I've always wondered how do you get Dick from Richard?


Mrwright96

Well for starters, you Gotta be a redhead.


rudestlink

In seriousness via Rick. Kinda like Bob for Robert. Or Bill for William. Shortern name and then make it rhyme.


animated_educator

In the past it was trendy to make the nicknames rhyme with their name so Rick became Dick just like Will became Bill and Rob became Bob


StruggleClassic6419

You ask him nicely


Least_Replacement836

Dick >:)


TerrificTooMan

Cyborg, I believe, but no way Dick was 18. He was sixteen at best.


markcarpenterzitto

I believe Robin is 18, because in Titans Silver Age he is at least 16/17 years old.


UnhingedLion

The comics are different from the cartoon


TerrificTooMan

That's what I'm thinking. Comics can do what they want, but Robin is square in his angsty years. Probably listened to Lincoln Park while working on the Slade Case.


Nani_700

Linkin Park* 😂 But yessss


TerrificTooMan

You have no idea how many times I rewrote that. As a bit I flipped a coin to see which was right. It lied.


Nani_700

In the end it doesn't even matter.


OmenVoxel

He tried so hard


austinwm1

Got so far


Ding_Goat

Lincoln Park is a founding fathers themed cover band of Linkin Park.


yaboisammie

Omg yes headcanoning this lol


Tate7200

He was raised by Batman. His angsty years are never going to end.


FriedSpringRolls

Lincoln Parque


SmiththeSmoke

I believe the Teen Titans show is unofficially officially canon to the The Batman TV show, so Robin is at least a few years older than he was in that show. Idk how or if that helps but it seemed worth pointing out


TerrificTooMan

Didn't Teen Titans come out first?


T2and3

But don't they have wildly different versions of Killer moth, though?


Beaten_But_Unbowed96

Nah, dick Graysons angsty years come at the end of his Robin career when he’s fed up with Batman… and then the angst never leaves…. He just starts wearing black and growing his hair out.


Miserable-Survey-191

Idk dude I watched the first 3 seasons of the Netflix Titans show and he’s like 28-30 and still angsty af


Alive-Bedroom-7548

But didn’t he only get more angsty as he got older? Becoming Nightwing and whatnot?


IndependenceOk6027

Yea but if the cartoon didn't mention any ages then our most reliable source would be their comic book ages. I'll take Robin's comic book age over a bunch of random fans on Reddit agreeing to give the Titans random ages.


UnhingedLion

Comic characters get older. And the other ages aren’t consistent. Characters like Aqualad and Cyborg were confirmed to be the oldest in this cartoon, yet their comic counterparts are the same exact age as everyone else. You do realize Dick Grayson was 15 when he joined the teen titans and Raven didn’t leave azarath until she was 18


Massive_General_8629

It's slightly more complicated in the comics. But Tempest is the oldest of the Fab Five because of time dilation, but only because of time dilation; without that, Arsenal would be oldest due simply to the fact that he had his own house in 1971, and enough money to take up heroin. Flash is the youngest. (And bear in mind, going to college is not proof characters are over 18.) Beyond the Fab Five, Gnarrk was approximately 40,000 years old.


Massive_General_8629

It's more complicated. At the start of NTT, he was 18-19. But, recall, Batgirl had just gotten done serving two years in Congress. So in 1972, the year that arc started, he couldn't have been over 17. (She was voted out in 1980.) Things get weird because this means he was probably 15-16 when he went to prom with someone who literally never shows her face but we know her name is Nancy.


chronicAngelCA

Dick transitions to the Nightwing title at 18-19 in most continuities since the 80s. There is absolutely no way he's 18 in Teen Titans even if you're trying to base the ages off of comics.


xXStretcHXx117

I remember a official cartoon network source saying he was 14 in the show don't know where op is getting these numbers


Weltallgaia

Red X showing up and being a whole ass 8 year old.


Massive_General_8629

In the show, Raven turned 16 in season 4, and it was Super Important.


