4Some fanfics are good. Some fanfics are bad. And some fanfics are written so well they are fanfic in name (and copyright law) only. ''Titan Legends'' falls into that category. The plot... is basically taking every stupid, Sueish [[MarySue 'omg my character joins the titans!']] fanfic and doing it right. The characters can drift into Sueishness, but are easily redeemed by good writing and some truly fascinating plot twists. For most this is a truly enjoyable series. And slightly addictive...

6It can be found [[http://www.fanfiction.net/u/65979 here.]]

8The series also includes most of the tropes found in ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans2003'', so this page will mostly consist of ones unique to the original characters or original story lines.
9
10There's also a [[WMG/TitanLegends WMG page]] and an [[Awesome/TitanLegends Awesome page]].
11----
12!!This series provides general examples of:
13%%* AgeAppropriateAngst: Done with most characters at least once.
14* AnachronicOrder : Due to three or more different authors, the troubles that all of them have with updating, and some stories being written before the story they're supposed to be sequels to, the timeline goes all over the place.
15%%* ArchEnemy: More than a few.
16* {{Backstory}}: There's a detailed one for pretty much every character, OC and CC, in the stories, but many have yet to be revealed.
17%%* BigBad: There's always one for each of the stories.
18* CharacterDevelopment: Occurs with some characters, but not all.
19* {{Crossover}}: ''Danny's Inferno'', a crossover with ''WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom''.
20** Also the ''Boogeymen'' series, which is a crossover with just about every significant (and many obscure and forgotten) horror movie and game that exists.
21** And ''Sins of Youth'', a crossover with ''Franchise/TheIncredibles'', though sadly it seems to be DeadFic.
22%%* DarkerAndEdgier: As with the Sueishness, this fanfic actually does it well.
23* DependingOnTheWriter: This usually happens between Legend Maker and Bobcat over Savior and Gauntlet.
24* DeusExMachina: Several, including the literal Personal Deus Ex Machinas, created by a lazy god-being known as Pangloss.
25* DramaticEllipsis: Used mostly by Noel, but also whenever there happens to be a dramatic moment.
26* {{Homage}}/[[TheParody Parody]]: Legend Maker sometimes likes to borrow snippets or segments of other material. The difference is if asked, he will admit that fact up front: as he puts it, he is "passing the words on" to a potentially new audience, and never takes credit for said words, including sometimes in the story itself (see ''Crisis Point'' below). Hence, his borrowing doesn't exactly fit precisely into any of the three categories: it's more of a mix of the three. But as the saying goes "The good borrow from the best, the great steal outright."
27** Plus considering it's a fanfiction world, he's technically stealing 80 percent of his material anyway.
28* LotusEaterMachine: Due to a patchwork completion of various stories up and down the fanon's timeline (see Anachronic Order above), mixed with delays of various sorts, it has been suggested that many of the stories might just be happening in [[spoiler: Noel's head]].
29%%* NoFourthWall: Not for Robert, anyway.
30* NoodleIncident: A few references to adventures not shown on screen. This troper's personal favorite is the imagery brought up by this line.
31-->'''Robin''': Look, those two caught in the mall were just ''very'' dedicated cosplayers, okay?
32* PowersThatBe: Several mythical pantheons, the authors, and God. We're still not sure who controls what, or the various levels of power between them. They don't seem to acknowledge each others' existance, though the authors seem more like reality-warpers than actual gods.
33* RougeAnglesOfSatin: In particular, then/than confusion.
34* RunningGag: Noel and getting thrown through windows. Robert's terrible luck getting a girlfriend. Mortimer the sludge monster showing up and fighting the Titans every time they get a new member (implied, since it's only been shown to happen twice).
35** Three as of Flashing Lights and Sounds, though Nigel's battle with Mortimer was never shown. Also, the entire team preventing themselves from cursing in front of Starfire and her failure at doing it correctly when she does.
36---> Starfire: Oh, trucking skit...
37* ShoutOut: Quite a lot, including some you'd never expect, like Grant Morrison's ''Doom Patrol'' run. The biggest as far as sheer strangeness was when a story actually referenced the infamous exploitation film ''Film/ISpitOnYourGrave''.
38* ThemeNaming: Savior, Gauntlet, and Metatron all have the same middle name: Alexander.
39** It also seems that ALL villains and heroes that introduce themselves MUST have a codename... this includes any possible pairs or groups of heroes/villains when they team up, EVERY time they team up.
40* ThereAreNoTherapists: Subverted, in that there are obviously plenty of therapists, the main characters just have too many secrets or other issues to visit them.
41** Now completely subverted with the appearances by Dr. Sidlakus as a psychiatrist/counselor for a few Titans when they seek him out.
42* TrueCompanions: Very few of the Titans have actual family, and are glad to have their teammates. Of course, since they're teenagers/young adults this doesn't keep some of them from fighting like cats and dogs, but the feeling's there.
43
44!!Specific storywise examples include:
45
46[[foldercontrol]]
47
48[[folder:Black And White]]
49%%* BigBad: The Lord of the Night
50* CatchAFallingStar: Subverted when Noel is thrown through [[SoftGlass Not So Soft Glass]] (and is promptly shredded), and despite Starfire and Raven's attempts to catch him, lands on the T-Car... ''several stories down''.
51** This is the only instance where the SoftGlass trope is subverted. The rest of the fanfics play it straight. Considering it ultimately became a running gag that Noel gets constantly THROWN THROUGH WINDOWS, it's probably best.
52* DayInTheLife: There's one chapter dedicated to this near the beginning.
53* DeathIsDramatic: [[spoiler:The Lord of the Night's]] death.
54** Some have argued that he's NotQuiteDead since [[spoiler:there was no body left behind]], and that HesJustHiding, especially with his appearances in noncanon stories dated ''after'' his death and [[spoiler:he's done this stunt before]].
55%%* EroticDream: Noel has one... which promptly turns into a nightmare when Demon Raven tries to kill him.
56%%* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Noel's [[OperationBlank Operation Market Garden]].
57* GrandRomanticGesture: Done twice by Noel, first by spending hours on a Valentine's Day card for Raven (which gets shot down), then by [[spoiler:[[HeroicSacrifice impaling himself with a sword]] in an effort to peform a spell to save Raven from Trigon]].
58** The second one [[spoiler:[[OfficialCouple works]] and they finally [[FirstKiss kiss]]]].
59%%* HarmlessVillain: The Welder.
60* HeroicSacrifice: In the Trigon arc, it turns out the only way to use a weapon from Etrigan to kill Trigon is to [[SomeoneHasToDie stab it through your heart]]. Noel steps up to the plate when he realizes it's the only way to save Raven. He [[spoiler: [[UnexplainedRecovery gets better]]]].
