List of Teen Titans Go! characters

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a list of the major and minor characters featured in and/or created specifically for the Cartoon Network animated series, Teen Titans Go!.

Teen Titans

[edit]

Robin

[edit]

Robin is the leader and the only Titan who does not possess any superpowers. He primarily relies on his arsenal of weapons and tools during combat. His weapons of preference are his Birdarangs, grapple guns and multi-purpose metallic bo staff.[1] He is also incredibly agile, and is a studious scientist, detective and martial artist.

Robin is disciplined and serious. Robin's role as leader is modestly parodied throughout the series. He prefers to take the lead role at all times. Robin is also at times emotionally unstable, arrogant, self-centered, and bad-tempered. However, despite his flaws he usually learns from his mistakes and tries to make amends.

His original comic book likeness is also featured briefly in "Books", and he is seen in his original comics outfit in a flashback in "Baby Hands".[2] It transpires that Robin also eventually grows up to become Nightwing in "Staring at the Future", a point which is reinforced in "Sandwich Thief".[3]

Starfire

[edit]

An orange-skinned, green-eyed alien princess, Starfire (real name Koriand'r) is formidable for her superhuman strength, faster-than-light flight, and ability to emit bright green energy bolts from either her hands or her eyes. Starfire is a generally happy and naive person and is relentlessly kind and polite to everyone, even to her occasional foes in battle. She expresses interests in self-maintenance to upkeep her appearance in the new series.

Starfire is slightly modified from her previous likeness, with design changes to her boots, hair, and flight trail.

Her original comic book likeness is also featured briefly in "Books", and she is seen in a less sexualized version of her original comics outfit in a flashback in "Baby Hands".[2] It would also be revealed that Starfire would become the queen of her home world Tamaran in "Staring At The Future".[3]

Raven

[edit]

Raven is a mystical half-demon with a range of superpowers based upon her skills with magic. Her appearance slightly changed in the Go! series to have paler skin and shorter hair.

Raven is of a very apathetic and acerbic nature, almost seemingly devoid of emotion, and often interacts with her teammates through means of sarcasm and occasional bouts of demonic anger. Despite some parts of her personality staying similar, others were modified for the Go! series. She is shown to have feelings for her teammate Beast Boy but often hides it from everyone.

Robin categorized Raven's role in the group as "the sarcastic older sister" in "Uncle Jokes".[4] She is seen in her original comics outfit in a flashback in "Baby Hands".

Beast Boy

[edit]

Beast Boy has a purple-and-black Doom Patrol uniform, pointed ears, and green skin. He is shown to have feelings for both Raven and Terra, he often goes to Terra if he tried to get Raven to go out with him on a date and will constantly be rejected everytime.

As in the comics, Beast Boy is very good friends with fellow Titan Cyborg, though their friendship would be tested at times.

His original comic book likeness is also featured briefly in "Books", and he is seen in his original comics outfit in a flashback in "Baby Hands".[2] Beast Boy sings a modified version of Love Won't Fade, a song written and performed by Cipes' musical group to Terra in the Valentine's Day episode "Be Mine".[5]

Cyborg

[edit]

Cyborg is a tall, prideful cyborg. Much of his body contains an arsenal of hidden weapons, such as lasers and missiles, but includes various commodities and appliances. He has feelings for Jinx and once dated in "Opposites".

Unlike the original series, Cyborg is now a disembodied head connected by a small system of wires which make up a miniature body, making him more robot than human. However, this is often inconsistent from episode to episode.

His original comic book likeness is featured briefly in "Books,” and he is seen in his original comics outfit in a flashback in "Baby Hands."[2] A chibi of Victor Stone, his human self prior to automation, is displayed briefly in "Caged Tiger.”[6] Cyborg explains his origin story, accompanied by a thought bubble recollection of the event, in "Man Person.”[7]

Allies

[edit]

Bumblebee

[edit]

Bumblebee is the former leader and only female member of the Titans East from Steel City. She becomes the sixth Teen Titan in the "Super Summer Hero Camp" 5-part miniseries, which is also her first speaking role, only to leave the team eight episodes later in "The Viewers Decide". As her name suggests, she can shrink to the size of a bumblebee, fly, and sting her enemies with shocking stingers.

Aqualad

[edit]

Traditionally Aquaman's sidekick, Aqualad is an Atlantean hydrokinetic empath with the ability to telepathically communicate with sea creatures. Aqualad appears as a humanoid male with black hair and white-irised black eyes. He wears a two-tone blue bodysuit, along with black boots with shark decals on the soles.

