Has The Anti-Christ Already Joined Teen Titans Academy?
The new Teen Titans Academy series has a bunch of new characters appearing in the series. From all manner of backgrounds, across the DC Universe. Yes, it's basically Marvel's Strange Academy, but with less of a magical focus.
That's Dane arriving late, we'll get to him later.
The listing for the first collection of Teen Titans Academy may reveal some more about them that hasn't popped up in solicitations or the comics yet. It reads "Meet the student body – a new Australian Speedster who runs on prosthetics, a trio of Batman obsessed Goth kids from Gotham, a teen expatriate from Gorilla City and a kid who's possibly the anti-Christ."
We've met Megabat, Chupacabra, Bratgirl, and Gorilla Greg – we haven't met the Australian speedster with prosthetics yet, but that will be Bolt from Future State: Suicide Squad who took the role of a Flash. But who is the Anti-Christ? A future solicit states asks what "dark secret is Raven's new pupil Dane hiding"?
Here's a peek at what's coming;
