The Teen Titans underwent several transformations before becoming the crew from the 2003 animated series: Robin, Cyborg, Starfire, Beast Boy, and Raven, a roster inspired by Marv Wolfman and George Pérez’s iconic Teen Titans run.
Teen Titans fans are in luck: the Titans are currently at the forefront of the DC Universe in an ongoing series,Titans, by Tom Taylor, Nicola Scott, and Lucas Meyer. The first 11 issues are available now from DC Comics.
Giving each Titan a distinct insignia emphasizes that this is a team of strong individuals. The Titans' main point of contention has often been their varied motivations and personalities. Theseunique personalities are captured in Becker’s designfor the team.Beast Boy’s sparse, unshaven attemptat facial hair highlights his recurring inferiority complex within the Titans. Starfire’s carefree coils of hair, floating around her comparatively casual gear, gives a sense of her optimism. Alternatively, Raven’s actual ravens on either shoulder and beak-like hood obscuring her face leave no doubt of the drama she carries in the group.