Más y Menos

[edit]

Debuting in the previous animated series as Titans East members, Más y Menos (which translates into "Plus and Minus") are energetic, Spanish-speaking Guatemalan twin brothers.

Speedy

[edit]

Speedy is a red-headed superhero wearing a red-and-yellow uniform and a black Harlequin eye mask much like Robin's. He is a master of archery, and was formerly Green Arrow's sidekick. Made an Honorary Titan in the previous animated series, Speedy is the first such hero to be seen and given a speaking role in the spin-off.

Kid Flash

[edit]

The Wonder Twins

[edit]

First introduced as supporting characters in the Super Friends cartoon series, The Wonder Twins are an alien brother-sister duo affiliated with the Justice League of America. Jayna, the sister, has the ability to morph into any animal and gain their respective skills, instincts and near-superhuman abilities. Zan, the brother, can morph into any form of water, whether solid, liquid, or gaseous.

Villains

[edit]

The H.I.V.E. Five

[edit]

The H.I.V.E. Five are a group of teen supervillains from a criminal organization known as the H.I.V.E. Academy. Thus far, they are the most recurring villain characters of Teen Titans Go!, appearing in a majority of the series' episodes as the central enemies. Brother Blood is noted as being the H.I.V.E.'s leader in one episode, and the five villains that make up the group are often simply called "The H.I.V.E." as opposed to the "H.I.V.E. Five."

Gizmo

[edit]

Gizmo is a diminutive boy genius with a skill in invention and engineering; like the previous series, he is again partnered regularly with the H.I.V.E. Five, acting as its leader.

Jinx

[edit]

Jinx is a pink-haired, gray-skinned, doll-like teen girl who wields magic powers of her namesake which create bad luck for its targets. Though she gradually became more of a heroic character by the conclusion of Teen Titans and its tie-in comic book series, Jinx has been reverted to a villainous character for the new show.

Mammoth

[edit]

Mammoth is a feral and bestial leviathan with superhuman strength, though he appears less like a mammoth and more like a smilodon. He is regularly featured as a member of the H.I.V.E. Five, as he was before in Teen Titans.

Billy Numerous

[edit]

Billy Numerous is a member of the H.I.V.E. Five with the ability to generate clones of himself. He wears a red bodysuit with a division symbol on its chest as well as on the soles of its boots.

Like the other members of the H.I.V.E. Five, Billy first appears in "Super Robin,"[8] loading a truck with the money bags from a bank they are robbing. The Teen Titans arrives to stop them; he attempts to outnumber and overpower Starfire, but he and his clones are quickly incinerated by her star bolts. Numerous is also seen with the H.I.V.E. Five when they return in "Artful Dodgers;"[9] though they end up captured by the Titans following a robbery of a museum, Billy later appears as an alternate alongside See-More on the "H.I.V.E. Fivers" dodge-ball team. Billy would return with his fellow H.I.V.E. Five members in "Power Moves;"[10] though he would try to outnumber the duo of Beast Boy and Cyborg, he and his duplicates would be defeated by their "Thunder Alley K-O" power move. In "No Power,"[11] he returns with the H.I.V.E. Five for yet another bank robbery; though she was barred from using her superpowers at the time due to a bet with Robin, Raven manages to defeat a duo of Billy clones using her walker as a weapon.

Billy Numerous would again accompany the H.I.V.E. Five in their latest crime spree upon their relocation to Gotham City during "Sidekick;"[12] though seen enamored by the light show generated by the Ultimate Batarang, he and a series of his clones are defeated, seen mounted to walls by Batarangs after attempting to flee. Numerous also makes a non-physical cameo in "Caged Tiger,"[6] seen in one of the many images which line the interior of the Titans Tower elevator. Billy appears with the H.I.V.E. Five again in "Breakfast Cheese,"[13] and is ruthlessly pummeled for loitering near a "No Loitering" sign; he does the same to the Titans later in the episode, but is eventually won over by their kindness. In "Opposites,"[14] he aids in a H.I.V.E. Five bank robbery before becoming a crime-fighter in an attempt to accommodate Jinx's relationship with Cyborg. As the Teen Titans infiltrate and mitigate the destruction of the H.I.V.E. Headquarters during "In And Out,"[15] Billy and his clones end up moving into Titans Tower. Numerous would be swiftly defeated yet again by the Titans after a bank robbery in "Money Grandma."[16]

See-More

Another member of the H.I.V.E. Five, See-More is a young African-American male wearing a helmet with multiple interchangeable super-powered eyeballs.

Slade

Slade is a masked supervillain and the archenemy of the Teen Titans, who is referenced and has brief cameos multiple times in the show before making his first speaking appearance as the main antagonist in Teen Titans Go! To the Movies.
