The Teen Titans members have been around for a very long time. The group first appeared in the '60s as a team of sidekicks with Robin, Kid Flash, and Aqualad leading the way. In the '80s, the New Teen Titans presented the most critically acclaimed version of the team with Marv Wolfman penning the adventures of Robin, Starfire, Raven, Beast Boy, and Cyborg.
There have been many other versions, with one team morphing into Young Justice, and even the New 52 and DC Rebirth have made sure to add Teen Titans groups to their universes. Throughout it all, there have been some iconic - and not so iconic - members of the team of teenage warriors.
Updated on July 29th, 2022, by Shawn S. Lealos: The Teen Titans have remained one of the most popular groups in DC Comic history over the years. Teen Titans Go! remained a starting point for many young fans, the Teen Titans in the DCAU was equal to the Justice League, and Titans remains one of the best live-action shows on HBO Max.
In the comics, the original New Teen Titans members are now adults and have started Teen Titans Academy, where they train the next generation of teenage superheroes. While these new kids are not actually members of the Teen Titans, they are learning from some of the best, most powerful, and respected members of the DC Universe.
The Wonder Twins
In the cartoon Teen Titans Go!, Zan and Jayna of the Wonder Twins came to apply for membership in the group. While Jayna was accepted as a full-fledged Teen Titans member, the same couldn't be said for Zan. Instead, the Teen Titans made Zan their receptionist.
The problem is that Zan's only power was turning into water. However, Jayna was able to turn into any animal she could think of, making her more valuable - albeit the exact same as Beast Boy. While the duo is best known for the Super Friends cartoon, they appeared occasionally in the comic book based on the cartoon as well.
Roundhouse
Very little was known about Roadhouse when he became a Teen Titans member on Damien Wayne's team. The young man was this team's version of Beast Boy when it came to attitude, as he bragged about his followers on his Viewtube account.
Roundhouse, whose real name is Billy Wu, can contort his body into a ball and gain superhuman speed, durability, and strength - strong enough to smash cars. Roundhouse proved his power as a Teen Titans member when he contained an entire explosion to save his teammates.
Djinn
When Damien Wayne started his new Teen Titans team, he chose another unknown hero to join the ranks. Compared to the character of Raven, Djinn was the magic-user in the group. Not only did she have magical powers, but her powers were almost limitless.
Her powers include flight, immortality, shape-shifting, teleportation, and wish-granting. While the members of Damien's team were teens, Djinn was a genie that lived for over 4,000 years. However, she was in the body of a teenage girl and faced an interesting duality that was fun to watch play out.
Crush
The Teen Titans team brought in a member whose father had a huge legacy in DC. Crush was the daughter of Lobo, the alien bounty hunter. Much like her father, Crush wreaked havoc in her first appearance. She is a fireball and has her father's superhuman strength and durability.
Not only that, but she also wasn't just the stereotypical kid with daddy issues. She knows who her dad is and revealed she will deal with him if the time comes. Crush finally quit the Teen Titans when she tired of holding herself back.
Phantasm
Phantasm is Danny Chase, the grandson of an American intelligent agent that was in an accident and was exposed to radiation during the Manhattan Project. As a result of the radiation, his grandson Danny was born with telekinetic powers and was trained in espionage by his parents.
The problem with Phantasm is that he was arrogant and very quick to anger. While the Teen Titans helped him save his parents, and that led to him joining them, he considered himself superior to the team and he was never a good team player. However, he had an honorable end, as he sacrificed himself to free Raven from a possession that turned her against the Titans.
Aquagirl
Aquagirl was one of two members of the Aqua-Family to join the forces of the Teen Titans. The lesser-known of the two was Lorena Marquez, who started her career as Aquagirl in 2004. Her origin had her survive an earthquake where she was saved by Aquaman, who discovered that she could also breathe underwater.
Aquagirl joined the Teen Titans after the events of Infinite Crisis, but she wasn't a member for very long. She spent most of her Titans career arguing with Hawk. She became much more important when rejoined in Teen Titans Vol. 3 #69, but due to her lack of experience, Wonder Girl fired her 19 issues later.
Steel
When Superman fell at the hands of Doomsday, four new versions of the Man of Steel appeared in the DC Comics Universe. One of these was John Henry Irons, who later went by the name Steel. However, the Teen Titans member is his niece Natasha, who took her uncle's place after an injury stopped him from continuing his crimefighting career.
The big difference is that, at first, Natasha was very arrogant and believed herself better than others because of her armor-enhanced superpowers. She ended up with real superpowers for a short time thanks to Lex Luthor (becoming Starlight) and joined up with the Teen Titans during that period of her life.
Skitter
Skitter joined up with the Teen Titans in 2011 when Tim Drake set out to find and try to help her. He was also trying to protect her from N.O.W.H.E.R.E., an organization capturing and experimenting on superpowered children. For Celine Patterson, her powers involve turning her into an insectoid-type creature that has superhuman strength and can shoot webs.
While Skittler and Bunker developed a close friendship as members of the Teen Titans, her career as a member of the group was short-lived. When the team was sent to the Crucible during the Culling, Skitter was left behind.
Power Girl
This isn't the first Power Girl (Kara Zor-L) that fans know from Earth-2. The character has also had appearances in the classic Justice League cartoons. The Power Girl that was a member of the Teen Titans was Tanya Spears, who took over the role when the original hero returned to Earth-2.
Power Girl first displayed superpowers when Kara left to return to Earth-2 without knowing why she got them. She ended up joining the Teen Titans in order to learn how to control and use her powers under the leadership of Tim Drake. She left when Drake's team was disbanded and ended up disappearing in Deathstroke Vol. 4 Annual #1.
