The
Thousand-and-One Dooms of Mr. Twister
A schism divided the town of Hatton Corner's between
the adults and the teenagers. When the adults attempted
to enact a curfew, the teenagers invited Robin, Kid
Flash, and Aqualad to represent them. When they arrived,
the trio found that all the teenagers were gone, and
a phony note was left. The three split up to investigate.
A tornado hit the small town while Robin talked to
the people. He herded them into a bank vault to stay
safe from the twister, but he was picked up by the
winds. Kid Flash returned in time to save him from
a fall. The tornado dissipated and revealed Mr. Twister
(actually a disgruntled townsman named Brom Stikk
who'd somehow gained the ability to affect weather).
Mr. Twister told the town they'd never see their teenagers
again unless his demands were met.
Robin inquired as to what debt Stikk referred to and
was given a tale of the town's beginnings: one of
Stikk's ancestors donated the land for the town in
return for one passenger pigeon feather per year for
him and his descendants. When he died, the bargain
was forgotten. Brom heard this and demanded back pay,
but passenger pigeons had been extinct for years.
The town was unable to live up to the bargain.
Robin took his friends to the local airport, where
they found some leads from the night the kids vanished.
On nearby Goat Island, they found what they were looking
for: Mr. Twister was using the children as slaves
to build a monument in his honor. When Mr. Twister
left to replenish his powers in an ancient Indian
cave, Robin followed him. Twister, using his magic,
easily defeated Robin and deposited him back in the
town with another ransom note. Kid Flash helped the
kids finish the monument. Aqualad made a strange discovery
- the island was only being held up by a small piece
of land. He commanded some whales to move the island
in hopes that Mr. Twister could not find his way back.
When he learned his captives were free of danger,
Mr. Twister attacked the town of Hatton Corners. His
first attack, a sand storm, was thwarted by Kid Flash.
He next attacked with a flood, but Aqualad was able
to command sea life and stop it. Mr. Twister then
rained fire onto the town. Kid Flash and Aqualad were
taken down, leaving Robin and the townspeople to go
against the villain. Robin was able to grab and destroy
Mr. Twister's magic staff. Without it, he was powerless.
With the threat ended, the town's teenagers returned
- both they and the adults had a better understanding
of each other after the ordeal.
The
Astounding Separated Man
The Teen Titans were called in when Separated Man
attacked a small city. Midville was celebrating their
first "Teen Day," where teens were running
the city for 24 hours. The mayor of this day's father
was suspected to be the Separated Man. Robin, Aqualad,
Kid Flash, and Wonder Girl arrived to help out.
The Titans led the town's kids against the Separated
Man and found Professor Brian Holmes - the creator
of the creature, and escaped convict. Holmes told
them his serum had been stolen by his cellmate, who'd
been released on parole. The man was destroying the
city in hopes of finding the professor's secret lab.
They had to find the Separated Man's torso in order
to inject it's heart with the anti-serum. Wonder Girl
went after an ear in hopes of following it to the
heart, but was attacked by the mouth.
Wonder Girl got away by plugging the mouth with a
billboard. After the right ear heard the professor
telling Robin where his secret lab was, the Separated
Man put himself together and went after the serum.
The Teen Titans got to the un-Seperated Man and, with
the help of some whales, injected him with the anti-serum.
Professor Holmes and his cellmate returned to jail.
The
Return of the Teen Titans
The Flips, a hit music sensation, were accused of
robbery after a concert. Though they denied it, eyewitnesses
said they saw a wall-riding motorcycle and a flying
surfboard - trademarks of the band. The Teen Titans
were called in to the next city the Flips were to
play in order to guarantee no crimes would be committed
by the group.
The Flips broke free, grabbed their gear, and robbed
a nearby bank. The Titans eventually dragged them
in.
By locking the band up and assuming their identities,
the Teen Titans were able to draw out the impostors
when they tried to snatch the gate at the concert.
The impostors were arrested and the real Flips put
on their concert.
The
Beast-God of Xochatan!
The Teen Titans were invited to Washington, DC. There,
they were told of some strange happenings in a South
American location called Xochatan. They joined the
Peace Corps so they could help out. When parachuting
in, they spotted a giant robot conquistador and attacked
it.
Robin hit it with a few smoke grenades and it seemingly
vanished into a mountain. Later, the Peace Corps bulldozer
attacked them. Aqualad and Wonder Girl got it out
of the river (it was being used to create a dam for
the upcoming flood season); Robin realized the break
lever was hot - just like the mountain before. Kid
Flash vibrated himself into the mountain, where he
found the robot. It broke loose, and they trapped
it. Believing the threat was over, the Teen Titans
and Peace Corps continued building the dam. Kid Flash
was attacked by a beast that was part human, part
jaguar.
