#Team Titans

//TW talks of SA\\

Something i thing is so not talked about in DC is the fact that Dick Grayson has been SAed twice.

The first time happening when a teammate (Mirage) took on the appearance of Kori and mislead Dick into sleeping with her (something else messed up is that Kori actually slut shamed him for this)

The Second hapoeneing when Dick was frozen, he had just had a terrible day and had poison in his system and was taken advantage of in his state, even though you see him telling her (Tarantula) not to touch him.

I just think that this is such a fucked up and traumatising part of Dick Grayson that is overlooked. I think part of it has to do with the fact that male SA isn't spoken about which is really fucked up

My honest reaction

I'll never get over how the Team Titans characters were introduced in the 90s & the writer immediately torpedoed them by making them problematic.

Like...

Why have Mirage use her illusion powers to SA Nightwing, disguised as Starfire? [around issue #2; btw, Marv Wolfman, the writer, is also responsible for the ugliness between Deathstroke & Terra]

And why make Killowatt a Southern racist?? [around issue #14, #15ish]

Ntm, including a clone of Terra, after the original had just been violated by Deathstroke & died in the course of the New Teen Titans "Judas Contract" arc.

Just...the fans apparently were cool with it at the time, (the comic ran for 20-some-odd issues), but in the time since, I could imagine writers seeing them as too toxic/problematic to use in a story, aside from brief cameos.

And it's a shame, cause if not for those awful aspects of the characters, each had interesting potential within Titans / Teen Titans mythos (but especially, for me, Mirage, as a Native American DC Comics superhero, smh).

I hate the whole Lord Chaos arc, but at least it gave us this incredible panel:

i am fully aware that dick and future!dick are fundamentally different people from different timelines, but i personally love the idea that dick's quote unquote most authentic, least inhibited self should have every sadosexual piercing imaginable. look at that man. nothing could fix him. except, mayhaps, a jacob's ladder.
