Billy Numerous (Teen Titans)

**Billy Numerous** is a character from the *Teen Titans* animated series.

A metahuman criminal who can create copies of himself. Joins the HIVE Five in their second appearance.

In the XP4 fics, Billy Numerous debuted in the XP4 Heroes Coalition - Teen Titans.

## **Appearance**

Similar to teammate See-More, Billy's only exposure of skin is his mouth and chin (although his nose is revealed as well). His costume is a red, one-piece unitard with a white circle and a black division sign on it. Billy's only other accessory is his black eye-mask.

## **Personality**

Billy is probably the most fun-loving of the H.I.V.E. Five. He likes to communicate with his clones, and they are his usual "playmates," and seemingly his best friends. Billy believes that the H.I.V.E. Five would be better off committing crimes while living a regular life instead of joining the Brotherhood of Evil because he thinks that taking over the world is redundant, and that those "old-timers" are boring. However, he ultimately joins with his teammates. He has a fast talking Southern accent.

### **XP4 Fanfics**

After getting zapped by the Heel-Face Turn Blastah, Billy became a good person.

## **XP4 Fanfics**

Billy is a member of the Heroes Coalitions and is part of H.I.V.E. Five. He also attends the Vanguard Academy as a student.

### **XP4 Heroes Coalition - Teen Titans**

In Chapter 3, Billy, alongside his fellow H.I.V.E. members, caused trouble in Jump City when the Teen Titans and the New Age Avengers arrives. Billy and the others were defeated off-screen.

## **Abilities**

Billy Numerous has the power to duplicate himself as many times as he wants. His clones are effectively all independent entities who share both Billy's personality and duplication powers. The exact numerical limit of clones he can effectively create is unknown, though it ranges well beyond a hundred. If Billy overtaxes his power, however, all the clones will forcibly re-merge with him, which will lead to a massive shock to his system.

In addition, Billy's physical strength and endurance is superhuman. Working together, he and his clones were able to carry off Jump City's Bay Bridge with nothing more than collective raw muscle power. Each clone was carrying several tons worth of weight. He was also able to carry off tons of gold bars, something that even the big muscled Mammoth could not do. (Note: This is probably inconsistency meant to demonstrate Billy's strength in numbers, literally and figuratively.)

* **Body Multiplication**: Billy Numerous has the ability to multiply himself. Each one of his clones is its own separate person, and, when they come back together, supposedly "mix" their memories with that of the originally Billy.
* **Super-Strength**: Billy Numerous is seen to have the strength of lifting up a whole bridge, as seen in "Overdrive" when he carried away Jump City's Bay Bridge.

## **Trivia**

* Billy Numerous was specifically created for the TV series and did not have a previous appearance in the mainstream comic line. However, he has since made the jump with his first appearance in the DC Universe in *Catwoman* #78 (April 2008).
	+ They even state that Billy commits crimes just for the thrill, even stealing a bridge because he could. "He's just a jerk."
* Billy shares his self-multiplication powers with an established DC villain, Danton Black, A.K.A. Multiplex. However, Multiplex is typically an enemy of the hero Firestorm, not the Teen Titans.
* Billy is very similar to the Marvel Comics' character Multiple Man from the X-Men series, as well as to the DC Comics villain Riot. Both of them possess similar duplication powers, and the fact that both generally multiply whenever they are struck physically.
* In the Teen Titans Go! issue Nearly Nabbed Me, Billy stated that he was in college, so it is possible that he is not a teenager.
* Billy Numerous shows some similarities to the Wego twins from Kim Possible. Both have the ability to multiply and wear a red and black uniform.
