| 14 | !!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/TKeyahCrystalKeymah [[labelnote:Other voice actors]]Creator/HanaTakeda (Japanese), Yensi Rivero (Latin American Spanish), Deborah Ciccorelli (IT), Vanina Pradier (FR), Fernanda Crispim (PT-BR)[[/labelnote]] |
| 15 | !!!'''Powers/Abilities:''' Flight, shrinking/growth (though apparently no bigger than her normal human size), electricity-producing "stingers" |
| 16 | [[quoteright:169:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/polls_ibumblebee04_fs_5928_704623_answer_10_xlarge_2003.jpeg]] |
| 17 | |
| 18 | A metahuman with insect-like wings capable of flight and the ability to shrink to a miniature size, Bumblebee also uses a pair of hand-held electric dart-guns as "stingers." Initially met Cyborg as part of Brother Blood's HIVE Academy, she joins him in taking it down, claiming that, despite appearances, she wasn't totally brainwashed by him and had, in fact, been planning on taking the crime-school down from the inside. She later becomes TheLeader of Titans East. |
| 19 | ---- |
| 20 | * ActionGirl: Next to Starfire and Raven, she also has some impressive feats, like defeating Cyborg. |
| 21 | * AdaptationalDyeJob: Bumbleebee is usually depicted having reddish chestnut hair. Here she is a BrainyBrunette. |
| 22 | * AdaptationalSuperpowerChange: In the comics, her suit was originally just PoweredArmor that let her fly and blast people. Here, her powers are part of her and include shrinking. |
| 23 | * AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul: She was Herald's girlfriend and later wife in the original comics. In this show, they never interact. |
| 24 | * AlwaysSomeoneBetter: Smugly notes how she handily dealt with Cyborg in their first encounter. |
| 25 | * AnimalThemedSuperbeing: A bee themed superhero. |
| 26 | * BareMidriffsAreFeminine: Her outfit in all her appearances bares her stomach, similar to Starfire. She is also the only female member of her team, while all the male members wear non-skin revealing hero gears. |
| 27 | * BelligerentSexualTension: She and Cyborg bicker rather openly at first, even after she reveals herself as TheMole. |
| 28 | * CharlesAtlasSuperpower: Despite her slender frame, she can punch and kick through solid concrete and send Cyborg flying, which has nothing to do with her shrinking powers. |
| 29 | * {{Expy}}: She has more in common with ComicBook/TheWasp (shrinking, biological wings, electric "stingers") than her actual comic book counterpart. |
| 30 | * CombatStilettos: Fights in black heels with deadly effectiveness. |
| 31 | * ElectricBlackGuy: Bumblebee is an African-American teen girl who uses a pair of stingers that blast electricity at the targets. |
| 32 | * {{Flight}}: With the help of her bee wings. |
| 33 | * FourTemperamentEnsemble: With the rest of the Titans East, she's the Melancholic. |
| 34 | * GeniusBruiser: She's considerably skilled in combat to the point she can fight Brother Blood by herself and definitely adept at building and understanding technology, having built the second H.I.V.E. academy base. |
| 35 | * HellBentForLeather: The highlights of her pants indicate she is wearing a leather hero costume. |
| 36 | * HeroicWillpower: The reason she's resistant (not immune, but resistant) to Brother Blood's mind control is simple heroic resistance. |
| 37 | * TheKirk: She's a no-nonsense, logical leader. |
| 38 | * TheLeader: Of Titans East on recommendation from Cyborg. |
| 39 | * MsFanservice: Bumblebee is thin and well-endowed like Starfire and Raven, and wears a form-fitting superhero costume which shows her midriff. |
| 40 | * PintSizedPowerhouse: She can shrink to the size of a bee and maintain all of her strength, meaning she can send people flying while she's buzzing around them, with or without her stingers. |
| 41 | * TheMole: She's introduced by infiltrating the HIVE academy to investigate Brother Blood. |
| 42 | * SassyBlackWoman: "There's not a man alive who can tell me what to do." |
| 43 | * SizeShifter: Between her default human size and a much smaller insect one. |
| 44 | * SlobsVersusSnobs: Bee is rather persnickety, which causes a great deal of tension when she moves into a tower with four boys who are all varying degrees of gross. |
| 45 | * TheSmurfettePrinciple: The only girl in Titans East, which she seems to resent. |
| 46 | * SuperStrength: She can kick quite well, even someone like Cyborg. During their fight, she was capable to break the floor with her kicks, and her power was even more obvious in her shrank form, as she was capable to punch Cyborg so hard it sent him flying. |
| 47 | * TallDarkAndSnarky: She's stern, tall, and snarks like there's no tomorrow. |
| 48 | * TeamMom: The way she interacts with her teammates makes her come off as being like a concerned mother. Being the official leader helps this perception. |
| 49 | * TokenFlyer: She is the only East Titan who can fly. |
| 50 | * TwoferTokenMinority: Bumblebee is the only East Titan who is black and female. All the others, with Speedy and Aqualad being white, and Más y Menos being Guatemalan. |
| 51 | * WomenAreWiser |

| 54 | [[folder:Aqualad]] |
| 55 | !!Aqualad / Garth ta'ldyl |
| 56 | !!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/WilWheaton [[labelnote:Other voice actors]]Alfonso Soto (Latin American Spanish), Creator/DamienBoisseau (FR), Sérgio Cantú (PT-BR)[[/labelnote]] |
| 57 | !!!'''Powers/Abilities:''' Water breathing, telepathy with sea animals, aquakinesis, superhumanly skilled swimmer |
| 58 | [[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/titansdream07_9957.jpg]] |
| 59 | |
| 60 | A denizen of Atlantis, Aqualad's relation (if any) to Aquaman is never mentioned in the series. He's able to breathe underwater, communicate telepathically with sea creatures, and a potent aquakinetic. He initially operates as a solo hero, but later becomes a member of Titans East. |
| 61 | ---- |
| 62 | * TheAce: In his intro episode he's a one person team that girls swoon over (including Starfire and Raven). He's less so afterwards, possibly because he had trouble adjusting to a team. |
| 63 | * AdaptationalBadass: Though comic book Aqualad eventually TookALevelInBadass as Tempest, he started out as one of the weakest members of the Teen Titans and couldn't even survive outside the water for more than a limited amount of time. This incarnation has no problem living on the surface, is gifted with powerful hydrokinesis, and was introduced as TheAce. |
| 64 | * AdaptationalHairstyleChange: His hair is longer than it was in the comics. |
| 65 | * AdaptationalLateAppearance: He was a founding member of the Titans in the original comics, but in this continuity makes his debut in "Deep Six", the eighth episode of the first season. |
| 66 | * AdaptationalModesty: His costume here covers his body completely, when his original Aqualad costume left his legs bare. |
| 67 | * AdaptationalDyeJob: As opposed to his purple-eyed comic counterpart, he has white pupils, each surrounded by a black iris and sclera. |
| 68 | * AlwaysSomeoneBetter: He was this to Beast Boy in his first episode. Beast Boy was so excited that the team was going on their first undersea adventure because he figured that with his ability to turn into any aquatic animal, he'd be the most important hero on this adventure. Then Aqualad shows up and completely upstages him without even attempting to. |
| 69 | * CaptainFishman: He's the only Titan, both in the original team and the East team, who's powers are entirely sea-based. |
| 70 | * ChickMagnet: His intro episode has both Starfire and Raven swooning over him. |
| 71 | * DoesNotLikeSpam: He refuses to eat seafood, since he comes from the sea, and is incensed when Speedy buys fish tacos. |
| 72 | -->'''Aqualad''': I'm from the ocean! These were probably ''friends'' of mine!\ |
| 73 | '''Speedy''': You said get lunch, I got lunch. Chow down! |
| 74 | * FloatingWater: As an extension of aquakinesis, he can also do this. |
| 75 | * FourTemperamentEnsemble: With the rest of the Titans East, he's the Phlegmatic. |
| 76 | * MakingASplash: Atlantian water manipulation. |
| 77 | * MonochromaticEyes: He stands out in terms of character design, since his eyes are purely black with no sign of pupils. |
| 78 | * MrFanservice: Even a pre-defrostation Raven couldn't help but notice how handsome he is. |
| 79 | * OurMermaidsAreDifferent: No tail for one thing. |
| 80 | * PrettyBoy: [[InstantFanClub Every girl around him faints]], ''[[OutOfCharacterMoment even Raven]]''. |
| 81 | * TheSmartGuy: He serves as the brains for Titans East. |
| 82 | * TheSpock |
| 83 | * TallDarkAndHandsome: The girls instantly fall for his dashing good looks. |
| 84 | * {{Telepathy}}: With fish. It comes in handy. |
| 85 | * YouDontLookLikeYou: His outfit and hair are very different from Garth's in the comics. |

| 89 | !!Speedy / Roy Harper |
| 90 | !!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/MikeErwin [[labelnote:Other voice actors]]Jesús Nunes (Latin American Spanish), George Castiglia (IT), Charles Pestel (FR), Reynaldo Buzzoni (PT-BR)[[/labelnote]] |
| 91 | !!!'''Powers/Abilities:''' BadassNormal specialized as an Archer with normal and "trick" arrows |
| 92 | [[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/speedytransparent.png]] |
| 93 | |
| 94 | Similarly to Robin, Speedy is a former [[ComicBook/GreenArrow "costumed hero"]] sidekick who has since decided to make it on his own, only to become involved with a Teen Titans team. |
| 95 | ---- |
| 96 | * AdaptationalLateAppearance: He was part of the original roster of the Teen Titans in the comics, but in this continuity first appears in the season two episode "Winner Take All". |
| 97 | * AloofArcher: Initially he fit the cool and stoic template because he was copied off Robin. Then he became, for lack of a better word, grungier. |
| 98 | * BlankWhiteEyes: He wears a mask similar to Robin's. |
| 99 | * BottomlessMagazines: His quiver never runs out of arrows. |
| 100 | * CatUpATree: Saves one during "For Real" for the "slow day of heroism" angle. |
| 101 | * DivergentCharacterEvolution: In "Winner Take All," he was Robin 2.0. In later appearances, he's more of a "bad boy" to better serve as a {{Foil}} to Bumblebee. |
| 102 | * ExpressiveMask: Like Robin, he never takes his mask off so it has to be expressive. |
| 103 | * FourTemperamentEnsemble: With the rest of the Titans East, he's the Choleric. |
| 104 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Often grouchy and rather abrasive, especially in comparison to Bumblebee and Aqualad, but he does the right thing when it counts. |
| 105 | * TheLancer: As stated above, he's a 'bad boy' to contrast the 'by the book' leadership of Bumblebee. |
| 106 | %%* TheMcCoy |
| 107 | * MeaningfulAppearance: He wears fingerless gloves, partially to serve as an arm protector (he is an archer after all) and partially because they look cool. |
| 108 | * MirrorSelf: To Robin, who Beast Boy and Cyborg think of as his clone. |
| 109 | * RainOfArrows: He has the weapon feat "Many shot". |
| 110 | * TechnoBabble: Briefly with Robin during their first meeting regarding high tech arrow technology. It quickly became literal babble to the other titans. |