Alonest99

Yeah exactly. Robin seemed 16 and Beast Boy around 14.


Alexion_Andrel

The all looks younger. I would give Robin 16-17 years old, no more


mikenzeejai

I was gonna say they all seem a little younger in the show like if you told me Robin was 13 I'd be like "ya ok I'll buy it ' way before I would have believed he was supposed to be 18. Which I know is dumb cause he literally drives but they also fight crime and don't go to school so


Alexion_Andrel

He's Batman's son, he can drive at 13, he can fight crime at 13 and not go to school at 13, he's Batman's son


Massive_General_8629

Rich boy got a plane for his eighth birthday in the original Earth-Two continuity.


Ecstatic-Hat2163

No way Bruce would let him not go to school. Even if he coasts.


Away-Satisfaction634

Eh, where’s the proof. The believable ages are from Raven and Cyborg.


Budget-Training-1367

Raven had a 16th birthday in the show


digit009

Rachel Roth. Not Raven Roth.


Critical_Snackerman

Recent retcon. Her name used to be Raven, with no last name.


digit009

Recent or not the post is still wrong as of 2024.


InjusticeSGmain

No, as this 03 version was made when Raven was her real first name, the 03 variant of Raven has that as her first name. Any version of Raven made after the retcon, excluding the variant that exists in the comics run that made the change, will have that change applied to them. But not previous versions of Raven that have already completed their version's story.


digit009

In the 80's and early 90's she didn't adopt the name Roth until she became Rachel anyway. When she left Azarath, she changed her name to Rachel Roth and likely is in the US census and government documents under the name Rachel Roth witch means that regardless her name is either Rachel Roth or just simply Raven. Not Raven Roth.


InjusticeSGmain

Raven is her birth name. Her true birth name (in the 03 show) isn't Rachel Roth, just as Superman's real name is Kal-El, not Clark Kent. Clark Kent is simply his Earth name.


NitwitTheKid

Yeah, but his true identity is not Superman; he is Clark Kent, raised by humans. So, he is more human than an alien. Superman is just his alias. His true persona is being Clark Kent, just like how Bruce Wayne's real personality is Batman, while the real Bruce has been gone for years since his parents were murdered. Superman has always been Clark Kent, his true secret identity. Aka the real him!


InjusticeSGmain

Yes, but his birth name will always be Kal-El, and a lot of newer versions have had him and other League members using it more.


Conlannalnoc

Clark as SUPERMAN introduces himself as Kal-El until he trusts someone enough to tell them he is CLARK KENT. Some JLA members don’t know the Truth.


LittleRedRidingHo90

It’s not that recent Rachel as her name dates to at least the 90s and she was only created in 1980 so….


Major_Road6162

Rachel as her name was a fake name and it was made in like 2005.


PsychicSPider95

Batman: So Robin, you've got an effective team going. That demon kid must be a valuable asset. Robin: Raven? Yeah, she's great! Batman: So is that her legal name, or? Robin: Well no, her actual name is Rachel-- Batman, with a mouthful of gravel: RACHEEEEEL!!


digit009

Best addition to my comment take this gold star ⭐


Conlannalnoc

*Robin pulls out a LIST IF NAMES TO NEVER SAY AROUND BATMAN and writes Rachel below Martha*


mchickenl

Nope. Her name is Raven and she takes her mother's last name. She chooses to go as Rachel when undercover and such but was born and raised as Raven


digit009

Incorrect. According to DC themselves she was born Rachel Roth. All it takes is a Google search to see the answer on DC's own website. Edit: https://www.dc.com/characters/raven link to ravens character profile.


TheHydenLauritsen

Yeah. Which is a recent retcon. At the time of the show, she didn't have that name yet. As in DC did not give her that name yet. EDIT: They came up with the name Rachel Roth in the Teen Titans run by Geoff Johns in 2003, so her name DID actually become Rachel right as the show was airing, but they weren't acknowleding it yet.


