Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Based on the classic DC comic (mostly the 1980s incarnation by Marv Wolfman and George Perez, but with a lot of differences), with a generous dose of anime influence thrown in, Teen Titans (2003–2006) features the adventures of five young superheroes:Robin, the gruff, straight-laced leader; Starfire, an alien from the planet Tamaran who behaves like an Action Girl Funny Foreigner; Cyborg, the second-in-command Techno Wizard who can also hold his own in a fight with his body's built-in weaponry; Raven, The Quiet One, a moody sorceress with a few secrets of her own; and Beast Boy, the shape-shifting Plucky Comic Relief.While their adventures are primarily episodic, each season includes an arc that follows the most famous arcs of the comic book with some fidelity. Furthermore, in the last season, its arc not only introduces the majority of the classic characters from the comic but also the members and enemies of the allied superhero team, The Doom Patrol. Deathstroke appeared as the series' main antagonist, though he used his civilian name of "Slade" due to the executives thinking "Deathstroke" was inappropriate (which became redundant come the Young Justice adaptation). Other comic book villains such as Trigon, the Fearsome Five, and Mad Mod appeared, as did a number of original villains created for the show, such as Red X and Control Freak.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })It has a Made-for-TV Movie titled Teen Titans: Trouble in Tokyo, and its own comics series, Teen Titans Go! (not be to confused with the TV series Teen Titans Go!).It was originally pitched as a Young Justice series, and the two are very similar in tone. Oddly enough, when Young Justice itself got a series, many noted it to be closer in tone to the original Teen Titans comics.Reruns used to air every weekday on Boomerang at 11 pm through midnight, and weekends from 3-4 pm, and on Cartoon Network at 6-6:30 AM EST. All five seasons of the show are likewise available on DVD, Blu-ray, iTunes and Netflix (not instant). The show has also returned in the form of chibi-fied shorts for Cartoon Network's new DC Nation block, called, appropriately enough, New Teen Titans. Thanks to the success of these shorts, a new Super-Deformed, Denser and Wackier series titled Teen Titans Go! premiered as a part of the DC Nation block in 2013, with all of the original cast back as their respective characters. While popular with the target audience, response to it among older, long-time fans of the characters has been... mixed.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })Tara Strong tweeted that there is a chance this show could receive another season if Teen Titans Go! To the Movies was successful. However, the film’s moderate performance at the box office left this promise in doubt, with the Direct to Video movie Teen Titans Go! vs. Teen Titans so far being the only project involving the original series.This series has a character sheet and a recap. Now has a Best Episode Crowner. All episodes can be watched for free (with ads) on Cartoon Network's website, provided you sign in with a cable provider. The TV episodes are available on the HBO Max streaming service with a subscription. | |

Aliens Speaking English | |
Teen Titans / int_1049848f | comment |
Aliens Speaking English: Tamaraneans have the ability to absorb other people's language through mouth-to-mouth contact (ahem). As a result of kissing Robin, Starfire's English is fine, though she slips up from time to time and doesn't always "get" wordplay or innuendo. She also speaks very formally, rarely using contractions. Why the Tamaraneans who stayed on Tamaran and presumably never met an English speaker can speak English is never explained, though. | |

Hotter and Sexier | |
Teen Titans / int_108c268e | comment |
Hotter and Sexier: Notably averted and a source of some criticism from those hoping for a more direct adaptation of the comic book. The character designs for the Titans were made more awkward and teen-like than their comic book counterparts. Although this can be said for virtually all the characters, Starfire is the obvious poster child for this particular aversion. | |

Noble Savage | |
Teen Titans / int_121865ac | comment |
The episode also breaks in the opposite direction, because it insists the Tamaraneans in particular are victims of mindless bigotry from other planets' cultures. The problem with this understanding is that the Tamaraneans are a Noble Savage Proud Warrior Race comprised of Flying Bricks that are immune to the freezing cold vacuum of space; their bellicose tendencies are so ingrained that a later episode "Go!" indicates that the closest word Tamaraneans have to "Nice" is actually translated "Weak". So the Tamaraneans are an astonishingly powerful Proud Warrior Race... that everybody else picks on for absolutely no reason, because they're all just jerks. | |

Thinking Up Portals: Herald helps Beast Boy and the other surviving Titans in "Titans Together". He can open up a portals with his trumpet, which he then carries them in a Pocket Dimension while he innocently slips by the Brain's perimeters. He's so harmless looking that the villains just think he's a random person walking through the area. During the ensuing battle, he also randomly helps others out by opening portals for others to jump through or redirect attacks. | |

Teen Titans / int_12dd1d4c | comment |
Rape as Drama: Seriously. Sort of. Many of Slade's lines had pedophilliac undertones as it was, but "Haunted" has him giving a speech that almost completely sounds like rape dialogue. It's even worse in "Birthmark". Slade rips off a considerable portion of Raven's outfit. He then grabs her by the arms. While she moans in agony. Holy crap. | |

Teen Titans / int_14beeefd | comment |
Darker and Edgier: Season 4: Trigon's plot is to force Raven to fulfill her destiny as the antichrist and destroy the world. "Birthmark" alone has a scene where Slade brands Raven in a scene that is uncomfortably creepy. This after the series was sometimes accused of being too kiddie. "Haunted", definitely. It's basically Robin having a PTSD-fueled mental breakdown the whole time, and the final scene sounds as much like rape as "Birthmark" does. In general, Slade's episodes tended to be darker then was typical for the show. | |

Teen Titans / int_15184afb | comment |
In a way, Control Freak also is one. He is an avid television and movie junkie. As Raven called him, "a couch potato with a souped-up remote." At the same time, he can make inanimate objects come to life with said remote, make a larger one that has "high-end equipment to break half the laws of physics", uses said remote to escape into the World of TV, use his television knowledge to Take A Level In Badass and learn how to counter both the Teen Titans and Titans East. Is he a large creepy fanboyish villain? Yes. Is he dangerous? Definitely. Making specific counters against Titans even makes sense for him. He's a Genre Savvy comic book nerd... in a comic book world. | |

Terrible Trio: The HIVE kids. Jinx is the leader, with Gizmo and Mammoth working with her. They're pretty dangerous on their own if they put their minds to it, but generally need a higher-up to scare them into that level of competence — Slade in their first appearance and Brother Blood later. Ultimately they strike out on their own, but without The Man Behind the Man they become joke villains. And then Jinx finally gets fed up with that and does a Heel–Face Turn. | |

Diegetic Soundtrack Usage | |
Teen Titans / int_19e9b150 | comment |
Diegetic Soundtrack Usage: Cyborg sang his own variation on the tune in the Cold Open to "Titans East, Part 1". ("When there's trouble you know what to dooooooooooooooo! CALL CYBORG! He can shoot a rocket from his shooooooooooooe! 'CAUSE HE'S CYBORG! Doo-da-doo-da, somethin' like that! Nananana, BIG FLUFFY CAT! That's right!") See it here and laugh. The ringtone of the Titans' communicators is the melody of the theme song. In "Homecoming, Part 1", when Beast Boy is pretending to advertise a "tuborkel" (combined tuba and snorkel, for when you want to play your tuba in the bathtub), the first notes he plays are the opening bars of the theme melody. | |

Teen Titans / int_1ae27a74 | comment |
The Fridge Horror kicks into high gear when you remember Identity Crisis, which DC implied is the reason Dr. Light went from fighting the Justice League to fighting the Teen Titans. He's fighting the Titans in this canon, and Raven's Mook Horror Show probably gave him subconscious flashbacks to the first time his mind was invaded. | |

The Chick | |
Teen Titans / int_1b68ff00 | comment |
Starfire is The Chick, as well as The Big Guy. When she travels to a Bad Future, she learns that she is the team's reason for staying together through thick and thin, and throughout the series, she's the team member most concerned with friendship and staying connected. She's also a Girly Bruiser, with Super Strength that outmatches even Cyborg's, the ability to shoot powerful energy blasts, and endurance to the elements (including withstanding radiation and the conditions of deep space). She is also capable of achieving supersonic speeds, an ability that is more directly addressed in the show's comedic counterpart, as she has both entered and escaped Earth's atmosphere under her own power twice and evidently is versed in "the secret to traveling faster than light", per "Final Exam". | |

Marshmallow Heaven: In "Forces of Nature", Starfire hugs Beast Boy, as a cat, after forgiving him for the motor oil balloon prank. If you look carefully, Beast Boy is rubbing his face on her boobs. Hey, he's a teenage boy, what did you expect? The Abridged Series subtitled this with "im on ur girlfriend rubbin on ur boobs!" Puss-In-Boots Eyes: "You know you can't resist the face..." Happens to none other than Raven. After getting back into their bodies at the end of "Switched", Starfire hugs Raven and for split second, we can see her head at a questionable place. | |

The Mean Brit: Mad Mod, who's mean, but also wacky and entertaining — and appears to be motivated by a need to correct young people's education and grammar.... And also has an aversion to America in general; hence Jump City's makeover in "Revolution" to look more like a mish-mash of English cities. Which might beg the question, why not show defiance by trying to embody Scotland? | |