| 111 | * TrickArrow: Where Robin uses batarangs for specialized effects, Speedy uses arrows. |

| 116 | !!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/FreddyRodriguez [[labelnote:Other voice actors]]Mariela Díaz (Latin American Spanish), Creator/EmmanuelGarijo (FR), Duda Espinoza (PT-BR)[[/labelnote]] |

| 119 | [[caption-width-right:300:¡Más y Menos, sí podemos!]] |
| 120 | |
| 121 | Young Guatemalan twins who speak only Spanish, these meta-humans have the ability of super-speed, but only while physically touching each other. They are recruited to be part of Titans East, but no other background is given. |
| 122 | ---- |
| 123 | * BadassAdorable: They're maybe three feet tall each, only speak Spanish, and are fully capable of beating up bad guys when together. |
| 124 | * BilingualDialogue: The twins understand English perfectly, but only ever speak Spanish. Strangely, as they rarely attempt to initate conversation, it's not clear who understands them, even on their own team. |
| 125 | * {{The Big Guy}}s: Ironic considering they're so tiny but their speed lets them build up momentum to pack a serious punch. |
| 126 | * CanonImmigrant: They were original characters for the TV show who have since made appearances in the comics, established in the "Titans Around the World" arc of Creator/GeoffJohns' ''Teen Titans'' run as two of several Titans who joined and left the team during the ''ComicBook/OneYearLater'' storyline. |
| 127 | * DoggedNiceGuy: Played for laughs. They've been assiduously courting Starfire since the moment they first saw her. RuleOfFunny dictates that they be jealous of each other, of course. |
| 128 | * ForeignCurseWord: One of their rants in Spanish includes the word "jodiendo", a vulgar word equivalent to "fucking (up/over)". For obvious reasons, this was censored in the Venezuelan Spanish dub. |
| 129 | * FourTemperamentEnsemble: With the rest of the Titans East, they're the Sanguine. |
| 130 | * FragileSpeedster: Their speed is their advantage. Once tagged they are less threatening. |
| 131 | * FunnyForeigner: The fact that they only speak Spanish is the subject of much humor. |
| 132 | * IdenticalTwinIDTag: Más has a full row of front teeth and a plus sign on his costume, while Menos has a ChildishToothGap and a minus sign on his costume. |
| 133 | * LogicalWeakness: Their powers work when they touch hands. Therefore, separating them is the easiest way to disable or defeat them. |
| 134 | * {{Meaningful Name}}s: "Más y Menos" means "plus and minus" in Spanish. It's also a {{pun|nyName}} on the Spanish phrase for "more and less". |
| 135 | * {{Motor Mouth}}s: Naturally, being speedsters they have a habit of talking fast. |
| 136 | * PintSizedPowerhouse: Each one is only about half the size of a normal teen. They have to stand on each other's shoulders to look the other Titans in the eye. |
| 137 | * PrecociousCrush: They’re kids who have a crush on Starfire, who’s a teenager. |
| 138 | * RealityHasNoSubtitles: They speak in Spanish that's only ever translated in-universe, including [[TranslatorMicrobes via Control Freak's remote]] for most of one episode. It's specifically PlayedForLaughs a couple of times; notable examples include a long rant that went completely over Speedy and Aqualad's heads, and when Más's long and snide lecture on electromagnetism to explain how he could sense his twin brother was comically abbreviated by Pantha as "He said it was a twin thing". |
| 139 | * SharePhrase: "¡Más y Menos, sí podemos!" ("Más and Menos, yes we can!") |
| 140 | * SingleMindedTwins: They shout the catch phrase at the same time. More importantly, they have to be on the same page if they're to properly use their powers. |
| 141 | * SpeakInUnison: They almost always do this, especially when touching hands. |
| 142 | * SuperSpeed: They were the main speedsters on the show before Kid Flash showed up. |
| 143 | * TwinTelepathy: Slightly complicated example. Although Pantha attributes Más' ability to sense Menos to being a "Twin thing", Más explains that it's actually a result of a magnetic connection that gets stronger with proximity. |
| 144 | * VagueAge: The twins are very short and act somewhat childish, but none of the other Titans actually treat or speak of them as if they were significantly younger. |
| 145 | * WeaksauceWeakness: Their powers only work while ''touching''. Easiest way to disable them is separation. That's not the easiest thing in the world to do, but when Control Freak forced them apart, they were baffled. |
| 146 | * WonderTwinPowers: They grasp hands and then ZOOM! |

| 153 | !!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/AshleyJohnson [[labelnote:Other voice actors]]Creator/NatsukoKuwatani (Japanese), Yaraiví Aceldo (Latin American Spanish), Isabella Guida (IT, Season 2), Laura Préjean (FR), Lina Mendes (PT-BR)[[/labelnote]] |
| 154 | !!!'''Powers/Abilities:''' Geokinesis. As Slade's apprentice, wore a special suit that created a telepathic link with him and enhanced her powers (but also allowed him to remotely control her). |
| 155 | [[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sans_titre_560_20230412031018.png]] |
| 156 | ->''"They actually trust me..."'' |
| 157 | |
| 158 | Terra was envisioned as a LighterAndSofter adaptation of the infamous "[[ComicBook/TheJudasContract Judas Contract Arc]]" character, who was a stone-cold psycho hired by Slade from the beginning to infiltrate the Teen Titans and managed to creep ''him'' out. The animated Terra, on the other hand, was envisioned as a more sympathetic, confused character -- [[invoked]] WordOfGod describes her as no longer caring about good or evil, [[BrokenBird just wanting to no longer be hurt]]. |
| 159 | |
| 160 | [[AllThereInTheManual According to the]] ''ComicBook/TeenTitansGo'' comics, Terra was born Tara Markov, a princess to a small country called Markovia, and whose royal scientists experimented on her and her brother to imbue them with geokinesis (the psychic ability to manipulate earthen materials) as part of a project to create metahuman defenders. Terra escaped and abandoned her country, but, perhaps as a result of this, her ability to control her powers was limited -- Slade mentions, in her debut episode, a history of having attempted to settle down and do good, but causing disaster when her powers invariably went out of control and everyone turning against her for it. When she first met the Teen Titans, the possibility of her finally finding a home arose... but her paranoia meant that she would destroy this chance, and her friendship with them. |
| 161 | ---- |
| 162 | * AbledInTheAdaptation: Terra in the cartoon has mental issues that are unspecified while Terra in the comics was explicitly psychopathic in ''The Judas Contract'' comic arc. Later {{retcon}}s, however, say that Terra was either drugged by Deathstroke or she was coerced into being how she was, rather than mentally ill. |
| 163 | * AdaptationalAttractiveness: She trades in her "normal girl" looks for a cuter design. She also lost her buck teeth. |
| 164 | * AdaptationalHairstyleChange: In the comics she has messy short hair, but here she has long straight hair. |
| 165 | * AdaptationalHeroism: Unlike her comic counterpart, Terra from the cartoon does come to regret betraying the Teen Titans and [[spoiler:sacrifices herself to save the city from a volcano eruption]] in a last-minute redemption. |
| 166 | * AdaptationalNiceGuy: Terra in the comics calls her "friends" names and is always hounding on Beast Boy. It initially seemed to be playful with a bit of being a jerk, however her reveal as TheMole shows that she just genuinely disliked the Titans. In the cartoon, Terra is genuinely friendly and upbeat prior to teaming up with Slade. |
| 167 | * AdaptationalSkimpiness: She wears a midriff-baring shirt and shorts, when her comic costume's only revealing aspect was leaving her legs bare. |
| 168 | * AdaptationalSlimness: In the comics, Terra is depicted having an hourglass shape and quite voluptious for a 15-16 years old, whereas here she is slender with almost no curves at all. |
| 169 | * AdaptationalSympathy: Terra is portrayed ''far'' more sympathetically in the animated series than in the comics. In the comics, she was working against the Titans from the moment they met and was an irredeemable psychopath with dwindling sanity. She also had a lustful relationship with Slade. In the cartoon, she's instead genuinely interested in being a hero... but too vulnerable to emotional manipulation and paranoid, so she ultimately sabotages herself by playing right into Slade's hands. |
| 170 | * AdaptationPersonalityChange: Her 1980s iteration was a sadistic and manipulative sociopath, while here she is a shy and insecure teenager. |
| 171 | * AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul: |
| 172 | ** In the comics, Terra never had genuine feelings for Beast Boy, and slept with Deathstroke behind his back. Here, she had genuine feelings for Beast Boy before joining Slade. |
| 173 | ** Her relationship with Slade is changed from secret villanous lovers with disturbing pedophile undertones, to a toxic and manipulative father-daughter relationship. |
| 174 | * AfraidOfTheirOwnStrength: "Don't lose control, Don't lose control". |
| 175 | * AllThereInTheManual: Her backstory is flashed out in the tie in comics. |
| 176 | * AmbiguousSituation: [[spoiler:As of "Things Change," it's not clear if Terra truly has amnesia or if she's simply faking it because she desires a normal life; but the episode itself strongly implies the latter]] |
| 177 | * AndIMustScream: Is heavily implied that [[spoiler:Terra was alive the whole time she turned into stone]]. |
| 178 | * AnimalMotifs: Butterflies. She owns a silver butterfly-shaped hairpin and Starfire and Beast compare her journey and transformation as a person to a butterfly getting out of its cocoon in the tie-comics. |
| 179 | * AntiVillain: It's not so much that Terra ''wants'' to be bad as she's fallen into bad company and has serious issues. |
| 180 | * ArcWelding: Terra's expanded backstory in ''Comicbook/TeenTitansGo'' shows a silhouetted General Immortus overseeing the experiments that gave her her powers. |
| 181 | * BackFromTheDead: [[spoiler:In "Things Change", she's flesh again and walking around]]. |
| 182 | * BackForTheFinale: In "Things Change", Terra-but-not-Terra appears for the only and the last time in the GrandFinale. |
| 183 | * BadassAdorable: A pretty woobie with catastrophic Geokinesis. |
| 184 | * BecomingTheMask: Despite her betrayal, she really felt at home with the team. |
| 185 | * BeyondRedemption: Season 2 finale, the Titans try to get Terra to stop working for Slade, but she refuses. After she defeats them and goes on to wreak untold destruction and death upon the entire city off-screen, the Titans decide that they’re done trying to talk to her and [[CurbStompBattle effortlessly wipe the floor with her]], forcing Terra to retreat back to Slade. |
| 186 | * BewareTheNiceOnes: Terra is a cute, big-eyed teenager who likes joking and goofing around. She can also be extremely violent and a WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds when provoked. |
| 187 | * BigEater: She can beat ''Cyborg'' in eating competitions. It's subtly implied to stem from her long period as a harassed drifter. |