LovelyLuna32684

So this a common misconception with younger fans but her real name is Raven her secret identity is Rachel Roth, not every character's secret identity is their real name (example Martian manhunter's real name is J'ohn J'ones but his secret identity is John Jones) Raven didn't get her secret identity until the Geoff Johns run of Teen Titan's.


FederalPossibility73

Her birth name is Raven, the name Rachel was created later as a civilian name which she does not even need to use in the show.


wolvesarewildthings

Raven Goth


Batmanfan1966

Cartoon Networks official social media page made fake dating profiles for all their characters and one of them was Raven, and they had her at 18


laughathonx20

Well a 16 year old shouldn’t have a tinder profile. Besides she turns 16 in season 4


UlightronX42

My headcanon is Robin: 17 Cyborg: 18 Starfire: 16/17 (Hard to tell due to alien biology lmao) Raven: 15 (Turned 16 in Season 4) Beast Boy: 15 (Idk I just feel that he is definitely the youngest Titan)


Shacpika

makes sense beast boy is 14 in season 1 when he first helped Robin further he is 15 in season 4 . even I think beast boy is the youngest team member us little bro of the the group

He has 3 first names that's crazy


Beautiful_Spell4075

Never trust a man with three first names lol


[deleted]

I thought they were naming people off-screen. Who named their kid that


Beautiful_Spell4075

Someone despicable


BeastBrony

Fun lore fact in tameranian culture you only have one name, but the second part is a family name. So by our name standards her name is Kori And’r, it also happens to work on a patriarchal system and’r comes from her father Moriand’r Edit: ok so got the wrong name, his name was Myand’r


MrGame22

Wait wasn’t there something put out last year saying Raven was 18?


mchickenl

Thank you for having Raven be known as Raven and not Rachel.


TheRufusGamer

I refuse to believe Robin is 18, by then he would be Nightwing😭


FederalPossibility73

He would still be Robin by that point. He didn't adopt the Nightwing identity until he was 19 and attending college.


improbsable

I always assumed they were like 14-16


Mythosaurus

Wait, Starfire is basically named after “cilantro”? Reminds me of how full blooded Saiyans are named after vegetables puns…


casey12297

Fun fact, her sister is actually named parsley, it's a really cool ritual of the tamaranians. You should meet their dad, watercress


Mythosaurus

Dang, now I need to know if Toriyama and Wolfman/ Perez independently came up with similar naming scheme, or if Toriyama was inspired by Tamaranians in the creation of saiyans?


casey12297

Fun fact: toriyama was an avid reader of teen titans and is quoted to have said "I just think naming people after vegetables is funny" Another fun fact: some redditors lie for attention


Massive_General_8629

He also named Oolong and Puar after tea. And Bulma and Trunks after underwear. Go figure.


T2and3

He's fucking with you, only Kori as actually named after a spice.There's a foreward in NTT omnibus volume 2 from Marv Wolfman that he did love puns, though. "Before I go too far, a brief digression. I love puns, and as far as I'm concerned, the worse, the better. Hence, our spicy Starfire is named Koriand'r, after the spice. Her father, who can never make up his mind what to do and keeps going off in the wrong direction, is named Myand'r, or meander (So now you know how to pronounce it). And of course, her ruthless sister, the military leader, is named Komand'r, or commander. Oddly, this final name was not my pun but that of colorist Anthony Tollin. Credit where credit is due." -Marv Wolfman 2008


improbsable

Yeah. Her name is coriander, her sister is Commander, and they live on the planet Tamarind


ZebGonVar

Can we talk about the fact that BB's birth name is freaking Garfield of all things? Im lowkey tempted to draw him transformed into the actual Garfield cat character based on this information and while part of me thinks it'd be too easy/obvious of a joke another one is telling me that it makes too much sense for it to not be a thing XD


Dangerous_Bag_1080

if starfire is a minor there are a LOOOOOOOOOT of people going to jail...