61* InTheBlood: Raven's powers from her father [[BecauseDestinySaysSo come into play]] in the''Trigon'' arc.
62* JourneyToTheCenterOfTheMind: Raven and Noel do this via Raven's mirror. There's some [[BattleInTheCenterOfTheMind issues]] in both of their minds though.
63* KatanasAreJustBetter: The Lord of the Night, who is never indicated to be Asian or has any affinity for Asian arts, culture, or philosophy, fights with a katana.
64* LastSecondWordSwap: While several male Titans are hanging out, they decide to talk about sex. In order to avoid offending any females that pass by, they switch their words at the exact second they come into hearing range. After a while they realize it's too risky and switch topics.
65** Then Kid Flash screws that up and [[Series/That70sShow bursts out about breasts the size of watermelons]] when Raven comes along.
66* LoveAtFirstSight: Noel gets dumbstruck when he sees Raven... and to keep it from being [[MarySue Sueish]], Raven just keeps shooting him down throughout the entire story.
67** Also lampshaded by Noel when he mentally berates himself for it.
68%%* PsychoForHire: Killjoy.
69%%* PsychoSupporter: Sizzle.
70* SubordinateExcuse: Murdercrow. Though when she finally confesses, [[spoiler:The Lord of the Night rejects her and kills her]].
71* YouAreTooLate: The Titans rush to the top of the T-Tower to stop [[spoiler:The Lord of the Night]] from finishing his evil plot, they banter back and forth, the Titans finally declare they'll stop him... and he reveals he had finished 12 minutes prior to their appearance.
72%%* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: [[spoiler:The Lord killing Murdercrow and Shadowmaster.]]
73[[/folder]]
74
75[[folder:Wings Of The Eagles]]
76* AlternateUniverse: The many seen during ''Time and Time Again''.
77** Heck, due to the nature of the Legendsverse, some fans choose to view it as a really obscure AlternateUniverse of DC Comics as opposed to a fanfic, even if the company (likely) has no idea is exists.
78** They've even noted the numbers for the Legendsverse and it's AU spinoffs.
79* AnachronicOrder: This fanfic is the one with the most confusing timeline; it connects between 2 arcs posted separately and ''The Epic Of Gauntlet''.
80* BedlamHouse: Somewhat averted with Edge City Asylum. There are some genuinely good doctors and orderlies there, concerned with helping the patients. There's also the unfortunately arrogant Doctor Phale and two rather sadistic orderlies. The latter get thrown out after [[spoiler: trying to kill Noel.]]
81%%* BigBad: Though s/he hasn't been revealed yet.
82%%* BittersweetEnding: The ending of the "Eye of the Beholder" arc.
83* CallingTheOldManOut: Noel ''lives'' to do this to Maxwell, and he has good reason to. Unfortunately, when he finally does do it goes... badly.
84%%* CardCarryingVillain: Evil John.
85%%* ChildrenAreInnocent: Subverted by [[spoiler:the Zap Pack]].
86* {{Dedication}}: The ''Eye of the Beholder'' arc was dedicated to one of Legend Maker's undisclosed friends.
87* DrivenToSuicide: Attempted, but failed by [[spoiler:Eyesore]] after [[spoiler:she [[DespairEventHorizon realizes what she's done]]]]. Though the end result is hardly any better.
88* EvilTwin: Christmas is an Evil Savior in one of the AlternateUniverse worlds explored in the ''Time And Time Again'' arc.
89%%* ExecutiveSuiteFight: Noel's showdown against [[spoiler:Maxwell, then the Titans]].
90* GambitRoulette: [[spoiler: Mad Mod's]] INCREDIBLY complicated plan in the ''Youth of the Nation'' arc. It's lampshaded within the plot saying that smart villains hate needless complications and that a brain tumor is destroying his rationality and caused him to think up a plan that's so incredibly convoluted.
91%%* HeroForADay: Andrew Benjamin in the ''H.E.R.O.'' arc gets to do this.
92* HeroicBSOD: After [[spoiler: Slade's plot]] in an arc, [[spoiler:Noel]] suffers a complete mental breakdown and ends up in a lunatic asylum.
93%%* InsaneEqualsViolent: [[SplitPersonality Eyesore]], at least when [[TheOphelia Marissa]] isn't in control.
94* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Noel started out as a relatively decent person: this story is where he started becoming one of these. Specifically after ''The Epic of Gauntlet''.
95%%* KidAppealCharacter: The Zap Pack.
96%%* ManOfWealthAndTaste: Maxwell Collins.
97* MasterOfIllusion: Eyesore has a helmet that not only causes hallucinations, but [[YourMindMakesItReal convinces your brain and body to react accordingly]].
98* MindRape: As literally as possible, except without sex. anyway, Noel does this to [[spoiler: His Father, and Beast Boy]] then Raven does it to [[spoiler: Slade]]
99* MoreThanMindControl: During the [[spoiler: Sins of the Fathers arc]] trickery and manipulation is used to [[spoiler: drive Noel insane and have him turn on the Titans]].
100%%* ANaziByAnyOtherName: The Anglo Saxon Patrol in the "White and Black" arc.
101* NoMedicationForMe: [[spoiler:Noel]] in the ''Model Citizen'' Interlude for ''Wings of the Eagles''.
102* SinsOfOurFathers: The similarly named arc in ''Wings of the Eagles'' centers around [[spoiler:Slade's plot to force Savior to [[InTheBlood kill his his father]] (thus destroying his own life as a hero) as {{Revenge}} for Savior's role in the time muckery of the ''Time and Time Again'' arc, which resulted in the death of his son, Grant Wilson]].
103* TeensAreMonsters: Noel comes across this in the first chapter when he finds 3 very inebriated teenagers trying to light a hobo on fire ''out of boredom''.
104[[/folder]]
105
106[[folder:The Epic Of Gauntlet]]
107%%* ArchEnemy: Peregrine and Gauntlet have this in about as classic a sense as you can get.
108%%* BigBad: Slade
109* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Gauntlet at times, though he did get BoredWithInsanity when he was put in isolation for observation by the Titans and instead began reciting the ''Illiad''.
110* CrazyEnoughToWork: When the Titans need fire to combat Mortimer the sludge creature in ''The Epic of Gauntlet'', Robert solves the problem by having the Titans create a fire tornado... with fire extinguisher fluid.
111-->'''Savior:''' I can't believe that worked. How in the hell did THAT work!?
112-->'''Gauntlet:''' Simple, old bean. The carbon dioxide from the extinguisher, when mixed with the high octane fuel that most men who are 'small' put in their over-compensatory vehicles, done burns good.
113-->'''Savior:''' No! It doesn't! It's a basic fact of chemistry! Carbon Dioxide is the end result of burning! It doesn't burn! That's why it's in ''fire extinguishers.''
