Danny Chase should have been an option

I’m going to go with Donna Troy as well. But, under the reasoning of Most Untapped Potential.

They could have turned her into her own hero with the post-Crisis continuity, but poor communication prevented that. And, since then she is the one who has really contributed least to the ongoing DCU.

Also, I can’t help but point out that she is the character not seen in the Teen Titans animated series. And yet, no one really missed her, did they?

The goofy “garter” design of Cyborg’s bionic legs.
Granted, the “Oscar” version was just dumb looking, but the revived-classic design should just stick with straight-ahead metal legs (I think that’s what they do now, isn’t it?).

I voted for Wally “I’ve Never Met a Commie I Didn’t Want To Sneer At Even When His Fiance Was The Victim Of A Rather Nasty Government Plot And Died On The Day They Were Supposed To Be Married” West.

Those Terry Long links are hilarious!

It’s interesting that Wally West had 3 or 4 radically different characterizations in his career.

I didn’t read any of the pre-Crisis Flash comic, so I can’t say how he was depicted there. But in Teen Titans he was the melancholic regular joe that only wanted a normal life away from superheroics. In his solo title under Mike Baron and later Messner-Loebs he enjoyed being a superhero, but his sensitivity was mostly gone and he was arrogant with Mike Baron and well-meaning but slightly goofy with Messner-Loebs and BOTH arrogant and totally goofy in the JLI. Later with Mark Waid he became a responsible, resourceful, everyman superhero.

Changeling. Always found him to be the most obnoxious of the bunch.

I couldn’t vote for Wally, because he became one of my favorites over the years. If you just go from NTT, and nothing else, he’s clearly the biggest downer. Of course his powers were killing him at the time, so he had cause. Also, Marv has pretty much admitted that he didn’t want him in the book, because logically his powers should enable him to solve any problem in under a second.

I finally voted for Raven because Danny Chase wasn’t an option.

I voted for Gar and the reason isn’t because I hate him personally. It is because like Iceman in X-Men, for every creator that makes strides with the character, there are 2 or 3 who always regress the character back to “normal”. He’s unfortunately pegged as DC’s Pinocchio and that sucks…

Raven, the biggest buzzkill of them all. She ushered in the age of “heavy mystics”, where all supernatural characters had to be moody, dark, and the death of fun. When she was gone after her daddy went apeshit and nearly destroyed the world, Lilith took her place as the Debbie Downer of the titans. Why in the world would a psychic go-go dancer named Lilith Jupiter have to be such a drag, too??? Also, Terry Long WAS a total pain in the ass.

Love Wally West, but in New Teen Titans, he was just such a downer.

He was dead weight in this book, dragging the pace of the series.

Cyborg. It was him or Raven. (I always had a crush on Wonder Girl, as drawn by Perez.)

Cyborg was always my least favorite character; He always seemed out of place. From his “angry black youth” to his “angry monster” personality, and the fact that it always seemed strange to me that all these villains (like, say, super-mercenary/assassin Deathstroke) never once thought about attacking his “human bits.” He always seemed clunky in comparison to the other Titans, slowing them down just so he could plug in his one-trick “White Noise Blaster” or whatever it was.

Kid Flash DID tend to whine alot. That’s why he got my vote.

Who in the New Teen Titans DIDN’T whine a lot? That being said, out of all the whiners Kid Flash came off as the whiniest.

I like them all. I voted for Kid Flash only because although there’ve been some great stories told with him, he strikes me as the least original, least inspired creation.

I’m not sure I can vote on this. These comics came out before I was born but I can still appreciate the run. I rather like Cyborg and Changeling in particular. Starfire did the least for me but I certainly didn’t dislike her. How ’bout I just vote for Terry Long?

“What is with all the loathing for Terry Long? He was just a normal guy who managed to bag himself a super-chic. Isn’t that what every fanboy dreams of? Is everyone jealous of Terry, or did he turn into a lame-ass super-villian when I wasn’t looking?”

Check these links out and you’ll understand all the Terry Long loathing. It’s fully deserved.

“Other than Dick Grayson, are any of these characters even around these days?”

Donna Troy was a major player in Countdown, which is why I voted for her.