Bunker
Out of all of the members of Tim Drake's Teen Titans, Bunker had possibly the most promise. Born in Mexico, Bunker left home in his teens to try to find Red Robin and meets him and Skitter aboard a train. N.O.W.H.E.R.E. had interest in him, but Bunker was able to help the Teen Titans defeat them and release the clone Superboy.
Bunker's powers include creating energy constructs with his mind. He was also a standout member of the team due to his orientation, as he's one of the few openly gay characters to serve with the team. When DC Comics rebooted the Teen Titans, Bunker was missing in action and has yet to return.
Solstice
Solstice is a Teen Titans member from India who has the power of photokinesis. This ability allows her to generate bright blasts of energy from her hands. Thanks to her parents' friendship with those of Wonder Girl's, she became friends with Cassie and the team came to her aid when her parents disappeared.
After this, she joined the Teen Titans and remained with this version of the team until their final mission before the events of Flashpoint. Sadly, after Flashpoint, this version of Solstice never existed in the New 52, although a new Solstice joined the team after her incarceration at the hands of N.O.W.H.E.R.E.
Jericho
Jericho is a very interesting character and played a huge role in some of the New Teen Titans adventures in the '80s. He also appeared in a small cameo role in the recent movie Teen Titans: The Judas Contract as the victim who came back to life in the post-credit scene.
In the comics, Jericho is the son of Deathstroke - the child rendered mute after an enemy of Deathstroke's cut his throat. His power is that of possession, which made his demise ironic as he ended up possessed by the demon Azarath. He remained a hero to the end, asking his father to end his life to save him and his Teen Titans teammates.
Red Arrow
There have been two Red Arrows, but this one is from the present-day DC Comics continuity. Making her first appearance in Green Arrow Vol. 5 #18, Emiko Queen is the half-sister of the Green Arrow.
However, she was raised by an assassin and never knew who her real father was. While she was mostly a member of Team Arrow, she returned in 2017 as Red Arrow and ended up as a member of the Teen Titans. She was also a romantic interest for Damien Wayne after she joined his new version of the team.
Terra
Terra Markov might be the most controversial member of the Teen Titans team. Introduced in New Teen Titans #26 in 1982, it turned out over time that Terra was a mole sent in to infiltrate the team and bring them down from the inside.
She developed a romantic relationship with Beast Boy and her betrayal devastated the entire group. Her powers involved manipulating all forms of Earth and rocks. Terra was also the main focus of the storyline in the animated feature movie Teen Titans: The Judas Contract, which retold the story of her betrayal, including her final sacrifice that saved the team she betrayed.
Hawk & Dove
Hawk and Dove have been around for a very long time, first appearing as a duo in 1968 in the pages of Showcase #75. However, the team has gone through many changes, including switching from two brothers to a male and female duo. The idea behind them is that one of them represents peace, while the other represents aggression, and therefore the two evened each other out.
They were members of the original Teen Titans team in the '70s. In the 1988 series Hawk & Dove, a girl named Dawn replaced the now fallen Don and the duo was back in action. It is this duo that appears to be part of the upcoming Titans TV show on the DC streaming network.
Bumblebee & The Herald
Interestingly, it is Bumblebee that is best-known in this husband and wife superhero duo thanks to her appearance in the Teen Titans animated series. Bumblebee also appeared in the animated movie Teen Titans: The Judas Contract as one of the original team members.
At the time of their membership in the Teen Titans, Bumblebee was the girlfriend of Titans member The Herald and took on the Bumblebee persona to attack the Titans so that her boyfriend could look heroic. It impressed the Teen Titans enough that they invited her to join the team as well.
When they first joined, Herald could open portals, but in the new continuity, he has sonic abilities through his voice. Bumblebee is basically DC Comics version of The Wasp, as she has similar powers. She can shoot energy blasts from her hands.
Miss Martian
Miss Martian became hugely popular for mainstream audiences when she appeared as one of the most important characters in the Young Justice animated series. She also recently appeared on the live-action Supergirl TV show. However, before any of this, she was a member of the Teen Titans in the comic books.
Miss Martian was originally a member of the Teen Titans in the year between Infinite Crisis and One Year Later storyline. At first, the Titans thought her to be a traitor, similar to Terra, but she turned out to be a strong ally. She has shapeshifting powers as well as telepathy.
Superboy
Superboy came to prominence when he appeared after the fall of Superman at the hands of Doomsday. When Superman returned, he gave his blessing to the young hero - who happened to be a clone created to take the Man of Steel's place in case something happened.
Superman awarded him the name Kon-El, which soon became Conner Kent. While many people know Superboy from the Young Justice cartoon, he was a member of the Teen Titans in comic books. In Teen Titans Vol. 3, Superman asks him to join the young team in order to develop human relationships and learn how to control his powers.
Arsenal
The first Red Arrow was Roy Harper, who has also gone by the name Speedy but is best known as Arsenal. Fans of the Young Justice cartoon know him as the member who originally wanted nothing to do with the team when he realized that the Justice League was just leading them along when it comes to being more than sidekicks.
As Speedy, he was one of the early members of the Teen Titans team until that team disbanded. After serious personal problems led to his split with Green Arrow, he began working as a government agent. Through the years, Roy has worked on and off with the Titans on various missions, even leading the group at one point.
Aqualad
There have been two Aqualad's, and both have been members of the Teen Titans group. The first was Garth - one of the founding members of the team - who was a former sidekick of Aquaman. He has the same abilities as Aquaman but on a smaller level.
He worked with the Teen Titans for years and, in DC Rebirth, he is a member of the adult Titans as Tempest. The second is one who Young Justice fans know - Jackson Hyde. He was a former henchman of Black Manta who turned good and became a leader in Young Justice. While DC Rebirth had Garth as a member of the Titans, Jackson is still around as well and joined the Teen Titans.
