Titans Predictions

xspoilerx already gave his predictions on who we'd be seeing in Meltzer's upcoming Justice League of America, so I thought I'd share my predictions for an upcoming line-up in John's Teen Titans.

From the solicitations for the next three months we know the new team will feature Robin (revealed to be Tim Drake), Beast Boy, & Wonder Girl (in a new costume). So who else could be on the team?

1. Vic Stone/Cyborg

Robin's good w/ tech & he's primed to be the best tactition on the team. So what role does Cyborg play? He's the heart, soul, & nervous system of the team. He is to the Titans what J'onn J'onz/Martian Manhunter is to the League. I believe that we will be seeing more of Robin & Wonder Girl in the books that they were spawned from w/ stronger ties to their mentors than ever before. But who is going to provide as a mentor to overall team, giving them a direction & an approach/attitude towards the mission w/in the context of the collective & the legacy? Stone. I do think that his experience is invaluable to the team & we will be seeing more of him.

2. Raven

I think Raven, in many ways, is the antithesis Cyborg, but serves a function of equal importance. Where Stone's primary skill is his ability to interact w/ technology & analyse w/ cold reason, the source of Raven's powers is raw emotion. Also, every superhero team needs a resident mystic.

3. Rose Wilson/Ravager

In the Titans of Tomorrow story we saw Ravager as a member of the rival Titans East, & although we do know that there will be a Titans East in upcoming issues, I think Ravager will side w/ our Titans for at least the immediate future. I know, most of you are thinking, but isn't that Deathstroke's daughter? Well, in the most recent Nightwing story, she turned her back on Slade because she found out that she was inevitably going to die of cancer contracted from the kryptonite eye her father gave her. W/ Robin growing increasingly darker & more like Batman due to recent events, I'd think he'd want to have a weapon against Superboy-Prime as well. Also, doesn't it just sets up so nicely for a second "Judas Contract"?
