## Background

### History

The Titans are a team of young superheroes who were the sidekicks of the older & more experienced heroes of the Justice League. Due to being too young to join the League, Robin decided that a team of young heroes should be made. Along with Aqualad, Kid Flash, Miss Martian & Batgirl, they were the founding members of Titans. Months after their founding, Speedy joined to finalize the original team & they became known as "Young Justice." Aqualad & Nightwing were given leadership of the team by Batman, with the two splitting the role evenly between them.

After the Titans reached their one year anniversary, they decided to continue expanding their rank. Taking cues from their mentors in the Justice League. they decided they would do formal inductions onto the team. But unlike the League, they would add six members every year, the same size of the original team. That October, the team grew to include half-man half computer Cyborg (Victor Stone), Wonder Woman's daughter Fury (Aresia Prince) & adopted sister Wonder Girl (Donna Troy), Green Arrow's sister Arrowette (Thea Queen) & his adopted son Red Arrow (Roy Harper) & Black Canary's sister White Canary (Sara Lance). The group went on to be known as the "Fam Bam" due to all the members (except Cyborg) being related to members of the Justice League.

After a few months passed & more restrictions were put on the team, Aqualad, Robin & Kid Flash decided to investigate a fire at Cadmus' headquarters to further prove their worth. After saving some scientists from the building, they venture deeper into the complex & discovered Cadmus had done advanced cloning & bio-engineering research. They eventually found Match A1, one of Cadmus's subjects & Superman's clone, & freed him. After solving some confusion with his programming, they were met by the League after damage was done to the building. The mentors chastised them for hacking into the League systems, disobeying direct orders & endangering lives. Led by Nightwing, they stood up against their mentors & demanded to be given more responsibility. The team then retreated back to their headquarters, where they gave Match the name Conner.

The next day, Batman came by Mount Justice & told them that Conner was welcome to join the team. He also revealed the League was launching a full investigation into Cadmus based on their findings & some investigation he did himself. Conner was the first to join the Gen-3 Titans but was soon followed by his adopted cousin Kara Kent (aka Supergirl). In addition to gaining two Kryptonian powerhouses, Gen-3 also included Aquaman's two proteges (Tempest & Aquagirl), Batman's adopted son Jason Todd (Robin II) & the daughter of Deathstroke, Rose Wilson (Ravager). Due to the fact that they mostly paired off for trainings & that there was one mentor for every two members, they became known as "Triple Double."

### Organization

As the years passed, the ranks grew by six members a year as the Justice League introduced their young protégés or other young heroes to the Titans. Though they began as a group of sidekicks looking to distinguish themselves from their mentors, they would go on to expand into a worldwide establishment.

The Titans were originally based solely out of Mount Justice in Happy Harbor, the original headquarters of the Justice League. As the team continued to grow, another headquarters was placed on the west coast of the country in Jump City. They have also been known to operate out of the Hall of Justice & the Watchtower.

They work very closely with the Justice League as many of their mentors & former Titans are members. In addition, they sometimes pair with The Team (or Outsiders) despite it technically being against the laws set by the United Nations. They consider the Outsiders to be their brother team who does the work they can't do themselves. Many of the members have also left to move up to join the League & other will join the Team to combat more issues with less sanctions for them to follow. Everyone is encouraged to go on their own path as long as lines aren't crossed.

The Titans are split into seven distinct factions; freshmen, sophomores, juniors, seniors, Titans, mentors & those that are inactive. Once training is complete, members can stay on the Titans, move on to the Justice League or make their own path as a crimefighter.

* **Freshmen Members** are first year Titans. They only do training at the headquarters & do not participate in patrol unless accompanied by a League member, usually their mentor. Report to Miss Martian.
* **Sophomore Members** are only allowed to patrol with a League member or senior member. Report to Miss Martian.
* **Junior Members** can patrol with another junior member or senior member. A mentor is not necessary unless they come across a critical situation. Report to Red Robin.
* **Senior Members** are allowed to patrol on their own & are expected to help train the new members. Report to Red Robin.
* **Titans** have completed their training & are now full fledged members. They are sent into the field on missions given to them by the League. Report to Cyborg.
* **Mentors** have completed their training & have moved on to another team (i.e. Justice League). They come back to help with training, give missions to the Team or lend a hand with their level of expertise.

### Leaders

* Robin (2003 - 2007)
* Aqualad (2003 - 2014)
* Miss Martian (2007 - Present)
* Cyborg (2008 - Present)

## Trivia

* Teen Titans is an alias given to them by the Joker. He used it to mock them because they were so young & it stuck.
* M'gann & Wally are the only remaining members from the original team. However, Wally did retire in 2007 to attend college but came back in 2011.
* Some names have been recycled but only after the former member takes a new name or has retired from the superhero business (i.e. Conner Queen operates as Red Arrow as Will Harper has decided to unofficially retire & Roy Harper goes by Arsenal).
* Members that have not completed their training are either full-time or part-time. Part-time members usually are underage, still in primary school and/or living with their parents. Full-time members are those that live at Mount Justice all year round & receive their primary education here as well.
* Though the team started as a teenage superhero team, that has changed as many of the Titans are now young adults.
* Toni, Cody, Isaiah & Audrey stole a ship when they escaped from the Reach. It was later retrofitted to the new T-Jet by Cyborg.
* The original team created their own theme song based upon the old *Flintstones* theme song.
* Young Justice originally only referred to the founding members but later became another name for the Titans as a whole.

## Notes