Mythology Gag | |
Teen Titans / int_26ac510e | comment |
Mythology Gag: In one episode, Red X, an alter ego Robin used, returns, and it's definitely not Robin. On BB's board-o'-theories, a careful viewer can notice "Jason Todd" and Nightwing. And "Long Lost Brother". Larry's real name: "Nosyarg Kcid" in "Fractured".note Dick Grayson spelled backwards. Beast Boy being referred to as a "changeling" in "Winner Take All".note Changeling is name Beast Boy used upon joining the Titans in the comics. When Cyborg infiltrates H.I.V.E., he uses the alias "Stone"; in the comics, his civilian identity is Victor Stone. In the same episode, Beast Boy shuts up Robot!Cyborg by turning into a starfish and clamping over his face, in a manner very reminiscent of classic DC villain Starro the Conqueror. A lot of the lines from Terra's episodes are slightly changed from The Judas Contract, such as Terra referring to Raven as a "witch" (she referred to her as that a lot in the comics). Terra being turned to stone and the monologue is also very reminiscent of Terra's burial statue and the monologue during her death. Beast Boy's infinite movie and TV show knowledge is possibly a reference to the fact that he was, at one point, a television actor in the comics. In "Mother Mae-Eye", the titular villain character combs Robin's hair in the style that the original Dick Grayson version of the character wore (y'know, the one without pants), which he eventually shakes out. His hair also slips into this for a few seconds in "Date With Destiny". He's very quick to shake it out. When Beast Boy dresses up in Robin's costume, he jumps through a screen held by Starfire that proclaims him "The Sensational Character Find of 1965". This is an homage to the title page of Robin's first ever appearance in Detective Comics, and the date of Beast Boy's first appearance (Robin himself was "The Sensational Character Find of 1940"). In the "The End, Part 1", Beast Boy finds a penny, with the date of 1964 which he then gives to Raven for "good luck". The Teen Titans debuted in The Brave and the Bold #54 (July 1964). Right before Robin and Starfire have their big damn kiss in the movie, she tells him to "Stop talking". It's rather minor, but Starfire said variations of this frequently to Dick Grayson in the comics. In "Prophecy", Slade mentions that he's actually enjoying working for someone else, (in this case Trigon) a reference to his role as a mercenary in the comics. In "For Real", Control Freak fanboys over the main cast, and the taglines he gives them—"Teen Wonder", "Mistress of Magic", "Shapeshifter Supreme", "Half-Man Half-Robot", and "Alien Powerhouse"—are all directly lifted from the introductory captions◊ of the original Wolfman/Pérez New Teen Titans comics. In "Date With Destiny", Starfire gets into a Cat Fight with Kitten, half of the villainous duo of the episode with her father Killer Moth. Aside from Kitten being named what she is, this—and the cat sound effects that are used for humor during their fight—are especially fitting with Starfire since, in the original comics, it was explained that her species, the Tamaranians, are basically superpowered alien humans who evolved from cats. | |

Defanged Horrors: When Raven pulled Dr. Light into some sort of dark vortex within her cloak, and when he came out he was curled up in the fetal position muttering, "S-so dark. Make it stop. Please make it stop." The episode "Haunted" also ranks up there as one of the creepiest pieces of Western Animation targeted towards kids. They took Slade, a villain who's already creepy in his own right, and left the audience constantly unsure whether he was Back from the Dead and torturing Robin, or whether Robin had gone insane and was mutilating himself. The truth is somewhere in between. | |

Bilingual Bonus | |
Teen Titans / int_294ed981 | comment |
Bilingual Bonus: For those who understand Spanish. At least you know what the bloody hell Más Y Menos are talking about.note No English subtitles are provided. Their catchphrase, "Más y Menos, sí podemos!' literally means "Plus and Minus, yes we can!" Not only is it a straightforward Spanish rhyme, but it is also a pun on the saying "más o menos" ("more or less.") They've also shouted at least one curse word in Spanish! The Latin American Spanish dub had to modify this, naturally, and the Season 3 DVD release substituted in a different line as well. In one of the fights between Robin and a robot version of Slade, large billboards behind them states "Read the comics" in Chinese. The Movie has a Japanese bonus. People who don't know Japanese have never been on the Internet wouldn't catch the joke when a cute girl calls Beast Boy a geek (otaku) and he thought she called him cute, for example. The Cat Girl keeps talking to him during their fight also, which just frustrates him because he has no idea what she ever says. Also in one scene, one of the signs spells out "Robin" in Katakana. If you know Japanese, you'd see the reason why the Japanese version of the theme song's used for silly episodes. And for those who don't, the English translation of the song is revealed in the movie. The song's lyrics are very random for a superhero cartoon theme song. | |

Post-Kiss Catatonia: The Movie's random Japanese boy from whom Starfire Mega Mans the language. Also Robin, after Starfire first kisses him and then pushes him to the ground when he first meets her in "Go". | |

Beam-O-War: Happens fairly often in the series, especially involving Starfire, Raven, or Cyborg with a villain capable of energy attacks. Some examples include: Starfire and Thunder/Lightning in "Forces of Nature". Raven with Trigon in "Nevermore". | |

Limited Wardrobe | |
Teen Titans / int_2a7e7af1 | comment |
Limited Wardrobe: The team even sleeps in their costumes. Justified since plenty of crimes take place at night and their home is a giant letter on an island next to the city. This is repeatedly demonstrated for every character (except Cyborg, who doesn't wear clothes). Robin's closet is revealed to contain only multiple sets of his costume, complete with gadgets for each one. When the other members of the team decide to try them on, Hilarity Ensues. Starfire is shown carrying dozens of copies of her uniform out of her room when she goes to get married. | |

More Dakka: Cyborg when Slade's army starts marching to Titans Tower ("The End (Part 1)"). Arm cannons? Try two giant arm cannons, MMM-grade missile launchers in the chest and shoulders, a giant cannon on his shoulder, and draining the Tower's power to feed it all. Of course, Slade is left standing, his army rises out of the ground, and Cyborg is completely drained afterwards. | |

Was It Really Worth It? | |
Teen Titans / int_2c27353f | comment |
Was It Really Worth It?: In the Robin vs. Speedy fight during the episode "Winner Take All," Robin wins, but Speedy asks this before being teleported away. An odd example, as both Robin and Speedy had both explicitly expressed that they'd do anything to win, and it isn't clear what would have changed their minds — Robin does break Speedy's bow, but neither seems to mind, and it's inexplicably fixed by the end of the episode. | |

Light/Darkness Juxtaposition: Between Raven and Dr. Light. To date, Raven — a demon's daughter who dresses in dark colors and uses dark-themed magic — is one of the few things that the light-based supervillain is terrified of. Having been dragged into her dark dimension once before, he would rather surrender and be jailed than having to face her again. | |

Create Your Own Villain | |
Teen Titans / int_326a44a1 | comment |
Create Your Own Villain: Really Beast Boy is the one who sent Terra over the edge with his rejection of her. This is forgivable, however, seeing as how she had just betrayed him and his dearest friends to their worst enemy after they took her in twice and welcomed her into their group with almost no qualms whatsoever (Raven being the one voice of dissent, which quickly stopped as she came to trust Terra as well)...and for some reason, she still expected him to be OK with that. The only one to blame in that situation was Terra herself. Beast Boy's biggest mistake was letting his emotions affect how he spoke to Terra and letting her leave with Slade rather than taking her back to the tower as a prisoner. | |

Actor Allusion | |
Teen Titans / int_392372f9 | comment |
Actor Allusion: In his first appearance, Mad Mod (voiced by Malcolm McDowell) claims that "nothing teaches discipline and respect like a brain-erasing trance." Well, the line from the movie is "brain-erasing drugs," but it is a kids' show. He even uses The Ludovico Technique. The quote "You're just jealous 'cause I sound like a rock star" is a nod to Greg Cipes' actual career as a reggae-ska rock singer. On top of that, Cipes has lived on a vegan diet since age 8, and actually is a professional surfer, so he fits with Beast Boy's lingo. The hero of the Star Wars Shout-Out in "Episode 257-494" is voiced by James Arnold Taylor, a.k.a. Obi-Wan Kenobi.note Though at the time Teen Titans was airing, only Star Wars: Clone Wars was aired, as Star Wars: The Clone Wars came a few years later. Kid Flash is voiced by Michael Rosenbaum, who voiced the adult Flash. Lightning is voiced by Quinton Flynn, whose Star-Making Role was also as a man codenamed "Lightning". Mother Mae-Eye is voiced by Billie Hayes, who is best known for playing another twistedly maternal wicked witch. | |

Adaptational Sympathy: Terra is a runaway with zero control over her powers, rather than being the Manipulative Bastard who was willingly working with Slade in the comics. While she does become friends with the Titans, she leaves when she thinks Beast Boy told them of her powers. Afterwards, Slade takes advantage of her and she becomes The Mole. And while she does betray the team, she is shown having some regrets and later performs a Heroic Sacrifice. Also, her romance with Beast Boy is shown to be genuine and not fake. | |

Reality Warper: Mad Mod turned the sky into a huge Union Jack... somehow. To say nothing of all the other unexplained weirdness that happens whenever he shows up. Though Mad Mod is probably more a Master of Illusion than a Reality Warper. Trigon is a serious example, turning all of humanity to stone, reducing every building in the city (and world) to rubble, turning the oceans from water to magma, and covering the sky with smoke...in the space of about a minute. | |

Black with white edges for Raven (red edges for her Superpowered Evil Side and pure white for her "White Raven" form). In the episode "Nevermore", the various parts of her psyche wear different colored robes to match that aspect. Pink is a happy Genki Girl who thinks Beast Boy's jokes are Actually Pretty Funny, gray is a timid Nervous Wreck who Apologises a Lot and green is a brave, Hot-Blooded Boisterous Bruiser. Brief glimpses at two other sides of her, yellow and orange, apparently represent her intelligence (complete with a pair of glasses) and her rudeness (upon arriving, orange burps). | |

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome | |
Teen Titans / int_3ed23024 | comment |
Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: Starfire saving Val-Yor didn't end his racism. Instead, he tells her that she is one of the "good ones", a compliment that neither Starfire nor the other Titans took well. Despite having a Story-Breaker Power and being easily capable of handling the entirety of the H.I.V.E. Five at once with no real trouble, Kid Flash does not have unlimited energy and will get tired eventually. Madame Rouge deals with him by repeatedly hunting him down until he's too exhausted to fight back or run away, and it takes a Heel–Face Turn from Jinx to save him. The series finale. The Brotherhood of Evil has been beaten, and the Titans have returned home. However, things are not neat and tidy. There's a new villain around, and Terra's seemingly back. The episode ends without either plotline having been resolved. In addition, they've been gone for a long time and many things have changed around town in their absence. In "For Real", Aqualad uses his hydrokinesis to make water shoot out of the Titans' kitchen sink. When the episode cuts back from the commercial break, he's shown with a wrench fixing the pipes. In "Kole", when the titans come across some hungry velociraptors and have Beast Boy communicate with them, however, his Animorphism allows him to turn into animals and talk with them, but not to actually control them, nor does it grant him any social affinity with them, all this gets them is confirmation that yes, they do want to eat them. Robin and Terra's fight in "Aftershock, Part 1" on both ends. On Robin's end, he's a Badass Normal going up against a girl with superpowers. On Terra's end, she attempts to fight Robin (who was trained for several years by Batman compared to Terra's minimal time with Slade) in hand-to-hand many times instead of simply using her powers. This ends up making the fight seem much closer. | |

