Warning! Spoilers ahead for Teen Titans #45
The Teen Titans have been going through some rough times lately. Not only has Robin left the team, but Batman has taken it upon himself to disband the group of young heroes. Furthermore, Robin is determined to take on a new method of lethal justice against criminals, pitting both the Teen Titans and his father against him. With the rest of the Teen Titans unsure of what the future holds, there still remains one threat that seems inescapable for some members: rage quitting while playing Nintendo's Super Smash Bros.
In previous issues of Teen Titans, Robin fought both his own teammates and his father. In the aftermath, Damian decided to quit his role as Robin, going down his own dark path alone, knowing full well that his team would still try to stop him. Unfortunately for them, Damian is extremely smart and cunning, finding ways of distracting them and keeping them off his trail, so he can serve up his own justice as he sees fit without any interference.
If that wasn't bad enough, the Teen Titans are even more unbalanced as they're not even sure that they're a team anymore, given Batman's declaration that they were over. In any case, they still feel the need to do something, but not even video games can keep them busy. In Teen Titans #45, from writer Robbie Thompson with art by Javier Fernandez, Crush and Roundhouse are playing none other than Super Smash Bros. at least until Crush ended up rage-quitting and smashing her controller to pieces.
While it's possible that Crush and Roundhouse could have been playing Nintendo's Arms (Min Min is a character from that game), she's also the newest DLC character to be featured in Super Smash Bros. Considering that Smash Bros. is the more popular game and Crush is smashing her controller in her frustration, it seems more fun to believe Smash Bros. is indeed the game they're playing. Regardless, rage quitting is a common occurrence displayed by players of fighter games with both of these game included in that genre, and Crush is apparently no exception.
After the time for playing games ends, the Teen Titans find themselves pulled together again, getting leads on the villain Gizmo from a source they all believe to be Damian. After getting attacked by a legion of Gizmo's robots, Red Hood confirms that Damian isn't helping them track down Gizmo, he's setting them up to be distracted so he can escape and go after criminals with a lethal vengeance. He tells the Teen Titans to stand down, so the adults can deal with the former Robin. In spite of this, the Teen Titans still decide to go after Gizmo. Unfortunately, after they defeat Gizmo, Superboy arrives, and he's pretty angry. He demands to know where his friend Damian is, but it doesn't seem like the teens have any answers for him, which could be a problem. If it wasn't clear before, the time for Smash Bros. is definitely over for the Teen Titans.
