* ShadowArchetype: To the New 52 Nikos Aegeus, another super powered problem "child" to the long lived Diana, whom Diana spares the life in belief he can be reformed. While attempting to reform Donna causes her to want to kill herself it's his own sense of self preservation that helps make Nikos's redemption possible. While Donna is quicker to see the truth in Diana's words than Nikos is, she also has a much harder time sticking to them than he does once he sees the error of his ways, and while Nikos was resentful of Diana before reforming, Donnna becomes more so after trying and failing. This leads to Nikos almost killing Donna while trying to protect Diana from her, almost causing Diana to lose her patience.

* CosmicRetcon: ''Crisis On Infinite Earths'' was supposed to reset the entire DC Comics multiverse, but certain books were so popular that their creative teams were "spared" this reboot and allowed to continue on like nothing happened. One of those books was ''Teen Titans'', which caused problems when Wonder Woman was changed from a World War II veteran who had lived for thousands of years, to a naive rookie to man's world who couldn't even speak any modern languages yet. This put a PlotHole around Donna Troy too deep to ignore, since it made Wonder Woman saving her from a fire, trying and failing to find her an adoptive family in the US and taking her back to Paradise Island, which wasn't even called that anymore, impossible.

Meanwhile, when Bombshell, a former Titan who freely chose to betray and subsequently attempted to kill the Titans, asked to be let back on the team, she gets a second chance from Wonder Girl and the other Titans. As Rose points out, it's telling that she let someone who betrayed the Titans out of their own free will back on the team, something even Bombshell acknowledges, while denying her, who only betrayed the team due to her free will being taked away, a second chance, too.
