WARNING: The next article comprises spoilers from Teen Titans Academy #13, on sale now.
The Teen Titans have been coping with various issues currently. Be it the return of the second Red X, Cyborg and Changeling’s accidents, or the duty of constructing a extra appropriate house base. In Teen Titans Academy #13 (by Tim Sheridan, Tom Derenick, Peter Pantazis, Matt Herms, and Rob Leigh) nevertheless, it was revealed that the Teen Titans’ best downside was their constant lapses in safety.
Regardless of claiming to have moved to a safer bunker, the Suicide Squad infiltrated all of it too simply. The breach put each the Titans and their college students vulnerable to encountering among the DC Universe’s deadliest characters. That is simply the most recent in a collection of safety breaches that make the Titans appear fully incompetent in terms of defending their college students.
After relocating to their new safehouse, Arsenal claimed that it had extra security measures than the Tower did and that there was no likelihood of anybody sneaking in. This was instantly disproven within the subsequent panel when Rick Flag and all the Suicide Squad infiltrated the bottom through Mirror Grasp’s powers. Flag even marveled at how getting in there was a lot simpler than he anticipated. Even when this was simply meant to be a little bit of comedic aid, it highlighted an issue the Titans have been having for the reason that very first concern of their new collection: their incapability to forestall enemies from having access to their headquarters.
This was most blatant within the type of the most recent Red X, who would seem and disappear at will, seemingly with none of the older Titans realizing. Including to that is that the workers did finally uncover who Red X was, however slightly than method him to try to kind issues out, they let him proceed to reside beneath their roof and maintain scheming. This blunder in reasoning virtually actually value Red X his life when the reality was revealed, however right here it’s proven that the Titans have discovered nothing from their latest troubles.

For them to be allowed to infiltrate a college isn’t solely incompetent on the Titans’ half, nevertheless it’s additionally borderline negligent.
As of proper now, the Titans have confirmed themselves unfit to take care of their college students, precise youngsters, who don’t have any actual expertise with dealing with villains like this. Granted, these identical youngsters do have powers and are able to defending themselves, however they’ve repeatedly been uncovered to extra skilled enemies who wouldn’t hesitate to kill them if it got here all the way down to it.
In brief, the Titans’ incapability to maintain themselves, not to mention their college students, protected has contributed to all the threats they’ve confronted. In the event that they do hope to reopen their academy and forestall anybody from suing them for youngster endangerment, then they need to improve their safety. Although given even their “safe” protected home was breached, this appears unlikely.