| 188 | * BattleCouple: Briefly with Beast Boy. |
| 189 | * BreakTheCutie: She started out cracked due to a terrible past and [[CorruptTheCutie then Slade finished the job]]. |
| 190 | * BrokenBird: Terra has a DarkAndTroubledPast involving human experimentation, inadvertently causing disasters due to suffering from PowerIncontinence, and being persecuted by people for causing disasters. Add in Slade's typical machinations, and she's an emotional mess. |
| 191 | * BroughtToYouByTheLetterS: Her second outfit when she return to the Titans, has a T on the chest. |
| 192 | * ButterflyOfTransformation: Terra owns a butterfly clip. In Issue 51, Beast Boy tells Brion that Starfire believes Terra's journey was akin to the one of a butterfly. |
| 193 | * ByTheHair: During her mud fight with Raven, Terra briefly subdues Raven by grabbing her by the hair. |
| 194 | * TheChosenZero: Terra was chosen to be imbued with geokinetic powers, but ultimately she did not utilize them to live up to the hero she was forced to be. |
| 195 | * ClingyCostume: The armored suit Slade had fused with Terra's nervous system. |
| 196 | * ClothingDamage: Slade beats up Terra so badly that he tears down her ClingyCostume. |
| 197 | * ColorCodedCharacters: Yellow, being the color of her hair, outfit, and energy aura whenever she uses her powers. |
| 198 | * CompositeCharacter: Before Deathstroke's daughter Ravager appeared in the tie-in comics, Terra's character combined elements of Rose Wilson and Tara Markov, particularly the abusive relationship the comic version of Wilson had with her father, and the long, blonde hair of Wilson's that fell over one eye, creating a visual comparison with Slade. |
| 199 | * CorruptTheCutie: Terra's introduced as a character so likable, it doesn't take the Titans more than an episode to invite her into joining the team. However, she's persuaded by [[TheCorrupter Slade]] into joining him, so she can gain full control over her powers. She becomes so captivated in trying to do so, while also holding a grudge against the Titans (hammered in by Slade no less) that she goes as far as repeatedly attempting to kill the Titans. Because of this, she's possibly the most polarizing character in the series. |
| 200 | * CursedWithAwesome: Terra had awesome [[DishingOutDirt geokinetic]] abilities... but [[PowerIncontinence no real ability to control them]], which led to a vicious cycle of her being driven away by angry people after she lost control of her powers and caused disasters. Lampshaded by Beast Boy after her demise. |
| 201 | --> '''Beast Boy''': Her name was Terra. She was gifted with tremendous power and cursed with it as well. |
| 202 | * CuteBruiser: Her geokinetic powers make her one of the more offense-orientated members of the team, and her blue eyed blonde appearance makes her very cute. |
| 203 | * CuteAndPsycho: The show depiction of Terra is LighterAndSofter compared to the comic version but still qualifies. She seems friendly, funny, and kind, although her DarkAndTroubledPast has saddled her with destructive tendencies that can, and if helped along by Slade, will, manifest as homicidal psychopathy. Her switch from a cool gal-pal to Slade's ApocalypseMaiden was astoundingly dark and quick to happen, given the show's track record at the time. |
| 204 | * DarkAndTroubledPast: Terra was put through experiments that gave her the geokinesis by her own family. She was incapable to use her powers so she ran away. |
| 205 | * DarkActionGirl: She manages to hold her own against the Titans after her FaceHeelTurn, and, at the end, is the one to kill [[ManipulativeBastard Slade]]. |
| 206 | * DarkMagicalGirl: Played Straight, considering the rivalry with a foil, abusive parental relationship, a FaceHeelTurn, [[spoiler:and a HeelFaceTurn that ''literally'' depowers her]]. |
| 207 | * DarkSecret: Only in her mind really. Terra saw her inability to control her powers as some horrible crime. |
| 208 | * DeadpanSnarker: She likes to make friendly quips. |
| 209 | * DealWithTheDevil: Episode "Aftershock Part One" begins with Terra swearing to serve Slade and by his side forever in exchange for teaching her to control her powers. |
| 210 | * DeathGlare: She gives an absolutely chilling glare in Beast Boy's direction as she departs in the shadows with Slade. |
| 211 | * DefusingTheTykebomb: [[spoiler:Terra manages to do this to ''herself'', figuratively ''and'' literally by turning against Slade and inadvertently depowering herself]]. |
| 212 | * DidYouActuallyBelieve: Terra mocks Raven for befriending and trusting her in their battle. |
| 213 | * DiesDifferentlyInAdaptation: [[spoiler:Terra was turned to stone, not crushed to death as in the "The Judas Contract" comic story]]. |
| 214 | * DishingOutDirt: She has control over all the earth and stone around her. |
| 215 | * TheDitherer: Of the Insecure/Submissive type; she is so weak willed that she cannot make her own decisions, nor take responsibility for her own doings, turning her into easy prey for [[ManipulativeBastard Slade]]. |
| 216 | * DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: A lot of Terra's behavior (fear of intimacy, inability to settle down, paranoia, self-destructive tendencies, exaggerated startle response, desperate yearning for approval from a mentor figure that she ''knows'' will hurt her) are all very reminiscent of children who grew up in abusive households. Somewhat justifiable, given her own parents ''let'' their country's scientists use her as a guinea pig to induce metahuman powers, and she has been continually driven away by mobs of people for causing geological disasters. |
| 217 | * TheDogBitesBack: [[spoiler:At the climax of season 2's final episode, Terra breaks free of Slade's control, attacks him, and knocks him into a pit of lava. Although she frames it as her realizing that the Titans were her real friends all along, it's quite obvious that Slade's berating her for her cowardice, beating her up for failing him, and revealing he always considered her nothing more than just a tool he could use to his own ends, complete with [[PeoplePuppets bodyjacking her]] in order to force her to fight when she instead wants to run, are major motivations for her aggressive betrayal of her former master.]] |
| 218 | * DoomMagnet: The reason Terra never stayed in a single place, is that whenever she tried to help the people, she ended up doing more harm, like mudslides and avalanches. |
| 219 | * TheDragon: Acts as this to Slade in "Aftershock Part 1" and "Aftershock Part 2" [[spoiler:until she pulls a HeelFaceTurn]]. |
| 220 | * DyingMomentOfAwesome: She breaks free of Slade's control and turns herself to stone to prevent him using her to destroy the whole city. |
| 221 | * EmpoweredBadassNormal: She was a normal person before going through the experiments that gave her powers. Deconstructed, in that she couldn't control her powers after receiving them. |
| 222 | * EvilCostumeSwitch: When she openly becomes Slade's apprentice, she switches from her "Titan outfit" to a new suit that looks like a mixture of bandage wrapping and body armor. |
| 223 | * EvilFormerFriend: Terra joined forces with Slade after feeling betrayed by Beast Boy twice. Next time she returns, she considers all the Titans her enemies. |
| 224 | * ExpyCoexistence: Terra is a CompositeCharacter of her comic self and Rose Wilson, Slade's daughter, but while she and Rose never meet in the show simply because the latter appears only in the tie-in comics, they both exist within the same continuity. |
| 225 | * ExtremeOmnivore: The only one able to stomach Starfire's alien food and ''like it!'' Like her BigEater status, it most likely comes from her long time on the run, where she would have learned to eat ''anything'' that was available or else starve. |
| 226 | * FailureHero: Hinted at it when Slade starts to deconstructs her past in front of her. Terra constantly tried to do good, help people, but because she could not control her powers, she was always doomed to make things worse and provoke natural disasters like avalanches and mudslides, angering the very people she was trying to save. Little wonder that they turned against her. She tried again with the Titans, but Slade's words poisoned her mind too much and she turned against them twice. Her only win is killing Slade, but she ends up killing herself too. [[spoiler:In the end, she is brought back to life, but abandons any pretention of being a hero and choses to be an ordinary person]]. |
| 227 | * FakingAmnesia: [[spoiler:When Beast Boy finds her in the last animated episode, she pretends like she doesn't remember him, at first. When Beast Boy expresses sympathy towards her, she indicates she is interested in him, but only if he acknowledges her as the Schoolgirl instead of Terra. He does not take the hint. Teen Titans Go! Issue 51 indicates that she does remember her past, particularly her brother Brion, as she spots him leaving the grounds of the Murakami School and gives a wistful smile]]. |
| 228 | * FallenHero: Terra starts off as a good-natured girl with unstable powers, but her fall comes from being seduced by Slade's promises of helping her control her powers in exchange of becoming apprentice, leading to her betraying the Titans and becoming a villain. |
| 229 | * FallingInLoveMontage: Beast boy has his own montage with Terra falling in love on their first date at a fair. They take photos, have fun on roller coasters and eat pancakes together. Everything takes a darker turn when is revealed she was Slade's spy all along. |
| 230 | * FatalFlaw: Terra has a tendency to run when a situation gets bad, instead of confronting her problems or asking for help. |
| 231 | * FaustianRebellion: Slade taught Terra to control her powers in exchange for becoming his apprentice. She latter rebels against him and sends him into molten lava. |
| 232 | * FeelingOppressedByTheirExistence: When Robin asks Terra why does she hates the Titans so much, her answer is 'You were born'. |
| 233 | * FerrisWheelDateMoment: Not the only one in the show, but Beast Boy and Terra's stands out because Slade was with them in the cabin the whole time and they had no idea. And he interrupts them when the two love birds were about to have their FirstKiss. |
| 234 | * {{Foil}}: |
| 235 | ** Raven and Terra have a unique dynamic going on if you take the entire series into account. Both are young female teen superheroes with PowerIncontinence issues and [[HeroWithBadPublicity public image problems]] -- Raven due to her half-demon nature making her come off as CreepyGood and her prophesied role to end the world, Terra due to [[DestructiveSavior the massive damage she leaves in her wake]]. However, their reactions to this issue are mirror images of each other. Raven ''accepts'' her flaws and works to overcome them; she works tirelessly to bring her powers under control and strives to be a hero in hopes of making up for the evil in her blood. Terra, on the other hand, ''runs away'' from her problems, both literally and metaphorically, by blaming others, making excuses for herself, and wallowing in self-pity. Whereas Raven constantly meditates and represses herself to establish her control, Terra fell in with Slade because he promised a quick and easy way for her to get the control she always wanted. Raven is incredibly loyal to her teammates, who she is implies to view as a surrogate family, whilst Terra happily betrayed the Titans to Slade in exchange for his "help". [[spoiler: The end of their respective character arcs further highlights their similarities and differences. Both hit the DespairEventHorizon, but Raven claws her way back from it, with a little encouragement from her friends, and continues fighting crime, whilst Terra ''literally'' declares ThatManIsDead and turns her back on her powers so she can enjoy a normal life]]. |
