Based on the classic DC comic (mostly the 1980s incarnation by Marv Wolfman and George Pérez, 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 Beast Boy, the shape-shifting Plucky Comic ReliefWhile their adventures are primarily episodic, each season includes an arc which 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.It has a Made-for-TV Movie titled Teen Titans: Trouble in Tokyo; its own comics series, Teen Titans Go! (not be to confused with the TV series Teen Titans Go!); and three console video games: Teen Titans (2005), Teen Titans 2 (2006), and Teen Titans (2006).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.All five seasons of the show are available on DVD, Blu-ray and iTunes. The show has also returned in the form of chibi-fied shorts for Cartoon Network's DC Nation block in 2012, 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 successful at introducing the Titans to newer audiences, response to it among older, long-time fans of the characters has been... mixed.Tara Strong, the voice of Raven, 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.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.Not to be confused with Teen Titans (2003) which was published around the time the cartoon first started airing, although the series does utilize the characters that the cartoon was heavily based n. | |

Aliens Speaking English | |
| Teen Titans (2003) / 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. However, Starfire's sister, Blackfire, has none of these issues when she visited Earth and spoke English. The Tamaraneans who stayed on Tamaran and presumably never met an English speaker can also speak English, though how and why is never explained. | |

Hotter and Sexier | |
| Teen Titans (2003) / 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. | |

| Teen Titans (2003) / int_1240ff57 | comment |
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. | |

Fake First Kiss: When she first came to Earth, the first thing that Starfire did was kiss Robin because her species can learn any language by touching mouths with a speaker. The two don't share a proper romantic kiss until the Grand Finale. | |

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. | |

"The Villain Knows" Moment | |
| Teen Titans (2003) / int_14c83a01 | comment |
"The Villain Knows" Moment: "Masks" sees a new and enterprising villain known as Red X stealing components that Slade wanted, then offering to sell them to Slade. Having finally gathered all the components, Red X asks Slade what he wants with them, at which point Slade says, "Patience. You can't expect me to trust with such sensitive information right away, can you... Robin?" Beast Boy, Cyborg, and Starfire are fighting evil duplicates of themselves, who know what they know, who can do what they can do, as Robin and Slade try to retrieve Raven from the Underworld. The trio know they're fighting a delaying action, and they don't stand much of a chance. However, when they effectively win by switching dance partners, as it were, the duplicate of Starfire decides to turn the tables by revealing to her master, Trigon that Robin and Slade are moving against him. Trigon calmly and casually says, "I know." Cyborg notes to his friends that Trigon had always known, and was just toying with them. | |

Does This Remind You of Anything? | |
| Teen Titans (2003) / int_14ed6ab7 | comment |
Does This Remind You of Anything?: Slade is essentially a supervillian version of a child abuser. Not only is his way of acquiring "apprentices" a G-rated version of grooming, but a lot of his fights with Robin allude to real physical abuse tactics (all those painful arm-locks he does are not self-defence techniques). The episode "The Beast Within" seems to resemble a PSA about steroid abuse, especially in the scenes with Beast Boy going into an animalistic rage in the gym. However, it has nothing to do with steroids whatsoever. "Troq" has this brief discussion about Val-Yor's racism against Starfire's kind: | |

Control Freak also 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. | |

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. | |

Sibling Rivalry | |
| Teen Titans (2003) / int_19209d54 | comment |
Sibling Rivalry: Exaggerated. Starfire and Blackfire are implied to have been rivals when they were younger, with the latter gloating that she always was the better fighter. As teenagers, they become arch-enemies, with Blackfire framing her sister for her own crimes in "Sisters", then taking over Tamaran and arranging for Starfire to marry a disgusting slime alien in "Bethroted". | |

Diegetic Soundtrack Usage | |
| Teen Titans (2003) / 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. | |

Poor Communication Kills | |
| Teen Titans (2003) / int_1c445e86 | comment |
Poor Communication Kills: In "Stranded": Cyborg teases Robin about his attraction to Starfire, so he shouts back that she is not his girlfriend. Starfire misinterprets the sentence, thinking Robin means he doesn't see her as a friend at all. She acts aloof towards him for the rest of the episode, and since her powers are emotion-based, she can't use some of them while they are stranded in a hostile planet. A monster attacks the Titans' space ship, messing up the communication system. This causes the Titans to misunderstand Robin's orders. | |

Stealth Pun: Kardiak is an artificial monster that resembles a giant heart. During his debut, Robin yells "Kardiak, you're under arrest!" 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. This flies over the heads of those who don't know Japanese where "five" translates to "go" in their native language. | |

The Friends Who Never Hang: Has episodes that pair in some way each of the Titans with another member, with the exception of Beast Boy and Robin. Before Season 4, Robin and Raven also never had any episodes focusing on them, making their supposed close friendship that drove the emotional core of the season feel like an Informed Attribute. | |

| Teen Titans (2003) / int_1f42c032 | comment |
Good Costume Switch: Although a Dark Is Not Evil example, Raven has swapped her dark blue cloak for white one at least three separate times in the series. The white costume represents both her purity and power, and the change is always accompanied by a Big Damn Heroes moment. She goes back to her original cloak afterwards, even joking that blue is still her favourite colour. Starfire switched from an outfit not unlike her sister's in "Go" to her current uniform when she learns to be "nice". | |

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 Share Phrase, "Más y Menos, sà 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. | |

Mythology Gag | |
| Teen Titans (2003) / 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. This is further emphasized in "Bunny Raven… or… How to Make a Titanimal Disappear" where Mumbo Jumbo turns her into a cat. | |

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. | |

Unexpectedly Dark Episode | |
| Teen Titans (2003) / int_286141a2 | comment |
Unexpectedly Dark Episode: "Fear Itself". It starts off very light-hearted with Control Freak, one of the goofiest, least threatening villains the series has...and then becomes a horror story about Raven not admitting her fear, causing monsters to run amok the Tower. | |

Bilingual Bonus | |
| Teen Titans (2003) / 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 Share Phrase, "Más y Menos, sà 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. | |

