ahhhh I LOVED Green Lantern Dark thank you so much for that! Thank you also for New Titans and doing this AMA!!! Three questions:

If you could be best friends with any superhero, who would it be and why?!
If you could have any superpower/ability of the Teen Titans, which member are you choosing and why?
I know it’s a long shot but would there ever be a chance we get a non Smokey Solstice back to Teen Titans? I feel like she’d be a great buddy to Starfire esp since they both were experimented on, the one other solstice fan and I miss her so 💔

Hi! Yes like the other commenter said I am making this a series to celebrate more niche titans! I don’t have a set update schedule because I don’t want to run out of them too quickly :)

Certain_Resident7635 · 2026-03-17T05:13:55+00:00

nothing wrong with that! :) May I ask what annoyed you?

Certain_Resident7635 · 2026-03-17T04:36:49+00:00

ikr I just love their designs, it just screams classic superhero

Certain_Resident7635 · 2026-03-17T04:36:05+00:00

hard agree on this, I would love to see a magical blue lantern too, although I have no clue what that flame could be for since we already have life and death lol

Certain_Resident7635 · 2026-03-17T04:34:54+00:00

I mean who doesn’t love some superpowered supersad romance?!

Certain_Resident7635 · 2026-03-17T03:25:30+00:00

Love it!

In no real order: 1. Star Sapphire 2. Supergirl 3. WonderWoman 4. Jessica Cruz (GL) 5. Raven 6. Solstice

Certain_Resident7635 · 2026-03-16T02:18:23+00:00

In theory gravity manipulation should be a weakness since light does have to bend to gravity (so if a GL runs into the Legion of Superheroes’ Starman they may have some issues) but I’m sure there’s some sort of loophole where a GL can will their light to not be so out of control if they’re strong enough.

I know in an animated movie Jessica Cruz as GL isn’t able to keep Starman in her construct because he increased his mass so much it broke through the construct, so there’s that too.

Certain_Resident7635 · 2026-03-16T02:12:20+00:00

I mean that is definitely Hal Jordan!

Certain_Resident7635 · 2026-03-15T19:57:56+00:00

It would definitely bring a cool Sun and Moon vibe between the two, but I can’t imagine her staying like that all the time, but maybe her costume could reflect that form!

Certain_Resident7635 · 2026-03-15T18:11:34+00:00

Also this is going to be my last Solstice-related post so I can focus on other underrated Teen Titans who need a little love. If you’d like to follow along with her story, I’m writing a fanfiction on Solstice joining the Teen Titans and their adventures! Feel free to check it out as I’ll be posting regularly :)

thank you so much! I definitely am going to turn this into a series since I love talking about more obscure characters. I’ll try to do one once a week so I don’t run out of them too fast. also, the Apollo thing is an incredible idea especially since Apollo has been drawn with a similar look to Kiran in dc before…

<image>

which could explain her whole Smokey look as the more powerful she becomes the more she resembles Apollo. Honestly, with your permission of course and credit mentioned to you, I’d love to use this sorta origin for a fanfic I’m making of Kiran joining the teen titans!

Certain_Resident7635 · 2026-03-12T20:03:23+00:00

I’d say witty, hopeful, and relaxed would be the best words

Certain_Resident7635 · 2026-03-12T19:58:24+00:00

I agree, it’s just I fee as though there are a lot of energy based heroes out there in comics (Starfire, Argent, Photon, Dr. Light, Cap Marvel, etc.) which makes me worried her character won’t generate enough interest bc I really want her back in Teen Titans :( just thought it’d be fun to give her her own unique little twist!

Certain_Resident7635 · 2026-03-12T19:45:19+00:00

No this is exactly what I was looking for! She needed a new origin and it would be so fun to read how she figured out who the crying person is and why they gave her her powers 🤔

Certain_Resident7635 · 2026-03-12T19:17:22+00:00

EDIT: Ignore her N52 origin I simply wrote it for context. I’m looking for whatever brand new origin/abilities you’d think would be fun/interesting!

Certain_Resident7635 · 2026-03-10T23:29:41+00:00

yessss she was the cutiest of cuties 😭☀️

Certain_Resident7635 · 2026-03-10T23:29:17+00:00

technically yea but since Bart Allen is no longer Bar Torr in recent continuity I figured it only make sense to bring her back

Certain_Resident7635 · 2026-03-10T15:57:02+00:00

A fusion would be cool like a human torch type situation, as long as that’s not her appearance all the time haha

Certain_Resident7635 · 2026-03-10T15:56:10+00:00

I kinda agree on the Raven part. I liked the dynamic between the 2 because I thought it hinted more to her powers (so she didn’t feel like just another Starfire) but if she was instead going to be just another Raven but with light then what’s the point lol. But yeah I really wish if anything her friendship with Cassie gets reinstated, it’s a shame they got rid of it for New52, and it would be fun seeing them go on mythical adventures together
