Synopsis for "The Astounding Separated Man"

Now organized as the Teen Titans, Robin, Kid Flash, Aqualad, and Wonder Girl respond to a call for help from the teenagers of Midville. The youngsters' "Teen Government for a Day" project is violently disrupted by the re-appearance of the Separated Man, a gigantic being able to separate his body parts, the creation of Professor Brian Holmes, father of the young "mayor for a day." The revived menace is actually Jake Trask, the professor's former prison cellmate, who has stolen the scientist's molecular formula and used it on himself, but the citizens of Midville believe the creature to be a transformed Professor Holmes, as was the case when the Separated Man previously appeared. With the aid of the professor and the Midville teenagers, the Teen Titans are able to subdue the Separated Man long enough to administer an antidote which restores him to normal.

Notes

  • This issue is the first canonical appearance of the Teen Titans. Some sources credit Brave and the Bold #54 as the first appearance of the Titans, but they are not identified as the Teen Titans at that time. Since this is the first actual appearance of the Titans as a group, Wonder Girl may be considered as founding member rather than a recruit. The Teen Titans appear next as a group in Showcase #59.
  • The Wonder Girl that appears in this issue is not to be confused with young Princess Diana who often shared in time-traveling adventures with her older and younger selves as Wonder Girl. When the Teen Titans team dynamic was first conceived, the creative staff were unaware that Wonder Girl was actually just a younger version of Wonder Woman and not a separate character. In the history of the Titans, Wonder Girl is treated as a separate individual. This innocent mishap of mistaken identities eventually evolved into a perpetuating continuity quagmire for the character - one that would go through several revisions over the years depending upon the creative team charged with handling her at the time. Wonder Girl's given name, Donna Troy, will not be revealed until Teen Titans #22. Donna's orgin is expanded upon in New Teen Titans (Volume 1) #38 in a story entitled "Who is Donna Troy". Her back-story evolves even further in the five-part "Who is Wonder Girl" storyline from New Titans #50-55. Wonder Girl makes a chronologically earlier appearance in Teen Titans #4. She appears next in Showcase #59.


Trivia

  • Kid Flash's costume is mis-colored throughout the course of this issue.