Limited Wardrobe | |
| Teen Titans (2003) / 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: When Slade's army starts marching to Titans Tower in "The End (Part 1)", Cyborg responds by morphing his body to reveal two giant arm cannons, MMM-grade missile launchers in the chest and shoulders and a giant cannon on his shoulder, while 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 (2003) / 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. | |

Adaptational Late Appearance | |
| Teen Titans (2003) / int_2eb2d56d | comment |
Adaptational Late Appearance: Donna Troy, Wally West as Kid Flash, Aqualad and Speedy were members of the first roster of the Teen Titans alongside Robin in the original comics. Here, Aqualad makes his debut in the first season's eighth episode "Deep Six", Speedy is introduced in the second season episode "Winner Take All", Kid Flash doesn't show up until Season 5 and Donna Troy (because of mandates at the time that restricted Wonder Woman and her supporting characters from appearing in adaptations where she isn't one of the main characters) doesn't appear until making a cameo in the fifth and final season's two-part premiere episode "Homecoming". Herald debuted in the original Teen Titans comic in the 26th issue, while this continuity's take on the character doesn't show up until the fifth season. Ding Dong Daddy in the comics was one of the first villains faced by the original Teen Titans roster of Robin, Speedy, Aqualad, Kid Flash and Donna Troy and had fought them before they first ran into Mad Mod. In this continuity, he doesn't appear until the fifth season episode "Revved Up", long after this continuity's Mad Mod made his debut. Trigon in the comics appeared early on during the New Teen Titans run by Marv Wolfman and George Perez and it was established that Raven brought this iteration of the team together mainly to help fight her father. Here, Cyborg and Beast Boy first learn of Trigon's existence from a manifestation of him in Raven's mind in "Nevermore" and the Titans don't directly face Trigon until the fourth season, with the fifth season's Origins Episode "Go" showing that the Titans' formation in this continuity had nothing to do with Trigon. | |

Create Your Own Villain | |
| Teen Titans (2003) / 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. | |

Adapted Out | |
| Teen Titans (2003) / int_33d5b7f2 | comment |
Adapted Out: This continuity's version of the Doom Patrol omits the Chief, who is replaced by Mento as the leader, in addition to every member of the group besides Mento, Robotman, Negative Man and Elasti-Girl. As Beast Boy is the one member of the core team to not have his origins so much as hinted at and the only detail about his past given is his former affiliation with the Doom Patrol, the show makes no mention of his biological parents Mark and Marie Logan or his unscrupulous legal guardian Nicholas Galtry. His first love interest Jillian is also absent. Aqualad, Speedy, Kid Flash and Donna Troy appear with no acknowledgment made at all of their mentors Aquaman, Green Arrow, The Flash and Wonder Woman (which wouldn't have been possible for Donna Troy anyway, as the reason she only makes a couple of silent cameos here is because of a mandate at the time restricting the use of Wonder Woman and her associated characters in works where she isn't among the main cast). This continuity's version of the Brotherhood of Evil excludes Mr. Morden/Mr. Nobody, Garguax, Houngan and Trinity as members. | |

Official Couple: Robin and Starfire display mutual attraction throughout the series, but their relationship is only confirmed when they share a Big Damn Kiss in the movie. Kid Flash and Jinx become a couple. It's what prompts her Heel–Face Turn. Subverted with Beast Boy and Terra. It''s obvious that the two see each other as more than just friends, but their relationship never takes off due to her betraying the Titans. Even after she is revived following her heroic sacrifice, she makes it clear that she wants to bury her past and rejects him. | |

In the episode where Raven and Starfire end up in each other's bodies they have a lot of difficulty with each other's powers. Both of their powers are controled by emotions but in different ways. Raven has to suppress her emotions to keep them from going out of control, which causes a problem when the very emotional Starfire is in her body, and Starfire needs to feel strong emotions in order to activate her powers, and so Raven has to let out the emotions she normally suppresses to use them. | |

Squishy Wizard: Raven is not nearly as squishy as she could be, seeing as she has at least some martial arts moves, but she's still the most vulnerable to direct physical attack of anyone on the team, and if her spellcasting is interrupted the effect will usually fizzle (or worse, go haywire). | |

Actor Allusion | |
| Teen Titans (2003) / 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 lack of control over 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. | |

Super-Powered Evil Side | |
| Teen Titans (2003) / int_3cb17a19 | comment |
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 (2003) / 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. | |

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. | |

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 (2003) / int_42008602 | comment |
Story Arc: 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. | |

Characterization Marches On | |
| Teen Titans (2003) / int_479f9ad0 | comment |
Combined with Characterization Marches On, this can be seen in a lot of the first season episodes of Teen Titans; over time, the cast underwent a kind of reverse Flanderization, thanks to Character Development. In early episodes, several characters resemble stereotypes of themselves more than their selves from the later seasons—Raven's gothiness, Starfire's ditziness, Beast Boy's immaturity, and Slade's Card Carrying Villainy are all really played up, and the overall tone is more of a very lighthearted kid's action show, as compared to the somewhat schizophrenic later seasons, which tended to bounce back and forth between utter random goofiness and surprisingly intense darkness. It's generally considered that Robin's "Not So Different" Remark Story Arc with Slade is where the show really started acting like itself. | |

Stylish Protection Gear: The team has protection outfits that still look good. In the episode "Snowblind", and others where it's cold, Raven wears a cape◊ and fur-trimmed tights◊. 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. | |

Sealed Evil in a Can: Trigon, Raven's father, is a demon who was sealed away in another dimension, but was phopesied to be set free by his daughter and bring about the end of the world. In season four, Raven becomes his portal into Earth, allowing him to turn every creature in the biosphere into stone and cover the planet in lava. The dragon Malchior was sealed in one of Raven's spellbooks. His episode is centered around him disguising himself as a noble sorcerer in order to manipulate her into releasing him. | |

Leaning on the Fourth Wall | |
| Teen Titans (2003) / 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 (2003) / 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. | |

Clap Your Hands If You Believe | |
| Teen Titans (2003) / 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. | |

Having finally gathered all the components, Red X asks Slade what he wants with them, at which point Slade says, "Patience.