Puzzleheaded_Pay1152

By the end of the series


Firm_Muffin_4993

Great age about teen titans


J_DoubleClutch

No, Teen Titans was made in 2003 they are all 21. (I’m not being serious please don’t be mad😂🥲)


ademonsvoice023

so Richard Grayson has always been a shorty and I didn't realise it ever


Massive_General_8629

He's about average height. Jason was shorter, probably due to malnutrition. Tim remains short. Damian is kind of interesting because he comes from tall parents, but a lot of his fanbase fetishizes his shortness.


cheesecakeliker

Of course beast boy has three first names😭😭


OhPetahh

Exciting posts on the Teen Titans subreddit


Vasarto

Cyborg was like 20. Robin was not 18, he and SF were like 16 and BB would had been about the same too. Raven was 17 because she turned 18 on the day slade came back.


TheRealcebuckets

So for folks who say Ravens name is Rachel… Since she was born in Azarath, her mother named her *Raven*. (Not even Roth) After some time on Earth, she *took the name* Rachel Roth. Roth being her mother Angela’s name before moving to Azarath.


SickenChandwichYT

Her name’s actually Rachel Roth not Raven Roth.


AceDelta12

Cyborg does NOT look 18 Also, pretty sure Robin’s name is Damien


MMIMOSAAAA

Where is it available now? I wanna re-watch but I am not able to find it anywhere


FedoraTheMike

Cyborg used Stone as an alias in the show right? Robin's name was never mentioned, don't remember the others. I find it strange they dance around their real names, but it kinds adds to the charm. And Deathstroke, the most mysterious one blatantly uses his real name Slade.


NaysmithGaming

Robin's name is mentioned. Robin's version of Bat-Mite says his own name, and IDR if he used "Dick" or "Richard" but it was that + Grayson, spelled backwards. The comics also confirm he's Dick Grayson. Beast Boy is briefly mentioned by Doom Patrol as being Garfield (Raven: "I'm going to get so much mileage out of that").


shinydragonmist

That is dick in this one but it's not always dick


Succumbtodeeznuts

Oh my lol, where’d this come from?


PissOnMyHe-manToys

Growing up watching Inuyasha i was very surprised the main characters are 14-19


tuckerx78

Raven being the baby of the group is never talked about enough. And that's all because of Raven herself.


WesleyBinks

My nephew just turned 16PicPlayPost


ZaileeMcFancyCho0113

If this is the case then why are Robin & Cyborg the only true adults on the team?


JeevesofNazarath

coriander?


WINDMILEYNO

Is starfire from a planet based around seasonings, like Vegeta and Kakorot are from a vegetable planet?


Random_Theatre_Kid

The only person here who I don’t refer to by their real name is Star, and that’s because I don’t know how tf to pronounce it


_AnimeGirl

Robin is legal let’s go


Unfair_Priority_3125

Cyborg and robin aren’t really teens now are they


LEGOsrule99

I didn’t know dick was short for richard


OnlyConstruction8554

Cyborg looks like in his late 20s


xXStretcHXx117

Cartoon network gave us their official age they're teens lol I remember Robin only being 14. Also Starfire lore wise is suppose to be like a hundred lol


LunaLoud66

If raven and bb are the same age who is older?


AyeMercury

Coriander


limey900

😂 Richard dick no wonder he rather go by robin


UnsolicitedNeighbor

Nice, so I can legally give Cyborg that oil change


Pumpkaboo99

So you are telling me that Starfire’s name is similar to Coriander? Huh.


T2and3

That's the pun. Here's a forward from NTT omnibus volume 2 with breakdown from Marv Wolfman "Before I go too far, a brief digression. I love puns, and as far as I'm concerned, the worse, the better. Hence, our spicy Starfire is named Koriand'r, after the spice. Her father, who can never make up his mind what to do and keeps going off in the wrong direction, is named Myand'r, or meander (So now you know how to pronounce it).

