History Fanon / TeenTitans

* It's explained in the comics that Tameranians can learn languages through any sort of skinship contact, but that Starfire just prefers kissing. The cartoon seems to have kissing as the only way, however, some still think of the comic version as canon in order to explain [[AliensSpeakingEnglish why every Tamaranian but Starfire speaks English]].

** Starfire's starbolts and energy projection are the result of experiments done on her by the Gordonians. This comes from the comics, but due to changes in her backstory, it's unknown if it also applies to the cartoon or if she naturally has those powers.

** Starfire's RapeAsBackstory from the comics was removed in the cartoon. Despite this, it commonly appears in fanworks that go into her past. She's also frequently depicted as a slave, however in the canon of the cartoons it's shown that she escaped captivity in route to that destination.
** Works set after TheMovie have Starfire on a FirstNameBasis with Robin (often with her calling him "Richard" instead of the diminutive "Dick"). Robin in turn calls her "Kori/Kory" (a shortening of her non-translated name, "Koriand'r").

** Raven can't smile, and in some case, show ''any'' emotion except for the aforementioned temper without her powers going out of control. While she was TheStoic in the original comics, in the cartoon she shows a good range of emotion, with the issue instead being ''excessive'' displays of emotion, or trying to repress her emotions entirely. Basically, if she's just smiling or laughing (which she has done numerous times) without throwing in some jumping for joy, she won't be blowing things up by accident any time soon.

** Due to the prevalence of the DangerousSixteenthBirthday trope, fan theory assume that Raven was fifteen at the start of the series and turned sixteen in her BirthdayEpisode. Generally she is 16-18 by the last season.

* The reason why Blackfire speaks English so fluently is because she's kissed more English-speakers than Starfire.
* Beast Boy and Starfire are the {{Token Religious Teammate}}s on the team, with Beast Boy being Christian and Starfire worshipping X'hal. Robin is usually pinned as an atheist.

* Jinx is Indian. This is because she's an Indian woman in the original comics.

** Robin and Starfire will end up married. They also have a daughter named "Mar'i Grayson". This is due to them having Mar'i in ''ComicBook/KingdomCome''. Sometimes they also have a son named "Jacob Grayson" (or "Jake" for short), which comes from ''Nightwing: the New Order''.

* The girl in "Things Change" is named Tara, which is Terra's real name. Whether fans believe she's Terra with amnesia, Terra faking amnesia, Terra's clone, Terra's twin, or whatever, she's usually referred to as "Tara".

** A lot of fanfiction has Starfire referring to all her friends as "Friend *insert name here*" despite there never being evidence of her doing this in the show.
** Starfire's starbolts and energy projection are the result of experiments done on her by the Gordonians. This comes from the comics, but due to changes in her backstory it's unknown if it also applies to the cartoon or if she naturally has those powers.

** Starfire's RapeAsBackstory from the comics was removed in the cartoon. Despite this, it commonly appears in fanworks that go into her past. She's also frequently depicted as a slave, however in the canon of the cartoons it's shown that she escaped beforehand.

* The fandom agrees that Jump City - where the show is set - is in California. This was semi-confirmed in a promo video which advertised the third season and made the rounds at conventions in 2004. It previewed the "Titans East" storyline by showing a map of the US with the location of each team highlighted. The main team was clearly located in California, while the East team appeared to be in New York. The map never showed up on the show itself, though.

** Raven can't smile for fear of her powers (even though she does so, while not all the time, fairly often in the show), that she can't show ''any'' emotion except for the aforementioned temper without her powers exploding (especially not true, as what makes her powers go out of control in the show is either an excessive amount or ''denial'' of her emotions, not showing them in general and, again, she shows a good range of emotion on the show).

** Raven is associated with a whole plethora of cliche {{Goth}} tropes are all taken as fact by the fanbase or fanfic writers despite no real proof from the show itself.
** The Movie ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitansTroubleInTokyo'' had the fans assuming Raven was so violent toward Beast Boy because she was in her period.

** Due to a misunderstanding from the comics, many fans believe that Raven's "real name" is Rachel Roth. Her name ''is'' Raven, [[OnlyOneName just "Raven"]]. "Rachel" is a made-up name she uses as a civilian. Her mother's surname is "Roth", but Raven rarely uses it.
* Fans almost always write Bumblebee as having feelings for Cyborg and Beast Boy secretly liking Raven (or the other way around if the writer ships Beast Boy and Terra). WordOfGod is that both relationships are platonic in canon, though the Pre-Flashpoint Titans comic books and the ''Teen Titans Go!'' cartoon have embraced the idea of Beast Boy and Raven having a thing for one another.
* It is very common for the fans to assume that ''Teen Titans'' is part of the Franchise/DCAnimatedUniverse and, as a result, it is quite common for ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague'' characters such as Batman, Superman and their RoguesGallery to make an appearance. However, aside from hints of Batman, there is absolutely no evidence that the other Justice League characters even exist within the story and Robin's character is in complete contrast to his DCAU persona (many of these fans also mistake Robin for the second DCAU Robin, however ''Teen Titan'' Robin stars Dick Grayson, not Tim Drake like ''The New Batman Adventures'').

* HandicappedBadass Blackfire appears often in fanworks that deal with her. This is due to the fact she has a FictionalDisability in the comics--she can't fly like others of her kind can. To give Blackfire more depth and to give her a FreudianExcuse, fanon has her being [[BullyingTheDisabled ostracized and belittled due to her disability]], which caused her to revolt and become villainous.

** Raven was ready to [[DrivenToSuicide kill herself]] in order to [[spoiler:stop Trigon from using her as a portal]].

** Starfire's naivety often gets {{flanderiz|ation}}ed in fan-works.

** Due to the prevalence of the DangerousSixteenthBirthday trope, fan theory assume that Raven was fifteen at the start of the series and turned sixteen in her BirthdayEpisode but generally she is 16-18.

If Raven calls characters by their names she always uses their full names ("Richard" not "Dick", "Garfield" not "Gar", "Victor" not "Vic"), which is taken from the original comics.

* Robin and Starfire will end up married. They also have a daughter named "Mar'i Grayson". This is due to them having Mar'i in ''ComicBook/KingdomCome''

* Cyborg is eighteen, thus explaining why the Titans need no adult supervision (since at least one of them is legally an adult). This is AscendedFanon in ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitansGo''.