In the fourth season, Raven, after becoming her father's portal to Earth and being transformed into a powerless, younger version of herself, is able to regain all of her powers by drawing on The Power of Friendship and cause a complete Snap Back of the global destruction Trigon caused. | |

Broken Aesop | |
Teen Titans / int_401d4116 | comment |
Broken Aesop: The episode "Troq", is an Anvilicious message about racism. Sadly, it's somewhat undermined because the episode involves them committing genocide against a robotic race, on the word of a known racist. Sure they almost caused some severe Collateral Damage, but you could make an argument that they're trying to protect their species at all costs. With the way Val-Yor acts and regards Tamaraneans, we can't even be sure the Locrixes are eradicating organic life, or if Val-Yor is in fact the aggressor, and the Titans were charmed and didn't find out the whole story. The episode also breaks in the opposite direction, because it insists the Tamaraneans in particular are victims of mindless bigotry from other planets' cultures. The problem with this understanding is that the Tamaraneans are a Noble Savage Proud Warrior Race comprised of Flying Bricks that are immune to the freezing cold vacuum of space; their bellicose tendencies are so ingrained that a later episode "Go!" indicates that the closest word Tamaraneans have to "Nice" is actually translated "Weak". So the Tamaraneans are an astonishingly powerful Proud Warrior Race... that everybody else picks on for absolutely no reason, because they're all just jerks. If you turn your head and squint, it makes more sense. Tamaran, as established in Go!, lost a war to the Gordanians. On top of this, they seemingly readily agreed to marrying off Starfire to Glgrdsklechhh when faced with another war, implying that while individually powerful warriors, they're not all that good at this whole "War" thing, giving them mostly a reputation as wild, dangerous thugs. Lampshaded at the end of "Episode 257-494": | |

Bittersweet Ending: "Things Change" ends with Beast Boy coming to terms that Terra is better off not remembering him, the Titans, or her powers but Terra enjoys her new life. "Troq" ends with Val-Yor and the Titans left in bad terms with the former still racist and declaring that Earthlings are just as bad as Tamaraneans. However, the Locrix are destroyed and the Titans learned a lesson that while some people may never change their views, there will be others like the Titans who don't judge on appearances. | |

Brainwashed: Happens to all the Titans (main, East, and a few reserves) at least once. Beast Boy seems to get it a lot after the team's first run-in with Mad Mod. In "Revolution," also featuring Mad Mod, the entire population of Jump City. This was Brother Blood's greatest power, and the fact that it didn't work on Cyborg was the reason for his obsession with the boy. | |

Story Arc | |
Teen Titans / int_42008602 | comment |
Story Arc: Each Season had one. The first season focused on the Teen Titans figuring out who Slade is and thwarting his schemes, eventually learning that he wanted to bring Robin over to the dark side. The second season revolved around Terra, her acceptance as a member of the Titans, and her eventual betrayal of the team to Slade. The third season's main story arc dealt with Cyborg coming to terms with himself and Brother Blood's schemes as the season's Arc Villain. The fourth season was about Raven's father Trigon forming an allegiance with Slade and conspiring to get Raven to fulfill the prophecy of Trigon's arrival into our dimension and bring about The End of the World as We Know It. The fifth and final season had a lot of focus on Beast Boy learning to be more mature and accepting that things change as well as the Brotherhood of Evil's plan to take out the Teen Titans. | |

They had ridden a Ferris Wheel together as he shared cotton candy with her and they watched fireworks (1x02); she also called him "my boy" while fighting Fang in "Date With Destiny" (2x06), which was promptly followed by a slow dance after the two were declared King and Queen of Prom. Robin also has several Save the Princess moments in "Betrothed" (3x03), including scaling the side of a massive castle to get to Star, and the two are otherwise frequently seen hanging out together and saving each other bridal-style. "Stranded" is in Season 4. No wonder Starfire considered them to be in some sort of relationship. | |

Robin and Beast Boy◊ also swap out for a more winterized version of their usual outfits, albeit more subtly. As for Cyborg, "stylish" depends on what you think of him looking like an angry Michelin Man. Notably, Starfire averts this with the justification that her kind is far more tolerant to extreme cold. | |

Leaning on the Fourth Wall | |
Teen Titans / int_4a3e547f | comment |
Leaning on the Fourth Wall: In the Trapped in TV Land episode "Don't Touch That Dial", Cyborg recognizes the episode of the show they're in as being episode 1 of the fourth season. Feel free to guess what episode and season "Don't Touch That Dial" is. The same episode (also known as "Episode 257-494", its production number) also has Robin grabbing the camera, declaring that watching television while Control Freak was inside will liquefy your brain. For added comedic value, the show they were interrupting during the scene featured a doctor who had discovered the secret to world peace and was going to share it with the viewers. It also has a mugshot of Control Freak on a news bulletin, with him holding up a number: 257-325—the production number of "Fear Itself", Control Freak's first appearance. And to really nail down the ways this episode mutilates the fourth wall, it even goes after the in-show version of it - at the very end of the episode, Cyborg and the red-clad woman from the soap-opera scene are hugging. | |

In "Kole", when the titans come across some hungry velociraptors and have Beast Boy communicate with them, however, his Animorphism allows him to turn into animals and talk with them, but not to actually control them, nor does it grant him any social affinity with them, all this gets them is confirmation that yes, they do want to eat them. | |

Culturally Sensitive Adaptation | |
Teen Titans / int_4bdb06f5 | comment |
Culturally Sensitive Adaptation: In The Judas Contract, Terra is The Mole for Slade and is in a sexual relationship with him even though he's much older than her. When Slade decides not to go through with his plan to kill the Titans, Terra turns on him and ends up dying when she loses control of her powers and the story treats her as more evil than Slade even though the latter is the one who came up with the idea to kill the Titans in the first place and pursues a sexual relationship with a girl young enough to be his daughter. In the animated series, Terra is depicted as a young, scared girl who is manipulated by the older Slade. While Terra's crimes are not glossed over, she isn't depicted as the more evil of the two between her and Slade. Also, Slade and Terra are not in a sexual relationship. | |

Teen Titans / int_4dbd3706 | comment |
Clap Your Hands If You Believe: Inverted. Recently-deceased villain Slade has returned to beat the living crap out of Robin... or so Robin thinks. Turns out, he'd been exposed to a drug that makes him see Slade, and his body to react as if struck. He is able to disbelieve in his opponent just in time to save himself from the killing blow. A strange and perhaps confused example in the episode "Bunny Raven", where Raven, a magic-user, asserts that Mumbo's magic will disperse if she disbelieves it. Mumbo counters that magic doesn't work that way, and seems to be right. | |

World Limited to the Plot: With a couple episodes being exceptions, used with full force until Season 5. A good example of this is that despite Robin, Aqualad, Speedy, and Kid Flash being characters, we never even hear the hero names of their adult counterparts mentioned. We also never hear Robin's real name, though it's implied a couple of times to be Dick Grayson. | |

Invisible Parents | |
Teen Titans / int_5369c081 | comment |
Invisible Parents: All of the characters really, but lets focus on the main ones. Starfire's parents are probably dead, since her older sister was the one ruling once she returned to Tamaran. It's never mentioned if they actually are though, or how long it's been. In fact, they're never mentioned. Starfire was raised by a Tamaranean nanny so she might not have known her parents well. We meet Raven's dad, and see her mom in one episode. Her mom seems to be okay with her teenage daughter leaving home and doing her own things on Earth. Does she even know she defeated her father and is still alive? We know Robin's parents are dead, due to him being the apprentice of Batman, but why did he leave Batman to begin with? It's never shown in this version. Cyborg's parents are never mentioned or seen, ever. Do they exist? No one knows. Beast Boy's parents are never mentioned or seen either. We only know that it seems the Doom Patrol raised him, and even after those episodes, they're never seen or mentioned again either. | |

After Cyborg infiltrates HIVE, Brother Blood sees him as his archnemesis.

It had a bit of irony in that Cyborg was one of the larger characters in the series while Blood was rather wiry. | |

Sliding Scale of Silliness vs. Seriousness: The whole show dances a jig up and down this.

The Un-Reveal | |
Teen Titans / int_5a3b8032 | comment |
The Unreveal: Robin's attache case in "All Revved Up". Also, whether the schoolgirl was really Terra in the series finale, and if so, how she lost her memory...or if she really did lose it at all. This is explored somewhat more in an issue of Teen Titans Go! Also, anytime Slade's mask gets knocked off something happens to make sure we don't see his face (in Apprentice II he managed to cover it with his hand before more than a silhouette could be seen, and in The End II his face was just an undead skull). In "Final Exam", we only hear the final sentence of Robin and Starfire's conversation as they enter the living room: Raven's backstory gets one is "Switched" when she and Starfire have to know about each other's powers. In "Haunted", it's revealed that the chemical reagent in Slade's mask that caused Robin's hallucinations didn't activate itself; someone had to have triggered it from outside the tower. We never find out who is behind this. In Trouble in Tokyo, when Robin needs to ditch his superhero persona because he was framed for a crime, you think you will finally see his eyes, but nope, now he's got big 'ol shades. Actually, we DO get to see his eyes for a second, when Robin and Star's moment gets interrupted by the rest of the team. Of course, they're only specks because the animation goes haywire, but still. Red X's identity and how he knew about the suit in the first place. One of the New Teen Titans shorts lampshades the Wild Mass Guessing on the subject of his identity, and the majority consensus as well. That, Red X is Jason Todd. | |

Adaptation Distillation | |
Teen Titans / int_5a40d6a | comment |
Adaptation Distillation: The roster only consists of Robin, Starfire, Cyborg, Raven, and Beast Boy for this reason — to avoid having too much to work with. In the comics, even during the Wolfman-Perez era the show took inspiration from, there were always different members that go in and out, and never has the roster consisted of just those five. Here, it's simplified by making them the stars, while many of the other members were made into recurring/minor characters. The final season, which saw the Titans expand to include many other young heroes, is actually a pretty good representation of how many other characters have been members in the comics. | |

The episode "Haunted" also ranks up there as one of the creepiest pieces of Western Animation targeted towards kids. They took Slade, a villain who's already creepy in his own right, and left the audience constantly unsure whether he was Back from the Dead and torturing Robin, or whether Robin had gone insane and was mutilating himself. The truth is somewhere in between. | |

Central Theme: The central theme of the whole show is The Power of Friendship.

