
Thanks!
Poor Kole had a very short run with the Titans, but to DC's credit, they often give her cameos (or even a line or two!) when they revisit the Crisis on Infinite Earths.
Kole appeared in the DCU: Legacies, but she also appeared in another miniseries where a Justice League member was shown being quite taken with her.
Who is that Justice Leaguer?
Hmmm, hope it's not too hard.
Hint 1: Joined after the Satellite Era
Hint 2: That Leaguer also appeared in the original Crisis
That should narrow it down
Nope, EDE. The answer joined a little bit later in JLA history.
Crap! You said "after" the Satellite Era! I thought you said "during"!
I'll try Steel!
Good guess too, EDE, but Quis got it! It was indeed Vibe, who was so busy staring at Kole that he didn't even here Harbinger's speech.
You're up Quis!
How did Psimon of the Fearsome Five get his powers?
He was transformed by Trigon?
Oh sorry for not checking sooner. You are correct IB.
Thanks for reminding me too Quis!
Something else else fairly easy...
Name two villains whom Kole fought.
If I remember right, there were only 3 real villains... not counting her parents, whose status is arguable.
One is Titans-related (and now a good guy)
Another is not really considered a Titans villain (and was arguably a good guy for a while)
The third was a goddess and definitely Titans-related!
That was during a time when I had taken a brief break due to ... negative fiscal accounts. I never saw her in anything other than the death in Crisis.
She did fight someone in Crisis, though, and made quite a good showing, since that someone was thrashing the heck out of two other heroes!
Good question IB!
1. She turned Black Adam's arm into crystal in
Crisis (who at the time was pounding on Robotman and... Dove I believe. Or was it Mento?)
2. She fought Thia (who had been holding her captive or something) in her introduction storyline.
3. And did she fight everyone's favourite cry-baby Azrael while he was trying to kidnap Lilith?
4. I guess you could also say she fought some Shadow Demons too... but we all know how that turned out.
Oh man, I totally forgot about this thread.
Great answer, Blacula. I didn't think to include 3 and 4. The third answer I was thinking of was her fighting a deranged Mento.
You're up!
and yes, I miss Kole too
An example of a character death done right - They made us care about her and gave her a heroic death.
Here's an easy one sticking with the Kole theme -
In only her few appearances in the Titans comics and animations worlds, Kole has been closely romantically linked to two different characters. Please name them.
Yes and Yes. Back to you IB.
My bad, was out of town for the weekend. Got stranded on an island, too! That'll teach me to take a boat out in a storm.
Continuing with the Kole theme...
Kole was summoned once by Kid Eternity. When she was back, which new Teen Titan complimented her on how cool she was?
This sounds like a job for ... Miss Martian?
Sorry, nope! The Titan in question was a member at the same time, though.
You got it, Future. You're up!
Donna Troy sure attracts the redheads. Name three redheaded lads who have thought she was just the grooviest.
Wally
Roy
Terry
(and her son to make 4)
?
Perfect, Blacula! I thought of including her son but the wording would have been weird. I also would have accepted Starfire, just because.
Whoops.
Your turn!
Donna and Kory, mmmmmmmm.
I think Trident was killed by his two partner Tridents?
Yes he was IB. Over to you again.
Another Kole question...
Name at least 10 non-Titans heroes whom Kole has interacted with in the Crisis. By this, I mean exchanged dialogue with or specifically fought alongside. No fair naming heroes just because they were in the Crisis.
I'm gonna purposely limit myself by not mentioning anyone from the team Kole and the Titans teamed up with in issue #3 to see if I can think of 10 others.
I'll start with the obvious ones -
1. Robin (Earth 2)
2. Huntress (Earth 2)
They died with Kole in issue #12.
3. Mary Marvel
Was there with them then and witnessed their deaths.
4. Robotman
I
think it was he and Dove who teamed up with Kole to bring down Black Adam in issue #9 or 10.
5. Blok
6. Martian Manhunter
7. Azrael (if he counts as a non-Titan hero)
I
think it was this group of heroes and Kole who went to the Charlton Earth to protect it.
8. Peter Cannon Thunderbolt
Am I right in thinking her crystal might have stopped him from running into the antimatter wave?
9. Batman (Earth 1)
10. Superman (Earth 1)
These two kinda teamed up with the Titans and the other team in issue #3.
My memory's pretty hazy of the
Crisis (I really need to treat myself to the Absolute edition this Christmas) so I won't be surprised if some of them are wrong.
Blacula,
you have 1-4 right. 9 and 10 are right too! You also got Dove, I'll give you a point for him. So that's 7. 5-8 are wrong though; Kole was elsewhere at that time.
I'm remembering my mistake now - she went to the Freedom Fighters Earth didn't she? Earth-X.
Or was it Earth-S, the Fawcett Earth?
I used to know that series so well.
Random guesses -
Flash I (Jay Garrick)
Northwind
Black Canary
It was Earth-S, Blacula - meaning you got Black Canary right.
You've already gotten 8/10, so the question will go to you no matter what. I won't reveal the other heroes though, since I'm thinking you might want to challenge yourself and guess them.
Back to you
Pretty sure this one's been asked before but I can't think of an original one at the moment -
Roy Harper is/was related to which Golden Age character?
Which Titan briefly dated a girl named Lori Elton?
No, not Changling.
Hint: This may be a bit of a trick question as Lori never appeared in an Issue of Teen Titans proper. However, she should be familiar to Titan's fans because she appeared in the story that introduced a character who became a member of the team.
Oh, wait, I think I remember reading a comic about that... Tim Drake?
Not Tim, but getting closer.
Not, Superboy. Closer in another way.
Yes, Dick Grayson dated Lori Elton while he attended Hudson University. She was created by Bob Rozakis, appeared in a couple of issues of Detective and several issues of Batman Family, including the issues with the Joker's Daughter story line.
Cool. I love it when these trivia questions turn into logic puzzles too, even if it's just a simple "closer, closer" thing.
Hmmm... I didn't really follow the Titans a lot, so I'm limited in what I can ask.
How about...
In Titans/Legion, the Legion had to take on the brainwashed Titans. Which 4 Legionnaires were inexplicably left behind when the team split up to engage the Titans?
PS I'm going from memory here. I remember the Legion splitting into four teams. I can't remember if Star Boy was on a team or not, so I'm not including him in the 4.
Also, allow me a minor rant - this miniseries was awful, most of the Legionnaires weren't used properly, and most of the decisions by the Legion, the Titans, and even the villain made little sense. Bah! The art was the only thing that was pretty.
Hmm. Star Boy was on the second Atlantis mission I think with Thunder, Apparition, and Kid Quantum. Though I think that mission came later, seeing as how there was a previous Atlantis mission where Cos and Argent were thought lost. Anyway.
My guesses:
Kinetix, Kid Quantum II, Invisible Kid, and Brainiac 5?
Yes, Star Boy was on a mission, but that came after the Legion split up to fight the Titans.
You got some of them right, Future.
I'd try to answer this Q but, like you IB, I thoroughly disliked this mini and have done my best to forget everything about it.
Wow Blacula, we have such good taste!
Guessing again:
Kinetix, Kid Quantum II, Brainiac 5, Spark?
Sorry, Future, still one wrong.
Btw, I did some checking, and Star Boy was indeed also left behind. He just wasn't shown on-panel discussing the Titan's actions.
Hmmm, I stalled this thread too long. Future, you get the next Q! The 4th Legionnaire was Gates.
Team-ups were:
Pacific OceanArgent, Tempest vs. Cosmic Boy, Spark, Sensor, Chameleon and Element Lad
Mount WashingtonDonna Troy, Arsenal and Starfire vs. Triad, Thunder, Monstress, Karate Kid and Ferro
UP HeadquartersFlash, Omen and Universo vs. Live Wire, Ultra Boy, Violet and XS
TitanStarfire (cause Omen sent her - WHAT!) and Brother Blood vs. Saturn Girl, Umbra, Apparition, M'Onel and Invisible Kid
Reserve at Legion HQBrainiac 5, Kinetix, Kid Quantum II, Star Boy, Gates
Rant: Sending Spark underwater?? I'm no science major, but I know electricity + salt water = electrolysis. Why not send a Legionnaire whose powers would work unimpeded underwater? And Sensor never once used her illusion powers during the battle, which could have won them. Element Lad just whined about how his transmuting powers wouldn't be fast enough. what??
Rant 2: Sending a team with nearly identical powersets against Donna, Starfire and Arsenal? What??? If they'd sent Kinetix or Kid Quantum or Star Boy along they would have done so much better. Not dissing any of the 5 Legionnaires on that team, but come on! Super-strength and karate against... super-strength, energy blasts and archery?? Even if you argue that Thunder would be a match for Donna, what would the rest do to even the scales?
Rant 3: And suddenly Starfire appears on Titan too. Because Omen sent her. Okay, why? Just... why?
Rant 4: Just the fact that many of their more powerful (Kinetix, Kid Quantum, Star Boy) were left behind is plain stupidity. The excuses given (oh the Titans are heroes under mind control!) were silly - even Kinetix points out],
in-story, that they outnumber the Titans 3-to-1 and should easily win. Bah, I say!
still, the art was very pretty, and I enjoyed looking at it immensely
PS - odd thing, but both Live Wire and Monstress died in that mini. Foreshadowing for Legion Lost, whose first issues came out concurrently?
The funny thing is I mis-remembered Gates as being on the Titan mission - but now I remember you're correct and he was simply their teleport transit back to base. Karate Kid also died in the mini I believe, which wasn't foreshadowing so much as maybe a play on all the KK deaths past.
Back to the Titans!
Former Team Titan member Mirage always assumed she was from an alternate reality with the rest of her team. She was shocked to discover she was actually from the DCU we all know and love, having originally been a runaway street urchin from what country?
Correct! Back to you, IB.
When Cyborg got the Titans back together one time, several members commented that Cyborg was exceptionally thorough. Which four overlooked Titans made them say that?
Anyone?
Hint: This took place in a crossover involving another DC team.
Ah! That jogged my memory. Is this from the JLA/Titans mini-series back in the 90s that pre-dated the first "The Titans" series?
Was it ... Flamebird, Bumblebee, Herald, and Omen?
Got it perfectly, Future!
Luckily, these four "forgotten" Titans have since proven themselves in battle, and I daresay they have earned greater respect within the DC superhero community (and among fans, too).
Wait - I'm confused. Was that question asking us which 4 Titans Vic forgot to gather to take on the JLA? Because I'm sure I remember scenes of Mal and Karen (having dinner or something with her parents) and Bette (playing tennis with Dick) in his fake fantasy world - which suggests to me they weren't overlooked. Am I remembering things wrong?
Sorry, I guess the word "overlooked" was confusing in this context. By "overlooked" I meant that these 4 Titans were usually overlooked by the rest of the hero community, which was why their inclusion this time elicited comment.
A better word would probably have been "underestimated".
Ohhh I get it now. I misread the question. But it has inspired me to re-read that book - probably the high-point of Devin Grayson's run on the Titans (and maybe even her time at DC) and some great art by Jiminez.
Nah, my fault for picking the wrong word. But yeah, it was a great mini, and they made it great WITHOUT killing anyone off.
All the participants were written well (although I remember Joto didn't get a single line, but he was the only one - even Flamebird, Bumblebee, Mirage got good moments!)
The phrasing did take me a second, but I'm glad for that because likewise it made me go back and look at the book. I forgot how great it actually was - and groundbreaking creatively and in the great use the characters received. Funny how 10-some years can actually change which Titans are considered "obscure." You think it'd be the older ones, not the somewhat recent ones.
Next question/challenge. Name 12 Titans who have had solo series.
A hint: you could technically name 12 Titans while only naming 11 titles.
My guesses:
Robin (Tim Drake)
Nightwing
Cyborg
Starfire
Raven
Beast Boy
Hawk
Dove
Green Lantern (Kyle Rayner)
Supergirl
Atom
Superboy
Impulse
Quis, you got 9 out of 12 correct!
Beast Boy had a mini-series, but I should clarify and say I'm just looking for ongoing titles. Surprisingly, Cyborg has only ever had a one shot while Raven and Starfire have never had series. Although research showed me that DC did have a short-lived series called "Starfire" in the 70s which had nothing to do with the character but looks interesting enough.
Hint #2: One of the Titans Quis didn't guess has more appearances under their belt than any other Titan of any era, save for Dick Grayson.
I think Quis got most of them (though I don't remember Starfire ever getting her own series) but for good measure I'll throw in Arsenal, Wonder Girl (Cassie), Blue Beetle and Static.
Blacula got two more of the potential answers I was thinking of: Blue Beetle and Static.
Arsenal and Wonder Girl did have mini-series!
Hint #3: Another potential answer had a short-lived series before they were a Titan, going on to serve in two completely different incarnations of the team.
Future - Raven and Cyborg both had minis a few years ago. If you're having trouble finding them at the grand comics database I think they were officially called DC Spotlight
or something.
But now I realize that you're not after minis they (along with my additions of Arsenal and Wonder Girl - and Tempest whom I've just remembered) won't matter anyway.
Just remembered Son of Vulcan as another mini-haver before he joined the ill-fated Titans East, and Anima had her own short-lived series before she joined that same team.
I thought I remembered Raven having a mini, but couldn't find it right away to clarify. Thanks, Blacula! Now that you mention Cyborg as well, that rings a bell.
Anima is indeed someone else I would count, as her series was ongoing.
That brings our total to 12, so I'll reveal who my hints were also referring to: #2 was for Wally West's run as The Flash while #3 referred to Damage.
I'll give this one to Quislet since he got the most correct and if we included mini series, he did get 12!
I can't believe I forgot Wally West's many, many solo issues! <slaps forehead>
Who found Starfire when she first came to Earth?
The Gordanians were who she escaped from and they were looking for her, but they were not the first person(s) who found hr on Earth.
Oh haha. The print on my iPad is so mini I misread your question as asking us who "fought" her.
I know who the boyfriend of the answer to your question is but I can't remember her name.
IIRC, although we first see the boyfriend and girlfriend together with Starfire, the conversation indicates that he found her by himself.
It's been soooo long since I've read those issues I couldn't quite remember the details.
I'll guess Grant Wilson then.
It was indeed Grant Wilson.
Jarrod Jupiter, the son of Titans benefactor Loren Jupiter?
And half-brother of Lilith, yes!
Your Q, IB.
I can recall exactly one Titan who had no speaking line in the Titans/Legion crossover, which was somewhat impressive considering that every Titan (and some allies) up to that point had appeared.
Who was that Titan?
If I'm understanding the question correctly, this is a Titan who appeared in the book but didn't speak (rather than a Titan who didn't appear and didn't speak).
I don't remember Mal Duncan speaking (or appearing) in that book so I'll say him.
That's right, Blacula. So this Titan basically had a cameo appearance.
Mal appeared as the Herald, and he did speak at least twice that I can remember, though.
I'm guessing this is one of the "killed" Titans who was later revived by timestream hijinks. Unless we're actually talking the Titans/JLA mini.
Jesse Quick?
Oh my gosh!
I posted Titans/Legion, when I meant Titans/JLA. :facepalm:
Note to self: proofread all posts made after a 12-hour workday.
So no, it wasn't Jesse Quick either - she wasn't a Titan yet at that point.
Sorry, guys
Reposting the Q:
I can recall exactly one Titan who had no speaking line in the Titans/JLA crossover, which was somewhat impressive considering that every Titan (and some allies) up to that point had appeared.
Who was that Titan?
Correct, Xben! You're up.
I have to confess here, Invisible Brainiac, that my Titans knowledge is so slim that I don't even know who Joto is. I got the answer only because you commented on this very piece of trivia on this thread about two pages ago.
But for my question, in the famous XMen / Titans crossover from 1984, who are the seven and a half characters who appear on the front cover? (Hint: 3 of them are Titans)
Joto was a member of the Jurgens Teen Titans, Xben. You may know him better as his current name Hotspot.
I haven't read that crossover but I'll guess -
Storm
Wolverine
Colossus
Jean Grey
Robin
Changeling
Raven
and
Galactus?
Nope - not familiar with Hotspot either. I know Jurgens had a run on Titans with the (annoyingly) de-aged Ray Palmer. Was it any good?
You have 3 characters correct, including one Titan.
Hotspot was also in the Teen Titans Go! cartoon and comic, 52 and made some appearances in Geoff Johns' One Year Later Titans era.
The Jurgens era was hit and miss. It had great art and some great guest appearances (including Postboot Inferno as I recall) and I liked some of the stories... but I didn't really like the main two spotlighted Titans at the time, Risk and Argent, (though I like them well enough now) and, tellingly, the team never really felt like a proper Titans team to me.
They're an interesting blip in Titans history but one that will probably be forgotten in the DCnU.
My Titans knowledge is pretty limited as well. I like many of the characters individually, but they never grabbed me as much as the Legion or Justice League did. There are several runs that I've never read as well, including Jurgens.
I did read Wolfman-Perez, but annoyingly, a lot of those issues are a jumbled blur in my memory.
Just realized that I had put 1984 in my question. Not that it makes any difference, but it actually came out in 1982. I'd just put '84 in as a placeholder until I had a chance to check, but forgot to until now.
I'll guess:
Jean Grey
Cyclops
Professor X
Wolverine
Storm
Changeling
Starfire
Cyborg
5 correct, including one Titan.
Just curious, IB - did you know that you had just mentioned your trivia question on this thread a couple of pages back?
Xben, yes I did. My Titans knowledge isn't particular deep, so I just went with that. I was also pretty tired then and didn't want to stall the thread any longer than I had to.
Reguessing:
Jean Grey
Cyclops
Professor X
Wolverine
Kitty Pryde
Changeling
Jericho
Wonder Girl
Now 4 correct, including one Titan
Cyclops
Robin
Wonder Girl
Storm
Jean Grey
Starfire
Professor X
Nightcrawler
Hmmm...
Changeling could be the correct Titan, since he was in Blacula's guess too. But I'm stumped as to who the other 2 Titans are.
Let's try:
Jean Grey
Cyclops
Wolverine
Storm
Changeling
Wally West
Lilith
Darkseid
I feel like the half-character was a villain but I don't know enough X-Men villains.
Wolverine
Jean Grey
Cyclops
Nightcrawler
Storm
Robin
Starfire
Wonder Girl
Quislet has it correct! The half character was Professor X, and technically, it was actually Dark Phoenix as opposed to Jean Grey, but I thought that was close enough.
Interesting for me to note that Wolverine wasn't put front and center on the cover - I guess it was before the days of his uber-popularity? Of course it was a wrap-around, so the rest of the characters (including the other half of Professor X) were on the back.
Hmmmmmm... a question.....
What was the name of Bethany Snow's talk show?
Hmm this is an obscure one...
Snow Patrol?
Snow Talkers?
Snow News Day?
Snow Worries?
Snow Country For Old Titans?
Snow News Like Good News? (ugh)
The Snowball Effect?
Hint time: Bethany Snow wanted to obscure the truth. And the title of her show is something that would be obscuring.
Nope.
If no one gets it by tomorrow, I'll give the answer and let someone else ask a question.
Snow Blind is good but not the correct answer. Which is Snow Storm.
The next person that wants to ask a question may do so.
Damn. I almost said Snow Storm first. But since I have't read a Titans comic since 1988 I'll let someone else have the question !!
Ok I'll go ...
Who were the first two people to see Dick dressed as Nightwing?
EDIT:
(Pre Crisis ... On no this might've been a dumb question)
Adeline Wilson and Jericho in 'The Judas Contract'?
snap! The question is yours ...
too easy?
Easy's good sometimes.
Here's another (possibly easy) one -
Who was Maladi?
Hint: The cover to the issue she appeared in has Robin saying to someone - "You were one of us once! Why have you betrayed us now?"
An easy one, then.
Which two Titans did Kole attack?
Two of the four villains who used the name Trident are dead. What are the real names of the two dead Tridents?
first names will do.
Val Armor
and
... Bob?
ONE of those is correct.
If Bob was the correct one, that was one lucky guess! haha
For the other I'll guess...
Ernie?
Nope but it does have the same number of syllables ... And starts with a letter higher than e on the alphabet
Val the karate kid was one of the names ... I was joking sorry
The other is not bob Fred or earnie
Two of the first three tridents killed the third. I think he was actually shown with a trident stuck in him
Here's a clue hang man style :
_ _ _ _ _
It's short for .... S omething ... Or S omething.
Oh, Val was the correct one? I thought I was just joking because your Q referenced "villains" PB?
So it's Val and... someone whose name starts with a letter higher than "E" (and some hangman clue that went way over my head. haha).
I'll guess...
Simon.
super close!
it ends with a
_ammy Jaye.

