Robin became obsessed with discovering Slade's secret plan; He even assumed the identity of Red X in an attempt
to learn more about his arch-foe. He eventually learned that Slade wanted him as his apprentice - and Slade blackmailed the
young hero by threatening the lives of his friends. The Titans soon learned the truth, and Robin was freed from Slade's thrall.
Cyborg,
Cyborg is a hulking mass of man, metal and intricate circuitry. A devastating accident forced him to be rebuilt
as a human/robot hybrid. But he does not dwell on that at all - he's more concerned with what's in front of him. He has a
few tricks up his sleeve - literally - including a powerful sonic cannon, a vice-like mechanical grip and enhanced sight.
While he's a powerful presence in showdowns with villains, Cyborg takes a lower profile back at Titans Tower. He loves hanging
out with the other Titans, but he clearly spends a lot of time in the gym, too.
Cyborg has a competitive relationship with his fellow Titan, Robin - which sometimes leads to clashes in leadership.
Cyborg's mettle [or is it metal?] was put to the test when he encountered Brother Blood, the evil leader of the Hive Academy.
Cyborg was able to resist Brother Blood's mind-controlling abilities, which intrigued Blood to learn more. Blood used Cyborg's
blueprints and enlisted Professor Chang to give him cybernetic implants to enhance his already formidable mind-controlling
abilities.
Meanwhile, Cyborg had joined Titans East as their leader in an effort to strike it out on his own. Now using
Cyborg's new Titans East teammates against him, Blood had the upper hand. But one thing Brother Blood didn't count on was
Cyborg's human spirit - his drive and determination - which is what defeated Blood in the end. At that moment, Cyborg realized
he didn’t need his own team or arch-foe to become a man... He had already become one.
BB,
What he lacks in stature, he more than makes up for in attitude. Beast Boy is the changeling of the group,
able to assume the shape of any animal – from a wolf to a pterodactyl. The green-skinned dynamo also has the corniest
sense of humor and is the most eager to please and entertain the group. He's never in a bad mood and is enthusiastic about
every new adventure. He'll try anything new and is not afraid to fail. In short, he's like the ultimate little brother –
except that he can change into an alligator.
Beast Boy fell head over paws for Terra, who the Titans welcomed into their ranks. He was later heartbroken
when he learned Terra was a spy sent by Slade to destroy the Titans from within. Never losing faith in Terra, Beast Boy did
finally see her realize the error of her ways - before sacrificing herself to save the city.
Raven,
By far the most mysterious member of the group, Raven has a dry wit and world-weary demeanor. She always has
a droll remark at the ready and is a perfect antidote to Beast Boy's silly antics. When the Teen Titans are on the attack,
Raven summons her powerful mental abilities to control inanimate objects - tying up villains with steel beams or hurling cars
with ease. While she comes across as a cooler-than-thou outsider, she works well with the rest of the group and would be lost
without her fellow Titans.
Raven was very private when she first joined the team - not even allowing her close friends to enter her room.
She has learned to open up a bit - whether it's shopping with Starfire of secretly enjoying Beast Boy's humor - such
as it is.
Star,
Starfire is the outsider among a group of outsiders. From a far-away planet, she has come to Earth with little
knowledge of Earthly ways and culture. For her, everything is a brand-new experience: from eating cotton candy to going to
a party. She is the most sensitive member of the group - even trying to understand the motivations of the aliens and villains
the Teen Titans must foil. Starfire can fly and disable her opponents with powerful energy blasts.
Since arriving on earth, Star has gone through some changes. She learned to stand up against her bully of
a big sister, Blackfire. And when she underwent the Tamaranean ritual of transformation, she gained the ability to shoot lasers
through her eyes. Star has deep affection for all her teammates - but Robin holds a special place in her heart.