| 236 | ** With Starfire. They are both princesses that had to leave their homes, and are gifted with tremendous powers. Starfire was born with her powers in a loving environment, before being sold to the Gordanians by her villainous sister and escaped to Earth where she met the Titans for the first time. Despite being strangers, she ultimately trusted them to chase the Gordonians away. Terra was born on Earth without powers to manipulative parents, who used both of their children for experiments, leading to Terra gaining her geokinesis. Both have older siblings, but Blackfire is a sociopath who is ready to sell out both her sister and her planet, while Geoforce defended his country, was always protective of Terra, and was heartbroken when she left Markovia. As for their powers and personalities, Starfire is a confident young woman who uses her powers at their fullest potential, whereas Terra is an insecure StepfordSmiler with powers she can't control. Terra and Starfire are both princesses dating non-royalty, but Terra's romance with Beast Boy is ill-fated and never comes to fruition, whereas Starfire becomes an OfficialCouple with Robin in ''Troubles in Tokyo''. In Terra's case, it's her who is the LoveInterestTraitor working for Slade, while in Starfire's case, it was Robin. Starfire is very feminine young woman, while Terra is a TomboyPrincess. |
| 237 | ** To Robin. Their arcs as characters are very similar, a thing Robin himself points out to her to convince her to turn her back on Slade whilst she still can. Both Terra and Robin became apprentices to Slade, but where Slade had to blackmail Robin and threaten to kill his friends, Terra willingly went to Slade after being seduced by his promises of teaching her "how to shine". Both of them had quite complex parental relationship with Slade; Robin always tried to defy Slade no matter how many times he got beaten for it, whereas Terra willingly did all the dirty jobs Slade gave her and saw his true face only after being abused by him. Robin never quite defeated Slade, whereas Terra was the one to finally put an end to the madman, killing herself in the process. Robin is serious, brooding, obsessive and confident in his abilities and never felt inferior to his friends for being TheTeamNormal. Terra on the other had, is a shy insecure girl who only puts up a confident appearance to hide how desperate she is to conceal her PowerIncontinence from other people. Robin is the leader of the Teen Titans, while Terra became the SixthRanger. And lastly, being disillusioned with everything that happened to her, she chose the life of a normal person and refusing Beast Boy's Re{{Call To Adventure}} and any change to rekindle her relationship with him. Robin cannot see himself leading a normal life outside of being a hero, to him is in-conceivable to put anything else above his war with crime. He almost made same choice as Terra with Beast Boy regarding Starfire, but in the end, he realizes he can both fight crime as much as he wants and be in a relationship. |
| 238 | * FreudianExcuseIsNoExcuse: When Terra is being controlled by Slade and moans that she has no choice, Beast Boy tells her that she always had a choice. |
| 239 | --->"That's a lie! You've always had a choice! It's all been your choice! You chose to work for Slade, chose to betray us, and now you've chosen to give him control! Slade isn't doing this, Terra! You are!\ |
| 240 | |
| 241 | * ForgottenFallenFriend: After not being mentioned in Season 3, Terra is mentioned twice in Season 4. |
| 242 | * FromNobodyToNightmare: Terra goes from a shy and insecure girl to villain capable of destroying a city. |
| 243 | * GlassCannon: Terra is very strong in the offensive, almost unstoppable, but she has all the weaknesses of a normal human being, which is shown when the Titans almost injure her in the rebound. |
| 244 | * GratuitousPrincess: Her comics counterpart is an illegitimate child of the king of Markovia. Here she is the legitimate daughter of the king and queen, making her explicitly a princess. |
| 245 | * GlowingEyesOfDoom: Terra's eyes glow yellow when she uses her geokinesis. |
| 246 | * HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: Played with; she's introduced as a sweet, friendly blonde NiceGirl who gets along really well with the Titans, until she runs off at the end of her debut episode. She then returns several episodes later and joins the team, only to be revealed as TheMole with a subsequent FaceHeelTurn. But by the end of the season, she's bounced back to the side of good [[spoiler:via a TakenForGranite HeroicSacrifice]]. |
| 247 | * HeelFaceDoorSlam: In the episode, "Betrayal", she is on the edge between Heel and Face, having doubts and regrets about what she's done. When Slade reveals the truth, she reaches out to Beast Boy hoping he'll understand. Instead, he says "you don't have any friends" and she goes completely over to Slade. |
| 248 | * HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: She started off good, had a FaceHeelTurn when she went to Slade and became his mole, had a semi HeelFaceTurn that [[HeelFaceDoorSlam got slammed in her face]] when she tried to coax Beast Boy to join her instead of being destroyed with the rest of the Titans only for Beast Boy to chew her out for being a traitor, had an even ''bigger'' FaceHeelTurn as a response by gleefully hunting down and trying to kill the Titans at Slade's behest afterwards, and finally made a permanent HeelFaceTurn when she realized Slade was using her all along and she turned on him... [[spoiler:[[RedemptionEqualsDeath at the cost of her life]]. Or so it seemed...]] |
| 249 | * HeroOfAnotherStory: As Terra says in her own words when the Titans meet her for the first time: "I go where the wind takes me. You know? I get to see new places, meet new people, stop a few bad guys here and there". |
| 250 | * HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:She stops a volcano from erupting at the cost of being petrified]]. |
| 251 | * IcyBlueEyes: After becoming Slade's apprentice, Terra's blue eyes have a vicious expression it them. |
| 252 | * IconicSequelCharacter: Terra is introduced in the third episode of Season 2. |
| 253 | * TheIngenue: At the beginning Terra is pretty much an innocent young girl, and so naive that took the word of an evil man despite being warned about their evil deeds. |
| 254 | * IJustWantToBeNormal: [[spoiler:The reason why she is happy to be a schoolgirl instead of a hero in "Things Change". She'd much rather tackle homework than super villains]]. |
| 255 | * ImNotAHeroIm:"...not out to save the world. I'm just a girl with a geometry test next period and I haven't studied." |
| 256 | * IRegretNothing: Terra's opening monologue in "Aftershock Part Two". |
| 257 | * JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope: Already heavily influenced by Slade, she'd hoped to run away with Beast Boy after betraying the rest of the Titans to him. As might be expected, this didn't go well. |
| 258 | * LackOfEmpathy: She's evidently capable of feeling sympathy, but not empathy. She takes pity on Beast Boy and tries to get him to escape the attack on Titans Tower, ''but'', she has no clue how he could be so mad at her for trying to kill his TrueCompanions, especially after he promised to always be her friend. Consequently, she becomes enraged with him without even trying to look at it from his point of view. |
| 259 | * LeanAndMean: She is a scrawny teenager by comparison with [[MostCommonSuperpower Starfire and Raven]]. |
| 260 | * {{Leitmotif}}: She's one of the few major characters to have her own theme song, a jazzy European-sounding track that plays when she's using her power (either wrecking up an obstacle course or beating down Sladebots). [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DxgustqhHlk It's surprisingly catchy]]. |
| 261 | ** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PXvRkzogu7Y And so's the extended version]]. |
| 262 | * LossOfIdentity: As a child Terra was always confused about her own identity, and was never allowed to decide anything for her. |
| 263 | * LoveInterestTraitor: To Beast Boy. When he finally asks her out on a date, she accepts, but then he discovers Terra betrayed the team by selling them out to their biggest enemy Slade and she agreed to the date so at least Beast Boy would be spared the night Slade's forces attack the tower. Although he was obviously angry at the reveal, Beast Boy still has feelings for Terra after her betrayal and tries reaching out to her. |
| 264 | * LoveMakesYouEvil: Terra is so desperate to control her power and become more than a broken disaster in the public’s eye that she accepts Slade’s mentorship. Although she infiltrates the Titans on his orders, she becomes closer and closer to Beast Boy to the point that she brings him on a date after deactivating the team’s security, not caring if everyone else dies as long as he stays safe. When he rejects her after finding out about this, she fully gives into Slade’s influence and tries to wipe out the team wholesale. Ultimately, LoveRedeems and she sacrifices herself to save Beast Boy and her other former teammates from Slade. |
| 265 | * MasculineGirlFeminineBoy: Terra is a TomboyPrincess who is not afraid of horror themed parks and has a lot of emotional baggage to deal with, while Beast Boy is not in fond of them, is more easy going and relaxed than her. |
| 266 | * MeaningfulName: "Terra" means "earth" and she is, in many ways, literally defined by her [[DishingOutDirt geokinesis]]. |
| 267 | * TheMole: From her second appearance on she's reporting to Slade on the Titans' activity. |
| 268 | * MoreThanMindControl: [[ManipulativeBastard Slade]] played on her paranoia and burned heroics. |
| 269 | * {{Motif}}: Reflections and butterfly imagery play a large role in episodes and comics featuring Terra, symbolizing her ever-shifting sense of identity and self-image, [[spoiler:and her eventual maturation into a confident, independent, happy young woman]]. |
| 270 | * NeverMyFault: |
| 271 | ** PlayedForDrama. Terra's paranoia that others will blame her for disasters that ''aren't'' her fault, as they have in the past, leads to her refusing to accept responsibility for disasters that actually ''are'' her fault. Indeed, this is the ultimate root of her entire villainous arc; she chooses to go to Slade after believing Beast Boy betrayed her (Robin just figured out her secret and didn't know it was supposed to be a secret) and then chooses of her own free will to repay her debt to Slade by infiltrating and betraying the Teen Titans. She even notes in the opening voiceover for "Aftershock Part 2" that she feels no guilt for betraying or seemingly murdering her former friends... and then [[VillainsWantMercy gets upset when they return and treat her as a serious supervillain]]. |