Oh, I know who Trident is. He/they are one of my favourite Titans villains. The black one is the only one who ever fought the team again if I recall correctly.
The villain also appeared in the Teen Titans Go TV series and as the major antagonist in the Teen Titans strip in Wednesday Comics but, weirdly, it was a radical re-imagining of the character on both occasions.
Old school is the best school IMO.
I still don't remember what their real names were though. haha
Old school Titans rock - I also love Flamebird, Bumblebee, Herald, the criminally neglected Tempest, and poor, poor Tula. Plus the somewhat never Kole.
Er, is the answer "Sammy" and Val? I'm really just guessing here
I think Blacula should get the next Q no matter what, though.
Ok, the question goes to Blacula because he loves Trident so much.
IB has it with "Sammy and Val". Val was possessed by Starro when he was the Trident.
I really like the Trident too for some reason, His death shown above was pretty gruesome for those days. Now it's nothing ...
I want a Trident, that would be useful.
Next Blacula!!
Sticking with the Wolfman/Perez era -
When the H.I.V.E ruling council were finally defeated by the Titans and all commmitted suicide/were murdered by their leader, only one member's identity of that council was ever revealed - and it was the villain of a Justice Leaguer.
Major bonus points if you can name the villain but, since they only ever had one appearance before their death here, they are ultra-obscure - so just naming their Justice Leaguer enemy will suffice.
Bump!

And someone finally gets it!
I was hoping this character would go all the way to being the last character guessed but Kent just pipped the post with his correct guess of...
Wonder Woman!
Which, along with Batman and Aquaman, was one of the obvious answers all along when you think that Wonder Girl, Nightwing and Aqualad were the only characters there who could have identified a JLA member's obscure villain.
The villain in question was...
Professor Torgo!
Who had made one appearance before his dead body appeared in this issue and that was all the way back in
Wonder Woman #46 in 1951!
Here's the cover -
http://www.comics.org/issue/8761/cover/4/ Talk about an obscure character to mine for a one panel cameo. I love when writers did that kind of thing!
R.I.P. DC continuity.
Your question Kent.
okay, then... what was the first contemporary real-world event to be depicted/referred to on the cover of a Titans comic?
Hmmm... I think the Titans were meant to be at the Olympics on the cover of issue #... 4(?). The one that first guest-starred Speedy.
In a fairly obvious Romeo and Juliet homage once, which Titan played the role of Juliet?
an easy one because I can't think of anything else
What color are Aqualad's eyes?
Right, although I heard it as purple
Which Titan villain was Roy much later shown caring for/checking in on to see how they were doing?
No guesses?
CLUE #1 - This interaction was revealed during the Meltzer/MacDuffie era of Justice League of America.
Hmmm. That's not who I had in mind but now that I think about it there might have been scenes between those two which fit the above description.
I can't think of any specifically though so I'll disallow it and refine the question more.
---
Which early Titan villain, after seemingly reforming, did Roy keep tabs on / deliver food to during the Meltzer/Macduffie era of Justice League of America?
Has Roulette ever fought the Titans? Either way, not who I'm thinking of.
CLUE #2 - This character is a male.
Not Mad Mod but that's the closest guess so far.
CLUE #3 - This character had more than one villainous identity during their career.
CLUE #4 - When I said that this was an "early" Titan villain, you actually couldn't get any earlier than this villain.
Hmm. People don't know who the first villain the Titans ever faced was?
OK. So I mentioned earlier that this villain has had two identities...
The first is two words and they both rhyme with each other.
The second is a building adornment that Batman is fond of standing on.
Either will do.
^ That's the one. He was the villain in the unofficial first appearance of the Titans when Robin, Kid Flash and Aqualad went up against him in Brave and Bold #54. He later became the Gargoyle and tangled with the Titans a few times in that identity.
He wasn't seen for many years until he popped up retired and destitute and being delivered food by Roy in JLA (before being kidnapped by the Suicide Squad and sent to that prison planet for that execrable Salvation Run series). It was a nice bit of character work for Roy though I thought.
I didn't know (or remember) that Mr. Twister was the Gargoyle!
I also didn't know about the other stories, but I do remember Mr. T's carnage in Hatfield Corners (I think), USA! Good question, Blacula.
I'll be back in a day or two with a new question.
OK, if Mr. Twister was the Titans' first villain, who was their second?
Do you mean the giant Seperate Man?
No, though that's a good guess.
I'm thinking of a retconned story.
You have the right story, Kent, but I'm looking for the "villain" behind the JLA's actions.
Antithesis
since they technically fought the JLA before they knew of Antithesis, as I recall, I figured the JLA could be counted as #2 and Antithesis as #3.
Well, I did say "villain" (singular), so technically you could say it was Batman (or any of the individual JLAers since their crimes seem to have been committed at the same time).
Of course, it was just Robin who fought Batman, Aqualad who fought Aquaman, etc., so technically the Titans didn't exist yet; nor did they exist until the end of this story, so that means neither Mr. Twister nor the Antithesis count.
Anyway, it was Antithesis I was looking for, so you won.
Okay. What movie was being screned on a drive-in movie screen once during the original Perez run?
I remember this! But I don't remember the answer, exactly. Was it "Cannonball Run?"
Closer in genre... But nope.
A hint in which only the blanks will point you in the right direction: Carmine Infantino ____ _____ ____than Irv Novick did.
Random guess for the blanks: "drew more Flash".
So, the answer: Flash Gordon?
Not Flash Gordon. Good guess on clues, but one word off. Which Flash?
You're getting colder.
HWW's response to the clues had two correct words for the clue. Think 'which flash?' in terms of comics, not movie titles - there is no 'flash' nor anything close in the movie title. The blanks clue does not relate to the movie title at all, but will point you in the right direction.
Further info: the movie in question was released after Flash Gordon but before Jumping Jack Flash.
I went wirh the blamks clue because any other clue I've thought of as of yet would be too easy.
Woody Allen's Annie Hall?
Nope.
New hint: the title is more than three words long. If abbreviated to an acronym, you need only two letters, both repeated at least once.
"Chitty Chitty Bang Bang"?
I don't see the "Flash" connection, though.
Not Chitty. Again, there is no Flash connection in the title. Either look at HWW's guess or ignore the blanks clue, as everyone but HWW seems to leap the wrong way using that hint.
Or if you do use the blanks clue, look not for a movie title, but rather a different sort of name.
Yeah, sorry, Kent. I wasn't trying to put a Flash connection in the title. Instead, I scanned info on the film's cast, crew, and production staff looking for "Allen", or "Barry", or "West", or "Gerrick", etc. I couldn't think of a movie that fit both clues. I overreached in a subject that I knew was not my forte, and apologize for it.
Once again, Dev to the rescue!
Also, ETTET, ET The Extra-Terrestrial; the other clue.
Leonid Kovar had a fiancee, what was her name.
btw Kent...that was an awesome clue. I laughed out loud when I read it.
Thanks! I'd have been quite disappointed if no oe had gotten it.
I think I asked a version of this Red Star question a couple of pages ago - Maladi.
Originally posted by Dev - Em:

Seconded. That was very creative.
Originally posted by Blacula:

I didn't go through the pages to see if it had been used...but you are indeed correct.
It's hard to keep track in these games sometimes. I'm sure this question has probably been asked before too...
Which Green Lantern villain played an important role in the origin of a Titan character?
Hi Quis. It's actually the Green Lantern villain I'm looking for.
(But working out who the Titan character is too will be a major clue. Hint: it's not Starfire.)
Doctor Polaris it is. Who, of course, played a role (much too complicated to summarize here) in the origin of Magenta aka Frances Kane.
Over to you.
Another villain also played a role in the origin of another Teen Titan. Who is the villain?
Not the villain I am thinking of. I suppose being the father means playing a role in the origin. And you could argue that Trigon gave Raven her powers. But I am looking for a villain that had a more active role in the origin of this Teen Titan.
Actually, I think I'm wrong on that. Just remembered that she got her powers from her parents; Thia came along later.
No Thia nor Luthor
Hint time: Both the villain and the Teen Titan existed before Crisis on Infinite Earths
Tony Zucco and Robin.
Just kidding. I'm assuming that's not who you had in mind.
You are correct ..... that Tony Zucco & Robin is not who I was thinking of.
Hint 2: The Teen Titan in question was not one who regularly appeared.
Note: I am still looking for the villain's name, not the Teen Titan
This might be kind of obvious but... either Deathstroke or Ravager (the second one) with Jericho?
Seeing as Jericho was a regularly appearing Titan, the answer in no.
recap of the hints. Both Teen Titan & villain predate Crisis and the Teen Titan did not appear regularly.
3rd hint: The villain is not normally associated with the Teen Titans.
4th hint: The Teen Titan's origin has been retconned taking this villain out of it.
That's the villain. He gave (unintentionally) Golden Eagle his powers
Okay, then...
What real-life landmark was shown in the Titans comic as being surrounded by scaffolding, at around the same time it was in the real world, too?
I can't believe I forgot Golden Eagle when I was listing all the pre-Crisis Titans in my head. I have that Matter Master issue of Justice League of America too.
Totally random guess for Kent's question - the Statue of Liberty?
Yes!
Statue of Liberty it was!
Fairly easy question this time -
Which team of villains once infiltrated the construction crew rebuilding the Titans Tower?
Quis has it. The H.I.V.E. infiltrated the Tower's reconstruction crew at the beginning of Devin Grayson's run.
In the "A day in the lives" story (New Teen Titans #8), what was Raven doing when she discovered the bombers?
I have a vague memory of her visiting a school.
Close enough. She was touring Manhattan College in her astral form to see if she should attend classes there.
Who built the first Titan's Tower, where, and why?
Vic's father (Silas?) as a way to try to get back into his estranged son's life before he died.
Yep, and it was built on a small island in the East River, NY.
Sir Kent, proceed.
yep! Every time I used to take the 59th Street Bridge, I'd see this little stony islet with a navigational marker on it and think, "That's where the Titan's Tower would be."
okay, hopefully an easy one:
Who mistook Cyborg for a football player?
No takers? Hint: it was a real-world person.
It was Sting!
Go, Blackie!
Who was inside the Wildebeest costume on this cover/issue?
http://www.comics.org/issue/94255/cover/4/
Clue - it was another Titan.
Nightwing did don the Wildebeest costume to infiltrate the organization during the Titans Hunt, but he was not the person in the costume in this issue/story.
Not Changeling. (But closer.)
I don't think this is closer, but...
Pantha?
Not Pantha either. This issue occurred prior to the Titans Hunt which introduced her.
Yes it was!
And here are the covers to the next two issues -
http://www.comics.org/issue/94256/cover/4/ http://www.comics.org/issue/94257/cover/4/ I really loved that period (from 'Who is Wonder Girl?' up until the end of the 'Titans Hunt') in Titans history.
Where was I when all this was going on? I totally missed this phase of the Titans.
Q: Who was Jason Hart?
Was he Starfire's first date on earth?
Which Goddess was Lilith the daughter of?
Clothe enuth - it wath Thia.
What Titans villain's initials (not a code-name) were I.I.?
hm...
Godiva?
just guessing randomly
nope!
Hint: this story stars the classic seven 'new' Titans, and only features three other people (one being the villain).
Igor Igorigorigorivitch (or something like that)?
Yes!
The Titans, Igor the mad scientist, and Marv Wolfman and George Perez themselves comprised the main cast of this back-up story!
http://asylums.insanejournal.com/scans_daily/914145.html (okay, I forgot about the lab assistant, and the cameos by other DC peeps. so sue me)
Go, HWey!
Ah, praise the glories of a misspent youth that I actually remember that story!
Be back in a day or so with a new question.
OK, I found a question much quicker than I thought.
Which Titan liked to listen to The Doors?
Man, that was quick!
Yep . . . in Teen Titans # 38, Lilith is listening to "When the Music's Over" ("We want the world and we want it now"), much to the consternation of Dick, Donna, and Mal, and especially Mr. Jupiter.
It was a guess.
Which Titan would routinely use the full name name of the other Titans? i.e. using Timothy instead of Tim.
Yup. Dick was Richard, Gar was Garfield, and Wally was Wallace
okay, then.
How did Starfire learn Russian?
By kissing the Russian Starfire?
From his parents, I assume.
Oh you mean the other Starfire.
HWey: no, but you re on the right track.
Quis: ha!
Um, by kissing some other Russian?
Details, details.
Hint: It was during the original Perez era, but he did not draw this story.
nope! Not a real person, but someone well-known to comics fans.
another hint: Like Blacula's guess, the character in question was not one to whom DC holds copyright.
So a fictional Russian character but not one that DC holds the copyright to? Hmmm - weird. Why don't I remember this?
Having trouble thinking of any so...
oh wait - was it Colossus?
(I've never read that crossover which would explain why I don't remember it, if so.)
Colossus it is! In the titans/xmen x-over.
Here's an easy one -
Which Titan shares a name with a famous jazz musician?
Gosh. I thought this question would be easy.
Clue - this musician played the saxophone and is more commonly known by his nickname.
Clue the second - this Titan is pre-Wolfman/Perez.
Well Doc West plays drums not sax, so reversing my lines of research and now looking for a more famous musician and a less famous Titan...
Golden Eagle!
a.k.a. Charley Parker.
I guess both of them were better known as birds.
Charley 'Bird' Parker and Charley 'Golden Eagle' Parker it is!
Your Q, SS.
Which Teen Titans adversary shares a surname with most of the classic Fantastic Four?
Well it seems obvious that this can only mean Storm or Richards depending on how 'classic' we're getting, but I'm stumped as to who fits that bill.
I'll guess... Disruptor?
I don't recall Disruptor, what was his name?
And as far as "classic" I mean the original lineup, but I now realize that neither name ever applied to "most" of the classic four. But yes, it is one of those two surnames.
Disruptor was the red/gold clad villain in the 'Dear Mom and Dad' issue of the Wolfman/Perez NTT series.
Not sure of his name. Was hoping it was Storm or Richards?
(P.S. Just googled his name and it was Beldon.)
I tried googling Marvel Disruptor but didn't get any name. But now I see the flaw in that. We're not talking about a "Disruptor" at Marvel Comics. I confused myself with all the talk about Fantastic Four. But hey, it's after midnight here!
Anyhoo, not Disruptor.
No idea so time to start guessing randomly -
Ding Dong Daddy?
Mad Mod? (since I also have no idea)
Forgot it was my question or I would have been adding clues in the silence, but IB got it.
Mad Mod's name is Neil Richards.
Wow, lucky guess. Thanks for the bump, Blacula, and sorry guys. Had no idea.
Okay, hmmm....
During the Breakdowns storyline of the original JLA/JLE (Giffen era), one member resigned off-panel (if I remember right). Which one was it?
Ummm... did you forget which thread you're in IB?
(As for your question, I'll guess... Blue Jay?)
I was wondering that, too. Doesn't seem like a Titans question. And I don't know the Titans of the Breakdowns era well enough to venture a guess.
(^ The only Titan I can think of that was involved in the Breakdowns JLA/JLE story was Wally West Flash - so anyone who guesses him has a chance of both being correct and making this question relevant.
)
Whoops. I got confused and thought this was the Non-Legion thread
Sorry guys. That should teach me to post early in the morning without drinking coffee first
Ok, change question...
In the Superman storyline Panic in the Sky, a grand total of two Titans were involved. Who were they?
Panic in the Sky! Now there's a story I haven't thought of in a long time!
RIP Draaga.
As for a guess, I'll say...
Flash and Nightwing?
Correct, Blacula!
It was quite an enjoyable read.
I remember enjoying it too. I enjoyed that whole era of Superman actually. I'm feeling a bit nostalgic for it at the moment. I think im gonna give it a re-read one of these days.
---
Question - Which Titan was present when Celsius of the Doom Patrol died?
It was a nice era with a rich and well-developed supporting cast. Made Metropolis almost as, if not even more, rich as Gotham.
Re your question... Cyborg?
might as well go for the obvious: Changeling/Beast boy?
I'm afraid neither of those guesses are correct.
Not Donna Troy either, sorry.
Clue:
Knowing where Celsius died will make it completely obvious which Titan was present.
Another clue: Celsius' death occurred during Invasion!.
^ Winner!
Celsius died underwater in the Arctic circle during the Invasion!. Aqualad, Aquaman and a few others were present.
Your Q, Kent.
Who was the first JLA member to cameo in a Wolfman/Perez Titans story?
I do not mean people who later joined the JLA; someone who was a member at the time.
c'est il! As Bruce Wayne, but yes, in NTT #1.
Oops, sorry, I'd forgotten I'd made a guess. Thanks to Blacula for reminding me.
In JLA/Titans, all the surviving Titans at that point were captured by Cyborg's drones. All except one who wasn't supposed to be dead at that time.
Who was this Titan?
I feel like I might have known this at one point in time but if I did, I've forgotten it now.
Guessing - Phantasm?
P.S. JLA/Titans was a really good mini. Thanks for reminding me of it IB. I really need to re-read it soon. I would also argue that what made it so good was the sense of history that all the characters in it shared, and the high emotional stakes that that history instilled in the readers.
Shame that it's all gone now with the DCnU.
No, Phantasm was quite dead at that time. At least, Danny Chase was, while I believe the "souls of Azarath" version had been dispersed or had gone back to Azarath.
Yes, I agree with you on both points, Blacula! In addition, JLA/Titans is one of the few minis where the writers managed to give every character something to do, and all of them were treated with the respect they deserved.
Kole maybe? (Whose fate was left undetermined at the end of the Team Titans series. Though I lean toward the idea that the 'Kole' we saw in that series was just Monarch playing tricks on the team.)
Bumblebee was present, and helped Raven, Steel, Herald, Omen and Changeling "download" Cyborg's soul.
Kole, although I greatly wish she were still alive, was listed as deceased at that time (although I believe a search by the Wildebeest Society showed her fate as "results inconclusive", but for all purposes I'm counting her as dead).
I can't remember Hawk's status at the time of this mini - Monarch? Extant? Dead? - but maybe he's the one you've got in mind?
No, not Hawk either. Though you're right, I checked the issue and the files have him lasted as "alive", as Extant.
Since your answer meets the requirements of my Q, over to you, Blacula!
The Titan I had in mind was Minion, who was by all accounts alive somewhere in space - though his one-panel appearance shows him unconscious
I was thinking of Minion for this question but kept deciding against him for some reason.
Hmmm - question time?
OK - Who were the 5 members of Donna's bridal party (not including the flower girl)?
Whoever names the 5th one wins.
I'd guess Starfire, Raven, Lilith, Sharon Tracy and Wonder Woman.
By the way, anyone interested in a
Titans Idol game?
You have 4 of 5 correct IB - Raven was not a member.
I guess Terry Long's daughter at that point was the flower girl.
Hmmm... Donna's "sister" in the Hinckley family?
^ That's the one IB! And I'm glad you just called her "Donna's 'sister' in the Hinckley family" because I can't remember what her name was either! haha
Over to you.
Ms. Hinckley! I don't even know if I spelled their surname right, Blacula!
Hm... Who sent Kole to her death?
Nope! He didn't do the sending
Hmmm... Earth-II Huntress?
Nope.
You have the right story, though.
Well it doesn't take a 12th level intellect to work out that Kole would have been ordered to her death by... one of the characters in the story she died in.
Oh, you never know, I could be referring to the character who ordered her to leave Olympus...
That would have been very sneaky of you if you had!
No, not Batman either.
Think female
Mary Marvel?
I remember her being there but don't remember her giving any orders.
Yes, it was Mary Marvel! She was the one who told Kole to separate Robin and Huntress from the shadow demons (as if Kole hadn't already gotten that idea). Alas, poor Kole... Come on, Mary Marvel! I'm sure you were fast enough to have rescued Robin and Huntress before the demons got to them!
Over to you, Blacula!
Well, Mary Marvel ended up suffering a fate worse than death by becoming one of the main characters in *shudder*
Countdown... so I think Kole got the better end of the stick in that deal. Haha
...
I had another question ready to go related to Kole's death in
Crisis but I think it's probably more of a Non-Legion Comics question than a Titans Comics question so I'll save it for that thread.
For this thread, an easy one -
A big deal was made about there being a traitor on the team during Johns' One Year Later era....
Who was that traitor?
When Titans LA "formed", a handful of other heroes also showed up but never "joined". Name three of them.
(You know, I wish Titans LA had taken off - the lineup was pretty good!)

