Legion World Forums LEGION COMPANION Dr. Gym'll's Cultural Rarities Oh Yeah, That Forum: The Titans TITANS EAST! leading by.....

Cyborg! the members will consist of: POWER BOY!! VULCAN! HAWK AND DOVE! LAGOON BOY! and one unidentified young girl (I think it's SECRET but not sure)... it was revealed at SDCC. whoo whoo...can't wait to see POWER BOY VS Supergirl when the Titans meet.

Oh, God! I hope that part of that is not true. Lagoon Boy? You have got to be f'in kidding me!! Secret? What are they trying to do...thankfully the YJ crap is far behind us and we do NOT need to go back to that embarassing time. BTW, who is Vulcan? Power Boy... Hooray!!! Hawk and Dove..Great!!! Cyorg is a natural leader for them but if this book is going to be succesful they need to rethink the line-up and get rid of stupid ideas and characters like Goon Boy and Secret...Yeesh, get real!!

Vulcan is the kid in the Son of Vulcan mini from about a year and a half ago. In it he is chosen to be the prior Vulcan's successor but that Vulcan perishes before he can begin the kids training and education on how everything in Vulcan's arsenal works. Vulcan was some sort of galactic defender (though I don't recall the details since I only managed to get one issue of the mini) I found this kid to be quite likeable so I'm looking forward to seeing more of him.

Looks like Cyborg is reprising his role as mentor to a new batch of young heroes with tremndous power but little experience. Lagoon Boy in particular should be fun. (I've always liked this kid unlike the other posters above me. ) I'm sure he'll play the comedian of the group a la Gar in his early days on the TT.

Not sure how Power Boy fits into this since he was shown to be a super powerful stalker in Supergirl. He seemed likeable enough (and great looking) but turned into a domineering, abusive a**hole.

There is some promo art (possibly the issue's cover) posted at CBR. It's the bottom left image. Perhaps "someone" can post a version here before I get a moment to do so. If not, I'll get one posted a little later

BTW, there is no indication who the mystery girl is. I guess it could be Secret but I don't get the feeling that it is. Might just be someone new. I would have thought the new Terra (introduced in Supergirl about 6 months ago) would have made sense for this group but that doesn't look at all like here.

Got a chance to upload the image sooner than I thought I would so here it is...

Yay Lagoon Boy! He was so cute in YJ (which I loved ) and neat in that old Aquaman series. Him and Cyborg are really the only people I'm interested in here (unless that girl is Greta, which would be rather shocking as she was given the gift of "life" at the end of YJ and therefore shouldn't have powers anymore) but I'm curious to see what'll happen with them all. I really grew to love Vic when he was part of the Flash supporting cast (years ago), so yay! I like him leading. I like him in general, really.

Very curious. Will definitely be checking this out. I just hope Hawk and Dove become more dynamic. They have so much potential but.. they've been poorly used, IMHO, and underdeveloped. I mean, wasn't Dove dead for a while..? Where did her sister come from, anyway? Etc. etc.

Well, I'll check it out, although this was not the Titans team I was hoping for...

I'll definately check this out, though Judd Winick writing it is more of a *groan* than a plus.

I like the line-up generally, with the exception of Power Boy. The character seems annoying and redundant--I vote him for the next Titan to die in 2008 .

It wouldn't make sense for it to be Secret. In fact, really only Empress is the last YJ character that would make sense using, but even that is a stretch (she has two babies to take care of). Basically, PAD made it very difficult to use his YJ girls, and I'm glad he did.

The character really looks like Supergirl. Hopefully, there's no relation!

Yay to Son of Vulcan!

Could it possibly be a new look for Magenta...?

Possibly...Or it could be Duela in an original outfit for a change!

I'm digging it. I haven't been that interested in the Titans in a while so I am looking foward to it.

Hooray! That could be secret...She looks somewhat like her, only less gassy (heh...Gassy), which would make sense what with the re-lifing and all. Technically she wouldnt NEED powers to be a Titan...Unless she was one of the Everyman candidates that mysteriously retained her powers. Though if they name her "Mystery" heads will roll.
I want the Wiley and Sasha H&D back *pouts*
Also, Power Boy needs a cape.

Someone on the Comic Bloc boards is claiming to have inside knowledge that the blonde girl is Anima. I don't remember a thing about her.

Being that she was the Titans' contribution to the Bloodlines Annuals...I'd say she has about a 1 in a million chance of making it out of "Final Crisis" alive (if it is her).

I have all of her appearances and actually kind of liked her when they finally gave her a decent artist and a consistent looking armor.

New Titans Annual #9

Anima\'s series

Nice to see Anima back. I also am a fan of hers. Now I like the cute long haired blond as much as the next guy BUT I was hoping this girl would keep her rebel/punk look. Wonder Girl/Supergirl/Miss Martian all have the hot look down.

<-------------- Anima fan.

Have all her appearances too, Nighty!

Titans East will be an ongoing and will have as it's membership the following:

<span class="spoiler_containter"><span class="spoiler_wording">Click Here For A Spoiler</span><span class="spoiler_text">Nightwing, Starfire, Cyborg, Raven and Beast Boy.</span></span>

Info revealed at the Retailer's Meeting following the Baltimore Convention as reported on newsarama.

Well, that looks good, but they'd better add

<span class="spoiler_containter"><span class="spoiler_wording">Click Here For A Spoiler</span><span class="spoiler_text">Donna Troy and maybe Jericho</span></span>

at some point soon...

I thought Gar was sticking with DP? Dual membership or something?

Okay, so Newsarama has updated the lineup:

<span class="spoiler_containter"><span class="spoiler_wording">Click Here For A Spoiler</span><span class="spoiler_text">Nightwing, Donna Troy, Starfire, Cyborg, Raven and Beast Boy.</span></span>

Oh, and whenever I see Anima's name, I find myself singing it in my head to the chorus of Van Halen's "Panama"...

The 'new' line-up looks pretty familiar to fans of the Perez/Wolfman launch.

Pity they bumped off Terra again, it would have created some interesting tension to see her back with the gang.

Not that I object to that line up but

Why in the world do you produce a Titans East one shot with Cyborg leading a new team of youngsters and then start a Titans East series with only Cyborg carrying over?

Makes no sense whatsoever!

(The above comment should be DC's motto these days )

I think the Titans East are probably going to be training those younger guys.

I'm excited about the lineup they revealed.

Because you're planning on killing all the youngsters in the special to add pathos to the series...