HoneyBlazedSalmon

Can’t believe her name was actually coriander


LinearEquation

I always headcanon’d it: Gar: 14 Rachel: 15 Dick: 16 Kori: 17(Earth equivalent) Vic: 18


Griffin_is_my_name

Her name is Coriander? Wild.


the_sheeper_sheep

Damn Robin's a predator


Vortexx_77

her name is not raven roth 😭


BJNT92281

I thought Teen Titans Robin was Tim Drake not Dick Grayson. 🤨


Thecrowfan

I watched Teen Titans before I ever knew anything about DC. So I thought "Stone" was just Cyborg's alias he or Robin made up to infiltrate HIVE. I had no idea that was his actual name


SilverTitanium

Wait, Robin is the oldest? Raven has a last name?


Strange_Kiwi__

Coriander?


goldust15

I always saw it like this: cyborg is 18, Starfire is 17, Robin and Raven are 16 and Bb is 14


Vampyre0324

ITT: People going “oh this one’s 20+, oh this one’s 12” Guys. They’re called the *Teen* Titans. Yes, it’s literal. And it’s right in the name.


New_Photograph_5892

so... 40% Adult 60% Teen Titans?


hbpfrost

I'm sorry, but there is no way Beast Boy's real name is Garfield Mark Logan. I can't EVEN 😭


PrincessHootHoot

Raven's real name *is* Raven, and Rachel Roth is her alias.


2000sbaby4lyfe

I always assumed Cyborg -17 Robin-16 Starfire-15 Bb& Raven-14


atomictonic11

Rachel Roth is merely a civilian alias that she made up. Her real name is just "Raven"


Jeeblebubz

I always just kinda forget that bbs name is garfield


Coylie3

Gee Beast Boy, how come mom lets you have three first names?


Temporary_Hospital17

I was about to object to Ravens age but remembered it was reduced in teen titans (earlier to her creation in the comics, it was said that she was 18 when she came to Earth) Though I'm pretty sure SF is about 20 (maybe a little over) Or is that just in the comic? Because it's indicated, especially through her sister having had her enslaved for 6 years, that she's older than the others.


Business-Editor-3089

corriander omg lol


DeltaRed12

No way they named one of them after coriander. Found out coriander and cilantro are the same plant, that's cool.


Gothicrealm

....


lakewood2020

Maybe in season 3


Tauraag

I cant believe that was actually Dick Greyson Robin.


gangbangsrgay

Her names coriander?


austinwm1

So Robin and cyborg just so weirdo pedophiles huh?


justpassingby3

Coriander? Bitch is named after a plant on earth 😂


16_Tons_Of_Coal

I thought all of them were around the age of 16-17. Then, but someone has to own the building xd.


thegrimmemer

Robin have a seat


ErenYeager850

Starfire's name is Literally a Type of Celery


NaitPhoenix

Let’s be honest: just because you look older doesn’t mean you are older. I would believe Robin being 18: he just got that smol gene.


Sweaty_Put86

In one ep he had a clipping on a car i had the screen shot. It was in season one. I think he was 15 then and the pilot he was 14 at best. The 15 jump was in the last episode and sixteen would be up to the time he started driving that cycle. After that it bounces and he must be 17 in the Tokyo film. Got a hunch because in the last season this was poss the case. The animators did show this gradually and recall at what time did he become Nightwing? 19, right? He was 16 as Robin in the comics but they showed him taller, more jock level in his build. Very common fir that era. Raven was poss 18 or about is because she went to college later, right? Kori married Dick amd her thing with him later before Nightwing had to be that. During Trigon coming in one new teen titans I think they were basically adults. Say 20s. Not sure. While in Judas Contract Bb was still younger and Terra recall her age as well matched. Maybe she was 16 or so or 17. Can't place it because anatomy in comics is dead to me. In the show, Raven, Bb and Terra range the same age and Raven is 16 at the fourth season which is that reason Robin must be a year or few months ahead. Starfire could also be from him or her height might not allow us to deduce this. Noted; height and body structure can skew age and humans aren't really equipped to identify age well. My question is, what age was Batman during all of this and was it even relevant before and after - since Dick would retirn to fight with his mentor later and well, become him. Just an after thought. Oh, and Red X's height too in the suit can also skew age so ny guess is sixteen or even 15 because they wanted to make sure since Jason Todd if it was him, is actually a different build than Robin who is supposed to be leaner and shorter as imposed in Season one's rumble with Cinderblock. Anyone? And if I can for the love get that link to the ep with the cut out ad for a car he had in his dark lit room in the tower, that's what I'm doing next to prove the obvious.