Early-Installment Weirdness | |
| Teen Titans (2003) / int_4f4372e9 | comment |
Early-Installment Weirdness: Some of the Season 1 episodes have some rather strange-looking animation. Animation Bump kicked in at some point around "Apperantice - Part 1" Combined with Characterization Marches On, this can be seen in a lot of the first season episodes of Teen Titans; over time, the cast underwent a kind of reverse Flanderization, thanks to Character Development. In early episodes, several characters resemble stereotypes of themselves more than their selves from the later seasons—Raven's gothiness, Starfire's ditziness, Beast Boy's immaturity, and Slade's Card Carrying Villainy are all really played up, and the overall tone is more of a very lighthearted kid's action show, as compared to the somewhat schizophrenic later seasons, which tended to bounce back and forth between utter random goofiness and surprisingly intense darkness. It's generally considered that Robin's "Not So Different" Remark Story Arc with Slade is where the show really started acting like itself. | |

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 (2003) / 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. | |

Bad Powers, Bad People | |
| Teen Titans (2003) / int_542b8e66 | comment |
Bad Powers, Bad People: Deconstructed. Raven and Jinx have powers that at first glance can only be used to the detriment of others, but they undergo Character Development and learn how to use their gifts to become heroines. Raven's demonic blood grants her vast magical abilities, but they are tied to her feelings and become destructive beyond her control whenever she experiences extreme bouts of emotions. Regardless, she refuses to accept her evil heritage and strives to be a heroine, which culminates in her blasting her demonic dad in the climax of season 4, ending his menace once and for all. For the first four seasons, Jinx is an unambiguous villainess, but the episode "Lightspeed" gives her A Day in the Limelight and clarifies that, since her only power is to curse others with bad luck, she felt she had no choice but to be evil. However, Kid Flash manages to convince her to join the side of good, and she assists the Titans during the final battle against the Brotherhood of Evil by firing several hex blasts at other criminals. | |

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.

Otherworldly Technicolour Hair: Raven has purple hair. She is a Human-Demon Hybrid as her father is Trigon the Terrible and her mother is a human woman. Trigon created her with the intention of bringing ruin to the world, but she defies him every time. This stands out in comparison with the normal human characters —Robin, Aqualad, and Bumblebee are black-haired; Speedy and Kid Flash have auburn; etc. The only exception is Beast Boy, who got dyed green as a side effect of taking the cure for a mysterious disease. | |

Power Incontinence | |
| Teen Titans (2003) / int_571a3c67 | comment |
Power Incontinence: Raven's and Terra's powers fluctuate according to their level of emotional stability. Terra in particular had so little control over her powers that she was constantly on the move, because her powers would eventually lead to destruction wherever she went. Beast Boy finds out that she has little control, and she makes him swear not to tell anyone. Robin soon puts it together on his own, and Terra assumes Beast Boy told him, which causes Terra to lose faith in her new friends and run away, quickly running into Slade. Starfire is allergic to metallic chromium, and sneezes starbolts. Which should mean she'd be doing it almost constantly, as chromium is something you'd run into all the time a modern setting. In the episode where Raven and Starfire end up in each other's bodies they have a lot of difficulty with each other's powers. Both of their powers are controled by emotions but in different ways. Raven has to suppress her emotions to keep them from going out of control, which causes a problem when the very emotional Starfire is in her body, and Starfire needs to feel strong emotions in order to activate her powers, and so Raven has to let out the emotions she normally suppresses to use them. "Snowblind" introduced Red Star, essentially the Soviet Captain America, and a crapload more powerful. Problems arose when it was revealed that his body periodically discharges a highly corrosive and dangerous plasma like substance, as well as deadly amounts of radiation. Red Star was revealed to have lived in exile his whole life in a compound built to contain him after he accidentally destroyed half of his hometown. Beast Boy tends to change shapes randomly when he sneezes, such as in the episode when he caught a cold. The villain Plasmus is a human with the ability to turn into a purple sludge monster, but he has no control over what he does in his monster form, he only returns to his human form if he is rendered unconscious, and he will change back to his monster form involuntarily shortly after he wakes up, so he has to be kept unconscious at all times. | |

| Teen Titans (2003) / int_575fd5e2 | comment |
Although a Dark Is Not Evil example, Raven has swapped her dark blue cloak for white one at least three separate times in the series. The white costume represents both her purity and power, and the change is always accompanied by a Big Damn Heroes moment. She goes back to her original cloak afterwards, even joking that blue is still her favourite colour. | |

Fantastic Racism | |
| Teen Titans (2003) / int_57b80b45 | comment |
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. | |

The Un-Reveal | |
| Teen Titans (2003) / int_5a3b8032 | comment |
The Unreveal: Robin's attache case in "All Revved Up". Retrieving it is the entire point of the episode, but its contents are never revealed to the viewer. The story ends just as Robin finally opens the case. 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! 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 (2003) / int_5a40d6a | comment |
Adaptation Distillation: The roster only consists of Robin, Starfire, Cyborg, Raven, Beast Boy, and briefly Terra 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. | |

Western Animation | |
| Teen Titans (2003) / int_5bf2aa37 | comment |
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. | |

Secret Pet Plot: One episode reveals Beast Boy had secretly kept one of Killer Moth's grubs as a pet and named it Silky, with Starfire finding out. At first disapproving, Starfire quickly grows to be more attached to Silky than Beast Boy and promises to keep Silky hidden from the other titans, failing due to feeding Silky Tamaranean food that causes it to grow to monstrous size. | |

Central Theme: The central theme of the whole show is The Power of Friendship. Several of the season arcs are centered around the theme that you may be not so different from a villain, be it by blood, abilities, or personality, but you can always choose to be a better person. 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. | |