The Terra arc also has the central theme of taking responsibility for one's actions, and the Raven arc says yes, you can Screw Destiny. | |

Raven is, at times, The Lancer and, at other times, The Smart Guy. When Robin gets too hot-headed, she can act as a calming influence on him, though she also has this effect on other teammates when life becomes too stressful for them. She contrasts with each of her teammates in different ways, whether that's the magic-oriented thinking, or her serious demeanor, or her maturity — contrasting Cyborg, Beast Boy, and Starfire respectively. When it comes to anything magic-related, she fills the role of The Smart Guy. | |

Robin is The Leader, though being a teen himself, he is headstrong. He's led the team into and out of trouble and is a constant inspiration for the team to get through fights and to deal with their problems. | |

Humorless Aliens: Starfire has some trouble understanding why, exactly, Beast Boy's jokes are supposed to be funny. When exposed to "Why are ducks so funny? Because they're always quacking jokes!", she said something like, "Oh, I get it! It is humorous because ducks lack the large brains necessary for the telling of jokes!" | |

Teen Titans / int_6411dac8 | comment |
Robin and Terra's fight in "Aftershock, Part 1" on both ends. On Robin's end, he's a Badass Normal going up against a girl with superpowers. On Terra's end, she attempts to fight Robin (who was trained for several years by Batman compared to Terra's minimal time with Slade) in hand-to-hand many times instead of simply using her powers. This ends up making the fight seem much closer. | |

Comic-Book Movies Don't Use Codenames | |
Teen Titans / int_643879c7 | comment |
Comic-Book Movies Don't Use Codenames: "Deathstroke the Terminator" is simply Slade here. See Never Say "Die" below. However, the French dub of the series, which can even be heard on the DVD if the language is selected, actually calls the character "Deathstroke". ("Terminator" is still never uttered.) Interestingly, despite being her codename in the original comics, here Raven is her codename. Elasti-Girl inverted this with Beast Boy, calling him by his real name once—"Garfield." No one else does this, even after this event when Raven says she will get a lot of mileage out of it. Starfire is a downplayed example. While her real name is unknown (the comics has it as "Kori'andr", but it's also turned into "Kori Anders" again in the comics), she says that it translates to "Star Fire," so they're sort of calling her by her real name... a little... | |

Heroic Sacrifice | |
Teen Titans / int_6439de78 | comment |
Heroic Sacrifice: In "Aftershock Part 2": Terra. In "Snowblind: Red Star. A supercharged supersoldier from Russia, he willingly locked himself up in an old power plant for years to keep from hurting other people due to his body discharging radiation every few hours and at the end of the episode has Starfire take him into the stratosphere when he goes supernova due to an overload from battle. He returns in the second-to-last episode with no particular explanation. Robin nearly pulls one of these in the Season 1 finale by blasting himself with the same deadly nanites that were killing the rest of the Titans, gambling on Slade being more willing to let them all live than to let Robin die. He was right, too. | |

Family-Unfriendly Violence | |
Teen Titans / int_647ce68 | comment |
Family-Unfriendly Violence: Every now and then, the show features some pretty brutal No-Holds-Barred Beatdowns played completely seriously. There's never any blood, but it can get surprisingly disturbing with how far it goes; Robin "vs" Slade in the episode "Haunted" comes to mind. Speaking of Slade, his first death was rather horrific, as he's melted alive in magma (off-screen of course, but still). Brother Blood dismembers all of Cyborg's limbs mid-combat and rips open a hole in his chest in episode 39, and if it weren't for the fact that his body parts are electronic, it would obviously be a very graphic display of violence. | |

Forgot About His Powers | |
Teen Titans / int_650a309b | comment |
Forgot About His Powers: Raven has a very diverse set of magical powers that she mainly uses to throw things at people. There's also Cyborg's seldom used detachable limbs and grappling hook hand. Not to mention he can turn his hands into almost any tool he can think of. In the episode "Kole", the entire Titans team ends up falling through a huge hole into a prehistoric world. Despite Beast Boy being able to turn into flying animals, Cyborg's above mentioned grapple hook and Robin owning every swinging rope gadget imaginable. Starfire and Raven on the other hand somehow completely forget they can fly. Starfire's forgetfulness is particularly bad. One minute she's lifting tons over her head and flying faster than light, and the next she's struggling against badass normals. Justified because her powers are affected by her emotional state. Speaking of Beast Boy, he can turn into every type of animal there is (from one-cell amebas to prehistoric dinosaurs) quick as a blink, yet most of the time he just uses one form to smash or ram into things, and often gets knocked out or looks stumped when his chosen form doesn't work. The biggest offender is during "Winner Take All," when the bottom of a cage hanging in a portal dimension he's fighting in breaks under him and he forgets he can fly, losing the match. (Averted during a few tense episodes with Slade and Terra in Season 2, showing that when Beast Boy puts his mind to it he can fight with scary efficiency.) Also, in the episode "Calling All Titans," Beast Boy is assigned to deliver a communicator to Jericho, who is located at the top of a mountain. Rather than transform into a bird or other flying creature, he tries to climb the mountain as a goat. | |

Mind-Control Eyes: The Teen Titans have pink-tinted eyes in the episode "Mother Mae-Eye", when they are under the titular character's spell. Brother Blood's victims have glowing red eyes when he's directly controlling their actions, but normal ones when they're just being influenced. Beast Boy, along with the citizens of Jump City, have the stereotypical spirals when under Mad Mod's hypnosis. | |

And let's not get started on her transformation.... Source material indicates that her and other Tamaraneans are derived from cats/feline, justifying the licking Silkie part. | |

Knight of Cerebus | |
Teen Titans / int_6a47a1e2 | comment |
Knight of Cerebus: If Slade or Trigon is in an episode, it's pretty much a guarantee it won't be humorous (except for the first few episodes featuring Slade, but even then he wasn't played for laughs, though he also wasn't as creepy as he'd become later on). Also, Terra. You wouldn't think it at first but once all her deep emotional issues and comatose conscience come to light, you get the impression she's not there for fun and games... especially later on when she tries and succeeds in killing each of the Titans. Apparently anyway. The Brotherhood of Evil in Season 5, particularly The Brain. Whenever they were at work, the situation would be intense and leave little room for humor. The Puppet King, villain of the episode "Switched", was extremely creepy and tried to destroy the Teen Titans' souls while keeping their bodies as his slaves. Probably the first example in the show aside from Slade was Fixit in episode 5, "The Sum Of His Parts". All scenes with him had a dark tone and filled with Nightmare Fuel in direct contrast with the zany scenes with Mumbo in the same episode. | |

Expressive Mask: Robin's mask basically emotes as if it were his eyes, and he never takes it off (except once in the movie, and then he was wearing sunglasses). Slade's mask also counts, even if there's only one eye. Red X actually counts, too; in "Revved Up", his reaction to landing on the bus only to discover Raven and Starfire in it is nothing short of hilarious. | |

Teen Titans / int_6b983bf7 | comment |
Robin does not like being compared to Slade. At all (most noticeable in the Apprentice episodes, he manages to get over it but it's still a sensitive issue for him). However, this is partially true, since he's as obsessive as Slade. Deep down Robin does realize this, but doesn't want it to be pointed out. This may be why he's so obsessive with Slade, as he made him something he doesn't want to be and always many steps ahead of Robin. | |

Beware the Silly Ones | |
Teen Titans / int_6c75e0e4 | comment |
Beware the Silly Ones: Beast Boy usually plays the role of the plucky comic relief with shades of the butt monkey, but in "Titans Together", he proves himself an incredibly capable leader and powerful fighter. When he meets Terra again after nearly being killed by her and seeing how she's trashed the city, he has no qualms about fighting her even when they were basically an official couple. In a way, Control Freak also is one. He is an avid television and movie junkie. As Raven called him, "a couch potato with a souped-up remote." At the same time, he can make inanimate objects come to life with said remote, make a larger one that has "high-end equipment to break half the laws of physics", uses said remote to escape into the World of TV, use his television knowledge to Take A Level In Badass and learn how to counter both the Teen Titans and Titans East. Is he a large creepy fanboyish villain? Yes. Is he dangerous? Definitely. Making specific counters against Titans even makes sense for him. He's a Genre Savvy comic book nerd... in a comic book world. | |

Extreme Omnivore: A number of characters show this. Starfire is probably one of the most prominent examples. As an alien, she is happy to eat and prepare many Tamaranean delicacies, which disgust the rest of the crew, and has several strange eating habits when it comes to Earth food (such as consuming mustard as a beverage). Thanks to a virus, Cyborg goes on a rampage through the town and eats several normally inedible objects in "Crash", such as a stop sign and a little girl's teddy bear. In "Final Exam", after Jinx, Gizmo, and Mammoth take over Titans Tower, Mammoth is shown consuming the blue, moldy food in the Tower's Fridge. | |

Teen Titans / int_72cc2b00 | comment |
Titans East consists of five members, but two of them act as The Dividual. Bumblebee acts as The Leader, whereas Speedy is The Lancer. The former is more cooperative and collaborative whereas the latter likes to tease his teammates and is short tempered. Aqualad acts more in the role of The Smart Guy, being a super genius and is a tactics-oriented fighter. Meanwhile, Mas y Menos are The Dividual and are the strongest fighters on the team and reliant on brute force and momentum, making them collectively The Big Guy. | |

