The Teen Titans were the first teenage superteam and set the standard for every one to come after it. The team has gone through a lot of changes over the years, usually combining known sidekick characters with newer teenage superheroes. The current incarnation combines sidekicks Damian Wayne and Kid Flash with new characters like Red Arrow, Djinn, Roundhouse, and Crush.
The Titans' greatest enemy has always been Deathstroke and in his schemes to destroy the team, he brought together the villainous Titans East - Batgirl (Cassandra Cain), Bombshell, Duela Dent, Enigma, Inertia, Kid Crusader, Match, Risk, and Sun Girl. This team was meant to trump the Titans of the time and is full of powerful individuals. So which team has the better line-up - the Teen Titans or Titans East?
11 Teen Titans: They Have A Genie
Djinn being on the Teen Titans is kind of weird. She looks like she's a teenager, but she's actually 4000 years old. Damian Wayne is known for being meticulous about things, so it's weird that he'd make the mistake of putting a 4000 year old on a teenage team.
However, when one looks at just how much power Djinn brings to the team, it's easy to see why he made that mistake - she can shapeshift, teleport, fly, and manipulate reality to an extent. With power look that, it makes sense that Damian would overlook a little thing like age.
10 Titans East: They Have Captain Atom Jr.
Created using the same alien quantum metal that gave Captain Atom his amazing powers, Bombshell is easily one of the most powerful members of the Titans East. She's super strong, invulnerable, can fly, and fire powerful blasts of energy. She can also use that energy to scramble people's minds and control electromagnetic technology.
She was also trained by the US military, meaning on top of being amazingly powerful, she's also a very skilled fighter who has been trained to use her powers tactically.
9 Teen Titans: Play Ball!
Roundhouse seems super lame at first look - he can change his shape into a ball. With powers like those, visions of one of the more useless members of the Legion Of Superheroes, Bouncing Boy, dance through the air. However, he can turn into of ball of just about anything, like fire, ice, or iron, making his powers much more useful.
When in ball form he's much stronger and faster and his durability is amazing - dude was able to withstand a nuclear blast. He's way more than meets the eye.
8 Titans East: Some Solid Second Stringers
Deathstroke put a lot of powerful people in the Titans East, but he also included some less powerful members as well. These less powerful members were Duela Dent, Enigma, and Kid Crusader. Duela Dent was known as Joker's Daughter and was a highly skilled combatant, Enigma was Riddler's daughter and nearly as talented as her father at riddles, and Kid Crusader brought occult skills to the table.
While these three aren't the greatest, they bring solid skills to the table.
7 Teen Titans: Queen Of The Bow
The current Red Arrow is Emiko Queen, daughter of Green Arrow's father Robert Queen and the ninja assassin Shado. Her mother started her training when she was very young; she's an expert martial artist and is a natural with her bow and arrow.
Her acrobatic skills allow her to dodge just about any attacks and her half brother admitted that she was a better archer than he is. She may not have any superpowers but she's still one of the most dangerous teenage superheroes around.
6 Titans East: Faux Boy Of Steel
Deathstroke was pulling out all the stops when he was creating the Titans East and needed someone who could go toe to toe with heavy hitters like Wonder Girl, Cyborg, and Starfire. He was able to get his hands on Match, who was a clone of the at the time dead Superboy.
While not as powerful as Superboy, he was still a formidable threat and one that would be very hard to deal with for the current team.
5 Teen Titans: Justice Like Lightning
Kid Flash is easily one of the most powerful members of the Teen Titans. Empowered by the Speed Force, Wallace West is the cousin of the first Kid Flash and the third Flash, Wally West, and was trained to use his powers by Barry Allen.
Kid Flash is probably the fastest Kid Flash to ever wear the costume, mastering Speed Force abilities that it took the other Kid Flashes longer to learn. He's even been able to push past the speed of light already. Kid Flash's power gives him a huge advantage over just about any non-speedster he fights.
4 Titans East: Flash Killer
Inertia is a clone of Bart Allen, the second Kid Flash and fourth Flash. However, unlike Bart, Inertia can't tap into the Speed Force. Instead, his abilities allow him to manipulate the flow of time around him - he's technically moving at regular speed but is slowing down time so much that he's moving much faster than those around him.
This ability has allowed him to outclass the fastest Flash, Wally West. He even led the Rogues in a battle against Bart when he was the Flash, killing him. In Inertia, Deathstroke has the perfect anti-Kid Flash weapon.
3 Teen Titans: Son Of The Bat
Damian Wayne is the current Robin and probably one of the most skilled people to wear the costume. The son of Batman and Talia al Ghul, he was trained from birth to be a peerless combatant, skilled tactician, and shrewd detective. Damian's only weakness is his arrogance but he has the skills to back his boasts up most of the time.
He's not much of a people person, but he's a great leader and has led the current incarnation of the Teen Titans well.
2 Titans East: Two Of The Best Fighter Ever
The Titans East are led by Deathstroke and Batgirl, Cassandra Cain, and that duo is going to be a big problem for any team even without any help. Deathstroke's superhuman physical abilities make him tough, but it's his amazing brainpower that makes him so dangerous - he uses 90% of his brain.
Batgirl was trained by some of the greatest martial artists in the world and is easily their equal, if not superior. Although Deathstroke was using a drug to control her, it didn't impede her amazing fighting skills.
1 Winner: Titans East
The new roster of Teen Titans is very powerful, with members like Djinn, Kid Flash, and Crush (Lobo's daughter) acting as heavy hitters for the group. However, Deathstroke built his team to counter one of the most powerful Teen Titans line-up of them all and the current team just can't stand up to the kind of power the Titans East bring to the table. Combined that with Deathstroke's tactical acumen and the Titans East are superior.
