Legion World Forums LEGION OUTPOST Bits o' Legionnaire Business The Cast of GROOVY 70s TEEN TITANS: The Series!

Okay, aside from being a caveboy with a thing for bland go-go dancers, what's up with Gnarkk?

And Golden Eagle is our gay orphan surfer dude.

And Flamebird's some ultra-competitive type or something, right?

What about Aqualad?

Yes for Charley, yes for Bette but add in the MAJOR Robin obsession.

Gnarrk was basically a mechanic by this point who wanted out of the Titan-game.

Aqualad might have been named Aquawuss at this point. He spent half the series hospitalized.

Hmm... I think we're a little short on girls. Care of I bring in Supergirl as part of the cast? Or is she too powerful?

She might be a bit above villains like Kung Fu Fighter and the YMCA.

Donna, Bette, Duela, Lilith and Karen aren't doing it for you?

And we certainly don't have to use all those guys... in particular, Hawk, Dove and Gnarrk have reasons to leave right away (Hawk is in the Navy, irrc, while Gnarrk has his auto shop).

Current balance is 10-5. Those three leaving would make it 7-5. Add in Aquagirl and you've got a very reasonable 7-6.

Oh, I *really* like the idea of bringing in Aquagirl. Tula was the 1 former Titan castmember left out of TT 50-52.

I foresee a breakup between Lilith and Gnarrk, that's good with me.

I have an idea for how we could roll with GTT # 1, it'll be a setup issue but have a little action too, and establish just who is and isn't a Titan now.

I already have the Golden Eagle scene and Harlequin/Flamebird/Robin scene mapped out in my mind...

Okay, PM me with plot details.

Just did! I'm getting an idea for Speedy and Mal, too... (they are in GREAT FROG together).

What instruments do they play?

Mal's on HORNS of course!

I'm not remembering Speedy's instrument... WILL dig out those issues tomorrow!

iirc, GREAT FROG was some kind of jazz band. We'll be changing that, won't we, to some big-ass obnoxious KC & THE SUNSHINE BAND-type combo...?

Oh, and Mal's a bit of a square, which can sometimes drive Karen nuts.

Let's make GREAT FROG kind of funk/fusion band. That preserves the jazz heritage, but makes them groovier.

I like!

Can't wait to see what you guys do with this. Some info for your gristmill.

Donna was the den mother because of her need to find a family for herself. She had nothing of the sort. Her past was a complete blank and so she made the Titans her family.

She saw Dick as her brother and since Wally was Dick's best friend, he was sort of forbidden territory. Garth had always had Tula so Roy was really the only one she COULD hook up with from this group. Besides, Roy's bad boy attitude was a front for his insecurities and she wanted to help "fix" that.

IMO, Hawk and Dove never really belonged in the Titans, they were more occasional allies than members.

If you want to add someone really funky, bring back the Creeper and make him a member. He had various contacts with the TT during this period. To balance it out bring in Batgirl as well, I always felt she should have been there anyway and then you can start up the Babs/Dick romance right away with jealous interference from both Bette & Duela!

Duela & Creeper would make an awesome couple!

And who does Charley get? I vote for Wally (just why did you think he was always so close to "Dick"? )

Really looking forward to reading this! Roy played drums by the way. And Mal the trumpet. And am I mad to think that Dick has been shown playing the guitar before too?

Thanks for the input, Vee & Blacula! I'm looking forward to this, I hope Eryk is too! Gonna be lots of fun and zaniness, but some serious stuff, too...

Eryk, I'm digging out TT 44-53 right NOW!

GOT 'em.. Gabriel's Horn is located in Long Island...

Yep, there's Roy on drums... makes sense; drummers are hot...

Whoa! There's Roy putting the mack on Duela, right in front of Donna! Guess he was a little coked up...

Dave Elyea has horrid fashion design sense (he's responsible for that awful Hornblower outfit)...

"Hold it buster! If you want a woman's bag, try mine! Oh-- pardon my glove!"

"Yeah! I met the JUSTICE LEAGUE once-- and HAWKMAN gave me this set of wings!" (I knew I didn't hallucinate that)

Gnarrk's a bit of a hithead, attacking both Beast Boy and Hawk over Lilith... and she is NOT pleased...

Aqualad is all "I'm Useless and Stuff"...

Yep, Karen's got a smart mouth on her...

The team disbands at the end of # 53... Duela & Robin depart together on his motorcycle...

My memory of Mal's outfits during this period is a little hazy. I remember his orange jumpsuit of course (my personal fave) and his Guardian get-up and George Perez's re-design of his outfit as the Herald (why does no one call him by that name anymore?).

But I don't remember his Hornblower threads. ... UNLESS that was the fan-designed outfit that he wore for about 3 panels in that issue where I think some roller-skating baddies invaded their disco or something. That was a monstrosity that will forever be burned in my eyes! Possibly the worst costume ever worn by any hero anywhere!

Is that the one by Dave Elyea that you were talking about MLLASH? If not, you have got to find it and see it guys! The hideousness of that costume is a goldmine of acerbic story potential!

That's the one I'm talking 'bout! I thought Mal filled out the Gaurdian suit nicely...

So I picked up #45 and #47 today. DEFinitely groovy.

BITCHEN!!!

How'd you like Wrecker, Mouthpeice, The Greek, Big Al, Zasu & the Professor?

"These monkeys have CLAWS!"

JILLIKERS! I forgot about Duela getting ESP powers!

"You wouldn't murder your own daughter, Duela, would you-- DADDY?"