Doll Man
Doll Girl
and

Hawk and Dove are right, but Bushido was shown with the intent of joining. Many fan sites consider him to have become a member.

Doll Man (who seemed more like Doll Boy to me) and Doll Girl are correct, but Hero Cruz also joined up and is considered by many fan sites to have been a member.

Hell yeah! The working people's Titans!
Well then...
Hawk
Dove
Doll Man
And as an added bonus Doll Girl.
Over to you, Quis.
The others I do remember are the Ray and Jakeem Thunder.
This will probably be an easy one.
Why did Gar say he chose the name "Changling"?
because he was an orphan?
It had been market-tested in front of a focus group by Steve Dayton?
Blacula has it.
I like Changling better than Beast Boy. But Beast Boy is not a bad code name.
^ When Gar was called Changeling, I kept thinking to myself "Beast Boy is such a cool, retro, better name." But as soon as he changed it back to that I thought "No, Changeling suits him better now."
(I loved the Beast Boy mini though.)
Probably an easy question here -
Which were the only 3 Team Titans to survive the Zero Hour purge?
Wally West
Nightwing
uh ... Donna Troy?
umm... Did you misread the question, PB?
I'm looking for TEAM Titans that didn't get erased in
Zero Hour.
Clue: Wonder Boy was not one of them.
uh OH ... who are Team Titans again?
:redface:
*ahem* ok then ...
Terra
Prestor John
and
Mirage ?
I need to read Nam'Lor's Legion appearance so I can get those references!
Terra and Mirage are correct.
Prestor Jon was erased as far as I recall.
One to go!
Deathwing was the last
Blacula, the joke is that when Nam'lor appeared, he fell in love with one of Duo Damsel's bodies. However, his aura (which gives him his powers) turned her evil, causing Lu (and Chuck) to have to fight Lu.
^ Yes he was.
And wasn't he a great character that was totally worth saving! haha Would so have rathered Redwing or Killowat being spared instead.
P.S. Ohhhh that's Nam'lor. I've actually got that issue but had totally forgotten that was him.
Yes, Redwing and Killowat were both much more interesting. Ah well, door's not closed for them coming back
So since I know you usually give the next question to the one who got the last correct answer...
Another easy one -
Who got jealous of Flamebird's closeness to Beast Boy?
Nope, as far as I know, that Terra never met Flamebird.
And you're correct. This happened in the Titans issue where Titans LA was "formed". Over to you, Blacula.
Everyone remembers the original Titans West.
And some may remember the very short-lived Titans L.A. that pop up in a lot of IB's questions (
).
But how many people know that there was supposed to be
another Titans West in between them?
In the late 80s/early 90s Marv Wolfman and George Perez had plans to create a sister-title to the
New Teen Titans that would have starred a new version of this team.
First person to tell me who the 5 pre-existing Titan characters that would have formed the core of this team are wins.
I actually had no idea there was almost another West team, though I find it fascinating. Given the time frame and who was popping in and out of the book in that era, I'll guess...
Aqualad, Bumblebee, Herald, Red Star, and Speedy
^ I know, right! I only just found out about this almost-team too and now I'm rueing what might have been.
Apparently, it was a toss-up between this book and Teen Titans Spotlight and editorial chose TTS instead which is super-annoying because a) how good would another Wolfman/Perez Titans book have been?; and b) TTS was really boring.
As for your guesses, you only have one correct.
1.
2. Red Star
3.
4.
5.
Though I imagine Herald and Bumblebee would have had to make a guest-appearance or two since Wolfman had just established them as living on the West Coast around this time too.
1. Lilith
2. Red Star
3. Golden Eagle
4. Hawk
5. Dove
I remember reading the article on this. Hmmm...
Thunder and Lightning
Bat-girl/Flamebird
Cyborg?
Sorry, Jerry - none of your new guesses were correct.
But IB must have read the right article because we now have 4 of the 5!
1. Cyborg
2. Red Star
3.
4. Thunder
5. Lightning
Whoever gets the last one, wins!
And that was the last one!
It was probably pretty easy once you realise the team would have been formed by most of the characters who had guest-starred in the main book around that time.
Strange that there were no females on the team but maybe Marv and George were going to create some new ones just for it?
And what a shame we missed out on them if so! Raven, Starfire, Terra, Kole... those two guys proved they could create interesting and unique female Titans!
Back to you IB.
Hear, hear. When Marv said he regretted killing Kole off, I was hoping he'd bring her back permanently.
I was really going mostly from memory as well. I can clearly remember thinking that the proposed team was both powerful and versatile.
Which Titan had the most number of simultaneous girlfriends?
There was a horrible gay-panic period where Jericho suddenly seemed to acquire about a dozen girlfriends so I'll say him.
so many studs in not so Teen Titans.
Garfield Logan, ladies like the Beast Boy!
I was going to guess Nightwing.
Starfire?
In War Games, there was a page where the Titans warn their loved ones about an impending attack.
Besides Jericho's mom, guess who else he warned?
At least 7 girlfriends were shown in-panel (and there was one more at the start of the story). All the girls had a picture of herself with Jericho.
*mutter grumble mutter grumble* I feel it weakened Jericho's character. As a sensitive person, he should have known better than to maintain so many girlfriends. Friends, yes, but these girls certainly seemed to have a romantic interest in him, and may have thought it was both mutual and exclusive.
In any case, back to you Blacula!
What was War Games again, IB? The only story I know by that name was a terrible Batman crossover from the mid-00s.
I don't recognise the plot you mention either. But I do remember an issue from shortly after Jericho lost the mutton-chops and replaced them with a mullet that implied he had a bevy of women coming and going from his apartment. I think they were all hypnotised by his sensitive new-age music and paintings. Gah! That character made me want to vomit at times.
New question to come soon.
Rats. Sorry, Blacula, I meant
"Teen Titans: Games" . Somehow I remembered it as War Games.
Must have been those Matt Broderick and Ally Sheedy appearances..
Oohh I really need to buy Games. I've been waiting for it to come out in TPB. I wonder if that's happened yet?
Hmmm... question time...
OK - What do Roy (Arsenal) Harper and Thomas (Catman) Blake have in common (that no one else also has in common with them)?
Both slept with Batman?
More seriously, thinking about it, did both sleep with Chesire?
And make Cheshire pregnant? *gasp*
Quis - you were half way there but it's highly doubtful that Roy and Thomas were the only men to do that with Jade.
However, IB got the last part in that they were (as far as we know) the only two men to have children by her.
Back to you IB!
Name one super-villain that Kole successfully defeated. I'm not counting that monster she beat when the Titans fought the Thia.
I was going to say made her preggers, but thought "Did Cheshire have 2 kids? I don't think so"
To guess on IB's question:
Dr Light?
I can see this but I can't spit it out ....
Trident?
Seems unlikely for Chesire to have two kids, but wasn't the second one conceived either after Lian died, or she was sure she wouldn't be able to see Lian anymore?
No to all of the above.
Oh, I suppose Dr. Light would count for animated Kole, but not the comics version
I assume the Cheshire/Catman-kid thing happened during the Secret Six series, since that's the only place that was giving Catman any story development. If so, I think that would mean it pre-dates the death of Lian.
Seems like a pretty dumb development either way. Why diffuse the probably one thing that Cheshire is most known for and has kept her a frequent antagonist/guest-star all these years (the fact that she had a child by a super-hero)?
Unless they wanted to go all the way and have her have children by a dozen different super-heroes? That would have been hilarious!
---
As for the question, I'm drawing a blank...
Her freaky scientist parents?
No, not Kole's parents.
Hint - think of someone Kole fought in a series outside the Teen Titans comics.
Re Cheshire, if she did have kids with dozens of people, they could form their own super-team. And they should be named after their fathers, as a homage to Duela Dent.
Arsenal's Daughter
Catman's Son
Guy Gardner's Son
Wildcat's Twins
Hal Jordan's Son
Hal Jordan's Other Son
Hal Jordan's Other Other Son
Angle Man?
I am assuming the other series is Crisis
I was thinking Crisis too but couldn't think of any villains she defeated there - unless IB is making a call-back to a previous question of his and the answer is Black Adam?
Correct, it IS Black Adam
My memory for the Titans comics isn't as sharp as my memory for the Postboot Legion or portions of Justice League runs, so I usually ask questions about my fave characters. Kole is easy (for me) to ask questions about since her existence was so hort
Back to Blacula!
Lian Harper had 5 full-time nannies during her short life. Please name 2 of them.
(Lian will smile down upon you if you can name more than that.)
Rose Wilson.
I knew another one was from Qurac but can't recall her name...
Rose Wilson, Chanda Madan, Ron.
^ I was wondering if you'd get it.
All correct and the only ones missing are Martin and Erika Santos from New Titans Annual #11, New Titans #126 and the Arsenal mini.
Over to you SK.
In Team Titans, there was a subset of girl rock musicians who formed a giant robot together, and they were collectively referred to as "Metallik".
There were five members. Name three.
Bongo, Bass... that's all I got.
Axe, Drumstick, Solo, Shredder, Frontwoman.
I just made up 5 rock-band related super-hero sounding names. Haha Maybe one will be right though?
I'll concede to Invisible Brainiac. He got two right. Sorry Blacula.
And I'm sorry I took so long to reply. I honestly forgot about this.
No worries, SK. It's happened to me many times before
That's what we're here for - to remind each other when we forget
Hmmm... Alas, I don't know THAT much about the Titans, so I always have a hard time coming up with good questions.
During the JLA/Titans mini, two former Titans didn't side with the other Titans. Who were they?
Atom and Green Lantern because they stuck with their JLA buddies?
Correct, and over to you Blacula!
The grandson of which Justice Society villain once fought the Titans?
^ Neither of those answers are correct (as far as I know).
Clue: This character used the same identity as his grandfather so he is ___________ II.
Not Icicle either.
Clue: This character is not the only super-villainous descendant of his grandfather.
NOT:
Vandal Savage
The Wizard
Icicle
Killer Wasp
Well, if he is numero II, that rules out The Mist, as Mist II was I's daughter.
I see you did not specify Golden Age-originating villains, so I will guess...
Baron Blitzkrieg.
Good guess but no. I'll help you guys out by saying that this character IS a Golden Age-originating villain.
NOT:
Vandal Savage
The Wizard
Icicle
Killer Wasp
Baron Blitzkrieg
Not the Fiddler either but we're getting closer.
NOT:
Vandal Savage
The Wizard
Icicle
Killer Wasp
Baron Blitzkrieg
The Fiddler
The Gambler it is!
Here are the two
New Titans issues that his grandson appeared in -
http://www.comics.org/issue/94262/cover/4/ http://www.comics.org/issue/48516/cover/4/ Also starring Blacula's favourite DC villain team - the Royal Flush Gang.
Really great, fun story actually!
Over to you EDE.
Okay, it's well-known that Dave Cockrum originally wanted to use the name "Starfire" for Wildfire, but this was vetoed by DC, apparently because of the pre-existing Titans character. This, of course, did not stop Wolfman from later introducing a new Starfire in his New Teen Titans (and thus forcing the original Starfire to change his name).
There is a certain distinctive characteristic of the second Starfire that actually suggests that the name "Wildfire" would actually fit her better than the Legionnaire. So, name the characteristic, and why it suggests the "Wildfire" name would be appropriate.
Hm. Would it be the trail following her hair as she flies, which usually looks like it's on fire?
That's the trait I'm looking for, but the reason why is something a little more specific to the name.
Because her hair is so ...wild? Haha.
Nope.
So what we're after is... why would "Wildfire" have been a particularly appropriate name for a character with that effect?
Hm. During her initial appearances, did her hair trail usually leave actual fire behind on the ground?
you mean the third Starfire, actually. There was another in between the original and Koriand'r, a space opera heroine, although as far as I know her only DCU appearance was in Robinson's Starman.
Her tendency, especially early on, to go overboard in combat, to get too immersed in the thrill of battle?
She's apparently at least the fourth, as there was a one-shot Supergirl villain who used the name as well. Which makes it even more bizarre that Cockrum wasn't allowed to use the name.
Anyway, the trait is the long-hair with energy trail following her when she flies, but what we're looking for is a specific connection between that and the name "Wildfire".
Hint: If Drake Burroughs hadn't been named "Wildfire", this connection might be a bit more obvious.
When I think about this question, this
Wildfire keeps popping up in my mind
Is it because of this
Wildfire and her rather wild red hair?
That's basically it. The long-hair merging into energy trail was a distinctive feature of the original Wildfire. I'm pretty sure she originated it, being one of the first female comics characters.
I just thought it was kind of a cool fact amongst the already complicated tangle of characters using the same names, with the original Wildfire not being used in All-Star Squadron because of the Legionnaire sharing her name, while in turn the Legionnaire was originally supposed to be called "Starfire" but was prevented by another character with that name, and meanwhile the most famous Starfire borrowed a very distinctive trait from the original Wildfire.
It's part of the circle of life!
Miss Martian was responsible for which character gaining their powers?
Nope (at least, not that I'm aware)
Nope, not Solstice either.
Hint - think non-paper
Is that a clue to the Young Justice cartoon? I've never watched that I'm afraid.
Random guess - Zatara.
Oh, it does sound like something I heard in Young Justice, but can't remember. Guessing Lagon/Lagoon Boy?
Yes, I am referring to the Young Justice toon. None of those are right, though.
Clue - this character is more commonly associated with a different comic book superhero team than with Young Justice.
Well if not Lagon, then Logan/Beast Boy.
SS has it - the Young Justice Beast Boy got his powers via a blood transfusion from the YJ Miss Martian.
Go, SS!
Name two 10-letter words connected to Slade Wilson's earliest storyline.
Gee, I thought at least one of them would be obvious.
I'm going to hold it open for people guessing both together for at least 24 more hours.
Though as one of them may be far more difficult to remember, I'll accept the reason the first is no longer heard as an alternate.
No? Okay, yes, "Terminator" was one of them, and it's presumably because of the Schwartzenegger movie that they added Deathstroke and eventually all but dropped Terminator.
And though "Deathstroke" also has ten letters, it wasn't used till years later. Slade's first mission involved "promethium".
Ibby got part of it so over to him.
I was going to guess Deathstroke, but doesn't it have 11 letters?
Which Justice League member has, in another reality, first been a member of the Titans before joining the Justice League? In the Pre-Flashpoint canon, this member had always been a Leaguer first.
If I'm understanding the question properly -
Atom (Ray Palmer) - who was a JLAer before he was a Titan in the pre-Flashpoint DCU and in the Tiny Titans universe seems to be a Titan first?
^ That was a guess. I have no idea if it's true. I'm just guessing based on seeing Atom in pictures from the book.
Oops, Deathstroke does have eleven letters. Glad it wasn't the answer then, it just wasn't the red herring I thought it was.
On your question, I just want to say Cyborg, but pre-Flashpoint is the "other reality" so unless you made a typo with"pre-", he doesn't fit.
I think you both understand the question correctly. Cyborg is the opposite of the answer, yes, since he was a Titan first Pre-Flashpoint, then became a Leaguer first post-Flashpoint.
Re Atom, if he was a Titan first in the Tiny Titans Universe and then joined the League after that, he would be an acceptable answer. But I have another character in mind.
So, in the pre-Flashpoint universe, this character was a JLAer first and then a Titan? Other than the Atom, I'm having a lot of trouble coming up with a character who fits that bill.
Thinking cap on... ... ... ...
... Blue Beetle? (Ted in the JLA and then Jaime in the Titans?)
No, the character I'm thinking of is the same character, not two characters with the same code name.
I'll make my question clearer. Sorry for the confusion with the Cyborg clue above; Cyborg isn't a complete opposite. Also, sorry for the confusion in my original question - I shouldn't have added the word "first".
In the Pre-Flashpoint Universe, this character was a JLAer, but was never a Titan.
In the alternate reality I am thinking of, this character was a Titan first, then went on to join the Justice League.
Not the character I'm thinking of, though the one I have in mind is also female.
You are correct! Zatanna joined Young Justice in the YJ toon before "graduating" to the League.
Over to you, Future.
Grr. Would have said Zatanna days ago if not for the retconned "first".
Sorry, SS
My bad
How am I gonna win Legion World's secret billion dollar trivia prize now?
Well... you could hijack the Spaceopoly Board and siphon everyone's points over you your account...
Nightcrawler's web security would defeat any such underhanded attempts, I'm sure.
Titans trivia, eh?
Which Titan seems to prefer "protein paste" for their meal?
Hint - this question involves a discussion of foods, one of which has "Interlac" in the title.
Not Starfire, though she was the only other Titan in the panel with the speaker!
Interlac? Hmm...
Nightwing?
Originally posted by Shining Son:
Nightcrawler's web security would defeat any such underhanded attempts, I'm sure.
You could also steal the trophy after it's been awarded. Just sidle up close to the winner and wham!
Not Nightwing!
Another hint: there's a physical reason this Titan would probably have to eat pastes.
This! Correct and over to Ibby.
Donna Troy was shot by a Team Titan. Name that Titan.
Nope! This was a very minor character whose name was given only once.
^ Haha Are you
trying to kill this thread?
I'm not sure Legion World has a repository of Team Titans afficionados.
Maybe some clues would be in order?
Whew this is gonna be tough
Donna's shooting occured just after the Team Titans tried, and failed, to return to their home time period.
OK, since we seem to be getting nowhere...
Her name was Sniper.
Since Blacula was the only one who guessed, over to you Blacula!
Whoops. Even after being reminded, I forgot that it's my turn to ask a question.
Here's an easyish one to get the ball rolling again -
What was the name of Slade Wilson's butler and who killed him?
Wintergreen? But can't remember whoi did kill him. Was it Slade himself?
Wintergreene is right. And Slade is half right. It was Jericho while possessing him.
Back to you IB.
Thanks, Blacula.
When the Titans reformed after the JLA-Titans crossover, the five founders each chose one new member to invite.
Name the 5 new members, and name the Titans founder who chose (NOT approached) each.
May be time for a hint here.
I'll see if I can get this one from memory...
Nightwing - Cyborg
Troia - Starfire
Flash - Jesse Quick
Tempest - Argent
Arsenal - Damage
Correct on the choices of Wally and Roy
Thanks for bumping up SS!
This is apparently an exceptionally tough one.
I suppose nobody has an issue handy.
Blacula, over to you!
Oooh I'm wondering what the right answer was though.
I'll re-guess
Flash - Jesse Quick
Arsenal - Damage
Nightwing - Starfire
Troia - Argent
Tempest - Cyborg
My question -
Which Titan was with Golden Eagle when he died?
Your re-guess is absolutely correct!! So now you triply deserve the next Q
For bonus points, these are the Titans who approached their prospects:
Tempest - Damage
Donna - Starfire
Nightwing - Jesse Quick
Flash - Argent
Arsenal - Cyborg
As for your Q: Aqualad?
Garth it was. Back to you IB.
Which recent Teen Titan thought that Kole was cool (and told her so)?
!
Nope. A male Titan said this.
Nope and nope!
But Kid Eternity was with the Titan who said it.
Nope!
But the Titan who did say it was male.
... but it wasn't Bart Allen, Marvin, Blue Beetle or Kid Eternity.
Correct!
Kid Eternity summoned Kole to help Kid Devil get into Hell. An impressed Kid Devil told Kole that he'd read her Titans file and thought she was cool; in return, she said she wished they had been Titans together.
Over to you CMK.
What's the name of the character that Gar Logan played on TV during his acting career?
Tork is indeed the name of Gar Logan's TV character.
It's weird the things you remember from a comic you haven't read in 20 years.
Umm question? .... OK, easy one - what was the most common colour on the Fab 5's original costumes? And what were the equal 2 most common colours on their final costumes before the NuBoot?
Red?
and...
white and black?
It was actually red (again) and black but I'll give it to you IB.
Your Q.
Thanks, Blacula.
In Crisis on Infinite Earths, Cyborg was chosen by the Monitor to travel to the Wild West and protect one of the vibrational "forks".
Later on, when the Monitor chose teams to travel to Earths 4, X and S, four more Titans (technically, 3 Titans and 1 ally) were chosen. Name the four and the Earths they visited.
Azrael, Kole, Starfire and Changeling. I think it was Azrael to Earth-4, Kole to Earth-X and Starfire and Changeling to Earth-S.
Your 4 Titans are correct, but you only sent 2 of them to the correct Earths.
Changeling to Earth-S.
Kole to Earth-X.
Azrael to Earth-X.
Starfire to Earth-4.
I so feel like Azrael and Starfire should be swapped round but that doesn't fit IB's clue.
Starfire to Earth-X and Kole to Earth-S?
CMK is correct! Kole and Gar went to Earth S, Starfire to X, and Azrael to 4.
OVer to you CMK.
Which Titan was mentally tormented by the Antithesis in the framing story of Secret Origins Annual # 3 (Teen Titans origin)?
Which two Titans were seen taking the subway in LA?
CMK: come to think of it, I can't remember if it was the bus or the subway.
But in any case, it was Beast Boy and Flamebird so Blacula has the next Q!
When Nightwing gave Danny Chase a secret tracking device in 'Titans Hunt', what was it disguised as?
Clue: it's something that nearly everyone uses every day.
Something else else much, much, much older than a cellphone.
I suppose people have been using things to write with for thousands of years, but something much, much, much, much older than what we nowadays think of as a "pen".
Clue: It would be impossible to count how many have passed through your hands in your lifetime.
A ball of cotton? (yeah, I'm just guessing here)
Not cotton.
This is a man-made object. A very ancient man made object. One that nearly every single person on earth above a certain age will have held in their hand at least once. And for the VAST majority of the people on earth, they will have held many, many, many, many of these objects in their hands during their lifetimes. In fact - you probably held one in your hand at some point today IB. And if not, I'm sure you've got a bunch in your house somewhere. As does everyone else on Legion World.
Not a pencil (or any other sort of communication device). But, like a pencil, is already starting to become obsolete and will probably be considered a dead artifact in about a hundred years.
Haha No, not a pin. You are going to kick yourself when you find out what this item is.
It is something soooooooooooooo much more common than a pin.
Clue summary:
An item that has been around for thousands of years.
Nearly every person on earth (over a certain age) will use at least one (and in fact almost certainly a lot more than one) every day.
I'm 100% positive that everyone at Legion World has at least one in their house right now.
This is an extreeeeeeeemely common item.
However, despite its longevity, it's days look to be numbed now and I foresee it being obsolete within the next century.
Not a:
Cellphone
Pen
Ball of cotton
Pencil
Pin
New clue - this item comes in different shapes and sizes.
I'm certian I will! But for the life of me I can't think of what it is. There seem to be so many items that could fit.
A... piece of cloth of some sort?
No. It's much more specific than that. Run through your day today IB. Think about all the objects you held in your hand as the day progressed. I bet you'll get to this item before the day is even half over (if you had a 'normal' day). Think about the second clue below again. What item do we often have multiple copies of in our hands at at least some point every day?
Clue summary:
1. An item that has been around for thousands of years.

