The full membership of the Teen Titans, circa 1977, by the late, great George Perez.

This is from when there were two teams - Titans East (Robin, Kid Flash, Wonder Girl, Speedy, Aqualad, Guardian, Bumblebee, and Harlequin), and Titans West (Hawk, Dove, Lilith, Gnark, Bat-Girl, Golden Eagle, Beast Boy) - and before Perez and writer Marv Wolfman brought the concept to new heights with The New Teen Titans.

lmao Duela just wants to have fun ok!!! Teen Titans vol 3 #45

[judedeluca]

I wonder how many Titans fans know that Vogue and Shaft from Rob Liefeld's Youngblood are reconfigured versions of Duela Dent and Roy Harper from a failed pitch Liefeld made for a Titans comic in the early 90s

Duela in Teen Titans/Outsiders Secret Files and Origins

This comic from 2005 features Duela’s second major post-70s appearance. It doesn’t have a lot of plot or plot significance, and I don’t know who any of the other characters are. It’s basically just Duela messing with a bunch of people about her parentage - unlike a lot of her 99/00s appearances, I do get the impression that it’s a joke or a game for her, not her being legitimately delusional. And her design is just absolutely adorable here. She’s got her classic outfit, and a really cute face and hairstyle.

So we start with the bad guys being confused because she’s at a bad guy hang-out playing pool and claiming to be a Teen Titan.

As in the original comics, she first claims to be the Joker’s daughter. And points out, correctly, that being a supervillain’s kid and a hero are not mutually exclusive.

Punch and Jewelee do have a child, but it’s a son. Love Deadshot playing the reindeer, here. Also love that apparently Duela’s been wearing the same outfit her entire life.

We touch on Duela’s age thing here, for the first time since the 80s. She’s currently claiming to be 19, so roughly the same age as in her original, 70s appearances; she was never given an official age, but was a college student, so presumably somewhere around here. She looks so cute in the last panel!

Another character points out she’s supposed to be older than that, and she claims to have been in a Lazarus Pit.

Next we come back around to her original backstory - Two Face’s daughter. Interesting how she had a normal skin tone as Punch and Jewelee’s daughter, but this baby picture is white. While the dialogue bubble goes with the original “He wanted twins,” the thought bubble seems to be suggesting Two-Face’s wife cheated on him.

The bad guys are getting really frustrated with her antics.

And then she claims her dad is Dr. Light. That’s a really cute picture, too. A guy tries to grab her, and she says “Do you know who my father is?”

Well, for this page, Dr. Light, apparently.

The return of Duela’s bubble gum. And I love the last panel. She looks like she’s having so much fun!

And having won that little fight, she walks out with a mention of her mother. Also, allegedly, a supervillain.

I just really enjoy this comic. It’s cute, it’s fun, Duela is having a good time and leaning into her parent gimmick without coming off crazy. Since there are no other Titans in the comic, there’s no frustration about how her relationship with them has changed over time. She’s wearing her classic outfit, without the updates to make it more revealing or edgy.

This is the design I’m using for my third Duela doll, BTW.

Teen Titans East (Robin, Wonder Girl, Kid Flash, Aqualad, Bumblebee, Guardian, Speedy, and Harlequin) and Teen Titans West (Bat-Girl, Lilith, Gnarkk, Beast Boy, Hawk, Dove, and Golden Eagle) pose for a commemorative photograph in Teen Titans (vol. 1) #52 (December, 1977). Art by Don Heck and Bob Smith; colors by Jerry Serpe; letters by Milt Snappin.

This was the penultimate issue of the series, the cancellation of which had already been announced. The following issue would be the last, featuring Bumblebee and Guardian looking through a casebook to learn the untold tale of the formation of the team. When Bumblebee and Guardian finish the other members arrive to announce that the Teen Titans are being disbanded so the members can purse their own solo careers.

That didn't last long, though, as the team would be back in 1980 under new management - Marvel Wolfman and George Perez - as the New Teen Titans.

Hey, I know he's not technically canon but what would Cade look like in his adult body? Would he have an exposed heart like his dad? Or any particular style of fashion? I wanna see him fully grown next to his parents and see how tall his adult body is. And what about his teen stage? I vaguely remember you said that there were three main body changes, child, teen and adult. (Not forced or anything just curious about what Cade would look like as a big boy/fully grown harlequin.) ^^

I make a non-canon fanchild once and you all go crazy huh /j

Cade's development through the years could be summarized by this poorly drawn chart (that doesn't even cover ALL the changes but that's a story for another day) but it IS the base child-teen-adult progression.

Young Cade is quite the troublemaker; not fully in a bad sense, he's just very hyperactive and easy to be excited. He's also the embodiment of childish wonders and curiosity, so he's the happiest he can be if shown something new and amazing.

Teen Cade.... well, he's become a bit of a rebel because ofc he would be. Who wasn't. He thinks his mom is "babying" him, when no. Pomni's just become increasingly paranoid on how to handle the unfolding situation of her son growing up, and wanting to break things like her in her uncontrolled prime.

He's also become the most reckless and stubborn he'll ever be, answering back passive-aggressively and raising his tone against his parents when they're trying to talk some sense into him, going out on his own accord and even REFUSING to wear the tracker bell that would let Caine know his location for safety purposes.

Thankfully, Adult Cade has realized the errors of his cringe emo teen self and is back to being a happy, active and mischievous Puppet. He's become an official defender of the city, befit of the title of a Combat Harlequin. Although his relationship with his parents are no longer strained and is as healthy as can be, there's an intrusive thought lodged in his head somewhere that insists that he's not being a good son (considering his track record), how he's not living up to expectations because he hasn't done anything grandeur like both his mom and dad has in their pasts, nor achieved something worth celebrating.

He does realize that it's not the achievements he's worried about, but rather, it's actually his dream to travel the world and detail his exploits. Something that both his parents will have to come to terms with, because this means that their son wants to leave the nest and be on his own.

Now, for what you've been waiting for anon, here's Adult Cade side by side with Pomni and Caine, although this is their current looks and not their post-canon's, so-

He's slightly taller than both of them lol

My Joker’s Daughter Duela Dent is finished! That green blouse alone took me two hours - I really hate doll sewing. Could have made a me blouse in that time. Body is Disney descendants. I think the shoes are too - I repainted them a little from solid purple. Head is from a hocus pocus doll. I don’t remember whose hands I used.