114%%* DumbMuscle: Brick. (It's his name for a reason.)
115* GoKartingWithBowser: Gauntlet and pretty much all of his villains (save Kurai).
116* HonorBeforeReason: This is basically Kurai's driving force in life. Anything, apparently up to and including Robert's very existance, can offend his honor.
117%%* JerkAss: Noel started acting this way in this story.
118* LoveAtFirstPunch: Gauntlet develops a crush on Starfire and asks her out... after she beats the crap out of him for sneaking into the T-Tower unannounced.
119* WeirdnessMagnet: The entire city of Uberton is one big one for inexplicable reasons, and living there has turned a good portion of the residents into metahumans.
120[[/folder]]
121
122[[folder:Flashing Lights And Sounds]]
123* AlienBlood: Blacktrinians' blood is essentially [[BloodyMurder liquid ''napalm'']].
124%%* AxCrazy: The White Hole
125%%* BigBad: The Sorceress
126%%* {{Fembot}}: Viridian, though given her appearance some might consider her a RobotGirl.
127* LawOfInverseFertility:
128** First, [[spoiler:Robin finds out Starfire is pregnant, and neither intended for it to happen, Robin ''tries to go back in time'' to prevent the whole thing with the Chronoton Destabilizer]].
129** Then, [[spoiler:once he accepts the prospect of fatherhood, despite whatever damage it may do to their reputation, Starfire gets badly injured by White Hole and the baby is killed]].
130** Finally, [[spoiler:after Robin's been blaming Nigel and trying to hunt him down, Noel finds out that the DNA was incompatible and Starfire would have eventually miscarried ''anyway'']].
131%%* {{Malaproper}}: Nigel.
132%%* MartyrWithoutACause: Nigel. Dear GOD, Nigel. Fortunately, he's getting better.
133* PerkyGoth: Sophie, again. While her clothes are not typically the black spiked wrist bands or the dark hair, she wears funeral suits as casual clothes and has a certain thing for bats. She could also be considered a RavenHairIvorySkin or EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette even though her hair is a medium brown her skin makes it seem darker.
134* PowerParasite: While Sophie is unaware of how her powers work, she does know it has something to do with blood...
135* PrettyBoy: We never really learn the name of one extremely pretty male disciple, so Noel simply dubs him 'Bish' for {{bishonen}}. He's also blonde.
136%%* TenMinuteRetirement: Tim.
137[[/folder]]
138
139[[folder:Boogeymen]]
140%%* ApologeticAttacker: [[spoiler:Noel]] in ''Boogeymen IV: Dolorum Ipsum Quia''.
141* BatmanGambit: Kramer's plot in Boogeymen IV certainly qualified as one.
142** He had a [[IHaveYourWife very convincing reason]] to get [[spoiler:Noel]] to go along with it too.
143** He knew how to pile on the pressure as well.
144** Also, there's a [[TimeBomb Bomb]].
145%%* BigBad: One for each of the stories.
146%%** Boogeymen: Michael Myers.
147%%** Boogeymen II: Samara/Sadako merge. (And the TV.)
148%%** Boogeymen III: Freddy Krueger (so far anyway).
149%%** Boogeymen IV: John Kramer, AKA the Jigsaw Killer.
150* ChekhovsBoomerang: In Boogeymen IV:
151-->'''Billy Recording''': These tests will show just how much you are willing to sacrifice to make it out of here alive. So Titans. Would you sacrifice your blood? A limb? How about a teammate? You'll have to answer for your choices, Titans. Be prepared.
152** It's immediately presented that the Titans had tests to pass... they never thought that the "choices" they'd have to make about teammates could be unrelated.
153** Also, [[spoiler:Noel's jacket]] in Boogeymen IV.
154%%How are these things ChekhovsGun?* ChekhovsGun: Used quite a few times in these stories.
155%%** [[spoiler:The Orb of Archetypal]].
156%%** [[spoiler:Gizmo's Intrinsic Field Remover in Boogeymen II]].
157%%** [[spoiler:The crowbar Flay severed in Boogeymen II]].
158%%** [[spoiler:The empty elevator in Boogeymen IV]].
159%%** [[spoiler:Cyborg's stolen favorite taser]].
160* ChekhovsGunman: In Boogeymen IV, it's [[spoiler:Marissa Mori, who had been written off as dead even though we never actually saw her die]].
161%%* ClosingCredits: Usually the only fanfics to include them.
162* {{Crossover}}: Each Boogeymen story crosses over with at least 1 other movie or video game.
163** Boogeymen: ''Franchise/ANightmareOnElmStreet'' series, ''Franchise/FridayThe13th'' series, ''Franchise/{{Halloween}}'', ''Film/{{Leprechaun}}'', ''Film/{{Candyman}}'', ''Franchise/ChildsPlay'', ''Film/{{Scream}}'', ''Film/JackFrost1997'', and ''Film/IKnowWhatYouDidLastSummer''.
164** Boogeymen II: ''Film/JeepersCreepers'', ''Film/TheRing'', ''{{Film/Ringu}}'', ''Film/SleepawayCamp'', ''Franchise/SilentHill'', ''Film/{{Species}}'', ''Film/TheBurning'', ''Film/SilentNightDeadlyNight'', ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil3Nemesis'', ''Film/{{Phantasm}}'', and ''Film/TheTexasChainsawMassacre'', with ''Franchise/{{Halloween}}'' and ''Franchise/FridayThe13th'' making a return.
165** Boogeymen III: Just about everything, led by Freddy Krueger.
166** Boogeymen IV: The ''Saw'' series.
167%%* DeusExMachina: The usual method of causing the mayhem is the [[PowerNullifier Orb of Archetypal]].
168* DramaticGunCock: In BMIV, [[spoiler:Noel]] does this after deciding to go through with the test and reloading the gun.
169-->'''Tape''': It's time for you to make a choice [[spoiler:Noel]].
170-->'''''(click-clack)'''''
171-->'''Tape''': Live or die by it.
172* ForeignLanguageTitle: ''Dolorum Ipsum Quia'' roughly means "sorrow for its own sake" in Latin.
173* {{Foreshadowing}}: The opening scene of ''Boogeymen IV: Dolorum Ipsum Quia''.
174** Also, the first letters of the chapters in Boogeymen IV spell out "Day of the Dead".
175** Again in Boogeymen IV, Robin notes that "it's always different on the other end" just like he does in every Boogeymen story. [[spoiler:Since we've already had a story with the Titans going through this, there had to be something different... which turned out to be that ''it wasn't at all like the past occurrences'', and instead was The Lord of the Night orchestrating it to ''seem'' like it was]].
176** In Boogeymen IV, Robin keeps bringing up the Japanese association of death with the number 4.