Adaptational Badass | |
Teen Titans / int_736d791f | comment |
Adaptational Badass: Killer Moth. In the comics, he's the most ineffectual of the Ineffectual Sympathetic Villains, with a completely ridiculous, ill-fitting costume that looks like it was put together by a colorblind man. Here, he has an army of genetically modified bugs at his command, has a cool half-man, half moth hybrid look, and takes out the Teen Titans like they're nothing. Despite this, he's still the series' Butt-Monkey when it's revealed that his teenage daughter, Kitten is the one who runs the show. However, he is by far the coolest incarnation of Killer Moth. This series just succeeded in creating the most badass Robin incarnation in the history of DC Universe. Instead of being the comic relief sidekick to Batman, he's the leader of the Teen Titans, and a martial arts master. Having been trained by Batman his whole life really toughened him up, and that's what this series is getting at. He's so badass in fact, that there have been multiple instances of him putting up a better fight than his superpowered teammates. Dr. Light was nothing but a perverted weakling who couldn't even beat a bunch of kids in the comics. In this show, he takes the Teen Titans with ease. He is without a doubt one of the least threatening villains, but he's powerful. Kid Flash also counts. In most incarnations, the writers have to work around his Story-Breaker Power of Super Speed. Here, they take it and use it to his full extent, and he spends most of the episode running circles around the Hive Five. The only way they manage to bring him down is by tiring him out, and that takes a long time. Here, Aqualad is a water-bending Atlantean cop who was lusted after by Raven and Starfire (for one episode, at least), can summon nearby aquatic wildlife when in his element (up to and including whales), and has an understated amount of Super Strength (he's torn his way through the Titan Tower's front door, ripped off robot arms, and toppled pillars underwater). Not too bad considering he was written out of the original Teen Titans comic book because the writer thought he was useless. Raven as well. In the comics, she can simply teleport, heal other people, and sense other's feelings (nothing actually useful during a fight). Here, she uses telekinesis, can fly, knows sorcery, etc. Madame Rouge. In the comics, after a short tenure as a recurring villain, she winds up Killed Off for Real and a source of guilt for Beast Boy. Here, her powers (stretching, Human Shifting) are greatly upgraded, making her an unholy fusion of Reed Richards and the T-1000. Nothing hurts her, except heat, and she just has to take a second to shapeshift into an undamaged form. The episode with Hot Spot alone being hunted by her makes her almost Nightmare Fuel, an implacable threat that can come from anywhere, look like anyone, and can't be held back for long even when your power is her Kryptonite Factor, and when she returns to battle Kid Flash, she's every bit as badass. He runs circles around the HIVE Five and looks so good doing it... then she shows up and it's a whole 'nother story, able to shift fast enough to actually stretch out to grab Kid Flash when he's looking like a yellowy blur and then proceed to lay down a beatdown. | |

She Is Not My Girlfriend | |
Teen Titans / int_78410584 | comment |
She Is Not My Girlfriend: Said by Robin and then gleefully deconstructed in "Stranded", as it leads to Starfire being so upset at Robin's mixed signals that she is unable to use her powers (which are driven in part by emotional clarity). He first chalks it up to her not understanding what a girlfriend is, but she demonstrates that she understands perfectly. They had ridden a Ferris Wheel together as he shared cotton candy with her and they watched fireworks (1x02); she also called him "my boy" while fighting Fang in "Date With Destiny" (2x06), which was promptly followed by a slow dance after the two were declared King and Queen of Prom. Robin also has several Save the Princess moments in "Betrothed" (3x03), including scaling the side of a massive castle to get to Star, and the two are otherwise frequently seen hanging out together and saving each other bridal-style. "Stranded" is in Season 4. No wonder Starfire considered them to be in some sort of relationship. Subverted in "Date with Destiny", when Robin yells at Cyborg that Kitten is not his girlfriend—Robin truly did not like Kitten in any way, shape, or form. | |

The Faceless | |
Teen Titans / int_7abba202 | comment |
The Faceless: Slade. Even when his mask gets knocked off in "The End" and his undead face is just a skull. Though at that point in the show, he had been reanimated by Trigon, but not resurrected. Apparently, this means he can't regrow his skin. The episode "Forces Of Nature" has Slade disguised as an old man, though this functions as a bit of a Mythology Gag, as his disguise is somewhat similar to his original comics appearance. Red X fits this as well, considering we only ever see his mask. And, to a lesser extent, Robin, due to the fact that his eyes are never shown, but this would fit better into The Eyeless trope. | |

Armor-Piercing Question: Shows up in "Forces of Nature." When Thunder begins to question the morality of what he and Lightning are doing, his brother repeatedly assures him that they're "just having fun." Later, when Slade has tricked them into unleashing a monster, Thunder wants to help the Titans, only for Lightning to start fighting him. Lightning has him pinned on the ground and is ready to kill him when Thunder asks him: "Tell me, brother...are we still having fun?" Beast Boy started it by giving one to Thunder earlier in the episode: before this, Thunder also thought they were "just having fun" by wrecking cars on a bridge. Beast Boy points to all the innocent bystanders that they're terrorizing in the process and asks, "Do they look like they're having fun!?" | |

Shared Universe | |
Teen Titans / int_7fd142ef | comment |
Shared Universe: Downplayed with the DCAU. The show was written with its own continuity, and DC had a number of embargoes on what characters and superhero "families" could be leads in a show in separate continuity at any given time (which is why Wonder Girl and Kid Flash aren't part of the main lineup—Wonder Woman and Flash were leads on Justice League). The restrictions did loosen slightly near the end; while it's still not in continuity, there are little nods like Kid Flash's appearance in Season 5 with DCAU Wally West's voice actor. Justice League Unlimited answers by having the Teen Titans-original Kid Flash costume in the Flash museum, and even went so far as to have a brief Guest Star appearance by Speedy with the same voice actor and costume from Teen Titans. | |

It Amused Me: This is Red X's reason for stealing the suit in the first place, and then using it to commit theft. He's not really a "villain" so much as he finds crime more entertaining than heroics — although he's not adverse to heroics when he feels like it, as he does have a streak of actual decency that tends to kick in if people are going to die or someone's done him a favour. | |

Anvilicious | |
Teen Titans / int_83d3bf25 | comment |
The episode "Troq", is an Anvilicious message about racism. Sadly, it's somewhat undermined because the episode involves them committing genocide against a robotic race, on the word of a known racist. Sure they almost caused some severe Collateral Damage, but you could make an argument that they're trying to protect their species at all costs. With the way Val-Yor acts and regards Tamaraneans, we can't even be sure the Locrixes are eradicating organic life, or if Val-Yor is in fact the aggressor, and the Titans were charmed and didn't find out the whole story. The episode also breaks in the opposite direction, because it insists the Tamaraneans in particular are victims of mindless bigotry from other planets' cultures. The problem with this understanding is that the Tamaraneans are a Noble Savage Proud Warrior Race comprised of Flying Bricks that are immune to the freezing cold vacuum of space; their bellicose tendencies are so ingrained that a later episode "Go!" indicates that the closest word Tamaraneans have to "Nice" is actually translated "Weak". So the Tamaraneans are an astonishingly powerful Proud Warrior Race... that everybody else picks on for absolutely no reason, because they're all just jerks. If you turn your head and squint, it makes more sense. Tamaran, as established in Go!, lost a war to the Gordanians. On top of this, they seemingly readily agreed to marrying off Starfire to Glgrdsklechhh when faced with another war, implying that while individually powerful warriors, they're not all that good at this whole "War" thing, giving them mostly a reputation as wild, dangerous thugs. | |

Big Entrance | |
Teen Titans / int_84fde8d1 | comment |
Big Entrance: "Birthmark" starts off with Dr. Light fighting the Titans. At first he seems to be holding his own, until Raven makes her entrance. She mimics the last time the two of them encountered each other, with scaling up her size a fair bit, Glowing Eyes of Doom, and tentacles made of shadow. The Fridge Horror kicks into high gear when you remember Identity Crisis, which DC implied is the reason Dr. Light went from fighting the Justice League to fighting the Teen Titans. He's fighting the Titans in this canon, and Raven's Mook Horror Show probably gave him subconscious flashbacks to the first time his mind was invaded. | |

What Happened to the Mouse? | |
Teen Titans / int_863fa679 | comment |
What Happened to the Mouse?: At the end of the Trapped in TV Land episode Cyborg has brought a soap opera star back to reality with him. What happens to her is never explained. Then again, how she got there is never explained, either... In Season 5, what happened to the Doom Patrol in the finale? Their leader was shown to be obsessed with taking down the Brain, you'd think they'd know when the Brain made a move as big as capturing the Titans en masse and they'd do something about it. Pay close attention to Slade's butler in the pilot, for he is never seen again. (He does make a brief appearance in the comic as a victim of Ravager, but his relationship to Slade is never elaborated on.) He does exist and have a backstory in the main comics, though- his name is Wintergreen, and he's a relatively minor character. He appeared with the rest of the villains in "Titans Together". Wonder Girl appears on the Wheel in "Titans Together", but never appears in the episode. Due to contract problems, Wonder Woman and her supporting cast weren't allowed to appear in shows she wasn't a main character of at the time. No Wonder Woman, no Wonder Girl. This doesn't apply to comics, and they somehow sorted this problem out by the time Young Justice came around. | |

Teen Titans / int_8a4988bb | comment |
"The Sum of His Parts" goes back and forth between two storylines. The main one features Cyborg being held prisoner by Fixit, who wants to remove his human parts and turn him into a full robot, and almost having his memories erased in a scene that could rival "Birthmark" for Mind Rape factor. The subplot features the rest of the Titans in their efforts to catch Mumbo, who they think is responsible for Cyborg's disappearance, in a chase scene over-the-top with silliness and visual gags. | |

