Random Titan-related what-might-have-been thought;

Wolfman/Perez era launches, as it appeared back in the day, with two primary changes.

About six issues in 'Raven' pulls back her hood after Wally fails to recognize her (which, she's got a hood, and a funky distorted voice now, so it's not totally unbelievable), to reveal that she's Lilith Clay! Her being a 'sensitive' is entirely down to her supernatural heritage (which we don't learn about yet for some time). The whole Trigon's Daughter thing goes on as normal, only Raven is Lilith, and Trigon is the source of Lilith's 'psychic' powers. (Dick recognized her already, even before the big reveal, 'cause he's trained by the Bat and knows stuff.)

Cyborg is recognized immediately as being Mal Duncan, and the source of his tech comes from STAR labs tech contributed by his girlfriend, Karen Beecher (who no longer operates as Bumblebee as much, but is more the 'woman in the chair' who acts as science advisor and technical support for Mal and the rest as needed). Mal loves Karen, but also just a little bit resents these unasked-for changes to his body (she saved his life making him Cyborg, but sometimes he's not okay with it...). So, drama. (She also fills the role of guilty-tech-provider to the team that Victor Stone's dad played in the original series.)

The only new character that remains 100% new is Starfire, and that's kinda necessary since she's got that whole alien Vega plotline to work through.

Basically, it's me streamlining a bit, folding Raven into Lilith and Cyborg into Mal, so that the Wolfman/Perez team is almost entirely OG Titans (save for Starfire!).

I think I would have preferred this to what we got. It would have made the Titans a little bit richer and not subjected all of the former Titans to forever second-class status.

Thanks! I don't have anything against Raven or Victor, but I do like the idea of repurposing Lilith, Mal and, to a lesser extent, Karen, and keeping them relevant in the new Titans era.

Couldn't think of a darn thing for Golden Eagle, though. Maybe he can replace Azrael as 'winged ponce nobody likes?' smile
