Airing on the DC Universe streaming service, Titans has been a hit with critics and fans alike. Over the first two seasons, viewers have been introduced to a team that broke apart after a tragedy, and the new team forming from the ashes after many years. As Dick Grayson, who recently gave up his Robin identity to become Nightwing, tries to hold the new team together, outside forces work against him to tear them apart.
A third season is planned, and fans are excited to see where the story of the Titans will go, and which new characters fans will get to meet.
10 Join: Impulse
One thing Titans could use is a hero who can help lighten the mood some, and there are few teen heroes as fun as Impulse. The grandson of the second Flash who was sent back in time to learn to use his powers, Impulse was raised in a virtual reality world, and sometimes he forgets that he isn't still in there.
Introducing Impulse to Titans would bring in a powerset that the show is missing, as well as some levity to the rather grim series. Impulse would also fill the whole missing by Kid Flash, a founding member of the Titans in the comics.
9 Stay Away: Gnarrk
Gnarrk has been introduced into the DC universe three times, and each time he has died a tragic death. In the version that existed before Crisis on Infinite Earths, Gnarrk was a Neanderthal who somehow found himself in the present day and joined the Teen Titans. He fell in love with fellow Titan Lilith and the two left the team. Later it was revealed that Gnarrk had died, although we never learned how. In the post-Crisis universe, Gnarrk was found frozen in Asia and slowly died of an unknown disease.
In the New 52 universe, Gnarrk was a founding member of the Teen Titans before he went on to be killed by fellow founder and former Kid Flash Wally West at Sanctuary during Heroes in Crisis. Unless they need someone to quickly kill off, Gnarrk has no place on Titans.
8 Join: Arsenal
One of the first Titans, Arsenal used to be called Speedy when he was a teen hero. The sidekick of Green Arrow, Arsenal famously became addicted to drugs and has had little luck in his life right up to the moment of his death in Heroes in Crisis. Arsenal is mentioned on Titans, but he hasn't shown up yet. Chances are that if the show's writers are making sure to bring him up, he's bound to show up on screen sooner or later. Season three may be the best time to bring in the master archer and his baseball cap.
7 Stay Away: Offspring
First introduced in the alternate future miniseries Kingdom Come, Offspring is the son of Plastic Man and has the same powers as his dad. Offspring was revealed to have been a member of the Teen Titans during the "One Year Later" jump that followed Infinite Crisis and can be seen with the team during DC's epic miniseries 52.
Offspring was offered a spot on a new Teen Titans but declined to join, although he did show up to help the Titans when Superboy-Prime attacked them. While he's a fine idea for a character, Offspring has never really stood out, and stretching powers have never looked good, no matter how big the budget is.
6 Join: Joker's Daughter
With her true origins unknown, Joker's Daughter first tried to join the Teen Titans saying that she wanted to atone for her father's sins. While the Titans couldn't prove she was Joker's actual daughter, they decided against giving her a position on the team. After that, Joker's Daughter took on a variety of superhero identities, including Catwoman's Daughter and, oddly enough, Harlequin. Like Offspring, Joker's Daughter was revealed to have joined the Titans during the "One Year Later" period.
A character like Joker's Daughter could bring a fantastic dynamic to Titans. Viewers would be looking for hints as to whether she really is the daughter of the Clown Prince of Crime, or if she is just crazy. Both Nightwing and Robin would surely be wary of her, but would also want to help keep her from going down the path of the Joker.
5 Stay Away: Wendy, Marvin and Wonder Dog
Originally introduced on the Super Friends cartoon, Wendy, Marvin, and Wonder Dog were brought into the comics in 2006. Wendy and Marvin were revealed to be twins with 10th-level intellects who graduated MIT at 16 and were now the caretakers of Titans Tower. When Miss Martian brought a stray dog she found to the Titans base, she named it Wonder Dog before leaving Wendy and Marvin to care for it. In truth, Wonder Dog was a demon who worked for King Lycus. It killed Marvin and left Wendy in a coma.
4 Join: Crush
A newer character in the DC universe, Xiomara Rojas, aka Crush, is the daughter of the Main Man himself, Lobo. Crush shares not only the powers of her father but his lack of empathy for others. Crush was raised on Earth by two humans who were murdered shortly after Crush found out who her real father was. After spending a few years working in illegal fighting rings, Crush joined the Teen Titans hoping that Robin would be able to help her find the people who killed her adoptive parent. While Crush isn't one of the classic Titans, she is an interesting character, and her connection to the larger DC universe would give Titans a second alien character to play with.
3 Stay Away: Bombshell
After undergoing the same experiment as Captain Atom, Amy Sue Allen became Bombshell. She later joined the Titans but was revealed to be a traitor when she tried to kill Raven and steal a disc that contained the essence of the long-dead Titan Jericho. It is through Bombshell that the Teen Titans learn about Titans East, an evil version of the team created by Deathstroke to take the Titans down.
The idea of an evil Titans team is great, but there are better characters to choose from to use as the double agent for that kind of story. Plus, if they did use Bombshell, every comic reader would know where the story was going, and that would ruin it for them.
2 Join: Terra
Speaking of traitors, there is no more famous Teen Titans turncoat than Terra. The sister of Geo-Force, Terra met Deathstroke when she was fifteen and joined his crusade against the Titans. Deathstroke trained Terra and when the time was right, she joined the team. Terra set up the Titans to be captured by Deathstroke, and revealed her true intentions to the team, nearly killing everyone.
Terra's storyline in Teen Titans, "The Judas Contract", is arguably the best known Titans story and would make for a great third season. While fans of the comics will know what is happening, this would be one time they would be OK with that as long as the story is done well.
1 Stay Away: Hot Spot
A human/alien hybrid, Isaiah Crockett learned that he had the ability to raise the temperature of anything he touched. When he and other human/alien hybrids were abducted by the H'San Natall, they were saved by the Atom. Atom chose to create a team with these kids, and a new Teen Titans was formed. It was also quickly forgotten about, running just 15 issues. After Infinite Crisis, Hot Spot's powers were shown to have increased. He could now fly and fire blasts of heat at his enemies. Sadly, Hot Spot was also killed at Sanctuary during Heroes in Crisis. Since Starfire is already on Titans, there isn't much need for a second character who can heat up objects.
