Teenage years are always full of so much adventure, so much drama, and it is exactly this that sets the Teen Titans apart from other superhero squads. Full of both teenage angst and wild super abilities, the team constantly finds themself bouncing between struggling to grow into their adult selves as well as tackling big city-destroying baddies. It seems like the drama, and of course, the action doesn't stop with the upcoming Teen Titans #46 leading to a conflict between the crew and Superboy.
While Teen Titans comics feature a variety of team members are always touched upon, this issue will mostly focus on the aftermath of Robin's departure and Superboy's return. Although there have been many, many Robins over the years, this particular Robin is the most closely related to the Dark Knight himself. The genetically manufactured son of Batman, Damian Wayne has a complicated past, having been raised by his mother, Talia al Ghul, daughter of Batman's nemesis Ra's al Ghul. Much like Damian, Superboy, also known as Conner Kent, is a genetically engineered being. However, he is a little bit more lab-made than Damian as Conner is a legit test tube clone of Superman mixed with Lex Luthor. Despite being a clone of the Man of Steel, Superboy's powers vary from that of Superman's and include things like telekinesis.
