Jericho (Teen Titans)

Joseph William Wilson, also known as Jericho, is a character from the Teen Titans series.
== Charactah Account ==
A mute superhero who lives in the mountains of Tibet. Almost nothing is truly revealed about Jericho's personality, but we can conclude that he is an innocent, caring, and kind-hearted pacifist who doesn't particularly enjoy fighting and violence. However, when a crisis is at hand, Jericho will fight with surprising skill.
Jericho has the unique ability to possess any living being he can make eye contact with. Immediately after eye contact is made, he transforms into a see-through matter that can phase through things, in which Jericho phases into the body of the person he is possessing, giving him complete control. It is easy to tell when he takes control of someone as their eyes will turn the same color as his own.

== Trivia ==
* Jericho aka Joseph Wilson was first introduced in 1984 in the mainstream comic series The New Teen Titans in the classic adventure The Judas Contract. He was the son of Slade, the Titans's enemy, but helped them thwart his father's attempt to destroy them. He continued as their ally and later an official member of the team.
* A relationship to Slade in the animated series is never mentioned or explored.
* In the mainstream comic series, Joseph Wilson was a talented musician and singer while at primary-school age. While still a little boy, he was kidnapped by terrorists and his father accidentally destroyed his vocal chords while trying to rescue him. Angered by the injuries done to her son, Joseph's mother shot Slade, her husband, causing him to lose his right eye.
* In the comics, Jericho is possessed by the essence of Trigon and turns against the Titans, forcing Slade to kill him. He then takes over Slade's body right as he is killed and later comes back to fight the Titans. He claims that the Titans are too dangerous for children, since he himself died as a Titan, and cripples Kid Flash as a message to the Titans.
* In the comics, Jericho fell in love with fellow Teen Titan member Kole. After coming back from a mission in outer space with some of the other members, he found out about Kole's death during the first Crisis, which affected him greatly. He also had a short relationship with Raven.
* Jericho's love of music is also shown in the comics, as he spent a lot of his free time playing the guitar, including performing at some places.
* Jericho was brought back to life in the current version of the Teen Titans DC mainstream comics with a new body but, for some reason, he still uses sign language to communicate.
* In the Teen Titans Go! comic "Pieces of Me", Jericho uses his powers to put Raven's scattered Emoticlonesback together. The fusion process he applies could be an extent of his regular power or, more likely, the Emoticlones' minds work differently from their usual hosts. He does something fairly similar to this in the Terror of Trigon arc in the New Teen Titans (vol. 2) comics. In the same Teen Titans Go! comic, Jericho and Raven are seen coming from the movies with Robin and Starfire; the 4 of them appeared to be on a double date.
* Jericho and Kyd Wykkyd are the only characters in Teen Titans to be mute (except when he is controlling people's mind and body).