177** Also in Booegymen IV, Beast Boy notes that Kramer isn't against lying in his traps, and even that he does it as a part of a grand scheme, not for petty purposes or just to make things difficult.
178* FourIsDeath: Outright mentioned in ''Boogeymen IV'', and things keep happening in fours throughout the story. Perhaps unsurprisingly, [[spoiler: everyone ends up dead. They get better.]]
179%%* HeroicBSOD: Subverted and lampshaded by Gauntlet in Boogeymen IV.
180* HeroicWillpower: Robin manages to do utilize this when he realizes the "atmosphere" that comes with the events every Halloween is manipulating him into [[spoiler:[[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown trying to kill Noel]]]].
181* HighPressureBlood: Played straight and lampshaded due to the atmosphere, especially in ''Boogeymen IV: Dolorum Ipsum Quia''.
182* HumanShield: Starfire inverts this by [[spoiler:using her own body to block Noel's gun so Robin can get away]].
183* TheInfiltration: Noel goes undercover into the HIVE in ''Boogeymen II: Teenage Wasteland''... and gets sucked into the madness by accident.
184* TheLawOfConservationOfDetail: Used quite thoroughly in Boogeymen IV, which led quite a few to think they were {{Asspull}}s, at least until some of those readers had FridgeBrilliance moments.
185** [[spoiler:In all of the previous stories, whenever the atmosphere is mentioned, it is simply acknowledged as such, ''not'' the "darkness"]].
186*** [[spoiler:A related one is Zia seeing her "final motivation" for surviving her trap in the ''darkness'' of the tar.]]
187** [[spoiler:John's self-awareness is similar to Krueger's in Boogeymen III, since they both know they had been brought to life... but Krueger specifically took the Orb of Archetypal to prevent a reversal, while Kramer did no such thing. If he was aware of what was going on, he'd be aware that the deaths would be reversed, so the traps would be pointless... unless it ''wasn't the atmosphere'']].
188** [[spoiler:All of the Boogeymen stories' chapters spell out a phrase with the first letters, and each of them had 13 chapters, the last being posted on Halloween (Oct. 31). However, Boogeymen IV was explictly said to have only 12 chapters... which spelled out "Day of the Dead" (Nov. 1)]].
189*** It turns out that [[spoiler:there was a surprise ending and chapter 12's ending was a ruse all along]].
190** [[spoiler:If the Titan's powers were blocked by the Orb of Archtypal (like they assumed), then Noel shouldn't have had any painful effects when trying to access the Shimmer simply because it had blocked his powers. His nerve system should be normal, so its response should be just like anyone else's: ''without pain''. The fact that it wasn't pointed to the reality that the Orb of Archetypal was not in play]].
191** [[spoiler:Gauntlet kept bringing up the fact that it was All Saints Day (AKA The Day of the Dead), and ''not'' Halloween, even though all of the previous stories occurred on the night before Halloween (so midnight was Halloween and the night was Mischief Night)]].
192** [[spoiler:The fact that Noel's trap didn't have a tape, which would ''always'' be left in plain view... implying that the tape was somewhere ''else'' so it could easily be found... like ''Noel's jacket'', which he decided to search out of anyone's sight at the very beginning of the story]].
193*** Also, [[spoiler:when Noel gives the jacket to Starfire, he says, "It still has armor. Hopefully enough, if someone decides to shoot through the door or...something." Why would he assume someone would shoot through the door when there's been only bladed weapons so far... unless he's seen (or even ''has'') one?]]
194** This particular subtle example from chapter 4:
195--->"[[spoiler:Noel was no Macgyver, but he and the Titans had received some (and in a few of their cases more then some) training about using their surroundings to their advantage. Surely Jigsaw knew that. ... Well, maybe he hadn't. ... ...because '''if Jigsaw had considered what he was doing...then just what was Savior doing?''' Was EVERYTHING he had picked to do worked out beforehand? Before Savior could work himself into a full-on state of nervous paralysis though, he came to the '''fourth''' door, and carefully began to open it]]."
196* LoveMakesYouEvil: [[spoiler:Savior's]] [[AlwaysSaveTheGirl motive]] for [[SadisticChoice betrayal]] in [[spoiler:''Boogeymen IV: Dolorum Ipsum Quia'']].
197* MassiveMultiplayerCrossover: Specifically ''Boogeymen III'', which features or will feature just about every horror movie character there was, including one scene where the protagonists are attacked by no less then 100 "slashers" from nearly as many movies. You know the drill.
198* NormallyIWouldBeDeadNow: Used several times in ''Boogeymen IV: Dolorum Ipsum Quia''... though the Titans would have probably been better off had it not been.
199* OhNoNotAgain: Done by Noel in ''Boogeymen II: Teenage Wasteland'' when [[spoiler: horror movies are brought to life, and he's stuck in the mayhem again]].
200** Also by [[spoiler:Nightwalker]] in ''Boogeymen III: House of 1000 Cliches'' .
201* PleaseWakeUp: [[spoiler:Noel]] does this to [[spoiler:Raven]] in ''Boogeymen IV: Dolorum Ipsum Quia''.
202* PsychoSupporter: In BMIV, [[spoiler:Marissa]] makes her first appearance as [[spoiler:The Lord's latest follower]]. She still has some [[CreepyMonotone madness]] the readers expected, but [[spoiler: [[SplitPersonality Zia]] made no appearance at the end of the story]].
203* RedHerring: Used in some of the stories.
204** [[spoiler:Nightwalker as a suspect for Noel's identity while he snuck into the HIVE in Boogeymen II]].
205** [[spoiler:The flashlights in Boogeymen IV; anyone looking for a ChekhovsGun would be fooled into thinking they'll have some use and forget about other ones]].
206* ResetButtonEnding: Destroying a core aspect of the evil force that forms the horror movie villains reverses everything they've done, including death.
207** Which is in turn cruelly subverted in ''Boogeymen IV'' [[spoiler: when there is ''no'' reset button, hence forcing Raven to look...[[RageAgainstTheHeavens elsewhere]]...]]
208* RevolversAreJustBetter: Subverted and lampshaded in ''Boogeymen IV: Dolorum Ipsum Quia'' when Gauntlet finds a gun and thinks it's a revolver... then realizes it's a semi-automatic handgun instead.
209* UnstoppableRage: Noel slips into this in ''Boogeymen IV: Dolorum Ipsum Quia'' once [[spoiler:he finds that [[WasItAllALie yes, it was all a lie]]]].
210** Also, [[spoiler:it's subverted when he collapses from all the damage his body's suffered before he get gets near John]].
211* WordSaladTitle: Boogeymen II is named for one of the horror movie titles of a character brought to life in it.
212[[/folder]]
213
214[[folder:Boogeymen Gaiden]]
215* CameBackWrong: This BM differs in that it's the Titans fighting off the Black Lanterns, which are Type 3.