| 272 | ** [[spoiler:Averted when Terra finally takes responsibility for her mistakes in "Aftershock Part 2" after Beast Boy calls her out on it, where she stops a catastrophic earthquake triggered by her powers, turning herself into stone in the process]]. |
| 273 | * NewcomerSavesTheDay: Yeah, especially when is engineered to look like Terra is there to save the day by Slade, whose actual plan was to stage an attack that would let Terra show off her skills to the Teen Titans, and earn herself a place on their team. |
| 274 | * NiceGirl: When the Titans first met her, Terra was a friendly girl. |
| 275 | * NightmareHands: Terra creates some of these out of mud [[spoiler: to try to drown Raven in a pool.]] |
| 276 | * NotSoDifferentRemark: To Raven. Episodes featuring the two highlight their many similarities and grudging friendship. [[spoiler:It's Raven who accurately pegs Terra's aspirations to normalcy in "Things Change"]]. |
| 277 | -->'''Raven''': [[spoiler:Maybe she didn't ''want'' to be found]]. |
| 278 | * NotGoodWithRejection: When Terra reveals to Beast Boy how she was working for Slade she begs him to say that despite that he'll still be her friend. Beast Boy says coldly "Slade was right, you don't have any friends." In response she gets a horrified look on her face before retreating into the shadows and putting on a expression made of TranquilFury. |
| 279 | * NotQuiteFlight: She flies by standing on rocks and levitating them. |
| 280 | * NotWearingTights: When the Titans first meet her, Terra wears normal clothes instead of a costume like them. After running away and returning to the team, Terra wears an uniform with the letter "T" over her chest. |
| 281 | * MetaTwist: Unlike most versions, she is not a the bastard child of the Markovian King, and neither a redeemless sociopath. |
| 282 | * OutOfFocus: After Season 2, where she allegedly dies. |
| 283 | * PeoplePuppets: The battle suit Slade gave Terra was designed to control Terra's powers, and her as well. She manages to override it and finish him off. |
| 284 | * PersonOfMassDestruction: Even before being trained by Slade she was capable to destroy (unwillingly) a huge stone quarry. |
| 285 | -->'''Slade''': You lack control, Terra. And when you lose control, you are more dangerous than anything I've ever seen. |
| 286 | * PintSizedPowerhouse: Physically she's a skinny and tiny girl, but can create earthquakes and throw giant boulders. |
| 287 | * PowerIncontinence: Why she's broken and paranoid; she can't control her powers, and people have always lashed out at her when they realise that she is the one (inadvertently) causing the disasters. |
| 288 | * PrettyPrincessPowerhouse: She is a princess and one of the most powerful meta-humans InUniverse. Eve though the Titans held back, the fact that she took down the entire team one by one and than over the entire city should make Terra a force to be reckon with. |
| 289 | * PsychoExGirlfriend: Terra was not exactly on the evil side until Beast Boy rejected her, which turned her over Slade's completely. After, she becomes hellbent on killing him and his friends. |
| 290 | * RebelliousPrincess: She is a runaway princess, whose older brother is looking for her. |
| 291 | * RedemptionEqualsDeath: [[spoiler:Turning against Slade and fixing the mess she made leads to her petrification. However, since she ultimately gets out of that, this becomes RedemptionEarnsLife]]. |
| 292 | * RegretfulTraitor: When Terra sets up Titan Tower to be attacked, she gets enough cold feet to try to save Beast Boy and eventually breaks down apologizing to him when he finds out. |
| 293 | * RelatedDifferentlyInTheAdaptation: In the comics she is just a bastard child of the King, but the tie-in comics made her a legitimate child and a full-blood sister to Brion. |
| 294 | * RepressedMemories: Slade implies that Terra chose to not remember anything that happened after [[spoiler:being revived by unknown means]] since she felt the damage she had done after betraying the team would have caused more pain for her. |
| 295 | * RetiredBadass: She gave up her failed superhero life for a happier and more fullfiling life as a high schooler. |
| 296 | * RichesToRags: From a princess who used to live in a castle to a vagabond who sleeps on the ground. |
| 297 | * RiddleForTheAges: [[spoiler:Terra's ultimate fate. Did she really come back from the dead? If so, does she really have amnesia, or is she just faking it? Each of the Titans has a different answer, and the series ends without resolving the issue]]. |
| 298 | * RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: Downplayed. While she is both a princess and superhero, she doesn't pick up the latter until she runs away and becomes a vagabond. While she's a princess the whole time, it comes up less often than Starfire. |
| 299 | * TheRunaway: She fled her country due to the experiments they were doing on her. Now she walks the earth endlessly. |
| 300 | * {{Ruritania}}: She is from Markovia. |
| 301 | * SaveTheDayTurnAway: Played with. Terra would rather not be acknowledged as a villain or hero. [[spoiler:High school's more her style.]] |
| 302 | * SecretLegacy: Formerly Princess Tara of Markovia. |
| 303 | * SelectiveObliviousness: Played for drama; her paranoia is so bad that, in her first episode, she immediately leaps to the conclusion that Beast Boy betrayed her by breaking his promise and telling Robin about her PowerIncontinence... despite both Robin's detective skills as Batman's sidekick being well known and the fact she had a pretty obvious bout of PowerIncontinence right in front of the whole team. |
| 304 | * SixthRangerTraitor: She joined the core team a long time after they had formed a team, and eventually betrayed them. |
| 305 | * SkySurfing: Terra learns to simulate flight through a levitating boulder. |
| 306 | * SlasherSmile: Cracks a few after becoming Slade's Dragon. |
| 307 | * StarCrossedLovers: With Beast Boy due to eventually [[spoiler:being turned to stone, and after that, apparently depowered and stripped of her memories]]. |
| 308 | * StartingANewLife: As Beast Boy points out to Brion, Terra chose to start a new life away from everyone who was part of her old life. In present she is just a mere student girl. |
| 309 | * StatusQuoIsGod: This Terra was never really allowed to feel like part of the team. The episode immediately after she joins has her conspicuously absent save a non-speaking cameo at the end and the following episode has her betraying the team. |
| 310 | * StepfordSmiler: Before her FaceHeelTurn she acts friendly and nice because she doesn't want people to see her nerves. |
| 311 | * StepfordSnarker: After her FaceHeelTurn, she replaces smile with snark. Robin doesn't buy into it, giving her a KirkSummation that shakes her to her core in one episode and a YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre speech in a later one. |
| 312 | * SuperPowerMeltdown: Everytime she loses control of her powers. |
| 313 | * SuspiciouslySpecificDenial: In the opening voiceover to the season 2 finale, Aftershock Part 2: "I have done horrible things, and I have absolutely ''no regrets''." |
| 314 | * TamerAndChaster: This Terra was made a specifically to be kid-friendly. Her sexual affair with Slade from the comics was turned into a twisted daughter-father relationship. |
| 315 | * TakenForGranite: The strain of using her powers to stop an impending volcanic eruption causes a backlash that turns her into stone. [[spoiler:By the end of season 5, she's reverted to normal, presumably depowered, and is now living a civilian life.]] |
| 316 | * TakeOverTheCity: With Slade assistance, she almost conquers Jump City with implied casualties among the civilians. |
| 317 | * TearsOfFear: Terra sheds tears when Slade begins controlling her body through the special suit she was wearing. |
| 318 | * ThatManIsDead: [[spoiler:She tells Beast Boy the Terra he thought he knew is now just a memory in her final appearance]]. |
| 319 | * TheirOwnWorstEnemy: It was her own desperation and feeling like fraud that made Terra susceptible to Slade's manipulations. Had she not suffer from such psychological issues and not take personally Robin discovering by accident she has hard times controlling her powers, her fall from grace could have been avoided. |
| 320 | * TomboyPrincess: A consequence of constantly traveling on her own. A princess without an entourage will do a lot of dirty work. |
| 321 | * TomboyWithAGirlyStreak: She is TomboyPrincess, but has she enjoys romantic things like dating. |
| 322 | * TookALevelInJerkass: Zig-Zagged. Once she receives a HeelFaceDoorSlam, Terra is enraged, alternately sadly reminiscing of her time together with her friends in one moment and lashing out at them the next, culminating in her begging Beast Boy to [[NeverSayDie "destroy"]] her. |
| 323 | * TownGirls: The Butch to Raven's Neither and Starfire's Femme. She's rather tomboyish. |
| 324 | * TrademarkFavoriteFood: Pizza. |
| 325 | * TragicVillain: Terra was just a troubled girl who didn't know better and just used as a tool by a psychopathic terrorist. |
| 326 | * {{Tykebomb}}: She was made into one to defend Markovia and left before her powers could be stabilized. Later, Slade hones her abilities and preys on her insecurities to make her into a more effective one. |
| 327 | * UnexplainedRecovery: [[spoiler: Discussed and PlayedForDrama. None of the Titans have any idea how Terra came back to life, nor does the show offer an explanation.]] |
| 328 | * UnskilledButStrong: Terra in a nutshell and deconstructed in her case. As Slade points out, there are tragic consequences when an insecure and untrained person with incredible powers try to interfere. People will turn against them out of fear if more harm is done than good. |
| 329 | * UnstablePoweredWoman: Terra's inability to control her powers resulted in causing multiple natural disasters and her becoming a runaway in order to avoid hurting others, eventually turning to Slade when he promises to be able to give the control she so desperately wants. |
| 330 | * VillainOverride: Slade created Terra's suit to assist her in battles when she has troubles. But he takes control of Terra after she refused to fight the Titans again when her rematch with them went poorly. It's effective at first, but then Terra manages to fight back. |
| 331 | * VillainousPrincess: Is not obvious immediately, because her backstory as princess of Markovia is revealed only in the comics, but she becomes this once she joins forces with Slade and becomes a revengeful young woman with a hate boner for the Titans. |
| 332 | * VillainsWantMercy: In the season 2 finale, Terra had ambushed each of the Titans and took them out one by one with an almost sadistic glee. By the beginning of the following episode, they come back with a vengeance and attack her, catching Terra off guard. She even had the nerve to beg Beast Boy not to attack her despite her attempts on their lives the previous episode. |
