Legion World Forums LEGION COMPANION Spaceopoly Teen Titans Trivia

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?

Aqualad?

Jericho?

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:

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.

Cyborg's dad.

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)

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.