Superpower Lottery | |
Teen Titans / int_8fac4a3a | comment |
Superpower Lottery: Raven, Brother Blood, and Slade while working for Trigon all seem to develop five or six new abilities in every alternate scene. Their typical powers are also pretty damn out-there. It's probably a sign when quite a few of Raven's episodes ("Switched", "Fear Itself", "Bunny Raven", "The End") feature her losing her powers in some way. And of course, her teleport-through-shadows power is only remembered when it suits the plot; if the Teen Titans need to be impeded in escaping a situation, the teleportation ability won't even come up. Jinx's powers seem to let her do anything as long as its considered "bad luck" for the target, anything. This can be as simple as causing small explosions or electronic mishaps, to telekinetically dismantling the chair they are sitting on, to causing the ground itself to break apart so water mains can just so happen to burst out right into the person's face. Her powers definitely made her stand out among her comrades, who were just a Super Strong Guy and a Techno Wizard. | |

Right before Robin and Starfire have their big damn kiss in the movie, she tells him to "Stop talking". It's rather minor, but Starfire said variations of this frequently to Dick Grayson in the comics. | |

The Real Remington Steele: A mysterious new criminal named Red X appears and seeks to partner with the Titans' enemy Slade. He turns out to be an alias of Robin, used in a ploy to investigate and/or capture Slade. In later episodes, the Red X costume is stolen by an unknown thief, essentially identical to the persona being portrayed by Robin. It's never revealed who stole the Red X suit, although Word of God is that he was not any previously-introduced character. | |

Leeroy Jenkins: The Doom Patrol partially due to Mento's Good Is Dumb and Knight Templar tendencies. Robot Man manages to be a particularly egregious example on his own though, getting taken down over two episodes than any of the Titans over the entire course of the series. Even lampshaded by Raven: "You sure he has a brain in there?" Suffice it to say, he'd be a lot worse if he wasn't literally Made of Iron. | |

There Are No Therapists: One wonders how society is okay with a group of teenagers with no parental figures involving themselves in horrific violence every day without any support, except from each other. Also, each Titan has an extremely dark past which quite obviously still affects them and even interferes with their work sometimes, yet they don't try to seek help in any way, and in the case of most of them, simply try to bottle it all up. | |

Teen Titans / int_98ce3773 | comment |
Cerebus Rollercoaster: Especially in later seasons (season 1 was fairly tonally constant), bouncing back and forth from lighthearted action-comedy, to utter random goofiness, to some surprisingly intense darkness. Honestly, when you've got an episode centered around sentient omnicidal cow abducting space tofu that comes shortly after an episode where the local Woobie gets tortured by being shown a vision of the apocalypse at her hands in a scene strongly choreographed to suggest rape, your show is officially schizophrenic. Sometimes the show's mood shifted within the individual episode. | |

Eating the Enemy | |
Teen Titans / int_9ad9c666 | comment |
Eating the Enemy: The villainous Rubber Woman, Madam Rouge, is sent by The Brain to get a Titans communicator and ends up targeting Hot Spot. Eventually Hot Spot destroys the communicator to keep it out of her hands. Fed up, Rouge decides to end Hot Spot by reeling him in and absorbing him into her body. Too bad for her, he's able to burn right out of her body. It's a basically a more literal case of Too Spicy for Yog-Sothoth. In the first episode, the Titans are tussling with Plasmus, a Muck Monster, without Cyborg. Eventually, Plasmus gets blown into multiple pieces, which regenerate into several smaller beasts that attack the Titans individually. While Robin gets away and is saved by Cyborg, the other titans getting consumed off-screen. But they in turn are saved by Robin and Cyborg's combination attack. | |

Evil Counterpart | |
Teen Titans / int_9b54d536 | comment |
Evil Counterpart: Blackfire. And later, Red X served as sort of a "morally ambiguous" counterpart to Robin. Jinx was designed to be a sort of evil counterpart to Raven, both magic users with a "dark" color theme. Slade acts like a sort of evil counterpart to Batman (as he was intended to be in the original comics, complete with Wintergreen, his own anti-Alfred). So it's no wonder he and Robin are so similar, since Robin takes after his mentor. | |

Took a Level in Badass: Dr. Light, of all people, takes one in "Kole", by virtue of having a better plan than usual, and having very loose limits on what can be done with "light-based" powers. He loses the level with his inevitable defeat by episode's end, however. Control Freak takes a level in TV badass (not that it makes him any less dorky in the script) in "Don't Touch That Dial", and tops it off with "I Know Karate". | |

Values Dissonance: In-universe example. In "Betrothed", Robin is appalled by the idea of Starfire having an arranged marriage, but Raven responds by asking if the Titans have any right to question Tamaranean culture. The issue's rendered moot anyway, since it turns out Starfire was lied to and she didn't have to marry anyone at all. Besides, Robin was complaining for other reasons. | |

Teen Titans / int_9e1e14ea | comment |
Ambition Is Evil: Jinx's motivations for villainy stem mostly from her desire to "be somebody". Hey, she was born with "bad luck" powers, so she might as well be a bad person so she can do something great (but terrible) with her life. However, there's also an inverted example of this; Jinx is far more ambitious than her lazy slacker teammates, so eventually part of the reason she turns good is so that she can work with competent people like Kid Flash instead of teammates who have no ambitions besides petty theft. | |

Mood Whiplash | |
Teen Titans / int_a4c37cbe | comment |
Mood Whiplash: The show basically had three kinds of episodes: dark and serious ones with occasional comedy, largely serious plotlines but with plenty of wacky hijinks on the side, and completely insane goofy ones. Apart from the multiparters, which were pretty much all the first type, all bets were off as to what the next episode would be like, and it wasn't at all uncommon for something serious to be followed up immediately by something bizarre (or vice-versa). "Fractured" goes from Larry's Cartoony Crayon World to Rancid's Gothtastic Reality. Raven (in regard to the latter): "Cool! I-I mean, oops." "The Sum of His Parts" goes back and forth between two storylines. The main one features Cyborg being held prisoner by Fixit, who wants to remove his human parts and turn him into a full robot, and almost having his memories erased in a scene that could rival "Birthmark" for Mind Rape factor. The subplot features the rest of the Titans in their efforts to catch Mumbo, who they think is responsible for Cyborg's disappearance, in a chase scene over-the-top with silliness and visual gags. "Birthmark" starts out with the Titans battling Dr. Light. They joke about his incompetence, and go out for doughnuts, all except for Raven. And then, in a remote location, Slade bursts out of the ground after two seasons of being dead. It gets worse. | |

Status Quo Is God | |
Teen Titans / int_a6e8221e | comment |
Status Quo Is God: Every single episode that was not a part of the story arc (Like Robin becoming Slade's apprentice, the whole Terra storyline, Cyborg with Brother Blood, Raven with the prophecy of ending the world, and all of Season 5, which focused on the Brotherhood of Evil and a lot of characters we have never heard of before unless we read the original comics). Even with Terra, after the Titans were convinced to let her become a member of the Titans, she only made a split-second appearance in the next episode. The episode after that had to do with her though but of course the events of that episode restore status quo of the team. Most episodes will always end where it began, but there are a few exceptions. | |

And I Must Scream: Malchior, who was imprisoned in a book for a thousand years. While Terra was trapped in stone, it is heavily implied that she was alive the whole time.

Jinx's powers seem to let her do anything as long as its considered "bad luck" for the target, anything. This can be as simple as causing small explosions or electronic mishaps, to telekinetically dismantling the chair they are sitting on, to causing the ground itself to break apart so water mains can just so happen to burst out right into the person's face. Her powers definitely made her stand out among her comrades, who were just a Super Strong Guy and a Techno Wizard. | |

No-Sell: Occurs semi-regularly, but a notable example is in "Wavelength" when Cyborg hits Brother Blood with a (small) missile and there isn't even any Clothing Damage when the smoke clears. But that's nothing compared to "The End: Part One": While trying to stop Slade and his army of fire demons from entering the Tower and taking Raven, Cyborg plugs into the Tower's power supply and unleashes a pair of gigantic shoulder cannons whose payload is implied to be somewhere in the vicinity of a suitcase nuke. When the dust clears, Slade just cracks his neck back into place while the fire demons promptly regenerate. | |

Nice Job Fixing It, Villain!: Thanks to Terra going ridiculously overboard in trying to destroy the Titans and the city, and generally prove herself a villain, the Titans manage to put aside any past feelings toward her and kick her butt easily the next time she confronts them by herself. And then Slade does some fixing of his own when he decides to be an asshole to Terra and take physical control of her through her supersuit, which is a big factor in Terra's final Heel–Face Turn. | |

Kid Hero All Grown Up: A darker, more pessimistic variation comes from the episode "How Long Is Forever?". Starfire pursues a time-traveling villain 20 years into the future, where she finds that, shortly after she disappeared, the other Teen Titans disbanded and went their separate ways. In this future, Cyborg is stuck hooked up to Titans Tower's power supply, Beast Boy is balding, overweight and has a miserable job as a one-man zoo, Raven is in a mental asylum, and Robin has taken on a new identity, Nightwing. Near the end of the episode, however, all the Titans band together again to defeat the villain, and Starfire returns back to her time. | |

Moral Dissonance | |
Teen Titans / int_b7f4aa9 | comment |
Moral Dissonance: Terra betraying the Titans by working for Slade as a spy is treated as a terrible act, and she is repeatedly called a traitor, but when Cyborg goes undercover at the Hive Academy and betrays them, it's treated as a good thing. Same deal with Jinx betraying the Hive Five by joining the heroes. The later case is more notable because she didn't even offer her old teammates a Last-Second Chance to join her in her Heel–Face Turn. In addition, she helps Kid Flash capture and cryofreeze her former friends as they are trying to escape during the final fight rather than simply allowing them to flee. | |

