** Worse? Titans, classically, are not as powerful as the JLA, but make up for it in teamwork and unshakable loyalty to one another. You hurt one of them, you risk the entire ''past and present'' lineup showing up at your door to make you regret it. The most devastating blow that ever hit them was when Deathstroke hired Terra to infiltrate them, gain their trust, and destroy them from within. And their first leader who set their style? Dick "Nightwing" Grayson. [[spoiler: So you have Dick killed off, which would ''completely'' demoralize them. And you have their ''second'' leader, Victor "Cyborg" Stone signing on with the regime, along with Raven having one of her "daddy's girl" phases. Both would know just where to hit their former friends. Killing off Beast Boy ''really'' couldn't have helped matters, since he can and has talked down both Raven and Cyborg from stupid decisions. And there's no sign of Donna Troy, who is either dead, joining her big sister in the crazy, or otherwise has dim survival odds.]]
** On that front, little wonder Cyborg and Raven were the ones who gladly took on the job of torturing Deathstroke. He was a ''massive'' problem for the Bronze Age Titans, and (as seen above) the people who ''might'' have had a chance of talking them out of torturing a former archenemy aren't in the picture. And for Slade, there's a little nastier irony in that these were his WhiteSheep son's close friends at one time. Good thing Jericho ''isn't'' around in this timeline.

]] It also explains why they went Regime; the Titans have a prodigious death rate. They might be second only to ComicBook/DoomPatrol as far as dying and staying dead. Cyborg and Raven, being long-term team members and close friends to ''most'' of those people memorialized in their hall of statues, probably went over DespairEventHorizon and figured the Regime was better than having to carve one more Titan's statue.
