Description
The Fearsome Five
Dr. Light recruits his own super-team of villains, including Mammoth, Shimmer, Gizmo, and Psimon, to battle the New Teen Titans. Meanwhile, Starfire relates to her teammates the story of how she was sold into slavery as a child to end a war that had ravaged her home planet. Raven abruptly appears and sends the Titans into an inconclusive battle with the newly-formed Fearsome Five. She then discovers that one of the villains, Psimon, is secretly an agent of Trigon, the menace she had originally organized the Titans to battle. Later, as the Titans investigate the “Titans Tower” headquarters which has been built for them by parties unknown, Raven reveals a connection between Trigon’s planned takeover of Earth and the heroes of the Justice League of America. Before they can act on this information, all the Titans except Raven are defeated and captured in a second battle with the Fearsome Five.