The Leader | |
| Teen Titans (2003) / int_60e49895 | comment |
The original team consists of Robin, Cyborg, Beast Boy, Raven, and Starfire. With the exceptions of Robin and Starfire, each of them develop in such a way that they aren't consistently in one role. Robin is The Leader and a constant inspiration for the team to get through fights and deal with their problems, though being a teen himself, he is also headstrong and hot-headed, which leads the team into trouble on occasion. Cyborg is the Number Two, acting both as The Lancer and as a personality Foil to Robin, albeit in a Best Friend manner rather than as a rival. He is both The Big Guy and a Gadgeteer Genius, relying on ranged weaponry and his cybernetic implants' sheer brute strength instead of Robin's more methodical melee attacks. Beast Boy's primary role in the team is the Plucky Comic Relief, but he's got a trickster personality as well. He's also a Pint-Sized Powerhouse, being able to transform into small animals for espionage purposes, as well as giant or strong creatures to fight. Raven is The Lancer, with her calm nature, magic-oriented thinking, serious demeanor, and maturity contrasting Robin, Cyborg, Beast Boy and Starfire respectively. When it comes to anything magic-related, she also fills the role of The Smart Guy. Starfire is the one most concerned with friendship and staying connected, and as shown in "How Long Is Forever", the team falls apart in her absence. This makes her The Heart of the team, though she also has traits of The Big Guy, being a Girly Bruiser whose Super-Strength exceeds Cyborg's, as well as having the abilities to shoot powerful starbolts, withstand radiation and the conditions of deep space, and achieve supersonic speeds, having both entered and escaped Earth's atmosphere under her own power twice and being versed in "the secret to traveling faster than light", per "Final Exam". | |

| Teen Titans (2003) / int_61bd6423 | comment |
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!" This is more an issue of not "getting" human culture, rather than not having a sense of humour, as Starfire does laugh often, and even told a Tamaranian joke once. | |

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 (2003) / 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 (2003) / int_6439de78 | comment |
Heroic Sacrifice: In "Aftershock Part 2": Terra sacrifices herself to stop a volcanic eruption, becoming a statue in the process. 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 (2003) / int_647ce68 | comment |
Family-Unfriendly Violence: Every now and then, the show features some pretty brutal No-Holds-Barred Beatdowns played completely seriously, even if there's never any blood. Robin "vs" Slade in the episode "Haunted" is a shining example, as Robin is beaten to an inch of his life while desperately begging for Slade to stop. Slade's first death, where he's melted alive in magma. Most of it happens off-screen, but we still get to see the lava pouring into his mask's eye hole. 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 (2003) / int_650a309b | comment |
Forgot About His Powers: Raven has a very diverse set of magical powers, but she fights almost exclusively by telekinetically throwing things at people. Later episodes try to justify this by establishing that, due to their demonic nature, her powers are actually very unstable. 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 grapple hook, Robin owning every swinging rope gadget imaginable and Starfire and Raven somehow completely forgetting they can fly. Beast Boy 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. 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. | |

Variations on a Theme Song | |

Variations on a Theme Song Teen Titans had its theme song sung in Japanese at least once per season. Usually, hearing the Japanese cover meant that the episode would be of a more comedic nature. There was also a one-time rendition of the song by an alternate-reality Robin (aka "Larry"), also in Japanese. | |

Also when she attempts to "bathe" her pet, Silkie, by licking it like a mother cat. With a two-foot-long tongue.note Source material indicates that her and other Tamaraneans are derived from cats/feline, justifying the licking Silkie part. Apparently, she also has nine stomachs.

Knight of Cerebus | |
| Teen Titans (2003) / 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. | |

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. | |

Meaningful Name: Terra's name is Latin for "earth", and she is a geokinetic. Cyborg's cover identity when he infiltrates the H.I.V.E. Academy is Stone. Though this is also a nod towards Cyborg's real name being Victor Stone, it's also an allusion to him using holograms to make the H.I.V.E. students believe he has the power to turn his skin into organic rock. | |

Beware the Silly Ones | |
| Teen Titans (2003) / 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. Control Freak also 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. | |

Swiss-Army Weapon | |
| Teen Titans (2003) / int_6dec2f19 | comment |
Swiss-Army Weapon: Robin' discs have multiple uses. Although they explode on contact in most episodes, some instances show the discs freezing the targets solid, releasing extinguishing foam or cloaking Robin with a smoke screen. Speedy has a variety of arrows with different applications, which can freeze, electrocute or put targets to sleep. See-More's eye can change into many different kinds of weapons or tools, from a heat laser to bludgeoning projectiles, to x-ray vision and even a blimp... unclear if See-more is more of a case of a weapon or a body part though. Cyborg's arm can cycle through sonic cannon, blowtorch, and pretty much an entire toolbox. | |

Extreme Omnivore: Starfire is an alien, so 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. | |

Adaptational Early Appearance: This continuity establishes Starfire, Cyborg, Raven and Beast Boy as founding members of the Titans alongside Robin, when in the comics the other founding Titans besides Robin were Aqualad, Speedy, Kid Flash and Wonder Girl, with Starfire, Cyborg, Raven and Beast Boy not joining the team until Marv Wolfman and George Perez's New Teen Titans run in the 1980s. Mad Mod and Ding Dong Daddy were both enemies of the original Teen Titans in the comics, but this cartoon's version of Mad Mod makes his debut long before Ding Dong Daddy appears when the latter preceded Mad Mod in the original comics. | |

He ends up giving a communictor to Madam Rouge, who was disguised as Hot Spot, immediately after a fight between Rouge an Hot Spot, but Robin didn't take pains to ensure that he was actually giving the communicator to the right person. This then allows the Brotherhood of Evil to track every single Titan commincator that that Titans have been giving out to their new allies all season.