| 333 | * VillainProtagonist: Is the ArcHero of season 2, and even her time as a villain is primarily from her point of view. |
| 334 | * VitriolicBestBuds: With Raven. After several disagreements they finally come to understand each other. Too bad that Terra was already TheMole for Slade by the time it happened. |
| 335 | * WalkingTheEarth: Given that she is from Markovia, a fictional country that exists in Europe, she travelled quite the distance from one continent to another. |
| 336 | * WeUsedToBeFriends: After her HeelFaceTurn, she becomes this to the original Titans, who mourn her loss to an extent but temper that sorrow with acceptance of how much she endangered them. |
| 337 | * WeakWilled: She is so lost and confused that she desperately needs someone else to set her life's course for her. Only at the end does she finally find the strength to choose for herself. |
| 338 | * WitchWithACapitalB: She calls Raven a "witch" during their MudWrestling. |
| 339 | * WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: Her powers cause earthquakes because she can't control them. She turns evil because she fell in with a horrible parental influence. |
| 340 | * YellowEarthGreenEarth: The blonde Terra emits a golden light when she does her geokinesis. |

Like his DCAU counterpart, he's FunPersonified (a trait that would be carried by later incarnations), [[DeadpanSnarker snarky]], and [[CasanovaWannabe flirty]], and though he likes messing with the bad guys, he can see the good in some and [[MagneticHero bring it out]]. His consistent characterization in both shows was one reason why some viewers believed that ''Teen Titans'' was a DCAU entry. |
| 361 | * FragileSpeedster: He can be stopped if he runs into a sturdy enough surface. |
| 362 | * FunPersonified: He's a very friendly, playful guy who likes joking around and teasing others. |
| 363 | * HeroAntagonist: Kid Flash takes over the role in his debut episode, due to its plot focusing on the Hive Five. |
| 364 | * HyperactiveMetabolism: Spends a lot of his early scenes in "Lightspeed" eating or attempting to. It's also made clear that the best way to beat him is to hound him until he tires out. |
| 365 | * IWarnedYou: Tells the Hive Five, specifically Jinx, not to go work for the Brotherhood of Evil. When he encounters the boys from the team just as they'd started fleeing the final battle, he notes that now they're not only in too deep but also on the losing side, adding "Hate to say it, but told ya!" |
| 366 | * InnocentBlueEyes: Likely signaling his trusting nature towards Jinx, [[spoiler: which Madame Rouge takes advantage of]]. |
| 367 | * {{Intangibility}}: |
| 368 | ** He can use his speed to phase through walls, shocking the Hive Five. It's why you need a containment field to hold him. |
| 369 | ** When Madame Rouge gets him tired, he just runs though the walls instead, leaving an ImpactSilhouette. |
| 370 | * ItAmusedMe: He spends most of his introduction episode simply toying around with Hive Five, even though he was fully capable of turning them in at any time. |
| 371 | * KidAnova: In the animated show he only flirts with Jinx but the tie-in comic plays this completely straight. This lands him in some hot water with his girlfriend, [[spoiler:Jinx]], when he ends up flirting with different Titans girls. |
| 372 | * ManicPixieDreamGirl: A gender-flipped version because ''he's'' the reckless free spirit that is trying to get a wound-too-tightly chick to loosen up and have fun. |
| 373 | * NiceGuy: Even though he screws around with the H.I.V.E. Five, he never uses enough force to injure them and is actually rather jovial with them in conversation. Oh, and there's also the fact that he [[spoiler:reformed a supervillainess]]. |
| 374 | * OfficialCouple: He successfully courts [[spoiler:Jinx]]. |
| 375 | * OhCrap: When he encounters Madame Rouge. |
| 376 | * OneManArmy: |
| 377 | ** Madame Rouge hypes Kid Flash up as being one of the harder team heroes to capture. Indeed, he spent the first half of his introduction episode screwing around with all of the Hive Five, a group of villains that even the Titans had trouble beating together. |
| 378 | ** He and [[spoiler:Jinx]] show up to the final battle. He proceeds to clean up villains so fast his fellow speedsters Mas and Menos are impressed. Shortly after, Raven notes that the battle got a lot easier. |
| 379 | * OppositesAttract: He's in an official relationship with [[spoiler:Jinx, who is his opposite in almost every way. He's perky/happy, comedic, good, while Jinx is dark in looks, personality, and her powers]]. He seems to have a thing for "gothic girls" despite their personalities typically being nothing like his. This is evidenced by the fact that in the comics for the animated series, he flirted with Raven and Argent, two other gothic/dark characters. |
| 380 | * RequiredSecondaryPowers: Until he starts getting tired, running through walls (not phasing) doesn't seen to bother him too much. Also people he carries at super speed don't seem to be damaged by it. He is, however capable of being stopped if he runs into someone or something sufficiently sturdy. |
| 381 | * ScrewThisImOuttaHere: After Jinx contacts Madame Rouge, he decides not to hang around for much longer. During his fight with Rouge, his side of the conflict can be summed up as RunOrDie. |
| 382 | * SuperSpeed: If it wasn't obvious enough. He's so fast that that he can vibrate his molecules through walls and send cars flying simply by running past them. This applies to his fine motor skills too, as he's able to quickly dismantle Gizmo's workshop with a wrench and mess with Gizmo's tools to turn them into a mini-cage around him. |

| 385 | [[folder:Red Star]] |
| 386 | !!Red Star / Leonid Kovar |
| 387 | !!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/JasonMarsden [[labelnote:Other voice actors]]Víctor Díaz (Latin American Spanish), Gilles Morvan (FR), Ricardo Juarez (PT-BR)[[/labelnote]] |
| 388 | !!!'''Powers/abilities:''' Generating radioactive energy blasts and explosions, flight, super-strength. |
| 389 | ->''As long as I am in this place, the world is safe from me.'' |
| 390 | [[quoteright:307:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/red_star.PNG]] |
| 391 | |
| 392 | A Russian super-soldier with powerful radioactive abilities, which he can't control. He isolates himself in a remote, abandoned nuclear facility out of fear of harming others with his powers, and is regarded with fear and hate by those who know him for the damage he's caused before and who believe him to be the monster who ravages the village. |
| 393 | |
| 394 | Despite that reputation, in person he's a polite, kind young man who wants desperately to help in spite of what he's become, but whose fear of his own power keeps him in self-imposed exile. |
| 395 | ---- |
| 396 | * AfraidOfTheirOwnStrength: He's terrified of his own powers; considering they make him a walking nuclear bomb and he has very little control of them, it's a justified fear. |
| 397 | * AngstNuke: Three of the triggers of his powers are frustration, anger, and fear. |
| 398 | * ChildSoldiers: He was a teenager when he was picked to be part of the experiment to create supersoldiers, and must've been in the army for at least several years before that to have achieved the rank of captain. |
| 399 | * CompositeCharacter: |
| 400 | ** His powers are similar to Starfire's (energy blasts, super strength, flight, environmental immunity, extreme durability, etc.) |
| 401 | ** His physical appearance is basically a [[DistaffCounterpart male human Starfire]] (red hair and eyes that glow a dull green, although his do not have visible pupils or irises). His eyes also glow when he is powering up, like Starfire's, granted his glow with his signature red energy as opposed to Starfire's green energy. |
| 402 | ** He has PowerIncontinence if he becomes too emotional like Raven. |
| 403 | ** His willingness to help people but to accidentally cause trouble thanks to his PowerIncontinence is no different from Terra's issues. |
| 404 | ** He has a similar IJustWantToBeNormal demeanor and mechanical/technological skills to Cyborg. |
| 405 | ** He has as similar origin story and military rank to ComicBook/CaptainAmerica. |
| 406 | ** He has what is essentially a [[GloriousMotherRussia Cold War USSR era]] version of ComicBook/BuckyBarnes WWII costume (Even has a Captain America-esque star right in the middle of his chest). Likewise when his powers are going critical, the resulting PowerGlows makes his visor look like Bucky's DominoMask. |
| 407 | * DistaffCounterpart: To Starfire. Fitting considering his character's original comic book codename was Starfire (as in he was the original "Starfire"). In-universe though, they have similar personalities (being highly caring to those around them), share similar powers (though Red Star has to vent built up energy, unlike Starfire who can just power down), and share similar physical traits (red hair, and Red Star's eyes constantly glow green, similar to Starfire's though his glow red when he powers up, while Starfire's glow green) |
| 408 | * TheDreaded: His former commander refuses to even speak his name out of fear, and the entire village is terrified of him. |
| 409 | * EstablishingCharacterMoment: The first thing we ever see of him is him freeing a bear from a trap set by hunters, showing that despite what we'll later hear about him, he's a good guy. |
| 410 | * ExplosiveOverclocking: The more he lets his rage out and pushes his power use, the more radioactive energy he can generate, making his attacks stronger, but drastically decreasing the time it takes for his energy to build up to [[GoingCritical critical]] [[SuperPowerMeltdown levels]]. |
| 411 | * FlawedPrototype: He was a test subject of a project to develop super soldiers for the Russian military. While he was granted super human powers, they were also [[SuperPowerMeltdown highly unstable and made him into a literal walking nuclear bomb]] who was just as much a danger to his allies (if not more so) as his enemies. So his superiors had good reason to cancel any further developments of the program. |
| 412 | * GadgeteerGenius: Developed a lot of skill with snowmobiles, even getting good enough to create an entire fleet and make ''lasers'' for them. |
| 413 | -->"I have... much free time." |
| 414 | * GeniusBruiser: He's tall, muscular, and primarily known for his destructiveness... But he's also skilled enough to understand, operate, and maintain an old Soviet nuclear facility by himself. He was also able to create a fleet of snowmobiles in his spare time. |
| 415 | * TheGoodCaptain: His rank in the military was captain, as we find out when the general addresses him as "Captain Kovar" near the end of "Snowblind". Incidentally, this is all that's shown of his real name in the show, since he's always just called Red Star; in the comics, his full name is Leonid Constantinovitch Kovar. |
| 416 | * GoodSamaritan: Him getting involved with the Titans at all was the result of him helping Starfire when she'd passed out after getting lost in a snowstorm. |
| 417 | * HuskyRusskie: He's about as tall as Cyborg, and even without the heavy coat he's very well-built. |