216* {{Doppelganger}}: Gauntlet is off fighting Lanterns out for revenge on his father separately from the Titans with the help of a new masked friend/foe, [[MeaningfulName Cipactli]]. It isn't until the end of the story that he manages to get her real name: [[spoiler:Zia Mori]]
217** To be clear, [[spoiler:at the very same time those two are fighting, ''Marissa'' Mori is present the entire time with the Lord]]. This brings up a lot of EpilepticTrees.
218* EmotionBomb: The Lord's plot hinges on one of these to overload the Lanterns' rings, which could make them vulnerable to attack.
219* EnemyMine: The Titans have to team up with ''quite'' a few enemies of theirs: [[spoiler:The Lord of the Night, Marissa Mori, Elijah Versaw (now Intertia, not Cauterize),Empyrean, and Myth]].
220* HeroicBSOD: [[spoiler: Beast Boy, Cyborg, and Savior]] all do one of these, with the latter being the worst, when they realize that the ones that came back from the dead include [[spoiler:their parents]].
221** Although the villain counterpart is the VillainousBreakdown, [[spoiler:Elijah and Marissa]] both have reactions similar to the heroes rather than going insane.
222* HorrorHunger: While it was first touched on in ''Silent Night'', we get a straightforward confirmation that The Lord ''drains and feeds off darkness in people'', including their emotions.
223** You'd think this wasn't all that bad, since the person would feel relieved afterwards, but he not only pushed the Titans to [[spoiler:utterly slaughter the Lanterns that took on their loved ones' forms after they've been hit by the EmotionBomb]] just to get an extra boost, but he even flaunts doing it to his new and ''willing'' subordinate ([[spoiler:Marissa]]) right in front of Raven.
224* IHaveYouNowMyPretty: Extremely disturbing when done by the resurrected [[spoiler:Mitch Mori]]. Alhough it's likely a ploy by the ring to get as much of a rise out of [[spoiler:Marissa]] as possible before killing her and turning her into one, let's make go over just how [[{{Squick}} freaking disgusting]] it is: [[spoiler:it's the rotted corpse of a father who raped his daughter after her mother's dead and drove her off the deep end into massacring students at her school before offing herself, and it's chasing her down while discussing how much he's going to enjoy doing it ''again'']].
225* MoreThanMindControl: Heavily implied to have been involved with why [[spoiler:Marissa]] works for the Lord willingly, even so far as for her to say she ''knows'' what he's done already. It's unclear if she really knows everything or if he didn't outright MindRape her, particularly when Raven tells Dr. Sidlakus that [[spoiler:''many'' pieces of her mental self were missing, particularly those related to [[SplitPersonality Zia]]]].
226* NamedWeapons: The Lord named not only the weapon he [[spoiler:gave to Nightwalker, previously the Lightscourge, now the Nightscourge]], but also named a shapechanging sword [[MeaningfulName Tezcatlipoca]].

228
229[[folder:Christmas Stories]]
230* AnAssKickingChristmas: ''Adeste Fidelis'' has elements of such, while ''Silent Night'' uses it in both its first and third acts. At least one of the worlds shown in ''It's A Wonderful Life'' (which is being told on Christmas) also features heavy action.
231* BadSanta: In ''Adeste Fidelis'', Santa from ''Film/SantasSlay'' is [[ItMakesSenseInContext brought to life (by accident) and tries to kill the Titans]].
232%%* BigBad: In ''God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen'', it was Leopold Magozzi.
233%%** In ''Silent Night'' it's The Lord again.
234* BilingualBonus: Más Y Menos' lines, which are all in Spanish.
235* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Lampshaded by Gauntlet when Met steals the title from him in ''Silent Night''.
236* CoveredInGunge: Speedy continuously tries to get back at Gauntlet for his pranks in ''Adeste Fidelis'', but gets Savior by accident.
237* DatingCatwoman: [[OppositesAttract Cyborg and Jinx]], in both stories.
238* DrugsAreBad: Mas Y Menos say it outright. Though considering they're battling an out of control villain who's fueled by nanomachine-infested cocaine, it's apt.
239** Strangely, according to Bumblebee this is the only English phrase they know.
240* FlashbackCut: Used whenever one of Cyborgs Specially Modified Cannons is brought up.
241* LetThereBeSnow:
242** Gauntlet and others use the Weather Wizard's wand to cause snow to fall for Christmas in ''God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen''.
243** Done again in ''Adeste Fidelis''.
244** In ''Silent Night'', the Weather Wizard wand zaps a bunch of snow into the Evidence Room when Terra picks it up.
245* MallSanta: Lampshaded when Starfire, who is determined to find the real Santa in all of the Christmas specials, keeps checking all of the Mall Santas in Jump City to see if one's real.
246** Played straight when [[spoiler:Killjoy]] is dressed as a Santa collecting donations at a street corner.
247*** Which in a sense is also a subversion considering [[spoiler: Killjoy is a sociopathic hitman]].
248*** Or maybe not since he only does that when [[spoiler: he shoots a thief who had stolen the pot of donations]].
249* MistakenForCheating: Noel gets roped into taking risque pictures of several Titans for their significant others (since he volunteered to do all the busywork) in ''Adeste Fidelis''. Unfortunately, Raven catches him. ''Twice''.
250** This happens to Noel again in ''Silent Night'' after rumors spread concerning an offhand compliment he gives to Batgirl concerning her skills in martial arts. The rumor spreads quickly and leads to a lot of dumping on Noel by angered allies.
251* SexySantaDress:
252** Used by several Titan females in ''Adeste Fidelis'' (in private of course).
253** Jinx wore one in ''God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen'' too.
254* TakeThat: There's a brief one in ''Silent Night'' against ''Literature/TheTwilightSaga''.
255-->'''Metatron''': Oh god, who wrote your lines, Stephanie Meyers?
256* UnsettlingGenderReveal: [[spoiler: Nightwalker being revealed as a girl in ''Boogeymen II.'']]
257* YetAnotherChristmasCarol: Subverted when Gauntlet leads an attempt to do this to Savior in ''Adeste Fidelis'', but is stopped immediately when the sheet flies off of Terra (who's playing the ghost of Christmas Past). Considering Noel's childhood, maybe it's better that they were stopped.
258[[/folder]]
259
260[[folder:The Cutting Edge]]
261* AloneWithThePsycho: [[spoiler:Detective Chesbro goes to [[SchoolNewspaperNewshound Elijah's]] house to check his suspicions of him while the Titans find a series of connections tying Elijah to all of the victims and involved parties]].
262* AntiVillain: Though Cauterize clearly means well, his actions and methods show that despite the suffering that's been inflicted on him, he's learned the wrong lessons from it. Perhaps most tragic is the fact [[spoiler: though he clearly loathed his abusive stepfather, said abuse has made him into a twisted mirror image of his abusive stepfather.]]