6. Comes in different shapes and sizes.

A piece of cloth
New clue - a man-made object that can often be found in museums.
Keep thinking.

Oops sorry about that.
Um... easy one. For which Titan did Kole have romantic feelings?
Correct! Over to you thothkins!
oh heck, must have questions before I give guesses...
Who were the first two members of Steve Dayton's Hybrid?
Steve Dayton sends a mental bolt in your direction for an incorrect answer.
I know. I tried to stop him, but the guy's just out of control. All I asked was if he could get me Rita Farr's autograph...
Dunno joined after Behemoth I'm afraid.
Actually, I'm not afraid, but you are as Steve Dayton drones on endlessly about how he became rich until your ears bleed!
Gorgon and Harpy?
I thought Behemoth was first ...
I think this era of Teen Titans was actually probably pretty good ... now ... but at the time it was a bit ... different.
sort of like the B Titans to the Perez and Wolfman team.
Gorgon & Harpy it is. They encountered something in the Temple of Medusa, and were shipped off to Steve Dayton for further experiments. Odd that Dayton would be financing their expedition to the temple...
From Teen Titans #24 "You two are the first of my Hybrid. When our third member is ready, I will strike."
Also double checked against Who's Who vol I.
I checked there because I thought someone else was the first member too, when I read the issue for the question.
Over to you Power Boy!
ok hay!
I was afraid it was Prometheus.
Who killed the original Aqua Girl?
Who was in the Titans team that went to protect the diplomats at Zermatt?
Wonder Girl
Speedy
Robin
Flash
Aqua Lad
Hawk
?
That's the team. Possibly all of them at a very low ebb.
Wonder Girl - doubting her own ability to do anything.
Speedy - reluctant to be on the mission as Cheshire is the foe.
Robin - Jason Todd. Out of his depth, but relied upon by others.
Flash - honouring Barry Allen in a very focused way.
Aqua Lad - uncaring about anything after Tula's death*
Hawk - psychological issues following the death of Dove.
*link to the last question
Your turn Power Boy
holy crap ... I thought I might have missed one.
I liked that era even if it was a bit boring ... Wonder Girl tried to pull it all together ...
I thought that her self doubt was a little much. I could understand that she wasn't a confident leader having worked alongside the first Robin., but it she almost crashed the jet into civilians in a moment of self angst.
great cover though...

Didn't help that she and Dick had that argument when he got back from Tamaran about the state of the team: Kole dead, Cyborg and Changeling off chasing Steve Dayton, Raven missing...
ah, was it his break up with Starfire that had turned Grayson into a bit of a wreck at the time?
I don't recall what exactly happened on Tamaran, but I think it would have been Starfire-related troubles that contributed
(btw, if Power Boy doesn't ask a new Q soon we'll have to remind him so as not to derail the trivia thread
)
Name one Titan brainwashed by Brother Blood! Now!!!!
that was more of a push and pull ... seduction ...
as far as i know ...
I am thinking of someone else.
no. Azrael was just crazy ... not brainwashed.
Dick Grayson? I seem to remember a cover where he's being told by Brother Blood to press some button or something that will... electrocute(?) the other Titans. Not sure if he was brainwashed at the time.
I could have sworn Raven was brainwashed by the new Brother Blood, but maybe he just kidnapped her. Hmmm.
Kid Eternity?
I agree with Blacula. I recall a cover with Grayson and white robed Raven either side of Brother Blood.
I could have sworn Raven was brainwashed by the new Brother Blood, but maybe he just kidnapped her. Hmmm.
Kid Eternity?
If I remember correctly he was trying to manipulate her ... and she went along with it for a while because she is disturbed ... I could be wrong BUT ...
DICK GRAYSON was properly brainwashed!
Over to you Blacs!
My second guess was going to be Magenta. Wasn't her first appearance (as 'Magenta') when she attacked the Titans under BB's influence? Or was it just one of her 'standard go crazy and attack the Titans' periods? My memory of that era is very hazy.

