The 10 Best Teen Titans Of All Time

This week, it was announced that not only will Young Justice appear on a newly designed DC App for digital content, but that a live action Titans series in in the works from Johns himself.

We know only four of the characters for the show’s roster – Dick Grayson, Starfire, Raven, and Beast Boy - but there are more than enough candidates in Teen Titans lore for an interesting and diverse team.

But who are the very best Titans? The members that defined what it truly means to be a Teen Titan? Does being a founder guarantee a spot as one of the greatest Titans of all time? Or will latter-day icons who defined the team's other great eras supersede that importance?

Find out as we count down the ten greatest Teen Titans of all time.

Donna's weathered some troubling times over the years, mostly stemming from some continuity weirdness, but through it all, she's remained one of the most steadfast Titans, taking part in almost every era of the team since its earliest days.

Now, after some nebulous "New 52" origins, Donna Troy seems to be back in business, and back with the Titans, in "Rebirth."

Oddly, Gar (under the name Beast Boy) was actually contemporary to the original Titans, but was part of the Doom Patrol way back in the 1960's. It wasn't til Wolfman and Perez took over and redefined him as Changeling that he joined the team.

Like many of his Titans teammates, Beast Boy had some strange "New 52" twists, but he's back (and close to his old self) as of "Rebirth," with several of his old teammates - and some new ones - in Teen Titans.

Though their dynamic was familiar, their roles weren't quite the same as their adult counterparts. Cassie was the brash, tough as nails daughter of Zeus, trained by Wonder Woman's enemy Ares.

Cassie remained a part of the team into the "New 52," but with an altered origin that made her a relative of Wonder Woman rather than simply an ally.

Raven's legacy has carried into other media, where she's become one of the primary faces of the Titans. Raven's connection to the Titans continued into the "New 52," albeit with slightly different origins. She's one of the members of Teen Titans rather than their adult counterparts the Titans in "Rebirth."

Superboy became a major player in the team, discovering the truth of his origins, forging a relationship with Wonder Girl, and becoming Tim Drake's best friend, forming a miniature version of DC's "trinity" for their generation.

Superboy's death in Infinite Crisis redefined the team again, leading to some of the most soapy superhero operatics of its era.

Conner returned to the team in the "New 52," but his origins were so different his connection to the team didn't last. Now, a new Superboy, Jonathan Kent, has been inserted into the DCU by way of the post-Crisis Superman and carried over after "Reborn."

Starfire is the Titans' innocent ingenue, an alien princess whose naiveté belies her warrior spirit. Though she had some questionable moments in the early "New 52," she graduated to her own solo series, and with "Rebirth," has rejoined the Teen Titans alongside Raven and Beast Boy, two of her New Teen Titans allies.

Tim isn't just one of the greatest Titans of all time... he's also one of the greatest Robins. Who could forget his iconic moment early in Johns's run when he wins over his somewhat acerbic teammates by leading them to sneak out of the Titans Tower, while also confessing that he even lies to Batman?

Tim, as Red Robin, remained a major part of the Titans into the "New 52," but with "Rebirth," his successor as Robin, Damian Wayne, has taken his place on the Teen Titans.

Cyborg isn't just an iconic Titan, he's an iconic DC hero - so much so that the New 52 took him out of the junior leagues and recast him as a founding member of the Justice League.

Still, it is the Titans that really defined Cyborg, just like Cyborg helped define an entire era of the team. It seems unlikely that Cyborg with go back to the Titans any time soon, as he's part of DC's cinematic Justice League. But for many fans, that will always be Vic's home.

Wally was the first of the Titans to graduate into his mentor's role when Barry Allen died. Wally was the Flash for decades, taking the mantle to new heights and even greater speeds.

Now that Wally has returned in "Rebirth," he's back alongside his longtime allies in the new ongoing Titans series.

Dick eventually graduated, serving as Batman on several occasions and even working with the Justice League. But as he has done in "Rebirth," Dick almost always returns to his life as Nightwing - and to his compatriots in the Titans.

Dick is a perfect example of what the Titans are all about - taking teen heroes from being sidekicks to kicking it in the big leagues. It is arguable that, without him, the Titans wouldn't have lasted for as long as they have - or possibly even have started.
