    Now some of this line-up I can see. I like Cyborg and he is an under-rated character. The current Hawk and Dove are ok in small doses although I liked Hank and Don much better in the Silver Age. Lagoon Boy, perhaps, because he has showed up in Young Justice and Titan-related events, although I don't know much about him. Same with chick that I'm assuming is AquaGirl. But Power Boy?! The psycho who is obsessed with Supergirl? Yikes.

      Yeah,.. that story Arc with Supergirl,.. Powerboy is definatly a different breed of a Superhero.. But now that I think about it,.. I kinda find his character interesting,.. he is very Arrogant, however if one had his powers, I could really see that perhaps Happening... So the Chick in the Purple is AquaGirl then,... 2 water characters,.. nice.

        I hate to admit it, but I LIKE Powerboy, and would like to see him develop into more than another throwaway character. The little we've learned about his Apokoliptic upbringing so from Supergirl far makes him intriguing.

        But, otherwise, I agree with the majority of posts so far: That Cyborg is underrated and deserves a better line-up peppered with some other, more familiar Titans.

        On the flip-side of the equation, there aren't a lot of original Titans left alive from the past who haven't moved on to other groups that aren't pretty mediocre. I think the real problem is that if the Titans are the close-knit family they have always been, fans won't appreciate an artificial division in the ranks to keep the groups separate. To keep them untangled, most writers would have to pull together a team of fresh characters lacking the Titans' histories.

        I always felt Titans East/West became more and more of a joke; if somebody really wanted to make it work, they need a stronger line-up, IMHO. I also think if Winnick flops, the dual Titans groups idea will probably fall back into obscurity for another decade. Either way, <sigh>, I'll be buying it. No matter how badly it's done, I'm still a Titan forever

          Well, it doesn't look like Nightwing is going to be in the Outsiders book. I just read the Nightwing and Boomer crossover, and Batman has pretty much taken over. I personally would like to see Dick working with some of the Titans family again. I guess Donna Troy is going to be out of the picture for a while, since she's running around with Jason Todd and "Bob" the Monitor, looking for Ray Palmer at the moment. What's Starfire been up to lately? I was kind of under the impression that she was still doing some post-52 wrap-up, but I'm not sure.

            ^ I think Starfire will be popping up in "Countdown to Adventure" with Adam Strange.

              I'd still like to see Dick finally, officially in the JLA. He has more leadership skills than anyone on the team. And if Roy Harper can make it in...and frickin' Geo-Force!!!

                ^ Speedy/Arsenal/Red Arrow doesn't bother me as much as I thought he would on the JLA team. Agreed on Geo-Force...what with Black Lightning on the team and Bats it looks like a mini-Outsiders reunion.

                Hopefully, with McDuffie on the book now, Geo-Force AND Vixen will get dumped for characters that deserve to be on the JLA. Don't get me wrong, they're both cool, unique characters but I don't consider them iconic enough to be on the JLA, now that said team is back to "name" players instead of Faith, Manitou Raven and Master Disaster. I'd have rather have seen Animal Man instead of Vixen but DC seems intent on pairing him up with Adam Strange and Starfire (their "52" storyline sucked IMO).

                I'm still hoping they fix Firestorm (i.e. bring back Ronnie Raymond) and put him on the team, alongside the Atom (Ray Palmer)!

                  Mostly a crap team and a crap writer. I'll be skipping this one!

                    Agreed, bring back THE Firestorm. But I am rather enjoying Vixen on the team myself,... Geoforce not so much. That Red Arrow is a pimp though, been in the book for 12 issues,.. & already worked his majic with Hawkgirl.

                      I thought she was just toying with him, kind of beating him at his own game.
                      It is nice to see him using the bow and arrow though. I liked Roy much better when he was Speedy, although I understand why that character had to evolve. But seeing Green Arrow's protege' running around with guns the way he did for a while instead of using his archery skills kind of got on my nerves.

                        Pretty sure McDuffie will keep Vixen around, she was a recurring character on the toon.

                          ^ You're probably right...sounds like the problem she's having leeching off the other members powers is something Meltzer slipped in there to accomodate McDuffie's upcoming plots.

                            According to Previews, this Teen Titans East thing is a one-shot special...hopefully it won't go further than that.
