What do you do with teens when they grow up? Where will The Teen Titans go in their future? This is The Teen Titans...20 Years Later!
Cyborg & Robotman
Victor Stone has found himself on many superhero teams over the last 20 years, and in the time he spent growing and becoming stronger, he eventually found a way to regain his humanity. Following the death of Robotman, Victor Stone managed to recreate his mortal body and return to his human form. However, since parts of his brain are still cybernetic Vic has the ability to control technology with his thoughts. Bringing an all new meaning to the name "Cyborg". But all of his cybernetic parts had to go somewhere, so Vic created Robotman 2.0 from his robotic limbs, a new artificially intelligent robot to help fight crime. While Vic goes on to lead a new Teen Titans, Robotman is part of Beast Boy's new Doom Patrol.
Starfire
Starfire has rediscovered her long lost race, The Tamaranians. And has the permission of The Martian Manhunter to relocate her people to Mars. However, the long journey there will force her to assume the position of queen and hire the deadliest man in the galaxy to help protect her people. With the help of Lobo The Bounty Hunter, Starfire spends six years moving her race across the cosmos, fighting monsters and menaces alike. By the time they finally reach Mars, Lobo has fallen in love with Starfire. Her optimism, compassion, and confidence in even the lowest of life-forms has made Lobo reevaluate his life. No longer does he want to be a gun for hire, a shameless mercenary, or a cosmic womanizer. Starfire brings out the honest man in Lobo and the two get married and lead New Tamaran together.
Beast Boy/Animal Man
Beast Boy has outgrown the "boy" and become known as Animal Man. After Buddy Baker retired and passed his connection to "The Red" to Gar, our green friend became adorned with red markings throughout his body. He dons Buddy's blue and white suit and takes the role of The Red's protector. This means less pizza parties and more paranormal summons with the likes of Swamp Thing, Doctor Fate, and The Specter. Garfield and Raven do end up settling down and having a son named Clint, named after the late Robotman. Clint's powers are a mix between Raven's sorcery and Gar's ability to tap into the animal kingdom. As "The Animancer", Clint specializes in summoning and controlling animals from across history, as well as mythological beasts. Gar currently leads The Doom Patrol, and Clint is a member of Victor's Titans. Gar's Doom Patrol includes Robotman II, Negative Man, Bumblebee and her husband Guardian, and Morpho, the son of Metamorpho and Element Woman.
Raven
After the soul of Jim Corrigan was allowed to rest, someone new had to become the vessel of The Spectre. The Spirit of Vengeance was absorbed by Raven after she learned the life of his next vessel would be essentially ruined by the responsibility of being God's Wrath incarnate. As The Spectre, Raven wrestles with the voice of Spectre on one shoulder, and Trigon on the other. When she leans towards vengeance her purple robe becomes green, and when she gives in to evil her robe becomes black. Raven seems to have even less time to spend with her friends and family now that she has become God's agent of punishment, but is sure to assert herself and even disagree with what God commands.
Deathstroke
While age doesn't do much to the super-soldier named Slade, Deathstroke isn't exactly living the same exquisite assassin life he used to. His second son Joseph has a husband and an adopted son, his daughter Rose is a member of the U.S. military, as well as being a wife and mother, and his loyal butler Wintergreen has died of old age. Slade-in his older years-is living on a farm in Russia with his new wife Minerva and his ten-year-old son Shane. He's now a simple farmed who realized he lost his family a long time ago. Lost he chance to be a father. Slade is pulled back into his old life by President Grayson who informs him of Brother Blood's plot to kill the children of Arabia to achieve immortality. Deathstroke once more, Slade does the dirty deed and leaves his signature sword in the hands of a young village boy who was brave enough to help him find and kill Brother Blood.
The New Teen Titans
Formed by Victor Stone, The New Teen Titans reside in the team's original tower in San Fransisco and the team's members are flown in three days a week to train under the veteran hero. The team includes Perry Olsen/Superboy, the son of Supergirl who usually resides in New Krypton on the planet Mars. Like his father Jimmy Olsen, Perry can be very eager. But he can also be very clumsy. Renee Drake/Robin, daughter of Tim Drake and Stephanie Brown and the partner to Steph's alter ego Batwoman. A mix of genius and cheeriness makes Robin a bit of an over-thinker. Lyta Trevor/Wonder Girl is the prideful daughter of Wonder Woman, and a victim of biting off more than she can chew. Dawn Allen and Iris West are The Kid Flashes, Red and Yellow respectively. The cousins are fast on their own, but faster together. Lian Harper is the daughter of Roy Harper, she's the current Speedy, and she seems far more interested in just hanging out than fighting crime. Mareena is the daughter of the original Aqualad and the partner of the current Aquaman, and as Aquagirl she is a free spirit who cares a lot about the environment. And, the aforementioned Animancer.
