List of Titans from start to Finish Number 4-Wonder Girl/Doona Tory


Wonder Girl made her 1st appearance in Brave and the Bold #60 (July 1965) this is also when she joined the Titans as it's 4th member

Story: Wonder Girl was a mistake and I don't mean that she was a bad character on the contrary I love the character she's my 2nd favorite member of the Titans. I mean she was made by accident as the story goes the writers of the Teen Titans books wanted a female member on the team and saw a Wonder Woman issue where Wonder Woman was fighting alongside a character called Wonder Girl what they didn't know was that Wonder Girl was actually a younger version of Wonder Woman this would cause the writers to come up with all kinds of strange origins for the character that would lead to the character becoming the most confusing Superheroes in the whole DCU.

                          Becomes Wonder Woman in World War III #2 (June 2007)
 
Current status:
Another awesome character struck down by the New 52
I am starting to think DC may hate the Teen Titans.

Forms the Titans alongside Robin and Kid Flash in Brave and the Bold #54 (1964)
First appearance as Tempest in Tempest #2 (December 1996)
Current Status-
Garth has yet to appear in the New 52 but he has been mentioned which I guess is a better treatment then most Titans get but still it'd be nice to actually see him rather then just hear about him.

With the launch of the New 52 Wally West no longer exists in the DCU it is unclear if DC plans on brining him back.

New 52: Ravagers #1 Review

That funny I don't recall Fairchild running around in her undies in this issue
Ravagers #1 (July 2012)
Writer: Howard Mackie
Artist: Ian Churchill

Story:
Following the events of the Culling we are introduced to our main characters Caitlin Fairchild Thunder and Lightning a red Beast Boy and Terra who are being pursued by WarBlade and Rose Wilson who are eager to see them dead. The team escapes their pursuers only to turn on each other Beast Boy and Terra go out on their own while the others choose to stick together after some more conflict the team encounters a group of soldiers who say they no longer wish to fight. Lightning doesn't accept this and attempts to murder the soldiers the other members follow suit all except for Fairchild who is able to end the conflict by telling her pals that is they kill unarmed soldiers they will be no better ten the one's they fight the issue ends with the party being attacked by Wilson and WarBlade.

Review:
 the good:I like that Fairchild is still the noble Goody Good she's always been which you'd think would be nothing special in the DCU but lately with the New 52 it seems like a law that all  heroes must now be jackasses so it's nice to see someone that still has some understanding of how to be a hero  it's also nice to see that dc's still trying to push the Wildstorm characters rather then just abandoning them to comic book limbo.
The Bad:Boy do feel sorry for the poor sap who bough this book for Beast Boy and Terra yea they leave on the 5th page that's pretty bad when you realize they where the 2 most recognizable characters on the team and probably the reason most people got the book.
Final Verdict: I give it a 7 out of 10 if your a Gen 13 fan I say pick it up but otherwise just avoid it there's far better titles out there to be reading.