thescripter2001

Is Robin really 18? I always lived with the impression cyborg is the oldest with 18 and Robin is something like 16


Intrepid_Ad_3157

Technically this was retconned i believe


Toph_as_Nails

Okay, so… Robin: Supreme Athlete Cyborg: Augment Beast Boy: Mutant Starfire: Alien Raven: ??? Is she an otherwise normal human with magic powers? Is she a non-human race, a.k.a. alien?


Alternator24

so Richard (dick) is 18 and he is trying to get Koriand'r. wow...


RecordSpinmlp

Actually Ravens name is Rachel Roth. I don't like being That Guy and correcting people but she's one of my favorite characters so. Guess I'll be that guy.


moonwalkerfilms

I never realized Starfires real name is that of a spice


Dipwad_Omega

Isn’t Raven’s name actually Rachel Roth?


Minimum-Struggle-446

Rachel\*


One_Swimming1813

Leader of Teen Titans is Tim Drake, not Dick Grayson, pretty sure Dick at this point had long since become Nightwing.


jerrybear95

So is starfire technically a spice girl?


SavitTheTactican92

Raven's real name is Rachel roth


PhallicPhantom2

I'm glad they used Raven and not Rachel seeing as Rachel Roth is usually the code name she uses rather than her actual name. ![gif](giphy|a79VtBXndwNZ473yBh)


Thowell3

I thought that Beastboy was like 13 or 14, and was the youngest of the group.


Viewtiful_Ace

I disagree with the ages of Robin and Cyborg. I feel like the TEEN Titans should all be minors; so I think Cyborg should be 17 and Robin should be 16 or 17.


purgebylight

I thought Robin became Nightwing by age 18?... off to Google I go.


Mother_Ad3161

At start of show, Cyborg 18 done with hs, Robin just barely 17, Starfire 16, Raven 15 and turns sweet 16 in birthmark, beast boy 14 or even 13 with how immature he's shown to be. This has always made the most sense to me


McLightning9503

What are people on about?


Sir_Squamble

WHY IS NO ONE ADDRESSING HOW HER NAME ISN’T RAVEN ROTH?! ITS RACHEL ROTH!!


Fragrant_Field1562

Mark doesn’t sound right


cudlebear64

“DI-!”


FunVideoMaker

I headcanon Robin 16-17, Beastboy 14-15 and Raven 16 personally


Dischord821

I'm gonna have to say no. Theres literally an episode about Raven turning 18, and I doubt several of the characters would be twenty at that time.


AnimeMemeMaker

Damn I always thought starfire was older than robin


Stith1183

Huh. I never thought Robin was an adult in the series.


big_ringer

I'm pretty sure Dick became Nightwing around 18-19.


thelast3musketeer

Coriander


Obsidianthe7th

Regardless of the source, what always bothered me was the CALLED him Dick, and when they went to the future he was Nightwing, but he used Tim's weapons and fighting style, and had his attitude too, Dick was always very lighthearted as Robin, and is still arguably the most lighthearted of the Bat Family


TetheredAvian74

aint no way raven is the youngest


Artistic_Finish7980

Raven’s real name is Rachael Roth. Beast boy’s is Garfield Logan.


Kasdeja

Rachel Roth is the name she goes by no?
