Description
The Birth of The Titans
Starfire, aka Princess Koriand’r of the planet Tamaran, escapes from Commander Trogaar and his Gordanian slavers, and crash-lands on Earth. To help her, Raven, a mysterious young woman possessing empathic powers, reorganizes the disbanded Teen Titans. The heroes she recruits include Robin, Kid Flash, Wonder Girl, and Changeling (the former Beast Boy), plus a new member, Cyborg, a black, ex-athlete whose body has been rebuilt with mechanical parts. Together, the New Teen Titans battle the Gordanians in the United Nations Plaza, but fail to prevent the recapture of Starfire. Invading the aliens’ ship, the Titans rescue Starfire, and Cyborg and Changeling sabotage their craft, causing it to explode.
