Legion World Forums LEGION COMPANION Spaceopoly Teen Titans Trivia

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?

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.

Who is/was Haze?