Question -
Which Titan villain killed a character that shares a code-name with a member of the JLA (I actually thought they were that member of the JLA until I wiki'd them)?
Doctor Light
I think Magneta was just a bit nuts. Possibly due to her mother thinking she was possessed.
I wish Magenta wasn't nuts.
Anyway,
Deathstroke!
I may have misread this one... but it's as good a guess as anything I might have had.
I wish Magenta weren't nuts too. She had such potential, and with all the grief from her kooky mother... wished she'd had some happiness.
Persuader?
As far as I know, and correct me if anyone knows different - No to Psimon, Doctor Light, Deathstroke and Persuader.
My original question was going to be - Which Titan villain killed a member of the JLA? But then a wiki search revealed that this character had never actually been a JLA member. Though another character with the exact same code name had. It's all a bit complicated but to say more might give the question away, and it will hopefully make sense when the answer is revealed.
I'd call him more of a Marvel Family villain. But no, not Sobek.
I've got to say I'm stumped. I've been looking at lists of Justice League members, but am having a hard time thinking of one who shares a code name of someone else who was killed...
Phobia?
Prometheus?
I really thought it was Deathstroke killing the Atom II.
Blackfire killed off the Hawks. But they were impostor Hawks who may or may not have been part of the JLA.
I'll let someone else work out the Hawkman continuity.:)
Blackfire killing Hawkwoman was indeed who I was thinking of. I had always thought that the post-Hawkworld Hawkwoman was just a new version of Shayera Hol. I hadn't realised she was this new character Shayera Thal.
However, I had totally forgotten (if I ever knew it having not read that period of crappy Titans comics) that Deathstroke had also killed a JLA name-sake member in Atom IV, Ryan Choi (after Pratt, Palmer and Cray).
So on that basis, Power Boy should really get the next question. Back to you, Brian!
P.S. thothkins - I believe that the Hawkwoman that Blackfire killed was not the JLA-imposter version. That one had been killed off years before by the JLA-imposter version of Hawkman.
God, the Hawks continuity was a nightmare. Such great characters reduced to an untouchable mess. And now Dan Didio's decided to adopt the same strategy for the entire rest of the DCU!
OK.
In the Terror of Trigon storyline of The New Teen Titans of Marv and George ...
When each Titan was tormented with a twisted nightmare ...
What was Starfire's nightmare?
Hmmm... Tamaran enslaved by Blackfire?
yep you get it ... I don't know if it was Blackfire but honestly I don't remember ...
anyway I was looking for slavery.
Ooh, thanks.
Speaking of crazy dreams and fantasies...
In JLA/Titans, Cyborg "kidnapped" the Titans and placed them in virtual reality worlds showing what he thought would be their secret fantasies.
What was Garth's fantasy?
I'll go for the obvious and say 'To be with Tula'?
I'd love to say it was discovering his mystic heritage. I'd love to say it was coming out form Aquaman's shadow or that he was King of Atlantis.
But wasn't it being faced with a Dolphin/Tula merged girlfriend?
Nope!
I'd love to say it was discovering his mystic heritage. I'd love to say it was coming out form Aquaman's shadow or that he was King of Atlantis.
Indeed, those weren't it.
But wasn't it being faced with a Dolphin/Tula merged girlfriend?
Very close, thothkins. Oh, so very close
In fact, close enough that I'll give it to you. Only part you missed out was the third women in the merger: Letifos.
Ah, I've not really heard of her. Thanks for deciding I was close. It didn't say much about Aqualad though did it?
Which three character formed the final Trinity of seeds that enabled the rebirth of the Greek Titans?
I hadn't heard of her until the JLA/Titans mini either. In any case, it was Cyborg's idea of his teammates fantasies, and some of the others were pretty bad too - Terra II being chained up because she was mistaken for Terra I, for example. Says more about Cyborg losing touch with his humanity than it does about Aqualad
As for your Q...
I'm pretty sure Donna Troy is one of them. Can't recall the other two though.
She might be, she might not be...
I'd love to say it was discovering his mystic heritage. I'd love to say it was coming out form Aquaman's shadow or that he was King of Atlantis.
But wasn't it being faced with a Dolphin/Tula merged girlfriend?
OH .. I thought you meant an animal dolphin not Dolphin.
I was going to say .... ew.
Ah, I've not really heard of her. Thanks for deciding I was close. It didn't say much about Aqualad though did it?
Which three character formed the final Trinity of seeds that enabled the rebirth of the Greek Titans?
Donna Troy Starfire and Cyborg
A very good guess, but only one is correct.
Donna Troy, Arella and Danny Chase
Letifos was the mermaid/shark-lady who helped out Garth in his Tempest series. I don't remember her being much of a love-interest but that series was also drawn by Jiminez so he must have felt like including her.
---
As for this question -
Donna Troy, Sparta and Xanthi?
No for Power Boy and Invisible Brainiac.
Oh so very, very close for Blacula but not quite.
Donna Troy, Sparta and Dark Angel?
Close, but not as close as Blacula.
Donna Troy, Sparta and that-alien-guy-whose-name-I-can't-remember-but-had-a-mohawk-and-I-think-was-an-antagonist-for-part-of-the-story.
That's the guy. How they managed to fit that name into those little balloons is a mystery to me
Now we have Troy, Sparta and >insert name of related place<
I don't remember his name unfortunately so I'll leave it for someone else to take the reins here.
Then you're close enough for me. It was Athyns.
Forgot to do the obligatory "Over to you Blacula", so...um.. Over to you Blacula!
Blacula might just not have checked in yet. I'll send him a PM if he still hasn't responded in a couple of days
Whoops. Sorry about delay.
Q - Supervillains who are father and son are fairly common but I can think of a mother/daughter pair that the Titans have come up against too (though not at the same time).
Can you name them?
I had to look up Gemini. I had no idea who she was.
IB had the two I was thinking of. I wonder if there were any others?
Anyway, over to you, IB.
I can't think of any others off the top of my head
I only got this Q because I'd been reading through bios on Titans Tower a while back.
When Terra I was reanimated as a Black Lantern in Blackest Night, which five Outsiders did she fight?
Geoforce, Halo, Black Lightning, Metamorpho and Katana?
Oh so nearly the classic line up
I was wondering if Geo Force was in the JLA at that point, but there's no way they would avoid having him meet his dead sister.
I'd have thought either Katana to drop out. Although Katana's katana could decapitate Terra in front of Brion in one of those traumatic scenes that comics loves. Halo would be very handy in Blackest Night I'd have thought.
The only Outsiders issue I read for years was something by DiDio. Dreadful. Some muscle stereotype and an Owlman knock off.
So drop Halo for Owlman?
Still four right
I'll comment on the issue after the correct Outsiders have been guessed.
Hint: all the 5 Outsiders have already been named
Geo-Force, Black Lightning, Metamorpho, Katana and... Grace?
Whoops. Should have read clues properly before guessing.
Your last guess had 3 Outsiders correct, Blacula.
Geoforce, Halo, Black Lightning, Metamorpho and Owlman?
I can't seem to think of Owlman without picturing Nighthawk...
And you have it right, thothkins! The Black Lantern Terra attacked the four male Outsiders you mentioned, and was only stopped when Halo flew over and blasted her with light.
Over to you.
This occurred after Geo-force's very short Justice League tenure, I remember. Katana was also a member, but she and the Creeper (and Halo and their prisoner Killer Croc!) had just faced Black Lanterns of Katana's family. Halo then flew all the way to Outsiders HQ to rescue the guys.
thothkins is currently trapped by Doctor Light in the Titans Tower. Once Light has been defeated a new question will arrive.
It's a good thing my Invisible Brainiac powers are more powerful than Doctor Light's!
Oops, wait, I meant Arthur Light, not Kimiyo Hoshi! Don't yell at me, Kimi!
(and now Invisible Brainiac is likewise unavailable)
Gentle
up for thothkins
Didn't I get nagged in another thread for this ?
Just helping you find the thread
I had my Titans comics looked out on the day the board went down. I did! It's true! I was rereading Stray Bullets since then in my spare comics moments.
In which African country did the Titans discover a rather damaged Cliff Steele/ Robotman?
Memory (hah) or Internet searches aren't anywhere near as fun as digging out old comics to look at.
Ibby has speedily posted my question above, meaning that I can't get away with putting it in the wrong place.
Darn kids...spoiling my part time fairground management/blackmail syndicate...
Zaire / Democratic Republic of the Congo
That would be a no, but it's the closest guess.
The Republic of the Congo?
Zambia?
Not:
Ghana
Gabon
Zaire/DRC
Republic of the Congo
A little further away now.
Yay! It was indeed Uganda where they came across Cliff Steele, tied to a big stone or something. That was part of the hunt for the Doom Patrol killers in the early part of the Wolfman/Perez run.
Cool! I remembered that story, and remembered that there was a "G" in the country's name. Without your geographic clues (thanks for them by the way) I would have probably guessed Guinea and The Gambia first.
Okay, um... thread crossover time!
Impulse (Bart Allen) asked to join the Legion when they were stranded in the 20th century. He got 1 Yes and 6 Nos. Who voted Yes and who voted No?
Brainy said yes, because Impulse had been sneaking around for him.
Everyone else trapped in the 20th century said no. What? You want names?
ummmm... Cosmic Boy, Gates, Joined at Hip Lad & Lass, Lightning Lass and oh yeah Saturn Girl. Yeah, I peeked for Saturn Girl...
And over to you, thothkins. (PS, it's Spark not Lightning Lass. Reboot and I will be very cross at you :p)
I knew you'd pick me up on Spark. I even had it in and deleted it, just to let you type that
New question shortly...no really...
The citadel had a Psion working for them. What was his plan to bring to heel the revolutionaries in the Vegan system?
Enslave a member of their royal family to break their spirit?
That's very, very close just not a member of royalty as such.
Hmm... to enslave several members of the revolutionary group, to show the futility of resistance etc. etc.?
Colder now. You were correct in identifying their plan as involving an individual. But bigger than royalty...
Their plan was too enslave and control a god/goddess?
Yay! They were going to enslave the goddess X'Hal!
Over to you Ibby!
Ah, finally it rang a bell!
Okay, let's see...
Kole had a lot of great moments in Crisis before her untimely demise.
Which two heroes did she save from Black Adam?
Hint: one of those used to be a Titan, while the other was a Titans ally.
I believe it was Dove and Robotman.
Correct! Over to you thothkins.
(Kole had so many good moments during Crisis. Wolfman and Perez did too good a job making me care for her before they killed her off. *sob*)
With Raven and Nightwing converted to Brother Blood and the other Titans defeated, it was left to Magenta (Frances Kane)to summon help. Six superheroes are shown in the Titans Tower, located by the Titans Computer. Who were they?
"But will you save them..or die trying?" says Magenta in a line that loses none of it's lameness down the years.
I have to restrain myself from naming members of Flash's Rogues. The number six makes me think that they are:
Geo-Force
Halo
Katana
Looker
Black Lightning
Metamporpho
Not an Outsider in sight. Despite having teamed up with them, and of course the Batman/Nightwing connections. I don't think Frances really spent a lot of time around computers, frankly.
Booster Gold
John Stewart
Katma Tui
Batman
Superman
Wally West
Booster Gold
John Stewart
Katma Tui
Batman
are correct
Superman seems to appear out of nowhere at the start of the next issue and isn't with the others when Magenta delivers her line of lameness.
Wally West was probably agonising over his relationship with Raven while being betrayed by her and shot by Brother Blood. That's what usually happened to him.
Booster Gold wore a little cape I'd not seen him in before that issue.
Hmmm...
Wonder Woman
Barry Allen
Not as high profile as those two. Not that Barry was that high profile as he was possibly dead at that point.
Not them. I'm not sure if there was a Dove at that point.
Wolfman seemed to veer away a bit from Titans connections if that's any help.
Neither as connected to the titans as Emily's nor as marquee as Ibby's. Neither is an obscure character, if only by name for one of them.
Robin (Jason Todd)
Dr. Light (Kimiyo)
No Hal or Kara. Not in that league.
Not Jason who was seen in Donna's rebooted Titans.
Not Kimiyo who did appear in a Titans issue - Donna telling a story? Would have been an excellent fit for this sort of story to raise her profile a bit.
Hmmm... how obscure are we getting?
Starman (Will Payton)
Martian Manhunter
I remember the issue where Kimiyo appeared. Good story, and it always seemed silly to me that Kimiyo, who had such a big role in COIE, wasn't used more (she was a member of the new Justice League for what, 3 issues?)
Will Payton who turned down joining the JLA in a poor career decision.
Not Manhunter, who had come out of the wilderness a bit by that point.
So far, Power Girl is the closest.
Huntress (Helena Bertinelli)
The Question
I have to guess this, they are my favorite DC couple.
The Huntress is as close as Power Girl.
Magenta didn't feel there was enough time for questions
So, Will Payton is wrong?
Hmmm
Star-spangled Kid
Fury
Star Spangled Kid, or Skyman as he probably was by that point, is correct.
It isn't Fury who is with him though. It's one of the more obscure ones.
Booster Gold
John Stewart
Katma Tui
Batman
Skyman
Wildcat II (Yolanda)
STRIPESY?
So the correct answers are:
Booster Gold
John Stewart
Katma Tui
Batman
Skyman
Wrong answers are:
Superman
Wally West
Wonder Woman
Geo-Force
Halo
Katana
Looker
Black Lightning
Metamorpho
(and the rest of the Outsiders)
Barry Allen
Black Canary
Firestorm
Hawk
Dove
Speedy
Robotman
Darkfire
Tigorr
Robin (Jason Todd)
Dr. Light (Kimiyo)
Hal Jordan
Power Girl
Elongated Man
Zatanna
Starman (Will Payton)
Martian Manhunter
Huntress (Helena Bertinelli)
The Question
Fury
Emily is not far away with Wildcat II
Not Stripesy.
Dr. Mid-Nite -- (Beth Chapel)
Yay! The second Dr Mid-Nite, who was later killed off in an Eclipso issue that also killed off Yolanda Montez among others such as Manhunter, Creeper and Peacemaker.
I remember the Infinity Inc cover showcasing Beth alongside Rick Tyler, the new Hourman. At least her costume looked good.
Over to Ibby.
Alas, they were just used as cannon fodder. I appreciate DC's intent to make their heroes more diverse (we get a female African-American and a female Latin-American, at least I think she was American) but both are killed off. Oh well.
Yay! That was a good question which brought me back to a good issue. Sad that Magenta's been basically ruined by DC now (as with many of their heroes...)
In Teen Titans 100, Superboy-Prime's team attacked the Titans. Luckily, a whole bunch of former Titans showed up to help out.
Name the 25 Titans who appeared in that issue. Please limit your guesses to the number of un-guessed characters on the list. For code names which are shared by multiple characters (e.g. Green Lantern, Ant-Man) pls. specify which character you are guessing.

Perhaps someone can say who Supergirl was at the time. I'll pop in Kara Zor -El on the off chance.
What about the female Speedy?
Correct to both!
Of the remaining 3, 1 was a current team member at the time. 2 are female, 1 is male. One female is closely connected to another female who has been guessed. One of the 3 is also a legacy, and in fact shares a legacy with someone who has already been guessed.

Yes, that was the character with light powers, or something like light powers! I had no idea who Hotspot was, so that clears that up too.
And Blacula swoops in out of nowhere to guess the last Titan! It was indeed Solstice.
As is the usual, poster to guess the last character it. So, over to you Blacula!
Thanks IB. I've been so busy lately I haven't had the chance to visit these trivia threads in a while.
Question to come soon.
OK -
We all know that the Teen Titans have been the stars of at least 2 real-life cartoons.
But did you know that a cartoon about the team reached the pilot stage within the continuity of the DCU too?
Which 5 members of the team were the featured stars of that cartoon?
Starfire
Robin
Cyborg
Changeling
Wonder Girl
You have three correct (although one of your three was not using that code-name at the time.).
A bit of a guess really, assuming this is from the Titans Sell Out thingy. I guess Robin was Nightwing by then
Nightwing
Changeling
Widebeest
Terra
Starfire
Nightwing
Changeling
Cyborg
Raven
Red Star
TK has 4 correct (and is correct about the source material too).
IB has 2 correct.
I was pretty much out of the Titans by then, so I've only skimmed it. Didn't it take a while to come out? It's something I seem to have waited for but lost interest in by the time it came around.
Since it was after Titans Hunt...
Nightwing
Changeling
Wildebeest
Pantha
Starfire
Nightwing
Changeling
Starfire
Baby Wildebeest
Danny Chase
TK has the 5 correct Titans. You know you're in a bygone era when Pantha and Baby Wildebeest are considered as possible lead characters in a TV series!

I know those 5 are right.
I think the 6th was that green snake-like lady who I think was Harpis' sister and ended up betraying the team and getting killed. Damned if I can remember her name though.
No, it's not her. She would appear in the story though. Demonia wasn't it?