| 418 | * IAmAMonster: After his destructive powers first manifested, he had this opinion of himself. Until Starfire, no one disagreed with him. |
| 419 | * LastOfHisKind: Starfire asks if there are others like him. Red Star replies that there aren't...anymore. Implying he wasn't the only test subject of the project who managed to gain super powers, but he is the only one to still be alive after so long. |
| 420 | * MirrorCharacter: To Terra, when one takes into account her origin as described in the show's tie-in comic. Both Red Star and Terra are young metahumans who were given their powers through genetic experimentation for the purpose of being made protectors of their home countries, but ended up isolating themselves after realizing their PowerIncontinence had turned them into [[PersonOfMassDestruction persons of mass destruction]] until running into the Teen Titans, who ended up inspiring them to perform a HeroicSacrifice. However, Terra was the princess of Markovia who hated being told what to do and how to act and adopted a nomadic lifestyle up until the events of the second season. Red Star, on the other hand, was a soldier in the Russian armed forces who faithfully served his country before and after he got his powers and locked himself away in an abandoned nuclear power plant for years after realizing the disastrous side-effects of his powers. Additionally, while Terra was described [[spoiler: by Geo-Force]] as having identity issues growing up and never being sure who she was meant to be, Red Star kept true to his noble ways even after he was shunned by the people he served. Lastly, while both of them pulled a HeroicSacrifice and came back later on due to UnexplainedRecovery, Red Star remained a crimefighter while Terra did not. |
| 421 | * MisunderstoodLonerWithAHeartOfGold: Despite what the people in the surrounding city think, not only is he ''not'' a monster who delights in causing harm, he doesn't even know that his powers are creating the monster that attacks the village periodically. |
| 422 | * MonochromaticEyes: His eyes changed to a blank green after the experiment that gave him his powers; previously, his eyes were normal. |
| 423 | * MythologyGag: |
| 424 | ** At one point, the Titans forget his codename. In comics, prior to being Red Star, he was named [[OneSteveLimit Starfire]]. This reference is also why Starfire takes such a prominent role in the episode introducing him. |
| 425 | ** His eyes glow green and lack pupils or irises, referencing Starfire's design in most of her comic appearances. |
| 426 | ** His red radioactive energy and the generally unstable nature of his powers make a strange sense when you notice he was one of Professor Chang's early experiments. Professor Chang is the one who developed Xenothium, a red colored, highly powerful, and highly unstable chemical energy source. Whatever was used to grant Red Star his powers seems most likely to have been a [[FlawedPrototype early version or precursor of Xenothium]]. |
| 427 | ** Related to the above. The large containers he vents his radioactive energy into look like giant vials of Xenothium once charged. |
| 428 | * NiceGuy: He's a deeply caring person and is willing to put himself on the line for people (or even animals) that he's never met and with no expectation of getting anything in return. That concern for others was the reason he wouldn't help fight the nuclear monster initially, as he was afraid of losing control of his power and hurting people. |
| 429 | * OlderThanTheyLook: Despite being a "Teen" Titan, the emblems on his uniform are those of the Soviet Armed Forces (which were disbanded in 1991), his uniform is appears as a modified Red Army officer's coat circa the 1960s, his flashbacks are in black/white film reel style which further alludes to mid-century Russia, he was one of Professor Chang's earlier experiments (and both Chang and Red Star's former commanding officer have greatly aged since), the tank used in one of his strength tests was a Soviet T-34 (which were phased completely out of service by the USSR in the late 1960s). On top of that he holds the military rank of Captain, which usually takes at least a couple of years minimum military service to achieve (and a recruit had to be 18 to join the Red Army, so by rank alone he would have had to have been at least 20 years old before his exile). So in all likely hood, Red Star is actually around his mid 50s in chronological age. Most probably the experiment that gave him his powers greatly slowed or outright haulted his physical aging processes. |
| 430 | * PersonOfMassDestruction: He destroyed an entire city when his powers first appeared; preventing something like that from happening again is something he has to channel his power away regularly to prevent. |
| 431 | * PowerGlows: His outbursts of nuclear power are heralded by a red glow that gains in intensity, starting with [[RedEyesTakeWarning his eyes]]. |
| 432 | * RadiationInducedSuperpowers: He was granted his abilities thanks to nuclear age SovietSuperScience, and one of his main abilities is [[AtomicSuperpower directed blasts of radioactive energy]]. If he doesn't perform a controlled vent of his powers, eventually he will [[SuperpowerMeltdown literally explode like a nuke.]] |
| 433 | * RedEyesTakeWarning: When his normally-green eyes glow red, it's one of the first signs that he's about to lose control of his powers and let off an explosion of energy; the glow intensifies and grows to cover his whole body within a couple seconds, hopefully giving him enough to get clear of other people. |
| 434 | * SovietSuperScience: His design gives the image of a Red Army soldier from the USSR and evidence in his flashbacks point to him gaining his powers around the 1960s. |
| 435 | * SuperPowerMeltdown: The main draw back of his super powers. If he doesn't vent his energy when it starts to build up, he literally [[GoingCritical goes critical]], unwillingly venting radioactive energy with the force of a nuclear bomb. This is befitting his status as essentially a walking nuclear reactor. |
| 436 | * SuperSoldier: The Red Army used him in an experiment to make the perfect soldiers. It seemed to work at first, when it changed him from a scrawny teen to a muscular and powerful fighter with super-strength. The experiment was regarded as a complete success... until his powers showed (very violently) for the first time. |
| 437 | * TestingRangeMishap: Red Star's backstory shows that while he was in a testing range demonstrating his abilities against tanks, PowerIncontinence causes him to accidentally destroy a city. |
| 438 | * UnexplainedRecovery: Despite his apparent death at the end of his first episode, he returns alive and well in the episode "Titans Together" without explanation. |

| 445 | ->''That's because...I was just warming up.'' |
| 446 | [[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hotspot.png]] |
| 447 | |
| 448 | A hotheaded pyrokinetic solo hero from Morocco who first met the Titans when kidnapped by the Master of Games to compete in a "Tournament of Heroes” where he was forced to fight Robin. He became an honorary Titan after the Master was defeated and his powers were returned to him. |
| 449 | ---- |
| 450 | * AdaptationNameChange: While his codename from the comics, Joto, was chosen because it meant heat in Swahili, it was also discovered to be a homophobic slur in Latin-American Spanish, so it was changed to Hot Spot for the cartoon and [[RetCanon the comics followed suit by renaming him Hot Spot there as well]]. |
| 451 | * AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul: He was close friends with Argent in the comics. Here, they never interact. |
| 452 | * AdaptationalNationality: Hot Spot is American in the comics. In the show, he is Moroccan. |
| 453 | * AdaptationalSuperpowerChange: In the comics, Hot Spot initially had the ability to generate intense thermal energy from his hands. In appearance, the power was very similar to pyrokinesis, but he could not generate actual flame. In the show, he is a clear pyrokinetic. His comic counterpart's powers eventually evolved to become similar to the animated version. |
| 454 | * AfraidOfTheirOwnStrength: Only in situations where they are a liability, and seeing as he lives next to an extensive oil field this limits where he is willing to go while using his powers. During his fight with Rouge, he prefers not to power down after he figures out that as indestructible as she is she can’t hold on to him while he is powered up which limits his movements. |
| 455 | * AllForNothing: After spending the better part of a day fighting and fleeing from Madame Rouge, he burns himself out in a final attempt to take her out and escape from her and protect the rest of the Titans by keeping her from getting a Titans communicator. Not only does this allow her to capture him, she also [[spoiler: takes his form and almost immediately gets Robin to give her a communicator to replace the one Hot Spot had destroyed to keep her from stealing one]]. |
| 456 | * ADayInTheLimelight: The episode "[[Recap/TeenTitansS5E3Trust Trust]]" is dedicated to Madame Rouge’s attempts to steal his communicator from him. |
| 457 | * FlamingHair: He occasionally appears to have a fire atop his head while transformed, especially while BurningWithAnger, but usually keeps a bald look. |
| 458 | * IdiotBall: He doesn't get at all suspicious when "Robin" calls Starfire Firestar, or the fact that "Robin" keeps insisting that he power down when his powers are the only thing protecting him from Madame Rouge |
| 459 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He is quick to anger in some situations and will snap at anyone trying to boss him around but his immediate response upon learning that Madame Rouge is only after him for his communicator is to destroy it to protect the other Titans even knowing that he is removing any reason she had for trying not to kill him. |
| 460 | * IWorkAlone: While he is an honorary Titan he prefers to work alone and is not only hesitant to call in help but insulted when it is insinuated he needs to. Even if he is happy to see Robin that does not mean he will take orders from him, especially if they contradict what Isaiah knows about a situation. |
| 461 | * ManOfKryptonite: Hot Spot's powers make it impossible for Madame Rouge to capture by force- at least directly and make it difficult for her to hold up her transformations while near him. |
| 462 | * MonochromaticEyes: While he is powered up his eyes are completely white. |
| 463 | * MovieSuperheroesWearBlack: His costume is much sleeker and black in contrast to the busy grey yellow and white bodysuit with cropped hoodie from the comics, though his comics costume eventually came to reflect the more simplified one from the show. |
| 464 | * TheNoseless: While transformed since magma doesn't have a nose. |
| 465 | * LeParkour: How he gets around his city, running, jumping and climbing. |
| 466 | * PlayingWithFire: He is Pyrokinetic. |
| 467 | * ProperlyParanoid: By the time Robin actually does show up to help him against Madame Rouge, he’s been fighting her for a very long time and discovered that she spent hours masquerading as Robin trying to help him escape from Madame Rouge, so he is not up for another RememberThatYouTrustMe from anyone who looks or sounds like Robin and just runs from both Robins so he’ll only have to fight one at a time. |
