Would one or several of you fine citizens catch us up with what's new in Titansville: who's alive, who's dead, who's all miffed and stuff, who went bananas, the usual.
SPOIL all the livelong day, as long as it's been published. No need for (further) spoiler tags here, shout it loud and proud.
Thanks!

'Kay, here goes.
RISK is likely only going to get tricks into kink nowadays.
PANTHA lost her head in battle and paid for it dearly.
BABY WILDEBEEST is gone.
BUSHIDO got cut in two.
I'm a little fearful for FLAMEBIRD... that "Bette Kane" gravestone in IC # 6 bothered me.
SUPERBOY is dead for the nonce, but ROBIN is trying desperately to bring him back with clone-tech. I think it would be a bit hot if Tim had a bit of a straight-boy-crush on Connor... it's okay for straight guys to have crushes on each other, y'know.

So what/who is/was Superboy Prime?
Posted by MLLASH on :
# 7 isn't out yet, but it apparently really IS the Superboy-Prime from CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTHS.
Posted by Thriftshop Debutante on :
Oops! Sorry, I thought IC was over.
I haven't touched Crisis since it came out, and I can't remember Superboy-Prime for the life of me.
Posted by Eryk Davis Ester on :
Superboy-Prime is the boy who would've been Superman on Earth-Prime. Superman met him in one the later issues of DC Comics Presents, and brought him along to the Crisis. Basically, he grown up with the name Clark Kent on Earth-Prime, but fully aware that it was the name of the comic book hero Superman. About the time of Crisis, his latent powers kicked in. He doesn't really do a whole lot as I recall, but he's there for the big final battle, and goes off to the Paradise inside Alex Luthor with Earth-2 Superman and Lois at the end of things.
Then he apparently goes crazy.

Any further probably-not-really-spoilers-anymore out of that whole deal?
Posted by Blacula on :
Mal (HERALD) and Karen (BUMBLEBEE) Duncan AMAZINGLY survived their red-shirt roles on Donna Troy's "Useless Space Brigade" in Infinite Crisis and even emerged from the whole deal with kinda upgrades - they're now featured members of the new Doom Patrol (along with BEAST BOY and the other originals) and Mal had a few key scenes in one of the issues of 52!
If you'd told me any of that was just around the corner 6 months ago I'd have cursed you for toying with my emotions so cruelly!
I say "kinda upgrades" though 'cause my jury is still out on whether I actually like any of the power adjustments they received. Bumblebee can shrink now, which I don't mind 'cause I've always liked shrinking characters (except for Gim Allon-killing, storyline-hogging post-boot Vi), but she's also now apparently permanently stuck at about 5 inches big so that's not so cool. And Mal seems to have had a pretty heavy power upgrade too after somehow swallowing the horn (don't ask) and losing his voicebox and lungs, but has gone all sullen and uncommunicative and is going by the more villainous sounding (but me still likey) codename, VOX. I'm not sure I'm down with this change either though - I'd have thought making Mal more relateable rather than less would've been the way to go with his character but we'll see how it plays out.
My other big concern though is that now Mal and Karen are clearly the cannon fodder members of the Doom Patrol. I mean, they're not going to kill any of the originals off after just bringing them back after 40 years, and Beast Boy's too popular to be facing danger - so that leaves poor Mal and Karen standing under the axe on a team that has a long history of dying members. I pray that Johns or Simone (who I think is using the team in her Secret Six mini) does something with them to make them as invaluable to the group as the rest of the characters are.
As for other members, well as MLLASH mentioned, its not a Crisis without killing off a few Titans so I.C. saw poor PANTHA, BABY WILDEBEEST, SUPERBOY and Titan-ally BUSHIDO head off to that big roller-disco in the sky, and Jurgens member RISK had his arm ripped off.
FLAMEBIRD has so far been M.I.A. OYL but rumours are that she may be popping up in 52 now that her old aunt Kathy has been rebooted as Batwoman again. RED STAR is making a comeback in a future issue of Teen Titans and should hopefully be getting some much needed character development after the death of his 'family' in I.C.
STARFIRE is stuck in space with Adam Strange and Animal Man as per 52 and so is getting a fair bit of play there but rumours are that she may not make it to the end. ARSENAL has been completely unheard of post I.C. leading to my own pet theory that he may be the Titan who graduates in Meltzer's new JLA but we'll see.
And that's about all I can think of for now. If you're not reading Teen Titans OYL T.D. then you're totally missing out - its definitely one of DC's top 2 or 3 titles!
Posted by Thriftshop Debutante on :
Thanks, sentients!
I sort-of follow Teen Titans. If it's on the shelf at the CBS I get it, but if it's not, then I don't.
Posted by Cobalt Kid on :
Soon to be spoilers for past Titans:
Risk - possible bad Titan via Titans East
Argent - coming soon to Teen Titans with new costume (possible guest-star or full feldged mebmer)
Red Star - any week now we'll find out what happened post-IC!
Arsenal - about to join the JLA!
Starfire - starring in 52!
Gnarkk - nothing here, but one can only hope!
Nothing really helpful here, but just in case you're not aware of who is where post-IC, Teedsy!
Posted by Stratum on :
Actually Cobie, Star and Risk are both featured in the current TT that hit stores today. Also, there's a two-page spread that shows who were titans during the OYL gap. I only remember a few but the ones I do were:
Click Here For A SpoilerMas and Menos Hotspot Bombshell Zatara Miss Martian Aquagirl (a hottie!) Argent Molecule? (think the Atom) Talon
There were quite a few more but that's what I remember so far.