263* AssholeVictim: Mayor Tercero is a corrupt, greedy bastard... and he's the one who called the Titans for help.
264%%* BeleagueredAssistant: Roman Fernandez.
265* BittersweetEnding: Light City is saved, but at what cost? [[spoiler:Then it turns out Elijah isn't dead after all.]]
266* CatchAFallingStar: Cauterize runs up a skyscraper into the air, dragging [[spoiler:Mayor Tercero]], lets him go, and runs back down to watch.
267** Result: [[spoiler:Subverted as the Mayor goes SPLAT.]]
268* DaChief: Garry Turnquist becomes this after his former chief was dealt with by Cauterize.
269* DistractedByTheSexy: During the story, Terra and Beast Boy are awkwardly avoiding each other/trying to get together. Terra does a strut through the main room of the hotel they're staying at while Beast Boy is playing a videogame against Scalpel.
270-->'''Scalpel''': You appear to be losing Gar.
271-->'''Beast Boy''': Yeah.
272-->'''Scalpel''': In fact you just lost, I crossed the finish line.
273-->'''Beast Boy''': Good for you.
274-->'''Scalpel''': I just broke your high score you worked on for three months to achieve.
275-->'''Beast Boy''': Great.
276-->'''Scalpel''': You know, I ate someone today.
277-->'''Beast Boy''': Sounds like fun.
278-->'''Scalpel''': (flicks Beast Boy with his metal fingers)
279-->'''Beast Boy''': OW!
280-->'''Scalpel''': Ah, he lives.
281* EveryoneIsASuspect: Several people are presented as possibly being Cauterize.
282%%* GuiltByCoincidence: [[spoiler: Detective Chesbro and Roman Fernendez.]]
283* TheKillerBecomesTheKilled: [[spoiler:Subverted, since Toby's death was a [[ThePlan ruse to make everyone think Toby had been Cauterize]] and that Cauterize was now dead]].
284* TrickDialogue: Terra overhears Beast Boy screaming at someone that he hates him/her, and assumes it's her (since she's been awkwardly avoiding him while trying to get back together with him)... then realizes he was yelling at himself in the mirror for not just telling Terra he loves her.
285** What makes this funny is that she actually bursts in and yells at him for kissing Kory (which she did to learn English) after he mentioned it in his discussion with himself.
286* TurnInYourBadge: Turnquist does this to Chesbro (to protect him from Pierce) after [[CorruptCorporateExecutive Pierce]] blackmails Turnquist to ensure none of his "business" is uncovered while he's under the Titan's protection.
287%%* SympatheticMurderer: [[VigilanteMan Cauterize]].
288%%* UnwittingPawn: Several; the biggest might be [[spoiler: Toby Garigen]].
289[[/folder]]
290
291[[folder:Crisis Point]]
292* AlternateUniverse: Specifically the alternate near future of an alternate universe in and of itself. Confused yet?
293* AwfulTruth: At one point during the battle, Wonder Woman manages to get her vaunted Lasso of Truth on [[spoiler: The Lord.]] It ends very, [[BerserkButton VERY badly.]]
294%%* BigBad: Alexander Luthor and Superboy-Prime. Later, [[spoiler: The Lord]].
295* BilingualBonus: [[spoiler: The Lord of the Night's]] chat with [[ItMakesSenseInContext a time lost Roman warrior]], which includes several exchanged lines in Latin.
296%%* CrisisCrossover: A re-imagining of one, to be precisely.
297* DependingOnTheWriter: While it started out as a straight re-imagining, later chapters and the story's section on the website comment on DC's editorial decisions since the original miniseries was published.
298* EvilVersusEvil: The [[spoiler: Lord of the Night]] versus Superboy-Prime and Alexander Luthor.
299* PowerLevels: Played straight as minor anti-villain Peregrine has a device later in the story that gives a 'rudimentary combat numerical reading' of various characters AND Lampshaded/Homaged as it leads directly into an [[MemeticMutation 'Over 9000']] joke which several of the background characters openly laugh at.
300* RousingSpeech: When Robin asks Noel to pull one of his motivational speeches out of his ass, Noel gives a speech comparing the Titans' situation of defending Metropolis from an oncoming army of supervillain escapees to the Battle of Thermopylae in 480 BCE.
301** A speech which was shamelessly swiped, and even stated so:
302--->'''Robin:''' Very nice.
303--->'''Savior: '''Don’t thank me, thank Frank Miller. I mostly stole it from him.
304* ShoutOut: A handful throughout the story, but one really sticks out as awesome.
305-->[[spoiler:'''Lord of the Night''']]: I hear them...I hear them...and so... To you, world of mine. From one magnificent bastard's tongue to another. HERE. COME. '''''THE DRUMS!'''''
306[[/folder]]
307
308[[folder:Danny's Inferno]]
309* BackFromTheDead: [[spoiler: Danny, he returns to the living world TWICE! He even had a small talk with DC's version of the Grim Reaper.]]
310%%* BattleAura: A few.
311%%* BigBad: Sizzle/[[spoiler:Flammadea]]
312* CatchAFallingStar: Occurs several times actually.
313** Cyborg gets ejected from a jet, ''and'' his parachute malfunctions... but Raven manages to save him just in the nick of time.
314** Danny and Maddie both fall from a burning helicopter (with said burning helicopter close behind) and nearly get turned into pancakes before Starfire swoops in and saves them.
315** Subverted when Noel is falling from several hundred feet and no one saves him.
316*** He survives of course... after spinning through a flaming ferris wheel and wrapped in a cocoon made from the Shimmer. He's out of commission for a bit though.
317* HeroicRROD: [[spoiler: Danny, who, at the end of his fight against Flammadea, is so worn out that he dies. [[UnexplainedRecovery For a bit]]]]
318* HowMuchMoreCanHeTake: [[spoiler:The DBZ-esque colossal fights between Danny and Sizzle/Flammadea (Especially the final one!)]]
319* JerkAss: Noel decides Danny's JustAKid and even goes so far as to tell him to back off completely and just let the Titans handle it. (Or more specifically, let ''Noel'' handle it.)
320** Luckily, [[ShutUpHannibal Danny puts him in his place]].
321%%* LargeHam: Filled with these, most of them coming from Sizzle[[spoiler:/Flammadea.]]
322%%* NighInvulnerability: [[spoiler:The F.U.M.B.L.E.]]
323%%* PersonOfMassDestruction: Again Sizzle[[spoiler:, and later Danny.]]
324* SecondLawOfMetafictionalThermodynamics: After the first giant fight between Danny/The Titans and Sizzle, pretty much all of Amityville packs up its bags and leaves town [[spoiler: It is suggested this might be a subconscious effect of the deeper powers Danny is suggested to be linked to in the story.]]. End result? The second, final fight pretty much leaves the town a smoking crater. [[spoiler: [[DeusExMachina It gets better.]]]]