When She Smiles | |
| Teen Titans (2003) / int_72c8b35c | comment |
When She Smiles: Raven is The Stoic and is frowning most of the time. Her very rare smiles are a sign that either something's horribly, horribly wrong or something truly wonderful has happened. | |

The Dividual | |
| Teen Titans (2003) / 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 (2003) / 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 portrays her as 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. | |

Jerkass Ball | |
| Teen Titans (2003) / int_73f51de7 | comment |
A rare case of this being the same character. Beast Boy's animal transformations are normally painless, smooth, and entirely within his control. But in "The Beast Within", after getting doused with mysterious chemicals, he becomes an increasingly violent jerk and starts eating meat, until a fit of anger triggers a painful, slow, uncontrolled transformation into a werebeast. Downplayed, since Beast Boy never turned evil, just feral. Playyed straight with Adonis, who became a werebeast in a similar way in the same episode and actually was evil, attacking Raven. | |

Token Minority: The Teen Titans avert this. We have Robin the white guy, Cyborg the black guy, Starfire the orange alien, Raven the gray demonic hybrid, and green Beast Boy. Considering that they have a habit of meeting minority villains and allies, this show averts this trope pretty well. | |

| Teen Titans (2003) / int_7431b974 | comment |
Vile Villain, Saccharine Show: The show is relatively light-hearted and has a strong emphasis on comedy in addition to action, but always got darker whenever Trigon or Slade are the villains. The former is the embodiment of evil, while the latter is a conniving terrorist who is always two steps ahead of the heroes. | |

Spared by the Adaptation | |
| Teen Titans (2003) / int_7453bc5b | comment |
Spared by the Adaptation: Terra is turned to stone rather than crushed to death. The series finale "Things Change" would later show a girl resembling Terra who is heavily implied (and confirmed in the tie-in comic) to be Terra returned to normal. Beast Boy in the original comics joined the Titans because most of the Doom Patrol diednote Though Robotman and Negative Man were later shown to survive during Paul Kupperberg's run and Elasti-Girl was brought back to life in John Byrne's short-lived reboot and had her resurrection stick after Infinite Crisis reconciled every iteration of the Doom Patrol as canon, while here he simply left the team and his former teammates are still shown to live by their final appearance. Kole was created solely to be killed off in Crisis on Infinite Earths, while both the Pre-Crisis and Post-Crisis incarnations of Gnarrk died. In this continuity, both characters survive. Madame Rouge doesn't die and gets frozen with the rest of the villains, when her comics counterpart died fighting Beast Boy. | |

Last Resort Takeout: "Final Exam" had the Titans get into an argument over what they should have for dinner, interspersed with Starfire discovering that whatever leftovers they had have now evolved into a higher life-form. Finally Robin suggests, "Maybe we should just go out for pizza." Cut to the pizzeria, and now they're arguing about toppings. | |

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. | |

The Faceless: Slade's face is never seen. His mask is knocked away in the first season, but his features are hidden by shadows and his own hand. The same thing happens again in season 4, but this time he is undead, so Robin (and the viewers) only get to see his skull. The identity of the second Red X is a mystery, as he is never seen without his mask. | |

Armor-Piercing Question | |
| Teen Titans (2003) / int_7b6e47a5 | comment |
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 answered Beast Boy's question about their rampant destruction by saying that they're doing it because it is "amusing". Beast Boy points to all the innocent bystanders that they're terrorizing in the process and asks, "Do they look amused!?" | |

Origins Episode | |
| Teen Titans (2003) / int_7bc8c453 | comment |
Trigon in the comics appeared early on during the New Teen Titans run by Marv Wolfman and George Perez and it was established that Raven brought this iteration of the team together mainly to help fight her father. Here, Cyborg and Beast Boy first learn of Trigon's existence from a manifestation of him in Raven's mind in "Nevermore" and the Titans don't directly face Trigon until the fourth season, with the fifth season's Origins Episode "Go" showing that the Titans' formation in this continuity had nothing to do with Trigon. | |

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Terra could have been persuaded from Slade's influence earlier if it wasn't for the fact that Beast Boy pushes her off the edge when he declines her friendship at the very end of "Betrayal".

Shared Universe | |
| Teen Titans (2003) / 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. | |

What Happened to the Mouse? | |
| Teen Titans (2003) / 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.) 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. | |

Beast Boy, Cyborg, and Starfire are fighting evil duplicates of themselves, who know what they know, who can do what they can do, as Robin and Slade try to retrieve Raven from the Underworld. The trio know they're fighting a delaying action, and they don't stand much of a chance. However, when they effectively win by switching dance partners, as it were, the duplicate of Starfire decides to turn the tables by revealing to her master, Trigon that Robin and Slade are moving against him. Trigon calmly and casually says, "I know." Cyborg notes to his friends that Trigon had always known, and was just toying with them. | |

Protagonist-Centered Morality: 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. | |

Mind Rape | |

"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 (2003) / 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. | |

Wasn't That Fun? | |
| Teen Titans (2003) / int_904bf4e | comment |
Wasn't That Fun?: One episode has Raven forced to take three little kids who are potential superheroes to a safe place to stop them from being kidnapped by the Brotherhood of Evil. At one point, she and the kids are trying to escape from Monsieur Mallah by riding in a cable-car, and the wire snaps. They go plummeting down the mountain in the car, which eventually crashes, but the kids land harmlessly in the snow. The two who can talk both promptly sit up and scream, "Again! Again!" Raven's reply? "NO AGAIN." | |

Fountain of Youth: In the episode, "How Long is Forever?" after a battle where his time suit is dmaged, Warp is reduced to infancy. In the Season 4 finale, Trigon uses Raven as a portal to enter Earth's dimension. While this initially appeared to destroy Raven, Robin later found her, now a child with no powers, and (allegedly) no memories. | |

Transformation Conventions | |
| Teen Titans (2003) / int_92604214 | comment |
Transformation Conventions: In "Bunny Raven", Mumbo changes the Titans into animals; it kinda fits their fighting styles. Cyborg becomes a bear due to him being The Big Guy and possessing a muscled physique; Starfire is changed into a tiger because she's not only inhumanly strong but more agile; Robin is a monkey by virtue of his acrobatics and flexibility during combat; and Raven becomes a bunny as the ironic transformation (she's The Stoic). As for Beast Boy who can already change into other animals? He gets changed into a lamp limiting his transformative abilities to inanimate objects. | |