It Makes Sense in Context | |
Teen Titans / int_ba236071 | comment |
Speaking of Beast Boy, he can turn into every type of animal there is (from one-cell amebas to prehistoric dinosaurs) quick as a blink, yet most of the time he just uses one form to smash or ram into things, and often gets knocked out or looks stumped when his chosen form doesn't work. The biggest offender is during "Winner Take All," when the bottom of a cage hanging in a portal dimension he's fighting in breaks under him and he forgets he can fly, losing the match. (Averted during a few tense episodes with Slade and Terra in Season 2, showing that when Beast Boy puts his mind to it he can fight with scary efficiency.) | |

Color-Coded Characters | |
Teen Titans / int_bb660963 | comment |
Color-Coded Characters: Each of the characters who had some form of energy manipulation powers had a distinct color associated with them, observable when they used their powers and also when their eyes glowed. The major ones: Black with white edges for Raven (red edges for her Superpowered Evil Side and pure white for her "White Raven" form). In the episode "Nevermore", the various parts of her psyche wear different colored robes to match that aspect. Pink is a happy Genki Girl who thinks Beast Boy's jokes are Actually Pretty Funny, gray is a timid Nervous Wreck who Apologises a Lot and green is a brave, Hot-Blooded Boisterous Bruiser. Brief glimpses at two other sides of her, yellow and orange, apparently represent her intelligence (complete with a pair of glasses) and her rudeness (upon arriving, orange burps). Green for Starfire. Bright Blue for Cyborg and his T-car. Yellow for Terra. Bright red for Brother Blood. Fiery red-orange for Trigon (and Slade when empowered by Trigon). Dark purple for Blackfire. Red for Red X. Pale pinkish-purple for Jinx. | |

Mirror Match | |
Teen Titans / int_bbca7a41 | comment |
Mirror Match: Happens most commonly with Robin. All are Badass Normals who conceal their eyes/face and use martial arts/gadgets to compensate their lack of powers. To list there is Red X, and Speedy. The only exception is Slade, who actually is an enhanced metahuman, he is also the most prominent example for being Robin's Shadow Archetype and greatest foe. Cyborg gets one in his fight against Atlas, and multiple in the form of several robotic duplicates. He also has a minor one in Thunder. Both are blue, super strong, and use sonic weaponry that manifest as blue energy beams. Their opening attacks were even a 1-1 mirror and sent each other flying back. Starfire gets one in the form of her older sister: Blackfire. Beast Boy gets one when both he and Adonis become werewolf like creatures and battle. | |

Anti-Hero: Robin. He may be the leader of a team of superheroes, but he even admits to himself that he is too dogged in his pursuit of villains, and is not above lying to his friends if it helps his plan. Raven. Dark, mysterious, aloof and the least social of the group, her Dark and Troubled Past has her very jaded, and distant from basically everyone, and if you want to stay in one piece, don't you dare go into her room. However, she is on the good side like everyone else on the team, and gladly helps out her friends. | |

Remembered I Could Fly | |
Teen Titans / int_c00802ea | comment |
Remembered I Could Fly: Seemingly played straight when Beast Boy wants a moped and Robin reminds him he doesn't need one, because he can fly. Then averted when Beast Boy says he already knew that, but complains that his arms get tired. Justified in one chase scene where it's shown that of all the fliers in the group, he's the slowest and weakest. While the others all have modes of transportation (Robin has his motorcycle or being carried by Starfire, Raven can fly, and Cyborg has the T-Car), his animal forms rely on his stamina.... which depending on which animal form he picks, can vary wildly. It even goes into Shown Their Work territory when he does become a cheetah... but quickly runs out of steam, just like in real life. | |

Generic Doomsday Villain: The Puppet King from early into Season 1 is one. It is not explained how he came to be or why he wanted to control the Teen Titans' bodies as his personal army and destroy their souls. He basically just seems to be carrying out this plan for the sake of it so that the episode could have an antagonist, and he had no real personality aside from "creepy, high-and-mighty bad guy." Most of the more mindless secondary villains (Cinderblock, Plasmus, Overload, the Chrysalis Eater, Cardiac and the like) in the show seemed to be wreaking havoc just 'cuz. It doesn't help that the show had a general aversion to origin stories. | |

Cyborg gets one in his fight against Atlas, and multiple in the form of several robotic duplicates. He also has a minor one in Thunder.

Killed Off for Real | |
Teen Titans / int_cda501da | comment |
Madame Rouge. In the comics, after a short tenure as a recurring villain, she winds up Killed Off for Real and a source of guilt for Beast Boy. Here, her powers (stretching, Human Shifting) are greatly upgraded, making her an unholy fusion of Reed Richards and the T-1000. Nothing hurts her, except heat, and she just has to take a second to shapeshift into an undamaged form. The episode with Hot Spot alone being hunted by her makes her almost Nightmare Fuel, an implacable threat that can come from anywhere, look like anyone, and can't be held back for long even when your power is her Kryptonite Factor, and when she returns to battle Kid Flash, she's every bit as badass. He runs circles around the HIVE Five and looks so good doing it... then she shows up and it's a whole 'nother story, able to shift fast enough to actually stretch out to grab Kid Flash when he's looking like a yellowy blur and then proceed to lay down a beatdown. | |

Lighter and Softer | |
Teen Titans / int_ce6555f0 | comment |
Lighter and Softer: The '80s comic had a much darker tone than you might expect. Brother Blood was a cult leader with a penchant for Blood Magic, Terra was Deathstroke's lover and The Mole completely of her own free will, Raven was explicitly stated to have concieved when her mother was raped by Trigon and was often seen reeling with pain from using her abilities, Starfire was stated to have been a slave (with Sex Slave heavily implied) and Blackfire's interactions with her reek of predatory Villainous Incest, Cyborg's I Just Want to Be Normal-moments were played with all the seriousness you'd expect from a Real Life paraplegic and Gar's search for his parents was an all-consuming obsession that frequently led him to dump the team to track even the flimsiest lead (which caused all the friction one might expect). | |

Cerebus Syndrome | |
Teen Titans / int_cfdb9e17 | comment |
Cerebus Syndrome: Though the show as a whole was more of a rollercoaster, the individual arcs tend to show this one strongly (except the season four arc, which apart from a brief cold open with Dr. Light, is pretty bleak throughout). The Terra arc in particular is a great example, with plot progression that basically goes: Yay, the Titans have a new friend! Okay, she clearly has trust issues and suffers Power Incontinence when she uses too much power, but hey, none of the team are perfect. Aww, she and Beast Boy are clearly crushing on each other, too. Wait, she works for Slade!? And thanks to her, he knows everybody's weaknesses? And now they're taking over the city together? And wow, Slade's a Bad Boss. But Terra makes a Heroic Sacrifice and saves the day, and she's apparently frozen in stone forever. Bittersweet Ending, much? | |

Most Common Superpower: Raven is... very well... "developed", compared to the other female characters. Starfire is a very (emphasis on very) close second, with poor Terra as dead last. This is funny, considering how curvaceous Starfire is in the comics (more so than Raven). | |

Pupating Peril | |
Teen Titans / int_d0a3f4f7 | comment |
Pupating Peril: In the episode "Transformation." Starfire starts to exhibit all sorts of ugly deformations as a result of Tamaranean puberty that she tries to hide with bulky clothes. Eventually, she's unable to hide them anymore and flies off in fear that her teammates will think she's ugly. She ends up getting captured by a spider alien that feeds on Tamaraneans that go through this process, just as Starfire ends up immobilized in a cocoon. The other Titans show up to save her, with Robin reassuring Starfire that no matter how monstrous she might end up looking after the metamorphosis, she'll still be their friend. It ends up being moot, because Starfire looks just the same after emerging — the only difference being that she now has extra powers. | |

Dark Action Girl: Jinx fits this to a T (heh heh heh). She's also the leader of the H.I.V.E. Five, all male, and the only one with ambition. Her Heel–Face Turn was partly triggered by high ranking villains initially dismissing her as useless. She has yet to do real heroics, her motivations seem to be simple revenge (and a crush on Kid Flash). Of course, the phrase "Dark Action Girl" really brings Raven to mind... though she's more an example of another trope. | |

Race Lift: A possible case for Jinx. In the comics, she was Indian (and bald); on the show she's chalk-pale, but most likely Caucasian. However, the comics Jinx had a completely different set of powers concerned with elemental control.

Teen Titans / int_dc73eb79 | comment |
Dark Magical Girl: Raven is a lonely girl with father-angst that develops a close friendship with a sunny and perky girl. Even their powers are foils; Starfire uses her powers through fully embracing her emotions while Raven has to suppress her to keep them under control. Applies to Jinx as well. Including the Heel–Face Turn due to The Power of Love. | |

Cat Fight | |
Teen Titans / int_dceccabf | comment |
In "Date With Destiny", Starfire gets into a Cat Fight with Kitten, half of the villainous duo of the episode with her father Killer Moth. Aside from Kitten being named what she is, this—and the cat sound effects that are used for humor during their fight—are especially fitting with Starfire since, in the original comics, it was explained that her species, the Tamaranians, are basically superpowered alien humans who evolved from cats. | |

Bad Future: In "How Long is Forever", Starfire accidentally gets sent to one where Cyborg has to stay plugged in at Titans Tower since his batteries are dead, Beast Boy is a fat, bald circus performer after failing miserably as a solo hero, and Raven appears to have gone insane from loneliness. But Robin/Nightwing is relatively fine. He's become just like Batman, a loner with nobody to talk to. Thankfully, Starfire returning to her own time seems to fix it. | |

Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain | |
Teen Titans / int_dfa71e43 | comment |
Killer Moth. In the comics, he's the most ineffectual of the Ineffectual Sympathetic Villains, with a completely ridiculous, ill-fitting costume that looks like it was put together by a colorblind man. Here, he has an army of genetically modified bugs at his command, has a cool half-man, half moth hybrid look, and takes out the Teen Titans like they're nothing. Despite this, he's still the series' Butt-Monkey when it's revealed that his teenage daughter, Kitten is the one who runs the show. However, he is by far the coolest incarnation of Killer Moth. | |