325%%* UnstoppableRage: Sizzle[[spoiler:/Flammadea.]]
326[[/folder]]
327
328[[folder:Miscellaneous]]
329* AIIsACrapshoot: [[spoiler: The Zap Pack.]] The villain [[spoiler: built them to act like heroes as closely as possible, while maintaining a master control device to ensure they followed his orders.]] Guess what happened when push came to shove.
330** Also the F.U.M.B.L.E helicopter AI in ''Danny's Inferno'': after suffering more damage than it can handle, the AI shorts out and starts babbling random nonsense and immensely obscure pop-culture references.
331* AlmightyJanitor: Pangloss is, in terms of power, a literal GOD... But he's so lazy that'd he rather live on a couch and watch soap operas as opposed to saving/ruling the world. And he does. Hey, would YOU argue with him?
332* AuthorAvatar: Done literally during the NoFourthWall moments. Legend Maker, the creator of the series, is shown as a pink elf. No, really.
333** Bobcat's avatar is a golden, floating typewriter.
334%%* BizarreAlienBiology: Used quite a lot with Tamaraneans and Blacktrinians.
335%%** Often used for laughs when the Titans are just hanging out in the Tower.
336%%* BluntMetaphorsTrauma: Starfire and Scalpel.
337%%* BrainsAndBrawn: Peregrine and Brick, respectively, in ''The Epic of Gauntlet''.
338%%** Also Myth and Charm, aka Sword and Shield, in ''Flashing Lights and Sounds''.
339%%* DefectorFromDecadence: Sophie, Noel, and Metatron are all this to some extent.
340* EvilPlan: Lots of them.
341** Slade's plot [[spoiler:for revenge against Noel]] in ''Wings of the Eagles''.
342** Cauterize's schemes in Cutting Edge.
343* EvilTwin: Legend Maker, Bobcat, and Jedi-And have all created Evil Twins for their respective original characters (but only Noel's has been revealed: Christmas, in one of ''Time and Time Again's'' alternate universes.)
344* ExiledToTheCouch: In the fanfic ''Hand In Hand'', Noel and Rob get their hands magically glued together. After Robert is incapacitated by Zorkaberries, Noel and Raven decide to be a little daring... and much to their horror, find that [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments Rob has woken up and is taking notes]]. Noel and Rob are promptly exiled from Raven's room. Note: Noel is ''still naked'' when she does this.
345* FatalFlaw: One for every character usually. Some notable ones below.
346** Robin: Pride. It becomes a major factor in ''Flashing Lights and Sounds''.
347** Savior: The shimmer's weakness to blades or anything similarly sharp.
348** Scalpel: His race has evolved to be ''terrified'' of swimming, and they are especially susceptible to damage from guns.
349*** Also the White Hole.
350** The Lord of the Night's vampire-esque weakness to sunlight.
351%%* FieryRedhead: Scorcher.
352* FirstNameBasis: Subverted by Noel a ''lot''. He constantly reminds his teammates not to use his real name in the field.
353** Of course, even if they did say his name, he looks completely different since gaining his powers, so anything he's trying to hide would be lost with that anyway.
354** Then again, [[spoiler:Slade did use that to his advantage when he found out]].
355* FreudianExcuse: Used for most villains.
356** Lord of the Night: Indicated he suffered horrific torture (it was so bad, he repressed it so deep that, while he could find out just what happened, he refuses to: he doesn't ''want'' to know).
357*** The Lord's abuse was so bad that he actually manages to ''weaponize'' it as a thought bomb [[spoiler: in his fight against Superman in ''Crisis Point''.]]
358** Sizzle: ''Did'' suffer horrific torture, particularly of the sexual variety.
359** Eyesore: See above.
360** Jackal: Was apparently abandoned by his parents and had a terrible life afterward: not many details were provided.
361* GenerationXerox: Subverted. ''Here Comes Tomorrow'' and some parts of ''Time and Time Again'' and ''Crisis Point'' do show the next generation, however some are completely unrelated to the Titans and those who ''are'' have their own personalities and issues.
362%%* GenkiGirl: Zippy, somewhat justified due to her lightning powers.
363* AGodAmI: The aptly-named Lord of the Night, as well as [[spoiler:Sizzle/Flammadea in Danny’s Inferno, and also Danny when he briefly becomes The Primmortal]]...but also subverted with...
364* GoodScarsEvilScars: The Lord of the Night's [[spoiler:horribly burned and shredded face]] is a clear indication that he is ''not'' good. On the other hand, [[spoiler:Nigel and Noel have easily-concealed scars on their chests from being run through with swords in the name of justice.]]
365%%* GrudgingThankYou: Whenever Noel has to thank Robert. Or compliment him.
366%%** Also Noel with Danny at the end of ''Danny's Inferno.''
367* HalfHumanHybrid: Raven is a human/demon hybrid. [[spoiler:Mary]] is half-Blacktrinian.
368* HobbesWasRight: The Lord's personal bible, mixed in with NietzscheWannabe and PutThemAllOutOfMyMisery.
369* KindheartedCatLover: The Lord, who has a hidden room of kittens in ''Boogeymen III'' and a small black cat he defends from the Black Lanterns in ''Boogeymen Gaiden'' (said cat also appears in ''Hearts of Darkness.'')
370* LoveMartyr:
371%%** Poor [[spoiler: Murdercrow]].
372** Various other characters have their moments of this, including Noel challenging a demon lord for a chance to date Raven, or Starfire [[spoiler: purposefully getting herself shot]] in ''Boogeymen IV: Ipsum Dolorum Quia''.
373** From what we've seen of her, Empyrean also appears to be one. LoveMakesYouCrazy, indeed.
374* MamaBear:
375** Starfire's teammates are her family. You do NOT mess with a Tameranian's family.
376** Also, Scorcher for the Elementals, who not only sees one of her teammates as a surrogate daughter, but is working for the HIVE solely to [[spoiler: bring back her dead boyfriend]].
377%%* ManipulativeBastard: Slade pulls this off several times against most of the OC's.
378* MeaningfulTitles: ''The Lord'' of the Night. Who claims to be ''a god''. Who ''learns to create life'' in one of the AU's in ''Time and Time Again''. The blasphemy is hard to ignore.
379* MoralityChain: Played with a bit. Crystal Collins is arguably one as she kept Noel from being corrupted by his father, but it is her ''death'' that ultimately causes him to become a hero.
380* MotiveRant: Done rather ruthlessly (and tragically) by Eyesore first to one of her teachers then again in a later chapter to a mob outside the school [[spoiler: after she's forced several dozen students and administrators to kill themselves]] in ''Wings of the Eagles''. The end of her rant is just below.