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. | |

Idiosyncratic Cultural Gesture | |
| Teen Titans (2003) / int_95cdfce9 | comment |
Idiosyncratic Cultural Gesture: When Starfire first escaped the Gordanian ship, she kissed Robin on the lips. Confusing possible romantic gesture to Robin, telepathic transfer of linguistic patterns for Starfire. She does the same thing to a random Japanese boy in "Trouble in Tokyo" to learn Japanese, making Robin further confused and a bit jealous. | |

Riddle for the Ages | |
| Teen Titans (2003) / int_96a33f11 | comment |
Riddle for the Ages: Red X was originally Robin in disguise. Another person takes on the costume in a later episode, but despite the team's efforts to figure out who he is, his identity is never revealed. The entirety of "Revved Up" is dedicated to retrieving a briefcase whose contents are of great importance to Robin. What the object(s) actually were is a mystery though, as the episode ends just as Robin opens it. "Winner Takes All" ends the same way the episode started, with a group of heroes being summoned by the Master of Games to compete in a fighting tournament, except this time all contestants are female. How they manage to escape this time is never revealed. Everything concerning Terra in the series finale is deliberately made ambiguous, as the viewer is never given any answer as to how she returned to normal and whether or not she remembers her former life. | |

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. | |

Cerebus Rollercoaster: Later seasons (Season 1 was fairly tonally constant) bounce back and forth from lighthearted action-comedy, to random goofiness, to some surprisingly intense darkness. For example, season 4 has an episode centered around sentient omnicidal cow abducting space tofu that comes shortly after an episode where Raven gets tortured by being shown a vision of the apocalypse at her hands in a scene strongly choreographed to suggest rape. | |

Eating the Enemy | |
| Teen Titans (2003) / 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 (2003) / int_9b54d536 | comment |
Evil Counterpart: Blackfire is Starfire's sister, and thus shares the same powers and background. However, Blackfire is ammoral, selfish and power-hungry, committing multiple crimes across the galaxy before forcefully taking control of her home planet and concocting a devious scheme to enhance her powers while simultaneously condemning her sister to a lifetime of suffering. Jinx was designed to be an evil counterpart to Raven. Both are magic users with a "dark" color theme, and they are often paired against each other whenever their teams meet. 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. | |

Values Dissonance: In-universe example.

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. | |

For the first four seasons, Jinx is an unambiguous villainess, but the episode "Lightspeed" gives her A Day in the Limelight and clarifies that, since her only power is to curse others with bad luck, she felt she had no choice but to be evil. However, Kid Flash manages to convince her to join the side of good, and she assists the Titans during the final battle against the Brotherhood of Evil by firing several hex blasts at other criminals. | |

Evil Costume Switch: Played with. Robin is coerced into becoming Slade's servant in "Apprentice". Though he did not do a Face–Heel Turn like his teammates thought he did, he still wears a Darker and Edgier suit instead of his classic superhero costume. Terra wore standard clothes before "Aftershock", where she embraces her role as Slade 3's apprentice and wears nothing but a breastplate and underwear, with the rest of her body covered in bandages. | |

Ambition Is Evil | |
| Teen Titans (2003) / 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. | |

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. | |

Mood Whiplash | |
| Teen Titans (2003) / 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" has the universe being altered from Larry's Cartoony Crayon World to Rancid's Gothtastic Reality. "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 (2003) / 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. The Brain is literally a Brain in a Jar. Without his henchmen, he is completely helpless. Plasmus must be kept asleep, as he involuntarily turns into a horrific slime monster whenever he is conscious. The only time his human form speaks is when he is horrified to realize he is awake, shortly before he mutates. | |

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. | |

When the dust clears, Slade just cracks his neck back into place while the fire demons promptly regenerate. | |

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. | |

Played with. Robin is coerced into becoming Slade's servant in "Apprentice". Though he did not do a Face–Heel Turn like his teammates thought he did, he still wears a Darker and Edgier suit instead of his classic superhero costume. | |

Loners Are Freaks: Raven is the least sociable of the Titans and prefers to spend her time alone in her room. In "Spellbound", Beast Boy calls her out for being weird, but this causes her to isolate herself from the team even more, as she sadly mumbles that she is not weird, just different. | |

Kid Hero All Grown-Up | |
| Teen Titans (2003) / int_b14e9e90 | comment |
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. | |

Bare Midriffs Are Feminine: Starfire wears a midriff-baring outfit and is generally gentler and more cheerful than the brooding goth girl Raven or the three boys on the team. When Terra joins the team, she also starts wearing a black crop top. In the Titans East team, their leader and only female member Bumblebee wears a yellow-and-black striped, midriff-baring top, whereas the male members all cover their midriffs. | |

Glowing Eyes of Doom: Tamaranean's eyes glow in moments of rage or when they fire their starbolts. Starfire's glow green, while Blackfire's glow purple. Raven's eyes glow white whenever she's using magic. Her demon form, as well as her father, Trigon, combine this with Red Eyes, Take Warning. Terra's eyes sometimes glow yellow when she uses her geokinesis, though it is inconsistent. They most prominently did so in her debut episode, and served as a sign of her Power Incontinence. | |

It Makes Sense in Context | |
| Teen Titans (2003) / int_ba236071 | comment |
Beast Boy 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. 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. | |

Baffled by Own Biology | |
| Teen Titans (2003) / int_ba253095 | comment |
Baffled by Own Biology: In "Transformation", Tamaranean Starfire undergoes multiple strange mutations and fears she is turning into a monster. When she flees to outer space for fear she will be rejected by her friends, she learns that she's going through a type of Tamaranean Transformation (their equivalent of puberty), with hers being one of the few culminating in forming a chrysalis around herself. Unfortunately, the being she learns this from specifically eats Tamaranean chrysalises! Downplayed, because while Starfire knew of the Transformation, she didn't realize it could manifest the way hers did — her sister Blackfire just turned purple for a couple of days. | |