Yay! It was Nimbus. Soon to be trapped between worlds in the Crisis.
Over to you Ibby!
Poor, poor Nimbus.
Be back with a question soon!
Which two Titans did Kole encase - or attempt to encase - in crystal?
Starfire & Jericho?
Or
Chandelier Lass and Decanter Boy as they are now known
Starfire (first into battle without Kid Flash) and Wonder Girl (as it was an Amazons/Olympus story)?
Chandelier Lass and Goblet Girl
Correct! Over to you thothy
When Steve Dayton went nuts and turned on Questor, four Titans went to investigate. Name 'em.
Kole, Cyborg, Changeling, Wonder Girl?
With both Kole and the Crisis involved I didn't think this one would get far
But the two issues I pulled out were the Crisis crossovers.
Some interesting dialogue between Cyborg and Changeling. There's a lot of work going on in making sure that they always communicate their problems to each other. It's beyond just friendship or being team mates. They really depend on each other.
Yeah, the Vic/Gar relationship has always been very strong.
Hmm...
When the Titans reformed after the JLA/Titans series, the 5 founders picked one new member each to join. Two more were offered membership.
We also saw 3 more Titans waiting - in vain - to get a call. Who were these three?
Firebird - she was waiting by the phone for a whole page.
Changeling? - sort of left out of the mix?
Duela Dent? - or Joker's Daughter or whatever she was.
Duela is correct.
I know who you're referring to for the other guess, but you got the codename wrong.
And Changeling is not correct - he was also extended a (belated) invitation.
Flamebird isn't it?
If not Changleing then its either Bumblebee or Mal Duncan (whatever ID he was suing at the time). I'll go with Mal as Bumblebee joined the Doom Patrol later on.
And that's that. Mal, Flamebird and Duela were the three. Gar and Superirl (Matrix) were the two not part of the original 5 recruits who received invitations (both from Roy, that horndog). Over to you thothkins.
Btw, Mal also joined the Doom Patrol later on. Both Mal and Bumblebee were unaffiliated with the Doom Patrol (and still hale and hearty) at that time.
Was Mal there too? I only remember the bumblebee costume.
Who was the villain responsible for the events that would form the Titans West group.
That's right Blacula. Over to you.
Was Mal there too? I only remember the bumblebee costume.
Mal was in the Doom Patrol in his
Vox persona.
Which Titan once dated a sorceress named Nirka McDuff?
Garth? Sound like a windswept celtic name.
Ohmygosh! This is why I should not be asking/answering questions in Spaceopoly anymore. I'm so distracted with work atm I *completely* forgot I'd asked this one.
Thanks to IB for reminding me!
Anyhoo, thothkins is indeed correct that it was Garth who had the rather unfortunate dalliance with her during that weird period when he went to a boarding school in Scotland.
Over to you TK.
That was a great issue. Garth looked across the western isles of Scotland, feeling a sense of belonging for the first time. Only to be shot by Moira MacTaggert for not being a mutant.
Question....sooooooooon!
Garth went to a boarding school in Scotland? Wow. These Titans and their wacky adventures.
In probably the low point of his pre-psycho career, which characters beat Teen Titans villain Dr Light?
No, it was lamer than that.
Kid Devil and Duela Dent? (just going on the record that I don't think Duela was lame! She was pretty cool!)
Oh, lamer than that and note where I've put Teen Titans in the question, in case you're wandering off track.
Umm I just want to mention that the four Titans mentioned so far are some of my favourite DC characters, and in the case of Herald, my favourite DC character!
As for a guess, no idea but I'll say... The Inferior Five?
Sugar and Spike?
Yes, I had a hunch the characters weren't Teen Titans, but had trouble thinking of non-Titans characters.
Umm I just want to mention that the four Titans mentioned so far are some of my favourite DC characters, and in the case of Herald, my favourite DC character!
Aw Blacula, you know I love all these characters too! I'm just guessing obscure characters, not lame ones (I don't think any of them are lame!). And I have the utmost respect for Bumblebee, Herald, Kid Devil and Duela - all of them were able to hold their own despite not having any inherent powers when they started out.
Yup! much love to all the titans.
Not far away at all from Sugar & Spike
Not quite as close in my mind as Sugar and Spike, but not far away.
Little Boy Blue and his crew?
Yay! Little Boy Blue and the Blue Boys. I think it's the Blue Boys, even though there's a girl in there.
Having fallen so far with this defeat, Light ended up as comic relief in Suicide Squad. Obviously this wasn't because he was an idiot. It was due to mind wiping from the JLA. Obviously.
Despite being a failure, most of Arthur Light's plots had fewer holes in them than Identity Crisis had.
Over to Ibby!
I've only ever heard of Little Boy Blue, but never actually read anything with him and his Blue Boys in it.
Be back with a new question soon.
Kole's crystals are made of/based on what element?
Silicon?
(Considering her creepy origins it would have been nice if it was carbon - from the remains of organisms she absorbs)
Yoiks! I'm glad to forget her creepy origin entirely, and just focus on her cool awesome heroic moments.
And you are right, it is silicon! (Is, not was. I refuse to believe she's gone forever!)
Over to you thothy!
Aw,she had a whole Anton Arcane thing going on with her biological origins. A little mixing with her Olympian side, and she could have been a creepy hero/anti-hero/villain.
You know, apart from the fact she was a lovely, bright, sparkly superhero, tinged with sadness, from a happier, better written, age.
And apart from the fact she's very dead.
Your Titans questions approaches, clutched by Azrael. "Lilith! My Lilith! I have a Titans question for you!"
Eh, death means nothing in comic books. Unless you're Uncle Ben. Or a parent of Bruce Wayne's.
And her Olympian side consisted of her being kidnapped by crazy Thia, so... wouldn't have minded if she'd been a descendant of a Greek god though.
Bah Azrael! He should have died instead of Kole (but then, we wouldn't have cared as much).
still thinking...apparently...
Azrael was such a pain. Although the other characters mocked him, it really highlighted what an angst-fest the Titans had become.
Heaps of drama everywhere, yeah. They made being a hero not seem very fun.
In the Wolfman/Perez era, Raven had just got the team together. After being controlled to fight the JLA, the Titans look as though they may break up. Why?
Because they felt she conned them instead of just telling them the truth and asking for their help. Plus, the JLA was down on her as well.
Yup, Zatanna spills the beans and tells Kid Flash that he's been used. This would keep Wally in angst until the Crisis.
Over to you rickshaw.
Hmmmm. Okay, who sends Garth on a stretcher to Paradise Island with Wonder Girl and the gals, and why? (My second favorite Titans story, ran concurrent with the Steel story.)
Is this Titans Hunt? Was it Dick?
Nope, not Titans hunt. Not Dick. While the team does send Garth, I'm looking for the person that caused him to have to go.
Do you mean Gar, Rick? And if so, was it Deathstroke at the end of this issue?
http://www.comics.org/issue/865718/cover/4/
You got it, Blacula. Yer up.
Who caused the Titans jet to crash into the Hudson (?) River as shown on this cover?
http://www.comics.org/issue/931715/cover/4/
Oh! Oh! Was it the Hybrid?
It was the Hybrid.
TK's up.
Yay! back in a day or two with a new question.
The titans have discovered the other dimensional base of the Wildebeests. But who were the six on the team to go there to rescue the others?
Nightwing
Danny Chase
Arella
Deathstroke
Pantha
and...
Red Star?
Close, but 5 out of the six. Nightwing was one of the captives inside.
Danny Chase
Arella
Deathstroke
Pantha
Red Star
and...
Raven?
Nope. Raven did become involved but was already a captive.
Danny Chase
Arella
Deathstroke
Pantha
Red Star
and...
Aqualad?
Nope. I believe Garth may have still been in an Empire Strikes Back healing tube after being attacked by the 'beesties
Danny Chase
Arella
Deathstroke
Pantha
Red Star
and...
Donna Troy?
Yay! Donna Troy back as Troia from somewhere. My memory cell tells me she doesn't do much, with her new powers underutilised.
Then she would have the cliched, and pathetic, give birth to someone who grows into an adult plot - see also V, Power Girl, Carol Danvers and to a degree Alexander Luthor and Highfather.
Yer Up Ibby!
I knew it was one of the originals, but gosh I couldn't remember it was Donna! Looks like our memory cells agree that she didn't do much.
In the Teen Titans animated series (2003-2006), the last season had all the Titans' bad guys team up and try to kill or capture all the Titans and allies around the world. I say "try" because they only actually managed to capture maybe half the Titans, with the rest suddenly showing up in the finale unharmed and unscathed. What???
And for the longest time we were led to assume that the motley crew of 5 Titans led by one of the cartoon "originals" were the only ones left!
Which 5 Titans were these?
I've not seen the animated series, so I'll have to pass on this one.
Although if you DO want to guess, all 5 were also Titans in the comic book universe.
I'm going to have limited Internet access over the next 10 days so if I get this right, someone else can have the next question.
Not sure if I'm thinking of the right story but -
Herald
Jericho
Pantha
Mas (or Menos)
Robin
You ARE thinking of the correct story/episode, Blacula!
And you have 4 of the Titans correct (or 3, depending on how we count your parenthesis answer)
Swap Robin for Beast Boy.
Indeed! Herald, Jericho, Pantha, Mas and Beast Boy were the 5 remaining Titans. Or so we thought. After they went through $(@!(!( to infiltrate the bad guys' lair, suddenly Cyborg, Raven, Starfire, Bumblee, Kole, Gnarrk, Red Star, the four Titans "kids" created for the series, Kid Flash and Jinx come in as the cavalry! Like what? We were led to believe that they'd all been killed or at least captured!
Over to you Blacula.
A Titan once killed another Titan's relative.
Name all 3.
Name all 3 relatives killed?
Hmmm...
Was it Rose Wilson doing the killing?
No - name the Titan who killed, the Titan bereaved, and the family member who died.
None of them were Rose Wilson.
Ah, thanks for clarifying.
Was it Jericho killing Arella (Raven's mom) during Titans Hunt?
Haha I knew someone was going to think of another instance I'd forgotten about.
Because its not the occasion I had in mind, I'm going to be a meanie with the answers and disallow your guess because (strictly speaking) it was the corrupted souls of Azareth who were possessing Jericho at the time that killed Arella.
Question's still open.
Yeah, I don't think you're being a meanie as my guess is technically not correct anyway
I can't think of a particular instance, so I'll try guessing the Titan who killed and see if it will jog my memory.
Was Starfire the killer?
Why isn't that surprising
Let's see... she didn't kill Thia, that's not it...
did she kill one of her own relatives?
Did she kill a relative of Raven's, like one of her demonic half-brothers?
I don't think so. But if she did, it would have been in a Judd Winick comic, and he never wrote anything Titans related ever, in my personal history.
Oh well, there goes that idea
(if it had been a Judd Winnick comment I think a lot more people would have died!)
Lessee...
Did she kill a relative of Wally's?
^ That would have been a twist ending to R.I.P.
No one's got it yet.
The killed relative was a fairly prominent one who made quite a few appearances.
Starfire killed Alfred*?!
(who turned out to be the real father of all the Robins. Bruce had to adopt them as part of the out of court settlements.)
the thing is that Starfire spent years telling everyone that she couldn't hold back her killer instinct, but I'm really struggling to think of anyone she actually killed in the stories I've read.
There was that early cover with her looking to kill someone. That was the Hive though.
Various aliens of the Citadel don't count as relatives of the others...
Did she "kill" Slade Wilson, only for him to get better? He had some sort of healing thingy didn't he?
I've been thinking the same thing. Easy enough to guess Starfire was the killer, but I just can't recall any moment when Starfire actually killed someone, much less a relative. That's why I've been thinking of Titans with villainous relatives, I figure it would have been less of a shock if Starfire had killed a villain.
Did she kill a relative of Aqualad's?
Still no correct guesses. For victim or bereaved.
I'll tally up the incorrect guesses when I get back to Perth (if necessary).
I think it will be.
Did she kill Lilith's brother Haze?
Did she kill a relative of Cassie Sandsmark's?
Mrs Slade Wilson? The woman who trained Slade and ran that agency in the titans issues? Was her name Adele? Addy?
Jericho's brother ? Can't remember the name but he took on a costumed identity
Poor ravager. I can,t remember his name either
I couldn't even remember his identity, just that he tried to kill the Titans.
Bob Wilson? Little Davy Wilson? Plot Device Wilson? oh wait was it Grant Wilson? That's rings a bell.
TK has it. Starfire killed Joseph (Jericho) Wilson (and Grant [Ravager I] Wilson's) mum, Adeline Kane, during the Devin Grayson run. I think she'd gone crazy/evil or something so it was sort of a mercy killing.
She killed Adeline? Oh wow. Wait, and she killed Jericho himself? Huh, I knew he'd come back and gotten evil, but not that he had died again. Oh well. Revolving door of death indeed.
She didn't kill Jericho (as far as I know). Sorry if I confused you. She just killed his and Grant's mum, Adeline. She was the H.I.V.E. Queen at the time I think.
Adeline! So close.
The titans go to rescue their comrade Mirage. Mirage is being held by Raven's Seeds of Trigon. But who was on the titans team to initially go after Mirage (before the cavalry arrive) and who were the seeds.
To make it easier, here are the seeds I hadn't heard of and their leader.

Starfire

Flash

Changeling
Haha I love your description of this series IB. It did indeed suck.
Nightwing
Troia