381-->'''Eyesore''': YOU DID NOTHING! YOU ALL KNEW AND YOU DID NOTHING! You just stood by and watched! None of you wanting to get involved! None of you wanting the trouble that would result when the rotten wound was laid bare! You just stood by and watched! And your pity was bad enough, BUT YOU DIDN'T STOP THERE! Eventually, you stopped feeling sorry and you...you dared...YOU LOOKED AT ME LIKE I WAS SOME KIND OF ABOMINATION! LIKE WHAT WAS BEING INFLICTED ON ME WAS SOMEHOW A CHOICE OF MINE, WORTHY OF SCORN, WORTHY OF DISGUST! IT WAS BAD ENOUGH WHEN YOU LOOKED UPON ME AS A VICTIM, BUT THEN YOU STARTED LOOKING AT ME LIKE I WAS SOME MUTATION YOU WANTED OUT OF YOUR PRETTY LITTLE WORLDS! SUCH AN UGLY THING HAPPENING TO ME, AND YOU LOOK AT ME LIKE ''I'M THE UGLY ONE''!''
382** Cauterize aka [[spoiler: Elijah Versaw]] also gives a ''very'' lengthy one when he's uncovered at the end of ''Cutting Edge''.
383* MusicalEpisode: Legend Maker makes a 6 part musical as a ParodyEpisode of the ''Buffy'' episode ''One More, With Feeling''.
384* NietzscheWannabe: Played straight with the Lord of the Night, who (like Nietszche) is more pessimistic than nihilistic, and thinks he has the answer to making the world better.
385** The WellIntentionedExtremist part of him decides it's by ''killing all of the "useless" people'', hence the "wannabe" part.
386** Also a possible {{Ubermensch}}, since he realizes no one else thinks his method is the solution.
387* NotHimself: Done by Noel several times, most notably in ''Black and White'' when [[spoiler:he is suspected of strangling women due to his initial rejection by Raven]].
388** Also by Robin in the ''9:45 a.m.'' arc in ''Flashing Lights and Sounds''.
389* PersonOfMassDestruction: Several. Main OC villain The Lord is the one mostly used: his second appearance, as mentioned above, has him casting an ancient magical spell that turns him into a 'god of shadows' whose very loosely-defined powers let him raze half of Jump City to the ground and, in a fight in the Sahara Desert, ''briefly'' summon a black hole that burns a hundred mile crater of glass in the landscape. [[spoiler: And then with Crisis Point, he's able to go toe to toe with PhysicalGod villain Superboy-Prime and ''win'', and then, albeit with a Deus Ex Machina or two, kill his way across half of DC's 'lesser-knowns' and battle Superman and several other equally powered characters to a standstill.]] There's also ''Danny's Inferno's'' [[spoiler: Sizzle/Flammadea, who uses her own magic spell to absorb the souls of every woman in a hundred mile radius and turn herself into a literal fire goddess: she succeeded in doing the Lord one better and COMPLETELY razing a city, not to mention was stated to potentially have the power to 'blow most of the Eastern Seaboard off the map.']]
390** Raven as well, sometimes. The holiday story ''Twilight's Last Gleaning'' has her going toe to toe with a [[EldritchAbomination ancient god of destruction.]] End result? [[spoiler: After said god seemingly smacks her around with ease, Raven throws open the throttle and kicks it's ass.]]
391%%* PluckyComicRelief: Gauntlet and Beast Boy.
392* ProudWarriorRaceGuy: Nigel is probably the only Blacktrinian who ISN'T one of these. Kurai also fits the personality, though the rest of his family appears more sane.
393* TheReveal: The ending of the [[spoiler: Zap Pack arc of ''Wings of the Eagles'']]. Also Cauterize’s identity in Cutting Edge.
394* SesquipedalianLoquaciousness: Noel at times, but not usually.
395%%** Also Beaker of the future Titans.
396** Sometimes Starfire as well, played for comedy: her 'inexperienced mastery' of English is sometimes represented by her replacing common words with incredibly obscure synonyms.
397* {{Smurfing}}: Used as a censor in ''Villain Cafe'' (a noncanon humor story) for a while.
398** Also lampshaded by the Lord of the Night, the owner of the cafe, who then changes the censor to nonsense words.
399--->'''Sizzle:''' YOU [[spoiler: KILLED US]] YOU SMURF'N SMURF SMURF!
400--->'''Lord of the Night:''' You know that smurf thing has run its course. Changing the censors. (snaps his fingers) Anyway, yes?
401--->'''Sizzle:''' You made us all kinds of promises! And then you [[spoiler: leave us to rot]]! Fuchu! You sock-sucking son of a witch!
402* SoundEffectBleep: In ''Adeste Fidelis'', all curses are censored with BLEEP.
403** Also subverted in ''Boogeymen III: House of 1000 Cliches''.
404--->'''Handyman:''' THEN WHERE THE HELL DID YOU GET THAT !$#$#$! HUMAN SKIN?
405--->'''White Hole:''' From the body I would be continuing to do unpleasant by most terms things if that guy hadn't fallen over and started shooting at me... wait, why was THAT curse censored? Asshole. Fuck. Shit. Cocksucker. Okay really, why did that happen?
406* TalkingToThemself: Done by Eyesore, first in ''Wings of the Eagles'' for dramatic effect, then in ''Villain Cafe'' for laughs.
407* WhatIsEvil: Done by the Lord of the Night to the Titans in ''Black and White'', as well as Alexander Luthor in Crisis Point.
408* WhatTheHellHero: Noel's sudden freak out at the beginning of ''Wings of the Eagles''.
409** Actually used to get him [[spoiler: momentarily away from the team, since ''Wings of the Eagles'' is focused on the other Titans]].
410** Noel gets called on his treatment of Sam and Danny in Danny's Inferno.
411%%** And AGAIN with Noel in [[spoiler: Boogeymen IV]]. Noel's that kind of person.
412%%** Who called who out?
413* WhiteHairBlackHeart: Played with with Noel, who actually has pure white hair, in that he is annoyingly cunning, but also one of the heroes of the series. Playing straight with his father, Maxwell, who has silver hair.
414** Alexander Luthor's plans in Crisis Point, though 1) It borders, if not crosses into GambitRoulette, and 2) It was actually conceived of by DC Comics itself. More benefiting the entry might be [[spoiler: The Lord utilizing said plans to launch a plan of his own and try and wrest victory away from Luthor and for himself.]]
415** The Lord's plan in ''Silent Night'', a complicated interlocking series of events and deeds which were essentially done so the Lord could [[spoiler: gather intel for ''FUTURE'' plans]]. Considering how effectively he modified it to counter for all the Titans' unexpected guests, it could also count as XanatosSpeedChess.