This is driven further in the Season 4 finale, when Slade and Robin fight off an army of Trigon's lava monsters, using the exact same moves. As Robin points out though, there is one major fundamental difference between them: | |

Color-Coded Characters | |
| Teen Titans (2003) / 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. | |

Berserk Button: No one should ever go into Raven's room. When Slade's robots do so in "Betrayal", she throws a tantrum and unleashes a massive shockwave, accidentally striking Cyborg in the process. 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. Starfire cannot stand being the victim of a prank. In "Forces of Nature", she falls for a practical joke meant for Cyborg and is covered in motor oil. Her reaction is to loudly yell at Beast Boy. | |

Slasher Smile: Raven smiles sadistically when her demonic side first surfaced during the Dr. Light fight in "Nevermore". Terra cracks some devilish grins during "Aftershock Part 1" during her battles against the Titans, with a notable one being when she forcefully drags Raven underwater in an attempt to drown her. Brother Blood gave a lot of these too, particularly notably in "Titans East Part 2" as he's tearing Cyborg limb from limb. | |

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. | |

Ugly Guy, Hot Wife | |
| Teen Titans (2003) / int_bf74d357 | comment |
Ugly Guy, Hot Wife: Trigon and Arella, Raven's parents. He's a huge red demon with multiple eyes; while Arella is a beautiful young woman. Kitten and her boyfriend Fang fit also. She's a pretty blonde, with a nasty attitude to boot; while Fang is a human/spider mutant, but he only wants to develop his relationship more with Kitten. | |

Generic Doomsday Villain | |
| Teen Titans (2003) / int_c250346f | comment |
Generic Doomsday Villain: The Puppet King from early into Season 1. 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 just seems to be carrying out this plan for the sake of it so that the episode could have an antagonist, and he has 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. | |

New Powers as the Plot Demands | |
| Teen Titans (2003) / int_c26e2b1 | comment |
New Powers as the Plot Demands: Raven's main power is a variation of astral projection that lets her manifest her soul as a shadowy force, which she can use to fly, teleport, mentally move objects or create barriers. She gets more and more powers as the show goes on, such as teleportation, time manipulation and assorted magic spells. There are many justifications for it, such as just using new spells or perhaps being afraid to go all out due to her demon nature. | |

Yank the Dog's Chain: Terra's now an official Teen Titan, made friends with her teammates and even had a little romance with Beast Boy. You thought she's going to be a permanent character, right? WRONG. As it turns out, after the debut appearance, she seeks Slade's help, and even give out vital information to him into order for Slade to send his robot minions to attack Titans Tower. For once, we should have actually believed Raven's instincts. | |

However, due to her denial of being afraid, monsters manifest in the tower, and as the team is picked off one by one until only Raven is left, she comes to accept that she is afraid, but that doesn't mean she can't fight back and banishes the monsters from the tower. | |

Sour Supporter | |
| Teen Titans (2003) / int_cbf9d0fe | comment |
Sour Supporter: Their name should cue you but the Doom Patrol is a superhero team with a very different approach than the Teen Titans. For them, their mission takes the utmost priority since the knowledge of what would happen were their archenemies, the Brotherhood of Evil, to succeed understandably makes them very cynical. This contrasts with the Teen Titans's attitude — as teenagers, they have a less depressing view of life and have fun when not superheroing. Additionally, they also value teamwork and friendship more than the mission. | |

Killed Off for Real | |
| Teen Titans (2003) / 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 portrays her as 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. | |

| Teen Titans (2003) / int_ce147566 | comment |
Weak Boss, Strong Underlings: Subverted with the Teen Titans. On paper, Robin, The Leader and a Badass Normal, is this compared to his True Companions. His team includes one magic user, a shapeshifter, a cyborg, and a superpowered alien. In reality, however, Robin can go toe to toe with any of them thanks to his superior fighting skills — he might not be as strong or capable of shooting beams but his martial arts training means he can outmaneuver them. | |

Lighter and Softer | |
| Teen Titans (2003) / 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 (2003) / int_cfdb9e17 | comment |
Cerebus Syndrome: The Terra arc starts out comedic, with the Titans befriending an upbeat girl with incredible geokinetic powers and recruiting her into the team. Then it turns out she is actually very unstable, due to suffering from trust issues and Power Incontinence, and the episode takes a dark turn. She runs away at the end, but returns in a later episode, apparently much more self-confident and fully capable of controlling her powers, enough to be fully integrated into the Titans and start a heartwarming romance with Beast Boy... Only for a later episode to reveal she was working for Slade the entire time, having approached the heroes to learn their weaknesses, thus giving Slade the definitive edge he needed to take over the city. This leads to the series' Darkest Hour up to that point, and concludes with Terra making a Heroic Sacrifice in a season finale that heavily leans towards the bitter side. | |

Pupating Peril | |
| Teen Titans (2003) / 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. | |

Occidental Otaku: In the movie, Beast Boy is shown to be a manga worshipper. Curiously, he doesn't actually seem to know what the work "otaku" means, as he is confused when one of his enemies calls him that. | |

Glove Snap | |
| Teen Titans (2003) / int_d1934b7e | comment |
Glove Snap: In the episode where the second Red X makes his debut, the Titans are confused, since the first one was just Robin in disguise. Convinced that the Robin who had just helped them fight Red X is a robot, Beast Boy says they should check for batteries. Cyborg responds by ominously putting on some gloves, which loudly snap against his arm. Robin freaks out and tells his friend to wait, then provides a far more reasonable explanation to the events. | |

Stolen Good, Returned Better: The Hive takes over the Titans' (filthy) Tower. By the time the Titans retake it, the Hive have cleaned it up and alphabetized their CDs. The Titans are appalled, since now they can't find anything and they were saving that blue mold. But they did find the remote! | |

He grabs her jaw and holds her face still while he brags about how she can never leave him. | |