Posted by Mystery Lad on :
Here's a couple more:
Add JOKER's DAUGHTER to the possible bad Titan list in TITANS EAST.
And Donna's currently WONDER WOMAN, though not in the JLA (apparently). Expect that to change any millisecond, now.
Actually, just now, she's an ornamental piece hanging from a chain and dangling between Giganta's boobs.
Posted by Stratum on :
Lucky girl....
Seriously though, I'm fairly certain based on the latest issue of TT and what we've seen so far that these guys are NOT good.

Posted by rtvu2 on :
Power Boy looks like he may be connected to Kara Power Girl.
Offspring was there too.
Mirage and Flamebird were part ot he Titan 20. So was Captain Marvel JR and Osiris-who is connected to Black Adam.
Posted by Beast Boy on :
I'm a little pissed off that Son of Vulcan isn't shown as being a Titan. That's one cool ball that they dropped flat.
Posted by Seth Gaterra on :
Mas y Menos?! I thought they just came up with those two for the Teen Titans cartoon? Or is this another "Harley Quinn" situation where they decided to transfer them from the TV to the comic?
Young Frankenstein -- anyone besides me hearing him trying to do "Puttin' on the Ritz"? Posted by Joe-Boy Harvestar on :
So Bette's not Dead? Hooray!
Posted by Cobalt Kid on :
Mirage? I'm kinda interested in what they do with her! Especially considering her really confusing history.
I wouldn't trust Talon, considering he looks like an evil Robin...
Posted by Stratum on :
Every time I think of Young Frankenstein I think of the old Hanna Barbera cartoon.
Some interesting heroes there, with some cool possibilities, I think.

Posted by Vee on :
Does anyone think that the top Power Boy is wearing looks similar to the L.E.G.I.O.N. uniform worn by Lar Gand?
Posted by Tamper Lad on :
Hmmm! So you think Power Boy maybe Lar?
I think that's Power Boy in the distance of an upcoming cover of Supergirl. SHe's been tied up with the Phantom Zone in her own title so there may be a connection.
So she could in free him in the future with the Legion, then come back to the DCU and put him in the Zone.
In that case Lar would already know her when he gets out of the ZOne but she'd be meeting him for the first time.
Then when she gets back to the past she'd know him but he'd be meeting her for the first time.
Bah time travel stories suck.

Posted by superboymddjr on :
they got Mirage's eyes wrong! it's supposed to be opposite, right?
Power Boy? Talon? Mas Y Menos...they really catch my attention. I am very inrigued!
Posted by Invisible Brainiac on :
Talon... so Robin-like!
Yeah, about the Mas y Menos thing, same thing goes for Hot Spot - name first appeared in the cartoon. Heard it was intended to be Joto, but they changed the name? So apparently Hotspot here is Joto's new codename?

Btw, has it been confirmed that this Joker's Daughter is Duela Dent aka Harlequin? Just curious.
Posted by Seth Gaterra on :

Yes, they had to change out the codename cause of BS&P, or similar organization. Because while "joto" may mean "heat" in Swahili... in Spanish, it's a derogatory term for a homosexual. Posted by Eryk Davis Ester on :
Er... this is '52' Titans-related spoilers, but Wonder Girl thinks Click Here For A SpoilerSupernova = Superboy! Which we know can't be true, right? Since he's still dead and stuff OYL?
Posted by Beast Boy on :
Maybe he dies twice?
Power Boy's Supergilr's new boyfriend (she sure gets around, poor Rokk) in SUPERGIRL #13!