Unexplained Recovery | |
Teen Titans / int_e5d8460d | comment |
Unexplained Recovery: The show uses this a few times to varying degrees. The most blatant example is the second season finale, "Aftershock", where Terra hunts down and seemingly kills all five Titans. Her methods range from No One Could Survive That! deaths to smashing Robin with a boulder at point-blank range, at which point it immediately cuts to her kicking his crest across the floor to Slade, implying that yes, there was even a body, and she pulled it off. And then they all show up underground looking little the worse for wear and ready for round two. Along with Terra herself. Maybe. Possibly. Matched (if not topped) by the fifth season premiere, where the Doom Patrol falls one by one as they fight their way to the Brain's lair, except not really. Red Star shows up among the numerous allies who come to the Titan's aid in the penultimate episode, even though he died by turning into a supernova in his introductory episode. | |

Flanderization | |
Teen Titans / int_e5e6640b | comment |
Flanderization: The H.I.V.E. kids were initially a competent villain team and the collective Evil Counterparts of the Titans, sliding into infighting and immaturity only when not "working". Later seasons flanderized them into being all incompetents (except for Jinx) who only won because they got lucky. Their boss, Brother Blood, was in his first appearance a cool-headed, charismatic leader who only overacted when playing to an audience; later appearances made him a straight Large Ham. Notably, the Titans themselves and Big Bad Slade inverted this trope; in the first few appearances they were defined by one or two traits (i.e. Robin was serious, Raven was a goth, Beast Boy was an immature jokester, Slade was a Card-Carrying Villain, etc.), but later appearances added a lot more depth to all of them. | |

Steven Ulysses Perhero: Slade's name is a pretty interesting case. His comic-book name, Deathstroke the Terminator is rejected by the bigwigs at Cartoon Network because saying death is a big no-no and the fact that "Terminator" is still copyright from Governor Arnie. As a result, the producers picked his actual name, Slade Wilson. And the weirdest thing is that it works. Deathstroke sounds like a hitman's name, which works in the original comics because he's a mercenary. | |

The Team | |
Teen Titans / int_ea08e9 | comment |
The Team: The original team consists of Robin, Cyborg, Beast Boy, Raven, and Starfire. While their team consists of five members, they each develop in such a way that they aren't consistently in one role, except for Robin and Starfire that is. Robin is The Leader, though being a teen himself, he is headstrong. He's led the team into and out of trouble and is a constant inspiration for the team to get through fights and to deal with their problems. Cyborg, depending on which part of the series, is The Lancer, but also The Big Guy who's a Gadgeteer Genius to boot. More specifically, he's a personality Foil to Robin, but he's more of a Best Friend rather than a rival. He's the Number Two on the team. Moreover, while Robin fights mostly through melee attacks and is more of a martial artist, Cyborg usually attacks with his ranged weaponry and is more of a street fighter. His robot body gives him more physical strength and access to a variety of weapons, too. All of this puts him as both The Lancer and The Big Guy at times. Beast Boy's primary role in the team is the Plucky Comic Relief, but he's got a trickster personality as well. He can transform into small or practical creatures for infiltration purposes as well as giant or strong creatures for fighting purposes. As such, he's also the Pint-Sized Powerhouse of the team. Raven is, at times, The Lancer and, at other times, The Smart Guy. When Robin gets too hot-headed, she can act as a calming influence on him, though she also has this effect on other teammates when life becomes too stressful for them. She contrasts with each of her teammates in different ways, whether that's the magic-oriented thinking, or her serious demeanor, or her maturity — contrasting Cyborg, Beast Boy, and Starfire respectively. When it comes to anything magic-related, she fills the role of The Smart Guy. Starfire is The Chick, as well as The Big Guy. When she travels to a Bad Future, she learns that she is the team's reason for staying together through thick and thin, and throughout the series, she's the team member most concerned with friendship and staying connected. She's also a Girly Bruiser, with Super Strength that outmatches even Cyborg's, the ability to shoot powerful energy blasts, and endurance to the elements (including withstanding radiation and the conditions of deep space). She is also capable of achieving supersonic speeds, an ability that is more directly addressed in the show's comedic counterpart, as she has both entered and escaped Earth's atmosphere under her own power twice and evidently is versed in "the secret to traveling faster than light", per "Final Exam". Titans East consists of five members, but two of them act as The Dividual. Bumblebee acts as The Leader, whereas Speedy is The Lancer. The former is more cooperative and collaborative whereas the latter likes to tease his teammates and is short tempered. Aqualad acts more in the role of The Smart Guy, being a super genius and is a tactics-oriented fighter. Meanwhile, Mas y Menos are The Dividual and are the strongest fighters on the team and reliant on brute force and momentum, making them collectively The Big Guy. | |

Teen Titans / int_ec9a5f50 | comment |
Deconstructed Character Archetype: The Very Special Episode "Troq" deconstructs the Noble Bigot with Val-Yor. He is genuinely heroic, badass, and friendly with the Titans, except he's horribly racist to Starfire, something the other Titans demand he apologize for once they find out. One would think Starfire saving him and the day would turn him around, it turns out racism is not that easily overcome. All it did was make him think Starfire was "one of the good ones", causing the Titans to lose any remaining respect for him. Val-Yor showed that no amount of nobleness would make bigotry acceptable. | |

Pick on Someone Your Own Size | |
Teen Titans / int_f013bd87 | comment |
Pick on Someone Your Own Size: Fairly common due to the fact that they're kid heroes. Sometimes their villains actually are old people (Mad Mod being a prime example). Slade has an obsession with Robin based on both spite and admiration. At first, he wanted to blackmail Robin into becoming his apprentice. After that fails, Slade seems to just want Robin dead, but still seems fascinated at the same time. After Cyborg infiltrates HIVE, Brother Blood sees him as his archnemesis. Unlike Slade, Blood just straight up hates the kid and covets his power because Cyborg is the only one Blood could never mind control. It had a bit of irony in that Cyborg was one of the larger characters in the series while Blood was rather wiry. | |

Slade throws a wrench in it by feeding Robin information and then deliberately baiting the team to a location that happens to hold all the answers. | |

Mushroom Samba | |
Teen Titans / int_f7d4f121 | comment |
A very unfunny version. In the episode "Haunted", Robin accidentally inhales an unnamed hallucinogen from an old mask of Slade's. Unlike most examples, however, this Mushroom Samba leads to one of the darkest episode of the series. Robin hallucinates that Slade is everywhere and goes on a rampage trying to stop him, even going so far as physically hurting Starfire, his love interest, and threatening to "take down" his team if they try restraining him. The drug manifests every blow on his body as though he really is battling someone, and so before he realizes that bright light disperses the visions, he's nearly beaten to death by himself. | |

At the end of the theme song, to go along with the anime influences and the fact that Ami Yumi are the singers of the theme song, at the end the count to 5, but instead of saying "five," they say "go" at the end.

Artistic License – Physics: Often going hand-in-hand with Artistic License – Martial Arts, as Robin should not hit as hard as Cyborg or Starfire but he often does. Cyborg's sonic cannon operates largely on the premise that the audience doesn't know how sonic waves work and treats it as a heavy-duty laser blaster. Robin once decided that the T-Sub, which is designed explicitly to maximize internal pressure to keep the ocean out, would be perfectly suitable transportation for outer space, which has absolutely no pressure to speak of to keep the hull from rupturing like a T-Sub-shaped bomb. | |

Beware the Nice Ones | |
Teen Titans / int_fccd06b6 | comment |
Starfire is another example, as seen in the episode "Go!". After escaping her captors and fleeing to Earth, she goes on a berserker rampage, nearly destroying the entire city (didn't help there was a language barrier with herself and everyone else at the time). The other four Titans were barely able to stop her, and that was when she STILL had on her ridiculously heavy handcuffs meant to keep her subdued. Just imagine how much damage she could have done if they weren't on. Starfire only stopped when Robin offered to get the cuffs off. | |

Ridiculously Cute Critter | |
Teen Titans / int_fd1f1a63 | comment |
Ridiculously Cute Critter: The Shalas from the episode "Stranded". Beast Boy, probably in unlimited ways◊ It's Raven! As a BUNNY!◊ Silkie too considering he is a large mutated larva that Starfire keeps as a pet. | |

Brick Joke | |
Teen Titans / int_fe0330fb | comment |
Brick Joke: In the Season 1 episode "Nevermore", Dr. Light causes Raven to lose control to her dark side, growing in height and using shadow tentacles to drag him under her cloak. By the time he's uncovered, he's pale and shaking, muttering about the darkness. In the Season 4 episode "Birthmark", the Titans fight Dr. Light again. Raven appears with the same height and shadow tentacles. Dr. Light immediately goes pale and says meekly, "I'd like to go to jail now, please." | |

Buffy Speak: In "Aftershock, Part 2", Cyborg describes Ternion (Cinderblock, Plasmus, and Overload merged into one monster) as "a giant Franken-thingy". | |

Dark and Troubled Past | |
Teen Titans / int_fed93e1b | comment |
Raven. Dark, mysterious, aloof and the least social of the group, her Dark and Troubled Past has her very jaded, and distant from basically everyone, and if you want to stay in one piece, don't you dare go into her room. However, she is on the good side like everyone else on the team, and gladly helps out her friends. | |

Villainesses Want Heroes | |
Teen Titans / int_ffa5e87d | comment |
Villainesses Want Heroes: Kitten demands that Robin take her to the prom, or she'll unleash mutant insects on the city. Robin is not happy. Neither is Starfire. Blackfire also flirts heavily with Robin in her debut appearance; however, this seems to be more about making Starfire angry than an indication of real interest on her part, as she doesn't even interact with Robin at all when she shows up again. | |

Shown Their Work | |
Teen Titans / int_ffad4e9f | comment |
Justified in one chase scene where it's shown that of all the fliers in the group, he's the slowest and weakest. While the others all have modes of transportation (Robin has his motorcycle or being carried by Starfire, Raven can fly, and Cyborg has the T-Car), his animal forms rely on his stamina.... which depending on which animal form he picks, can vary wildly. It even goes into Shown Their Work territory when he does become a cheetah... but quickly runs out of steam, just like in real life. | |