Dark Action Girl: Played with. Jinx is the leader and only female member of the H.I.V.E. Five, as well as the only one with ambition. In the last season, 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). | |

Cat Fight | |
| Teen Titans (2003) / 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. This is further emphasized in "Bunny Raven… or… How to Make a Titanimal Disappear" where Mumbo Jumbo turns her into a cat. | |

Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain | |
| Teen Titans (2003) / 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. | |

Fantasy Kitchen Sink: The main five are a Badass Normal superhero (Robin), a spellcaster (Raven), a highly advanced Cyborg, an alien (Starfire) and a shapeshifting metahuman (Beast Boy). As such, each episode leans towards a different theme, with some having a stronger influence from sci-fi elements, others delving into mysticism, and many other dealing with traditional superhero action. | |

Unexplained Recovery | |
| Teen Titans (2003) / 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 (2003) / 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. Brother Blood was 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. | |

| Teen Titans (2003) / int_e8a56ee7 | comment |
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 (2003) / int_ea08e9 | comment |
The Team: The original team consists of Robin, Cyborg, Beast Boy, Raven, and Starfire. With the exceptions of Robin and Starfire, each of them develop in such a way that they aren't consistently in one role. Robin is The Leader and a constant inspiration for the team to get through fights and deal with their problems, though being a teen himself, he is also headstrong and hot-headed, which leads the team into trouble on occasion. Cyborg is the Number Two, acting both as The Lancer and as a personality Foil to Robin, albeit in a Best Friend manner rather than as a rival. He is both The Big Guy and a Gadgeteer Genius, relying on ranged weaponry and his cybernetic implants' sheer brute strength instead of Robin's more methodical melee attacks. Beast Boy's primary role in the team is the Plucky Comic Relief, but he's got a trickster personality as well. He's also a Pint-Sized Powerhouse, being able to transform into small animals for espionage purposes, as well as giant or strong creatures to fight. Raven is The Lancer, with her calm nature, magic-oriented thinking, serious demeanor, and maturity contrasting Robin, Cyborg, Beast Boy and Starfire respectively. When it comes to anything magic-related, she also fills the role of The Smart Guy. Starfire is the one most concerned with friendship and staying connected, and as shown in "How Long Is Forever", the team falls apart in her absence. This makes her The Heart of the team, though she also has traits of The Big Guy, being a Girly Bruiser whose Super-Strength exceeds Cyborg's, as well as having the abilities to shoot powerful starbolts, withstand radiation and the conditions of deep space, and achieve supersonic speeds, having both entered and escaped Earth's atmosphere under her own power twice and being 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. | |

Raven's demonic blood grants her vast magical abilities, but they are tied to her feelings and become destructive beyond her control whenever she experiences extreme bouts of emotions. Regardless, she refuses to accept her evil heritage and strives to be a heroine, which culminates in her blasting her demonic dad in the climax of season 4, ending his menace once and for all. | |

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 (2003) / 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. | |

Raven knows full well why Slade has returned, who he's working for, and what his new mark means, but doesn't want her friends to find out that she's destined to destroy the world and so withholds the information as long as she can. 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. | |

Redemption Equals Death | |
| Teen Titans (2003) / int_f1492605 | comment |
Redemption Equals Death: Terra betrays the Titans and tries to kill the team in "Aftershock". At the end of the episode, a combination of Slade's abuse and Beast Boy's compassion convince her to pull a Heel–Face Turn and she turns on her former master, but accidentally triggers a volcanic eruption in the process. As the Titans escape, she stays behind to halt the lava flow, but her effort is such that her powers backfire and transform her into a statue. The final episode suggests she has somehow been brought back to life, but the circumstances of her revival are ambiguous at best. | |

Spider Limbs | |
| Teen Titans (2003) / int_f16787f7 | comment |
Spider Limbs: Gizmo has mechanical spider legs sticking out of his backpack dealy. One-shot villain Fang has a spider for a head. Even though he has normal human legs, he moves around with the arachnid limbs attached to his head, which are far longer than the rest of his body and let him jump much farther. | |

Good Shapeshifting, Evil Shapeshifting | |
| Teen Titans (2003) / int_f4bda58e | comment |
Good Shapeshifting, Evil Shapeshifting: A rare case of this being the same character. Beast Boy's animal transformations are normally painless, smooth, and entirely within his control. But in "The Beast Within", after getting doused with mysterious chemicals, he becomes an increasingly violent jerk and starts eating meat, until a fit of anger triggers a painful, slow, uncontrolled transformation into a werebeast. Downplayed, since Beast Boy never turned evil, just feral. Playyed straight with Adonis, who became a werebeast in a similar way in the same episode and actually was evil, attacking Raven. As a result of being an evil clone created by Trigon, Beast Boy's doppleganger always takes forms coloured pale white with red eyes. For good measure, most of the forms it takes over the course of their Shapeshifter Showdown are predators. | |

Also "Betrayal" (where Slade and Terra take over the tower) and "The End Pt. 1" (where Slade and some fire demons try to take over the Tower, but the attackers never made it inside the Tower), as well as the beginning of the movie (where Saico-Tek is the invader). Brother Blood assaults and takes control of the Titans East tower in the third season finale. | |

Mushroom Samba | |
| Teen Titans (2003) / 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. | |

Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: As confirmed by Word of God, this is a trait Slade has. His inability to comprehend Robin's loyalty towards his team and the lengths he would go to keep his friends safe and his not considering any residual loyalties Terra had towards the Titans led to his defeat twice. Trigon also has this problem. He just can't grasp why Raven will do everything to fight against his agenda. | |

The Dog Bites Back: Slade physically abuses Terra in "Aftershock", after she runs away from a losing battle against the Titans. He then seizes control of her body when she tries to leave him, but she manages to override his influence thanks to Beast Boy's encouragement and viciously attacks him. Consumed by rage, she unleashes the full extent of her powers and accidentally triggers a volcanic eruption. Slade falls in the lava flow and dies, though he returns from the dead in season 4 thanks to Trigon's interference. | |

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. | |

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." | |

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. | |
