This week’s Major Spoilers podcast featured a review of Archie #2, which nearly led to the ever-repeating comic-reading question, ‘Betty or Veronica?’ But we no longer live in such a binary society (and everybody knows the answer is and will always be “Betty”.) When I was a young’n, we didn’t argue about the ladies of Riverdale anyway, but instead the denizens of Titans Tower. Some liked the girl-next-door approachability of Wonder Girl, others the strange otherworldly proto-Gothiness of Raven, still others the expressive and passionate Starfire. Some were impressed by Cyborg’s physique, and there’s nothing wrong with that either, which leads us to today’s circa-1984 query…
The MS-QOTD (pronounced, as always, “misquoted”) thinks that the “Ginger or Maryann” trope is a bit too limiting, so will allow the choice of the seven original New Teen Titans, asking: Which Titan would be YOUR Titan Of Choice?

I was all ready to say Lilith, until I realised you specified the seven core NEW Teen Titans members. (Also, still no love inthe world for Young Justice anywhere, man!)
So I’d go with Gar. I think he’d be cool to hang out with, espeically during his Space Trek: 2020 era.
I love Young Justice. Their day will come…
Out of any team that has used the Titans name, I have to go with Blue Beetle Jaime Reyes. Out of the more widely known roster, my choice would be Beast Boy/Changeling. Both seem like they would be fun to hang with, and they are both capable of holding their own in a crisis.
I found Wally the most interesting, personally. Gar is a close second, then Raven in third (although her concept is almost self-limiting).