Sadly, Blacula. Only saving grace was the art!
You have 5 correct!
Nightwing
Wonder Girl
Starfire
Omen
Flash
Arsenal
Argent
6 correct in this latest guess.
6 out of 7 correct Titans have been guessed so far.
Nightwing
Wonder Girl
Starfire
Omen
Flash
Arsenal
Garth
6 correct here
I won't even be strict and not count Wonder Girl bec you didn't specify whether it's Donna or Cassie
When in doubt it's always a safe bet to assume I'm going for the older version. The only exception to this would be if the younger version is the correct answer. Simple.
Argent
Wonder Girl
Starfire
Omen
Flash
Arsenal
Garth
Or I could always assume your guess is wrong. Simpler
And those are the correct 7 Titans. Over to you.
Well, if you're going to bring history into it, Ibby...
New question...soooooooon.
What were the youths forced to build by Brom Stikk, when Aqualad, Kid Flash and Robin teamed up and what was the name of the town where the youths had fallen out with the adults?
Yes, they teamed up against the villainous Mr Burns in the original Titans story "Don't Have a Cow" which would soon be the phrase all '60s children would use against their oppressive parents. Over to...waaaaaait a minute...
Forced to build... A giant ark?
just going with the first thing that pops into my head
That's as a decent guess, but no.
No, but it does relate to the character.
No. It also links in with the question.
Oh, like a titans tower. Good guess, but not that.
A giant broomstick? (I'm running out of ideas, and Brom Stikk kinda sounds like... well...)
Not a broomstick, but you've got exactly the right part of the question to get the answer from.
A giant stick/staff/wand?
Although Brom Stikk did have a staff that wasn't the thing about him that he wanted everyone to immortalise.
Brom Stik is actually a source of a number of good trivia questions.
I'm blankng on the answers to these ones though.
Was the town Happy Harbour?
And were they building a dam or something?
Did they build a... I don't know, a wishing well?
Brom Stik is actually a source of a number of good trivia questions.
I'm blankng on the answers to these ones though.
Was the town Happy Harbour?
And were they building a dam or something?
No to either of those. They were building something in honour of Stik.
Did they build a... I don't know, a wishing well?
Not a well, it was built up from the ground.
No, I don;t think it would have had much of a practical use.
I know Brom Stikk was Mister Twister. So... a giant statue of a twister?
Was it a giant staircase?
I saw Blacula's answer first and thought "that's pretty close" but Ibby has it. I wasn;t far away from pointing out that Brom Stik wasn;t his only name as a clu. But well done for getting it before then.
The town, which you either read or won't know was Hatton Corners.
Over to you Ibby.
I didn't know it was Hatton Corners, nope.
a statue of a giant twister. The things these villains think of.
In the War Games "unpublished" story, the Titans' loved ones became targets. One unfortunate loved one became a casualty. Who was this?
Spoiler!
I haven't read it yet but I've heard it was Sarah Simms.
Now I'm put in a tough position of having to spoil you in case you got your guess right
Do you want me to do that, Blacula?
In any case...
You were indeed right. It was later revealed that the mastermind had intended for poor Sarah to survive the bomb he'd planted. His lackey detonated the bomb early to stick to a timetable; he killed his lackey for that.
Haha I haven't clicked on your spoiler yet but I just wanted to clarify -
You mentioned "unpublished", but War Games was eventually published - I bought it (though haven't read it yet).
I had always heard that part of the reason it took so long to get off the ground was the continuity snafu with Sarah Simms - she had been killed off in that unpublished work but had shown up alive elsewhere (during Devin Grayson's run maybe?).
Was someone different killed off in the final published version? If so, don't tell me who. I wanna be surprised when I finally read it. If it was Sarah, no problem. That won't be a surprise.
Yeah, "unpublished" was a bad choice of word. I think I should have used "published late". I have a copy too
In my copy, it was indeed poor Sarah. I liked Sarah a lot and can understand why she was picked - she was very likable. She went out as a hero though, it was hardly a meaningless death.
(I would have put the above in spoiler tags, but realized that if you had asked a question, anyone reading this thread would know that you had gotten it right!)
Here's what I got from
Titans Tower. She reappeared in DC Special: Cyborg #6, 2008.
Dead Wrong: Sarah Simms was supposed to die in the long-delayed New Titans graphic novel, “Games,” originally set to be published in 1990. The book was put on hold several times, which is why Sarah Simms didn’t appear much after New Teen Titans (second series) #42 in 1988. Eventually, Sarah reappeared in DC Special: Cyborg #6 in 2008, in which Cyborg attends the wedding of Sarah Charles and DeShaun with Sarah Simms as his date. The New Teen Titans: Games graphic novel eventually saw print in 2011 with Sarah’s death intact…. but with other inherent continuity changes in the interim, the story is considered an “out of continuity” tale.
I was going to go for Jericho or Danny Chase for much the same reason. Poor Sarah. She was a good character but not the first to be underutilised due to shuffling out with a book.
Having her as a close platonic friend to Cyborg was refreshing, IMO. Not all male-female friendships need to be romantic. Of course, the romantic aspect never really went away, but... it was nice while it lasted.
As for Jericho, War Games went overboard with trying to prove his heterosexual manliness. There's a scene where he contacts maybe 7 girls to warn them they might be targets. SEVEN. And all of them had framed pictures of themselves with him. What the heck? I have no problem with Jericho being popular with the women; I have no problem with him dating women; I do have a problem with him dating around so casually with so many women at the same time. He was one step away from being a womanizer, which is not in line with the gentle, sensitive and emotionally adept guy I had thought he was. Leave the womanizing to Roy Harper (one of my least favorite Titans, sorry Roy fans!)
I can;t recall the tone used for Joey in Games. But in the regular series there was a scene where he was checking his messages and there were a number of ladies looking to contact him. While a lot were through his work, it was pretty clear that some of the callers may have been looking for more than this.
Joey was attractive to them because he's almost the opposite of Roy - Hey Marv, get those relationship triangles out!- as a close friend, as someone to help their work, as friends with benefits perhaps.
Just typing that reminds me of the Joey/Kole scene. I think his reactions to Kole's advances make him a better man considering his relationships with other women. He's genuinely kind and caring, and may have felt that Kole needed time to become less emotionally vulnerable. It's realistic that Joey's feelings/wisdom there would come out of the various relationships (at varying) levels with those other women.
Yes, I agree that Joey's personality made him very attractive to women. I welcome that. I'm ok with him pursuing those friendships into something sexual, even. What I wouldn't want to see is any hints of Joey leading these women on, and I certainly don't want him to become a Roy-type who can't keep it in his pants. If the writers had very firmly clarified that, I would have been very happy with that scene.
Your mention of the Joey/Kole scene hits it right on the head. That's the Joey I want to see - a good friend to women, who knows what they need and would not take advantage of them.
Everyone remembers the sad fate of Pantha, Baby Wildebeest and Bushido in Infinite Crisis, but did you know that 3 different Titans were originally supposed to die in their place until Geoff Johns re-wrote his script?
Who were those 3 lucky Titans?
*gasp*! I wonder if the answers will make me sad or happy.
Hmm... I'm pretty sure Dick Grayson was one of them.
As for the other two...
Donna Troy?
Terra II?
Dan Didio was indeed pushing to have Dick Grayson killed off in IC, but that was in a totally different scene and not an outcome Geoff Johns ever agreed with or actually wrote.
One of your other guesses is correct however.
Terra II? (given that she died shortly after)
Hmm... I wouldn't be surprised if the others were relatively obscure...
Was Red Star supposed to die to complete the family?
How about Rose Wilson?
^ I should probably be more specific - there was talk of Nightwing dying at the conclusion of the series, and Dan Didio was pushing for it, but Geoff Johns and others talked him down and Superboy died in his place.
However, in the scene where Superboy Prime killed Pantha, Baby Wildebeest and Bushido, 3 other Titans had originally been proposed to die in their places. I'm looking for those 3 Titans.
One has been correctly guessed so far.
Terra II? (given that she died shortly after)
Hmm... I wouldn't be surprised if the others were relatively obscure...
Was Red Star supposed to die to complete the family?
How about Rose Wilson?
Whoops. This came in while I was writing the other message.
2 of the lucky Titans have been correctly guessed now.
Yeah, I figured from your comment on Nightwing and Didio that you were probably thinking of 3 Titans who should have died in that scene instead of the 3 who actually died.
Hmmm...
Terra II
Hero Cruz
Minion
Not sure if you noticed my last post but 2 correct characters have so far been guessed, though only one in your last post.
Oh yeah, I didn't. Oops! We keep posting simultaneously
Terra II
Rose Wilson
Mirage
One correct in that guess.
2 correct in that guess.
Although Risk was also originally supposed to die, it wasn't in the place of any of the 3 who eventually did. His planned death was just changed to a dis-arming.
Whew. Those poor abused Titans. Risk, Dick, and the three planned death (and Terra II ended up dying anyway...)
And poor Red Star survived, but lost his "family" too.
Um...
Terra II
Red Star
Damage
Terra II
Red Star
Flamebird
Which 3 Titans were originally slated to die in place of Pantha, Baby Wildebeest and Bushido in Infinite Crisis?
1. Terra II
2. Red Star
3.
NOT:
Nightwing
Troia
Ravager
Hero Cruz
Minion
Mirage
Risk
Damage
Flamebird
TK has it. Argent was the third character, along with Terra II and Red Star, originally slated for death in Infinite Crisis.
I would have been conflicted if that had come to pass as I have never liked Argent or Terra II, but love Red Star. Meanwhile, I always quite liked Pantha and Baby Wildebeest and thought Bushido had a lot of potential.
Oh well. It's all moot now in the DCFU.
Over to you, TK.
Argent? Wow, I always assumed she was the most popular of her Titans team. She was picked for the Titans series over Risk, joto, Prysm and Fringe after all.
^ Actually, Devin Grayson just revealed in a recent interview that she had never wanted Argent on the team but that the editor, Eddie Berganza, had forced her to include her.
Geoff Johns also revealed in the interview that I used as the basis for this question that Eddie Berganza had been the one who made him spare Argent and kill off someone else instead.
Obviously Eddie Berganza has been reaalllllyy trying to make Argent happen. Give it up Eddie! She's not that interesting!
Wow. Devin Grayson must have been pissed; Argent stayed almost until the dissolution of that team, but other characters like Wally, Starfire, Cyborg and Damage were written out long before that!
Argent made it into the JLA team that survived Darkseid's Rock of Ages takeover too.
toyed with making that a quick yes or no question round
Two guesses max and you win! Very efficient
I thought I'd spare people the misery I have on your threads
My threads? That makes me sad
You should see Novelty's questions - 20 choices and up. At least I stick to 12
You're right Ibby. It's all about perspective.
While he was putting together a list of possible names for the character that would eventually become Starfire, Marv Wolfman used a name that was picked up elsewhere. What could Starfire possibly have been called?
By "picked up elsewhere" I mean used somewhere else before he could use it himself.
Red Star? I think I read an interview once and I'm pretty sure it was Red Star.
(as an aside, I know we're just kidding around about the trauma of having many wrong guesses. But even wrong guesses help us learn more about each other
I really enjoy all these Spaceopoly threads
)
But even wrong guesses help us learn more about each other
the size of my therapy bill for example
[hazy memory]
Was Red Star (the Russian hero) not originally Starfire, but had to change it to Red Star in his return '80s appearance because there was now a new Starfire? Not to mention a '70s version too. [/hazy memory]
Not the character I'm thinking of...
Nova is closer. Wildfire was the name Roy Thomas wanted to use for Firebrand wasn't it, after the golden age character. That was vetoed because of the Legion's Wildfire.
Must have mixed up Red Star and Starfire.
How about Supernova?
But even wrong guesses help us learn more about each other
the size of my therapy bill for example
I suppose it would be inappropriate to invite you to play Russian roulette
Neither Supernova or Sunfire
Torch? (Nova was close, so...)
Nova was close as in where the character came from. A few since have been equally close in that respect. Oh, actually one even closer than that.
Not Pulsar but it's towards the right home for this character.
Nope, not towards the Captain Marvel side of things.
Male Adolescent Fantasy Lass?
Aren't most of them Blacula?
No for Firestar, but as with Sunfire, it's in that general area.
Hmmm... Thinking of Marvel Comics characters with fire-related powers...
Was there a Starlight?
No to Phoenix, but it's the closest yet.
... Polaris?
(not sure if you saw my earlier Starlight guess, thothkins)
no Ibby I missed that one. It's neither Starlight, Polaris and Starbolt. Although with Polaris, Ibby is in the right area and thinking along the right sort of lines.
Thanks, thothkins. Hmmm...
Was Dazzler around already?
The Disco aspect of it would suggest a "yes" unless marvel were really late to the party. But it's not Dazzler. Another really good guess though.
Hmm, this will be tough as I'm not really well-versed in X-Men history.
Havok?
Thunderbird?
I'm running out of ideas.
Neither Havok nor Thunderbird.
Hints are that it's not an obscure character. There is a link in the name I'm looking for and Starfire's abilities, so it's not something you need to take wild, random guesses at.
Checking a list of her powers... basically she flies and fires starbolts. But I've already guessed Starbolt. So no help there.
Yeah, I thought the name would be related to the powers. But I don't know that many X-Men characters, so if this character is a villain then I probably won't be able to guess.
Northstar?
Hint: The reason for Marv having to rule it out was that this character appeared around about the same time as the planning for the Titans.
No to Northstar though.
Hint: It's a more central character than that.
... Moonstar?
(this is tougher than Know Your Legion Worlders. At least all the choices are there! :p)
Is that the New Mutant? Not her.
Combining the hints would give... Which central X-Men related character was introduced around about the same time as the relaunch of the Teen Titans under Wolfman & Perez?
Kitty Pride?
Er... Ariel?
Yay! EDE gets it. The next hint was going to be "You may not know her under this name."
Ariel was a contender for Starfire's name before Marv realised it had been used elsewhere. Even though it had moved on (Sprite? then Shadowcat) he wanted to use something else.
Over to you EDE.
Well, I was planning to use this for the Non-Legion Comics Trivia thread, but it works well enough here as well.
So, the Teen Titan Terra is from Markovia.
What three countries border Markovia, per its early appearances?
Gee, I'm glad that the forum got an easy one after my toughie
1)Zandia
2)Vlatava
3) um ...Latveria
Zandia is an island, so no. Vlatava is also incorrect, as is Latveria (though Markovia and Latveria were apparently combined in the Amalgam universe).
Oh Balkans! - though a fluky bonus with Latveria
1) Yugoslavia
2) Bulgaria
3) Romania
None of those countries shares a border with Markovia.
Though if we were doing Latveria, you would've gotten two right!
I wonder how many of the correct answers are real-life countries, hmmm...
1) Modora
2) Bialya
3) Poland
Yay! EDE gets it. The next hint was going to be "You may not know her under this name."
Ariel was a contender for Starfire's name before Marv realised it had been used elsewhere. Even though it had moved on (Sprite? then Shadowcat) he wanted to use something else.
Over to you EDE.
I wonder why Ariel was a contender for Starfire's code name. The only Ariels I know are the Little Mermaid and the one from the Tempest; the latter of which kind of makes sense for Kitty Pryde, but doesn't really seem to fit Starfire's powerset.
0 correct.
DC has quite a few fictional countries, doesn't it?
Yes, I'm getting surprised by how many countries I can recall! Though most of the others seem to be in the Caribbean or in the Middle East...
1. Kasnia
2. Pokolistan
3. Russia
None of those. Incidentally, Bialya is also in the Middle East.
Yeah, I realized that after I'd guessed
Hmm, I can't think of many more fictional DC countries...
Two of these were on Earth-2, let's see if they were on Earth-1 as well.
1) Bulgravia
2) Toran
3) Galonia
Hmm, I can't think of any other fictional countries in the DCU. Could these have been shout outs to other fictional universes?
For now though I'll guess some real-world countries.
1) France
2) Italy
3) Germany
1) Germany
2) Czech Republic
3) Austria
1) Italy
2) Croatia
3) Hungary
1) France
2) Spain
3) Andorra
1 right.
Hmm...
1) France
2) Belgium
3) Switzerland
1) France
2) Belgium
3) Luxembourg
(Boy, Markovia sure is westerly for a country that was invaded by Russia after World War II!)
That's all 3!
Whew! I always assumed Markovia was in the actual Eastern Europe, where there seem to be a lot more "V"s
(since when have France, Belgium and Luxembourg been part of Eastern Europe anyway?) Thanks for helping me exercise my geographic knowledge EDE.
New question coming up soon!
(Boy, Markovia sure is westerly for a country that was invaded by Russia after World War II!)
Yeah, I think that's a later revelation, after the writers at DC apparently forgot where it was located! (That's why I specified "early appearances" in the question.
Whew! I always assumed Markovia was in the actual Eastern Europe, where there seem to be a lot more "V"s
(since when have France, Belgium and Luxembourg been part of Eastern Europe anyway?) Thanks for helping me exercise my geographic knowledge EDE.
Oddly, the narration does say it's in "Eastern Europe", though the map shows it clearly in Western Europe. Bizarre!
I found that perplexing as well! Maybe later writers had to decide which was true - the map or the narration.
(I wonder how my French friends would react at being told that their country is part of Eastern Europe...
That's quite a geography fail.
After Infinite Crisis, the Teen Titans jumped forward one year. The team was in a major state of upheaval during that year, with over a dozen members coming and going.
Name all the Titans who were part of the team during that One Year Gap. This includes returning members, members who joined for the first time, and of course old members who were active during that time.
For clarity, the One Year Gap starts immediately after Infinite Crisis.
As is usual, please limit your guesses to the number of unguessed slots.
And many characters share the same code name, so in those cases please specify which version you are guessing!

Good start. Let's see...
Changing Kid Frankenstein to Young Frankenstein, and Changeling to Beast Boy. Aquagirl is obviously Lorena, as Tula was dead.
No to Bart, who was dead; no to Cyborg, who was deactivated before the One Year Gap started. No to Starfire, who spent the whole year lost in space.
Not counting Wendy and Marvin, as they weren't full-fledged members.
For Hawk and Dove, you'll need to specify. There was more than one hero of each active at that time so it's not obvious like with Aquagirl

Good job adding to the list btw! All your guesses are right.
Terra II's an interesting case. She was not included in Raven's picture collage, but she was definitely a Titan - she fell in battle against Black Adam. That always annoyed me. Instead of resolving her identity issues, they just had her be killed by the supposed "hero" Black Adam. and that is why I detest Black Adam to this day. His tantrums are so infuriating!

Correct, it was Zatara! Over to you, Future!
Oh lord. I shouldn't be trusted with a trivia question with how scatter brained I am online anymore. Ha.
Name a Justice League member who went on to join the Teen Titans, rather than the usual other way around.
You got it! All yours, thothkins!
Question as soon as I can get to the Titans boxes. I have to say I find coming up with Titans questions much tougher. I didn't realise so little was going on in some of those Wolfman issues outside of the soap.
I hear ya thothkins. Titans questions are tough for me. I read most of the Silver Age and Wolfman run but very little actually sticks in my mind. I don't know why. Maybe it's cause I binge-read them?
Stop me if this is familiar...
A Gotham based villain breaks into the apartment of a female character who is important to the protagonist. The villain's following actions involve taking at least one picture of the female character in an attempt to show the lack of difference between protagonist and antagonist. To turn the hero into a villain. Who is the villain and who is the hero?
Hmmm! Doesn't ring a bell.
Hero - Nightwing/Dick Grayson
Villain - Ravager?
Random guessing
Hero - Donna Troy
Villain - Dark Angel
Dark Angel wasn't a gotham based villain, if that helps your random guessing. It wasn't Donna Troy either.
Oh yeah. Hmmm...
Villain - Clayface
Hero - Beast Boy/Changeling
Neither of those, but both answers are quite prominent characters, so you#ll get there shortly.
Hero - Cyborg
Villain (oh dear, I don't know quite as many villains as heroes) - Um, Mad Hatter?
Cyborg is the hero of the story.
The villain is a bit more high profile than the Hatter.
Shot in the dark, but... the Joker?
A good guess, for reasons I'll get to. But No.
Yay! It was Two Face.
Going back to my question: "A Gotham based villain breaks into the apartment of a female character who is important to the protagonist. The villain's following actions involve taking at least one picture of the female character in an attempt to show the lack of difference between protagonist and antagonist. To turn the hero into a villain."
This story in Teen Titans Spotlight was written by J. Michael Straczynski. It has essentially the same plot as the long-in-progress Killing Joke that would be released the following year by Alan Moore/ Brian Bolland.
Substitute Cyborg for Batman and Sarah Charles for Barbara Gordon. Fortunately Charles does not suffer the added horror that Gordon had to go through.
Thou are up, Ibby!
I have a vague memory of this happening now! I figured it had to be either Sarah Charles or Sarah Simms. Glad both Sarahs are still alive (because Games is out of continuity :p).
New q up soon!
When I first read Crisis on Infinite Earths, I was only familiar with the Legion and the Justice League (Satellite and International). There were a lot of cool moments for me, like seeing the origin of Dr. Light (Kimiyo) and learning that she used to be a *$*@!, seeing a more stable Power Girl, and learning how Wally graduated from Kid Flash to Flash.
One character that really impressed me was Kole. Here was a competent, mature and likable Titan with the most awesome powers! She turned Black Adam into crystal! She can make barriers or slides, and she can fly! Her death was one of those which hit me hardest.
Imagine my surprise when I later learned that she had only been appearing in the Titans books for less than a year. But there were actually two clues I picked up when reading COIE that made me realize she was a new Titan.
Name one of the two clues.
The other heroes didn't know her?
Nope. I only recall one scene like that, in one of the first issues Metamorpho goes, "You're Kole right? Think you can help?" I chalked that up to them being on different teams. I didn't know that the Titans and the Outsiders had worked together before.
I don't recall the clues. I do seem to remember that she was created specifically to die in crisis because they didn't want to disrupt the rest of the team or something like that.
Yup, he replied to a WiR thing and said that basically it was to pacify other creators that wanted one of his characters to die in crisis since he was killing some of theirs. He said it was a mistake on his part.
Yeah, I read too that Kole was created to die. He wanted to offer one of his own creations - it couldn't just be a Titans character, but it had to be a Wolfman creation.
I'm glad he realized it was a mistake! Though honestly, the only others he could have killed were Starfire and Cyborg (which he couldn't!) and stupid whiny Azrael. And if it had been Azrael, people wouldn't have cared as much.
There were two clues I picked up when reading Crisis on Infinite Earths that made me realize Kole was a new member of the Teen Titans, instead of an established member of the team.
Name one of the two clues.
It wasn't because the other heroes didn't know her.
One clue was something she said.
Another clue was something physical.
Didn't she explain what her powers were? I don't remember too many other characters stopping to tell the readers what they could do.
She did explain her powers, but only to Metamorpho when he asked. The clues I mentioned were in two other, separate instances.
Was her portrait missing when all the heroes met at the Titans Tower in #11?
and
Did she say to the gathered assembly "Hi everyone. I'm a new Titan."?
Her portait was indeed missing! That was my first clue.
The second was actually in the issue where the heroes storm Earths 4, X and S to stop the villain invasion. After Changeling takes out the Riddler and Trickster, Tempest (Doom Patrol) goes: "The Changeling did his job, Kole." Kole replies with, "From what I gather Tempest, he usually does."
This line made me realize that Kole must have joined quite some time after Gar did.
Over to you, Blacula!
(say, she never did get a portrait in Titans Tower huh? Just as statue?
)
Didn't she? I seem to remember a scene where they were putting her portrait up. Or am I confusing her with Terra?
Hmmm question... question... I've got two great questions for the Non-Legion Comics Trivia Thread but I can never get a question right in there to ask either of them. Haha
OK - after a quick Google search -
When Bruce Timm and co. made their initial pitch for what would eventually become the Justice League cartoon, they originally included 3 young teen heroes on the team who would be learning the ropes alongside the more experienced older heroes.
2 of those characters were Titans and one 1 had connections to a member of the team. Please name all 3.
The first person to get all 3 gets the next question.
1. Cyborg
2. Changeling
3. Don't know.
By connections to a member of the team, I guess connections to a member of the Titans? Or to the League? Random guessing time!
1. Cyborg
2. Starfire
3. Robin
Didn't she? I seem to remember a scene where they were putting her portrait up. Or am I confusing her with Terra?
Possible. I'm positive that she didn't have a portrait in COIE 11, I check every time I reread COIE. I don't know if she had one in the Titans book.
Robin is one of the three.
The third character is actually a villain in DCU continuity.
By connections to a member of the team, I guess connections to a member of the Titans? Or to the League?
The character is sort of connected to a Titan.
Robin is still the only correct guess so far.
I'm trying to figure out who would have a connection to a member but not be a member of the Titans.
1. Robin
2. Batgirl
3. Wonder Girl
^ That third character with a connection to a Titan is a villain in the DCU, PB (though they were a hero in the cartoon, I assume).
Which three teen characters were originally supposed to be members of the Justice League in the eponymous cartoon?
1. Robin
2.