| 468 | * WreathedInFlames: When he is powered up he transforms to look like he is made of fire or magma trapped in glass. |

| 477 | [[caption-width-right:310:Lightning (left), Thunder (right)]] |
| 478 | |
| 479 | A pair of supernatural brothers with storm-based powers who search for new ways to amuse themselves, regardless of how much damage they cause or how many lives they jeopardize in the process. They first come into conflict with the Titans when they use their powers to destroy a bridge and are later manipulated by [[BigBad Slade]] into using their powers to create a monstrous fire demon to destroy Jump City. Fortunately, they undergo a HeelFaceTurn and combine their powers to form a rainstorm that destroys the fire monster, which summarily helps them make peace with the Titans and become honorary Titans as well. |
| 480 | ---- |
| 481 | * AdaptationPersonalityChange: In the original comics, the brothers are both rather aggressive and desperate, as [[spoiler:their powers were slowly killing them,]] but Thunder is shown to be a bit more aggressive. The animated versions of them are more playful, with Thunder being more open-minded while Lightning is impulsive. |
| 482 | * AdaptationExplanationExtrication: In the original comics, their entire backstory was explained. They have virtually no development in the animated series. |
| 483 | * AdaptationalAngstDowngrade: In the original comics, [[spoiler:both brothers were slowly dying. It is explained that their own powers were destroying them, and they needed a transfusion of their father's blood to survive. In addition, they were ultimately forced to kill their father to prevent him from killing the Titans.]] In the animated series, they are simply mischievous teens with powers. |
| 484 | * ArmorPiercingQuestion: Thunder says this when Lightning is about to strike him down. |
| 485 | -->'''Thunder''': Tell me, brother, are we still having fun?\ |
| 486 | '''Lightning''': ...No. |
| 487 | * BadassBoast: Lightning drops a pretty chilling one when he brings down Starfire and prepares to finish her off. Thunder comes in with the save. |
| 488 | -->'''Lightning''': It seems your power has limits. But mine has ''none.'' |
| 489 | * BashBrothers: Thunder and Lightning work well together. It's their motif. They are also brothers. |
| 490 | * EtTuBrute: Lightning reacts this way when Thunder attacks him to end their fight with the Titans. |
| 491 | * EveryoneHasStandards: Thunder has no trouble causing senseless destruction, but begins to question their actions when Beast Boy points out that innocent people are being put in danger. Lightning, who initially doesn't share these sentiments, looks pretty disturbed when they help Slade summon a giant fire monster. |
| 492 | * {{Flight}}: Both of them are capable of flying in distinct ways. Lightning transmutes the lower part of his body into electricity while Thunder summons a cloud to ride on. |
| 493 | * FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: Though they both relish in the chaos they create from their "playtime", Thunder is the first to realize what kind of trouble their actions cause after Beast Boy calls him out on it. Lightning, however, is fixated on keeping himself amused and doesn't realize the amount of danger he puts others in until the climax of his debut episode. |
| 494 | * HeelFaceTurn: Both Thunder and Lightning eventually help the Titans by summoning a rainstorm to extinguish the monster they helped Slade summon. They end up apologizing for their actions and later are shown to have been made Honorary Titans. |
| 495 | * ItAmusedMe: They started wrecking things because they were bored and looking for fun. |
| 496 | * MakeSomeNoise: Thunder is capable of firing powerful blasts of sonic energy from his hands not unlike what Cyborg can do with his sonic cannons. |
| 497 | * MyGodWhatHaveIDone: |
| 498 | ** Thunder has a moment when Beast Boy points out how he and his brother are putting people in danger, causing him to question their actions. He later gets another one that sticks during his next encounter with Beast Boy. |
| 499 | ** Lightning snaps out of his rage when he realizes that he's about to strike down Thunder, possibly fatally. |
| 500 | ** Both have this moment after they helped create a giant monster made of fire. |
| 501 | * NonStandardCharacterDesign: Their designs look much more like a classic anime, ala Manga/AstroBoy or Manga/{{Cyborg 009}}, with Thunder especially having his eyes stylized as connected together rather than being individual. |
| 502 | * NotSoDifferentRemark: The way Beast Boy saw them, although their random destruction was much more dangerous than his pranks. |
| 503 | * LongBusTrip: After showing up in the fourth episode of the ''first'' season, they're absent all the way until the final arc of season 5. |
| 504 | * OneShotCharacter: They only speak in one episode, and merely cameo in others. |
| 505 | * RedOniBlueOni: Lightning is the impulsive red to Thunder's conflicted blue. |
| 506 | * ScrewTheRulesIHaveSupernaturalPowers: Originally, they both believed that they can amuse themselves however they wanted thanks to their powers, and Slade attempts to goad this mindset further by asking them why they should care about the harm they do as those with "unique gifts" and thus "better" than normal people. Lightning pretty eagerly laps it up, though Thunder has doubts thanks to Beast Boy and ultimately shakes his brother from this mindset. |
| 507 | * ShockAndAwe: Lightning is capable of generating powerful bolts of electricity and generate lightning from his hands. |
| 508 | * SiblingTeam: These brothers fight together, and even have the power to make rain when working together. |
| 509 | * SmugSuper: They are very confident about their powers, although Lightning embodies this more due to lower impulse control. |
| 510 | * SuperStrength: Thunder is strong enough to grapple with Cyborg. |
| 511 | * WithGreatPowerComesGreatResponsibility: Thunder realizes this thanks to Beast Boy's talks, and he helps Lightning realize it as well. |
| 512 | -->'''Thunder''': ''*as the Titans fight the giant fire monster to protect the city*'' They also have gifts, but they use them for good while we waste ours on dangerous "fun". If we are so special, brother, then let us ''act'' special. We must help them! |
| 513 | * WorthyOpponent: When they first meet, Thunder takes an interest in Beast Boy's "power of the animals" and challenges him to a one-on-one fight, during which Beast Boy [[NewPowersAsThePlotDemands telepathically]] convinces him to step away from their rampage. He later tends to single Beast Boy out from among the Titans as "the green one". |
| 514 | * YouDontLookLikeYou: In the comics, Thunder and Lightning were just men in superhero costumes. |

| 529 | * AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul: Kole was in a relatonship with Jericho in the comics. Here, they never interact. |
| 530 | * AdaptationalDumbass: Gnarrk in the comics eventually learned to speak English, while this incarnation only ever says "Gnarrk". |
| 531 | * AdaptationalSuperpowerChange: In the original comics, Kole had more powers such as making crystals out of thin air, as well as flight. |
| 532 | * AdaptationalUgliness: Gnarrk isn't as handsome as his comic counterpart, mainly due to this interpretation of the character having more noticeably caveman-like facial features. |
| 533 | * AdaptationalWimp: In the comics, Kole could do things like create crystals and fly. Her animated counterpart's only power is to transform herself into an immobile, rock-hard crystalline statue to be used by Gnarrk as a club. On her own, she is completely defenseless. |
| 534 | * AgeLift: Kole was explicitly 18 when she first appeared in the comics (as she was kidnapped by Thia when she was 16, and subsequently spent 2 years as her captive), but like the rest of the Titans, her animated counterpart looks to be at least a few years younger. |
| 535 | * BigEater: Gnarrk had quite the appetite, though he lose an EatingContest to Cyborg who's an even ''Bigger'' Eater. |
| 536 | * BookDumb: As is expected from a prehistoric hominid, but Gnarrk does have crucial survival skills. |
| 537 | * CompositeCharacter: Kole takes over Lilith Clay's role as Gnarrk's companion. |
| 538 | * ContemporaryCaveman: Gnarrk once he leaves his underground home and goes topside to help the Titans. |
| 539 | * GrievousHarmWithABody: Thanks to being able to turn herself into a nearly-indestructible crystalline substance, Kole is capable of being wielded as an improvised club by Gnarrk. |
| 540 | * HugeGuyTinyGirl: Gnarrk is a hulking caveman and Kole is a tiny teenage girl. |
| 541 | * InNameOnly: While Kole's name is preserved, her superpower, design, and relationships have received radical changes from her original comicbook self. The original Kole could generate crystal in any shape or configuration at will and was in love with Jericho; the cartoon Kole can only [[TakenForGranite turn herself into crystal]] so Gnarrk can [[GrievousHarmWithABody use her as a weapon]]. |
| 542 | * NiceGirl: Kole is sweet, perky, and unwaveringly loyal to Gnarrk. |
| 543 | * NiceGuy: Gnarrk is kind and loyal to his friend Kole. |
| 544 | * PokemonSpeak: All Gnarrk ever says is his name. |
| 545 | * PoweredByAForsakenChild: The reason Kole lives underground with Gnarrk away from modern society. People had tried to abuse her power for their own gain in the past, presumably to power superweapons like what Dr. Light planned to do. She eventually decided humanity couldn't be trusted and exiled herself to the underground. |
| 546 | * RoseHairedSweetie: Kole has a short pink bob and is a sweet, loyal friend. |
| 547 | * SparedByTheAdaptation: |
| 548 | ** Kole was created for the sole purpose of dying for ''ComicBook/CrisisOnInfiniteEarths''. This version survived. |
| 549 | ** Both the Pre-Crisis and Post-Crisis incarnations of Gnarrk died, but this incarnation remains alive. |
| 550 | * {{Technophobia}}: Gnarrk has a crippling fear of technology, regardless whether they're used by villains or heroes. This bites him hard considering the Brotherhood recruit assigned to hunt Gnarrk and Kole is Gizmo. |
| 551 | * VoiceForTheVoiceless: Kole serves this role to Gnarrk due to the latter's PokemonSpeak limitations. |

| 591 | A sibling trio of child heroes who are put under Raven's watch when they are targeted by the Brotherhood of Evil. Though they don't appear to be capable of anything initially, being attacked by Monsieur Mallah allows them the chance to show what they're really capable of. They have a guardian in Melvin’s imaginary friend, a hulking, nightmarish but friendly teddy-bear named Bobby. |
| 592 | ---- |
| 593 | * TheBabyOfTheBunch: They are the youngest heroes on the show to be named honorary Titans. |
| 594 | * CanonForeigner: They have no comic counterparts and were made exclusively for the series. |

| 642 | * BadPowersGoodPeople: Jericho's possession abilities, which allows him to control anyone he wants like a puppet is a perfect power for villainous characters, but he's on the side of good. |