Kid Flash and Wonder Girl trapped the beast in a maze
just before another beast attacked - this one with
the body of an eagle. Wonder Girl was able to attach
the beast to a boulder with her lasso, then Robin
was attacked by a serpent beast. Aqualad followed
them into the river and freed his friend. As the waters
reached the top of an ancient pyramid, the true villain
showed himself - a wealthy land owner who was thought
to be dead. He'd holed up in the pyramid for a long
time and was trying to scare the Peace Corps away
from submerging his home.
The
Million-Year-Old Teenager
The Teen Titans received a distress call from a girl
named Penny in the town of Smedleyville. Her new friend
was thought to be in league with a giant who'd been
plaguing their town.
The Titans arrived in time to see the giant attacking
a school bus. Garn, the strange new boy, was fighting
it. The giant threw a magic ax; Wonder Girl went after
it. It eluded her and caused the Titan's helicopter
to crash. The Titans survived and regrouped in a nearby
cave. Garn told them the story of the giant who'd
destroyed his village. Battling, the two were buried
in an avalanche for a million years. Only recently
had they escaped their icy tomb.
Robin received a transmission and they headed to a
construction site where the giant was destroying equipment
with his magic ax. Garn battled the giant while the
Titans were attacked by his ax. When they were free,
the ancient battlers had made it into the river below.
Aqualad found them below the surface - the giant damaged
the dam. He was able to save Garn. Kid Flash was able
to divert the river away from the city. The Titans
explained to the town that the giant was dead and
Garn had helped rid them of the menace.
The
Revolt at Harrison High
Batman and Robin went after some bank robbers in a
hot rod. The Batmobile was no match for the converting
car. They went back to the cave to investigate; Robin
and the rest of the Teen Titans were called to Washington.
The National Committee on Drop-Outs asked the Titans
to check out a town called Harrison, where the drop-out
rate was huge. Once there, they found that the drop
outs were getting good jobs at a hot-rod building
facility just outside town.
The team split up and followed cars coming out of
the factory. The one Kid Flash tailed was a drone.
He stopped it from hitting a school bus. Wonder Girl
and Aqualad were injured by the ones they followed.
Robin went in to snoop. He was captured by the owner
and placed on a run-away motorcycle. He was able to
wreck it safely and was rescued by Wonder Girl, who'd
shaken off the electric shock she'd received from
the car she trailed. The team regrouped.
Disguised as regular kids, the Titans got jobs at
the hot-rod garage. Robin was able to uncover the
info needed, and all the kids turned on their crooked
boss who'd been outfitting criminal organizations
with the cars they were making.
The
Secret Olympic Heroes
Speedy met with the Teen Titans to let them know the
criminal organization known as Diablo was out to sabotage
the Olympics. One of the US's biggest track stars
was missing. They were able to find the boy, but he
did not want to compete - he didn't want to fail his
father who'd lost his own chance to be in the Olympics
years before due to a car accident. The Titans convinced
him to join them at the Olympics in disguise.
Shortly after getting there, they foiled two Diablo
attacks - one at an autograph signing, another at
the Olympic village where agents tried to lure competitors
into a fight. Davey, the kid who'd vanished in order
to stay out of the limelight, secretly trained and
bumped into his father.
Aqualad found some more Diablo agents in the training
pool and was captured. The rest of the team were captured
trying to stop Diablo attempts. They were placed in
the rings of the Olympic logo as Speedy prepared to
practice lighting them. Davey was able to stop him
before he barbecued his friends. Wonder Girl got the
team loosed from their bindings and they took down
the attacking Diablo agents Davey ran the next day
and placed for a bronze medal. His father was proud.
The
Perilous Capers of the Terrible Teen
A professor from a reform camp for juveniles called
the Teen Titans in. He suspected one of his former
pupils, Eddie Whit, was the mysterious Ant - a costumed
villain terrorizing a nearby town. The Titans ran
into the Ant after meeting with the professor. He
was able to deter both Robin and Wonder Girl before
leaping from a building onto a train.
The Titans found the boy and learned he was indeed
the Ant. They followed him and found out he appeared
to be doing it because he was being blackmailed by
his boss. The next caper for the Ant was at a local
charity picnic. He snatched the loot and made off
in one of the vans he'd arrived in. His younger brother
was driving and Kid Flash caught up with them. He
found out the Ant was trying to cover for his brother,
who he thought was in a gang. The brother split with
the gang when he saw Eddie. Kid Flash returned the
money to the picnic.
With Eddie's help, the Teen Titans set a trap for
the men who had been controlling him.
