Fighting for truth, justice and the last slice of pizza, these five superheroes are living proof you're never too young to save the planet. Protecting Earth and beyond, the Teen Titans use martial arts and gadgetry to battle villains.
Teen Titans recap
Robin, Batman's former partner, leads a team of young heroes who live in Titans Tower, a T-shaped building on an island near Jump City: Starfire, an alien princess learning Earth customs; Cyborg, half human, half machine; Raven, a quiet half-demon who keeps her emotions locked down; and Beast Boy, a jokey green shapeshifter. Episodes mix silly comedy with serious superhero drama, and each season has its own story arc. Season 1 introduces the mastermind Slade, who becomes Robin's obsession. Season 2 follows Terra, an earth-mover who joins the team, falls for Beast Boy and betrays them for Slade, before sacrificing herself and turning to stone. Season 3 focuses on Cyborg and the H.I.V.E.; season 4 on Raven's father, the demon Trigon, and her destiny to destroy the world; and season 5 on Beast Boy and the Brotherhood of Evil, which hunts young heroes worldwide. The show runs from 2003 to 2006.