NOT:
Cyborg
Changeling
Starfire
Speedy
Catwoman

Wonder Girl
Robin
Kid Flash/Impulse
Cheetah?
okee dokee.
1. Robin
2. Harley Quinn
3. Superboy
Which three teen characters were originally supposed to be members of the Justice League in the eponymous cartoon?
1. Robin
2. Impulse
3.
OK, this third character is quite a bit harder to get so I'll drop some clues -
1. This character is a villain in the DCU (but was going to be a hero in the cartoon).
2. This character was actually invented for the cartoon, but then never appeared in it, and only afterward made their first appearance in the DCU. Weird!
3. Though this character is clearly connected to a member of the Titans, their first DCU appearance was as a villain in a Justice League member's solo comic.
NOT:
Cyborg
Changeling
Starfire
Speedy
Catwoman
Batgirl
Wonder Girl
Cheetah
Harley Quinn
Superboy
I'm seriously blanking.
1) Robin
2) Kid Flash
3) Match
Sort of a good guess, but incorrect.
1) Robin
2) Kid Flash
3) Inertia
Not Inertia, but you're still sort of on the right track.
P.S. It was specifically Impulse in the cartoon, not Kid Flash.

I've never actually read a comic that she's been in but now that I've discovered her weird history, I'm sort of intrigued by her.
Over to you IB.
Wow! That was a lucky guess. I read exactly one issue in which she appeared. But I guessed that, if DC were to create a brand new character for a TV show, it would be someone not too dissimilar from a big name hero... But it was still a very lucky guess.
New Q up soon!
She's apparently only made
16 appearances total.
Titans trivia questions are always hard for me. Hmmm...
When the Team Titans were stranded in the present 20th century, the group split into two sides. One group blamed Donna Troy for their predicament and tried to kill her and a Titan, Prestor Jon, who came to her defense; the other group tried to defend Donna and Prestor Jon.
One Team Titan used his/her powers to stop the fighting by freezing everyone in their tracks. What was the name of this Titan?
um...Terra II encasing them in little earth mounds?
Nope.
This character has a two-word code name.
Other clues:
1st word: an animal species
2nd word: an odd occurrence
More clues:
First word starts with H.
Second word starts with M.
I don't think anyone's going to get it, so...
It was someone called
The Human Mystery.
He/she appeared to be extremely powerful, and I kind of wished we'd seen more of him/her. But Zero Hour erased him/her, sadly.
Here's an easy Q to get things going again -
What is Kole's surname?
Sorry Ibby. I meant to post to say I hadn't a clue on that one. Looking at the answer, I was right. I've no idea who that is.
Is Kole's surname Weathers?
No worries, thothkins! The lack of any guesses made me realize that
And Kole's surname is indeed Weathers! Over to you.
I didn't want anyone to mistake the lag from your question with mine. Where mine is entirely due to not being bothered to dig out titans comics on a summer evening.
It doesn't get any easier to find a Titans question...
With the others all off for the weekend, Raven is the only Titan in town. Which Titans villain does she have to face?
Yay! It was Phobia, where we get to learn all about her and how she overcomes her villainy to become a far less interesting character as a result.
I'm definitely digging up the original titans run from my folks' loft. Not to make the questions more obscure. Just that I think I'll find some questions in there.
Did she change her eyebrows after she went good?
Oh completely. Even still in the Phobia costume, they were nowhere near as arched and evil looking. It's all in the eyebrows, isn't it?
Luthor isn't naturally bald. He shaves his head so there's more focus on his eyebrows of evil.
Luthor also shaves his head to justify his origin story. "If my hair grows I won't have reason to hate Superman and my jealousy of him will be exposed!"
The Phobia story is memorable for me. Here we have a character who delights in causing fear, and now she has to confront her own demons.
New Q soon!
What was Lian Harper's nickname for Beast Boy?
She may have had more than one, but there is one specific answer I am looking for.
Any guesses Peebz?
I'm just glad u thought of a non-Kole related Q for once.
I looked it up, I cheated .... but this is a good question.
Something else else with "monkey" in it?
Vague recollections of Roy telling Lian that she was his little monkey...
Nope. Didn't reference animals. It does refer to his color.
Nope, but you're on the right track!
Big hint:
The nickname follows the same format as "mould face":
(something green) (part of body)
salad head - although that's what Cyborg used to call him.
And that's what Lian also called him in Titans Secret Files 1, when the team reformed after the Technis Imperative!
Over to you thothkins (another trivia game for you to conquer
)
I've noticed that being the only contestant and having a lot of time are helping quite a bit with my success
Speaking of time..it's time to dig through those back issues, so that you guys have a question...
And while you're at it you can multi-task for Non-Legion trivia too
If you hit the George and Marv era, I might be ablet o play a little, been a long time since I've really read them. I kept waiting for the newer books to get good but they never did.
And while you're at it you can multi-task for Non-Legion trivia too
and breathe at the same time? You're asking a lot...oh me breathing was optional was it.. fine...
Better than wading through the titans box is the issues of ICG's Titans Index. No idea when I got these. It certainly wasn;t with the Legion, or before that, the JLA ones... but a trove of Titans stuff in them.
Oh, and questions. Questions like...
Who was the first Titans Reject?
I remember that one, Beast Boy, Gar Logan. He was too little or something.
I kinda remember that. I think his evil guardian also wouldn't let him join?
On the off-chance that's not the right answer.. How about Bat-Girl?
Yay, It was Gar with a cover of him being mind controlled and attacking the Titans at a Circus.
His guardian wouldn't let him join because of his age. It may have said that's a reason he flunked out of the Doom Patrol too, but my inner sloth won't allow me to reach over to check.
All yours Rickshaw!
Hm. Okay.
What was the main "physical" clue that sent Dick and Donna off to discover her origins before her wedding to Terry Long? Remember, physical clue.
A picture of her and her parents?
just a slightly charred picture of her?
Was it someone's age? Like someone being either too old or too young to fit the timeline of Donna's history?
Thoth got it. The doll was the major physical clue I was going for.
memory cell tells me they found the doll in the burnt out building where Wonder Woman had found Donna. They tried to trace it to the person that made it, that might have led to an orphanage...memory cell fades...gets out comic...gosh this is convoluted.
Donna's natural mother, Dorothy Hinckley, had a terminal illness. She puts Donna up for adoption. The orphanage gives Donna to Carl & Fay Evans. They had Donna for two years but were forced to give Donna up for adoption when Carl Evans died. Donna was then the victim of a child kidnapping ring, run through the orphanage. That's what brought her to the apartment where the blaze was. The couple that took her didn't adopt her and Wonder Woman rescued her from the blaze. Wonder Woman made Donna her legal ward..like Bats and Robin. Donna got her powers from the Amazon's purple ray.
Who is Donna Troy? was one of the many wolfman/perez high points in that run, even if it was a load of retconning. I also really liked the post crisis Who is Wonder Girl? where they removed all the Wonder Woman aspects replacing them with the Titans of Myth.
Knowing the original Wonder Girl was simply a younger version of Wonder Girl, I probably prefer that version. But it's a good story, even if Grayson is led by the nose by Donna to her adoptive family.
Of her original origin, Wonder Woman at a younger age... if she was to work alongside her older self, that would be time travelling involved....and that opens up some interesting Legion possibilities...
New question...Now! . Thank you ICG!
What three gimmicks did the impostor Flips use when going up against the Titans?
1) Turn their powers against them
2) Impersonate them one by one
3) Make them fight against each other
no to all of those. A hint would be that all three were physical objects.
1) Mirrors
2) Flying boots
3) Yo-Yos
Flying Boots and yo yos are along the right sort of lines, in that the answers are things that US teens would be into.
1) MP3s
2) Jetpacks
3) Social media
By the way, sorry for the nag, but you might not have noticed that you're also up on Legion Trivia. Wow! You have the open questions on Legion Trivia, Titans Trivia, Non-Legion Trivia AND Thinking of a Legion character! don't forget to breathe
>thump< Collect 'em all kids!
This was in the '60s so only jet packs would have been suitable
As everyone in the '50s thought they were on their way >sigh<
One of the items was customised for flight though...
Hmm... Now let's see, what had been invented during the 60s?
1) A hang-glider
2) Radio
3) Afro hair (?)
A hang-glider is the closest of those, but the flying one isn't something that normally would fly. But stick with things things teens think to be cool.
1) "magical" shades
2) Car/Hot Rod (that can fly??)
3) Robot
I like the shades idea. An idea ahead of it's time, if you were a Titans writer in the '60s.
really, really close with 2)
Somehow I think the things I find cool wouldn't be the same as other teens' ideas
But then I'm not a teen anymore, and I wasn't even alive in the '60s... Hm...
1) motorcycle (that can fly?)
2) Rollerskates/rollerblades (that can fly?)
3) "magical" bubble gum?
Yes for the motorcycle! It could do lots of high powered tricks, but it's not the flying thing I'm thinking of.
1. Motorbike
2.
3.
I now have a vague recollection of this Flip character.
1. Motorbike
2. Guitar
3. Jacket
Still a little vague, as there were three of them.
1. Motorbike
2.
3.
Drat. It may take me three times as many guesses.
That long list of wrong guesses is quite embarrassing!
1. Motorbike
2. Comic books
3. A hat
Not:
Jacket
Rollerskates
Bubble Gum
Guitar
Afro
Radio
Hang glider
Shades
Car
Robot
Jetpacks
MP3s

Mirrors
Flying boots
Yo-Yos
Neither of those two. the motorbike and roller skates were along the right sort of lines. I shall provide hints shortly.

2. Ice Skates
3. Skateboard

Jacket
Rollerskates
Bubble Gum
Guitar

For the second think Beach Boys. For the third think gymnastics.

2. Hula Hoop
Not:

Hang glider

Car
Robot
Jetpacks
MP3s

Yo-Yos
Comic books
Hat
Ice Skates
Skateboard
Perseverance is paying off. One of the Flips had a rocket powered surfboard that could fly.
Although there are just tons of ideas for one of them with a Hula-Hoop, they missed out there and went for something else. Something else else also seen in marching bands as well as gymnastics.
1. Motorbike
2. Surfboard
3.
1. Motorbike
2. Surfboard
3. Leotard?
Not a leotard. It's not an item of clothing.
1. Motorbike
2. Surfboard
3.
1. Motorbike
2. Surfboard

Yay! It's a baton!
And here's the cover!
![[Linked Image]](http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20080108140849/marvel_dc/images/d/d0/Showcase_59.jpg)
That's the cover I vaguely remembered! I remember being extremely annoyed by this Flip dude as soon as I saw him.
New question up... soon!
Note the Ranzz Inc Lightning Bolt trunks on the surfer. That takes a little confidence.
As an aside, rocket powered surfboards would be picked up years later in Judge Dredd. There, sky surfing would become a huge sport, and increasingly dangerous as the years went on.
![[Linked Image]](http://homepage.eircom.net/~okku/chopper.jpg)
Judge Dredd at least doesn't annoy me with HIS flying board.
When the Titans reformed after the Technis Imperative, where Cyborg got all lonely and swallowed the moon, the original five recruited Argent, Cyborg, Damage, Jesse Quick and Starfire.
But several other former Titans appeared and either declined membership, or hoped in vain for an invitation (or in one case, didn't really whether he/she received an invite or not!).
Who were these six other Titans?
As usual, please limit guesses to the number of unguessed Titans.
1)
2)
3)
4)
5)
6)
Well, the Titans East got short shrift, so...
1) Flamebird. Waiting by the phone for a page.
2) Mal
3) Bumblebee
4) Joker's Daughter
5) Don't remember lilith or Gaark. Golden Eagle dead then? Logan didn't join in the end, so Changeling.
6) umm... Terra II ?
Nice, five correct off the bat (despite kinda semi guessing and then eliminating 3 extra characters in your #5
)!
1) Flamebird (yes, waiting by the phone poor thing)
2) Mal (also waiting by the phone)
3) Bumblebee (watching her husband with amusement)
4) Joker's Daughter (delusional as always)
5) Changeling
6)
Not:
Lilith
Gnaark
Golden Eagle
Terra II
I shouldn't think and type, but I was certain it wasn't any of those three.
I'm sure it was a titan from the end of Wolfman's run...
Mirage?
Yes, no worries just having some fun. Your post made it clear you'd ruled those three out.
Not Mirage.
1) Flamebird (yes, waiting by the phone poor thing)
2) Mal (also waiting by the phone)
3) Bumblebee (watching her husband with amusement)
4) Joker's Daughter (delusional as always)
5) Changeling
6)
Not:
Lilith
Gnaark
Golden Eagle
Terra II
Mirage
Whoops, forgot the light hearted smiley thingy in my post
Like that one.
Since I can;t remember the name of the kid with the battlesuit - Jaros/ Jared ? I'll go with Supergirl.
Yes! It was Matrix Supergirl. Over to you thoth. good thing your memory failed you
The battlesuit kid is Jarras Minion (his real name believe it or not), codename Minion.
Minion! How could I forget? Oh yes, it's because it was utterly forgettable.
Way back when the Titans visited swinging London, what had the Mad Mod stolen that the groovy heroes have to retrieve?
A certain famous gemstone?
Is your famous gemstone part of anything?
No wait...I don't ask questions...darn...
The ring that traditionally signaled the regency?
Yay! It was the sceptre!
O'er to Ibbster!
I Wonder what the next Titans question will be? I'm sure it'll be here in a Flash, unless I'm Raven mad.
The next one will be pretty easy, I think. (It sure is tough thinking of Titans questions...)
Who helped Solstice beat up Sun Girl?
Nope.
Each of the active Titans at the time was taking on a different villain.
I may have misread that. Does that mean that one of the villains helped Solstice?
Rose Wilson?
No, I meant that the active Titans members were fighting different people.
Not Rose Wilson.
I get the feeling I'm missing your hint. Other non-active Titans?
Bombshell?
Correct on the hint interpretation, wrong on the character.
Not:
Changeling
Raven
Starfire
Rose Wilson
Bombshell
At least I;m getting closer, which is good since I don't think I've read this.
Kid Flash, as I think this was post resurrection.
That would be Bart Allen, in case of ambiguity.
Thanks for the clarification! It was not Bart Allen though.
Not:
Changeling
Raven
Starfire
Rose Wilson
Bombshell
Bart Allen
Bah! I was wondering if Wally West was still around, considering his Titans links.
Oh! Aquagirl! Water v Fire!
Nice choice, but no, not Aquagirl.
A lot of the characters you mentioned were in that issue, but they were fighting other people.
Oh heck. Was this one of those "let's get every titan ever" issues?
Wonder Girl - Cassie thingimy?
Something else else like that
Who helped Solstice beat up Sun Girl?
Not:
Changeling
Raven
Starfire
Rose Wilson
Bombshell
Bart Allen
Aquagirl (Lorena)
Wonder Girl (Cassie)
Solstice was a member of the team for a very short time, so at least we can eliminate Titans who were dead then
I can't remember who was dead and who had already been resurrected. Jericho, Raven, Kid Flash, Superboy, Terra...
I've not tried Superboy yet. Superboy.
Nope.
Who helped Solstice beat up Sun Girl?
Not:
Changeling
Raven
Starfire
Rose Wilson
Bombshell
Bart Allen
Aquagirl (Lorena)
Wonder Girl (Cassie)
Superboy
Nope.
Hint: it's one of the newer Titans
Kid Devil - immune to fire?
Good guess, but no. Kid Devil was unavailable at that time.
Who helped Solstice beat up Sun Girl?
Not:
Changeling
Raven
Starfire
Rose Wilson
Bombshell
Bart Allen
Aquagirl (Lorena)
Wonder Girl (Cassie)
Superboy
Argent
Kid Devil
Blue Beetle's armour resistant to the fire?
Not Blue Beetle.
Who helped Solstice beat up Sun Girl?
Not:
Changeling
Raven
Starfire
Rose Wilson
Bombshell
Bart Allen
Aquagirl (Lorena)
Wonder Girl (Cassie)
Superboy
Argent
Kid Devil
Blue Beetle (Jaime)
Miss Martian. The last one who should be going near Sun Girl?
YES! That is indeed correct!
Maybe the writers wanted to be all like, "oh, that horrible future where Miss Martian is Sun Girl's slave? So not true anymore. Here, watch Miss M beat up that horrible mean girl."
Over to you thoth!
that was a guess out of desperation. I've not read the Miss Martian as Sun Girl's slave story. Perhaps it would have been an earlier guess if I had.
New question soon...
Willie Gregson asked the Teen Titans for help. Gregson was working for famed scientist Dr Finley. What was the great Finley working on?
Nope. It's something that currently exists.
Nope. It's not something that you see in orbit.
Not a missile, although I imagine it could very well be delivered in one.
Nope. It could be delivered in a missile, not the deliverer of the missile.
Ah, thanks for the clarification.
A bomb?
It could be in a bomb, like it could be in a missile.
Pretty much. It was nerve gas.
The famed, feted scientist who the kid of the story is lucky to spend the summer with and who the Titans are looking to save and protect...is actually a manufacturer of a deadly weapon that could kill huge numbers of people in very horrible ways. Who are the villains again?
Willie Gregson: And this is the brilliant scientist Dr Finley!
Speedy: Arrow to the head Robin?
Robin: Arrow to the head.
>twang<
Willie Gregson: Gah! What have you done? We can't kill millions now!
>twang<
Speedy: We've 20 pages to fill, you know.
Robin: Well 5 of those will be discrimination against Aqualad...
O'er to you Ibby!
And the other 15 pages can be cheesecake shots of Starfire.
Thanks thothy, new Q up soooon! Very soon. For real.
Oh yeah, thread is over 2000 so it gets locked away. New THREAD up... right now!
