Teen Titans

The **Teen Titans** (ティーン・タイタンズ, *Tīn Taitansu*), is an organization in the *DC* series. It was created to be a "Junior Justice League", with its membership composed of teenaged superheroes and sidekicks who keep the world safe from the clutches of evil and work together to help each other to control their powers. It was intended to be an "adult/mentor-free zone" for the teen heroes to socialize and unwind with their peers.

Since the group's creation, the Titans have become a force to be reckoned with, working alongside other groups like the Justice League of America to fight crime and the forces of evil. The main group of the Titans comprises of the founding members, although there are other teams located on different sides of America. They are in charge of protecting their respective areas.

"*And they're not children, they're teenagers.*"

—Nightwing to Robin, on the Teen Titans.

### Groups

#### Main Teen Titans

The original team and founding members of the Teen Titans residing in Titans Tower. They are entrusted with the safety of Jump City, California, and any serious or major conflict going on in or outside the world, usually tackling the issues with as much efficiency and maturity as the adult superheroes. Below is a list of all five members. Known members include:

* Dick Grayson/Robin/Nightwing (leader)
* Koriand'r/Starfire (co-leader)
* Victor Stone/Cyborg (temporary leader)
* Rachel Roth/Raven
* Garfield Logan/Beast Boy
* Damian Wayne/Robin

#### Titans East

The second group of Teen Titans to be founded. They first appeared in "*Titans East - Part 1*", where they united to help defeat Brother Blood. The Titans East are entrusted with the safety of Steel City, presumably located in the Northeastern part of the United States. They seem to be the backup team for defending Jump City when the Teen Titans are out of town (*For Real*). Cyborg was the first and original leader of the Titans East, but after Brother Blood's attack on Titans East, Cyborg defeated Blood and realized that his place was with the original Teen Titans. He appointed Bumblebee leader of Titans East before heading back to Jump City with Robin, Raven, Beast Boy, and Starfire. "You already have a leader; you just need to listen to her." Even though they are most known for defending Steel City, they are well known in Jump City after the event of the episode "For Real".

## Notes & Trivia

* The Teen Titans first appeared in *The Brave and the Bold #54* (1964)
* Static's inclusion in the roster is possibly an allusion to writer Geoff Johns' original desire to include the hero in the team's 2003 series due to the popularity of the hero's animated series, Static Shock, but was unable to do so due to legal issues.
* The team's battle cry "Titans GO!" was originally used by Nightwing to rally the group's members. Since then the slogan has been used by the group's leaders at various times to that effect.
* During his time as a member of Arsenal's government funded Teen Titans group, Green Lantern (Kyle Rayner) and Donna Troy (then a member of the intergalactic police force, the Darkstars) pursued a romance that ended when the pair opted to go their independent ways.
