A serious competition for Terry Long?!
As requested I continue posting random 80's Teen Titans stuff.

So... not happy with Terry Long being Donna's lover? Too old? Too annoying? Too creepy? And on top of that a silly haircut? Well, in New Teen Titans #11-12 (1981) he's getting a rival:



See for yourself if the new guy in town can keep up with Terry!



The context: in an intense battle with Deathstroke Gar got shot and is now on the brink of death. To save their friend the Titans fly off to Paradise Island where Gar hopefully can be healed by the Amazon's Purple Ray. While the girls take Gar down to the island the boys leave for a different mission in Africa. And somewhere else...





Meet Hyperion from the Titans of Myth! And before the obvious encounter with Donna, let's take a quick look and compare him with Terry:

Hair: ... well, give Terry a shave and put some flowers in his hair and they could be brothers.
Age: with more than 30.000 years Hyperion wins here - to be fair, Terry might look old but he's actually only 29.
Factor of annoyance: most of us were a bit angry at Terry because he ruined Dick's speech at the campfire scene, but at least you can get a word out in his presence... not so sure here.
Factor of creepiness: ... I always found the Titans of Myth pretty creepy, too.





Hera help me, too, for I cannot bear his enormous ego...





You heard Kory, Dick is the only real man on earth!



And off they fly... to Tartarus once again. After battling a few cyclopses they manage to free the other Titans of Myth:



Together they decide that it's about time to throw Zeus and the other younger gods from the throne. Also: Kory, Raven and the Amazons are on their way to rescue Donna (bringing even Athena herself along), but Donna being Hyperion's new first lady doesn't really care.
Instead in the next issue they head off to Mount Olympus...






Epic battles are fought there and in the end the Titans of Myth win, turning the younger gods into stone.



Momma's here and she doesn't approve of Donna's new boyfriend.
They try to talk things out. Athena being the awesome mod explains that the new peaceful world the Titans of Myth were talking about unfortunately comes without freedom and free will.



And war they get! Kory frees Zeus and before the situation gets even worse, Athena can finally talk sense into everyone. Everyone? Not quite! Hyperion still has something to bitch about.





I know this single page was already included in the Donna&Terry love story post, but it's the epilogue, I can't leave it out...



I'm so bold to say that with Kyle Donna's taste in men changed for the better.

And Hyperion doesn't?
I think both of them together are the stuff nightmares are made of.

Maybe we should be glad that Diana never really gets into serious relationships. Because, apparently, there are no good matches for super-powered Amazons.

Ack, blonde!Polly. >.<

This is a good story, if skeevy, but for me it just highlights that much more how poorly thought out Donna's post-Crisis treatment was. Because... this is perfect. The Titans are enemies of the Olympians; they are therefore the natural enemies of the amazons as well. They were imprisoned by their children, and their first act, if they became capable of acting, would be to war with Zeus. If one of the Wonder women could make a peace between them, so much the better, but it would start ugly, and manipulative and careless of human life, because that's what Titans *are* in the mythology that the entire Wonder mythology is based on. So... you make Donna the offspring of the "Titans of Myth" and have her swear by Rhea all the time... you're not just sundering her from her proper amazon heritage, you're actually making her an enemy of her people.

Also, damn. Remember how pretty Donna was when she wore an outfit with a halfway attractive neckline?

At least Hyperion has the power to back up the ego, compare and contrast with the Titans "angel" Azrael, who'd spout the most dreadfully overblown drivel when his entire powerset consisted of, basically, wings (And I say that as a diehard fan of Angel and Icarus)

Lately I've been feeling like I'm a bad person for never finding Terry all that creepy, even though I read all those stories way back when. [shrug] Maybe it's because I didn't think of Donna as a teenager, even though "Teen" is in the comic's title every damn month. Or maybe it's because even though Terry is obviously older than she is, he sure didn't look (to me) old enough to be a parent to a grown woman. That is, he didn't look as old as any real-life parents of teenagers that I knew at the time-- including my own parents. :p

OTOH, that whole thing where Donna is enthralled and touching her own face, etc.? *That* has always struck me as creepy.

Go figure. [shrug]

I can totally see why Donna would go for this guy; he's so good, he gives woman orgasms just by looking at them!

A question though - why, exactly, did Hyperion, after thousands of years, just - suddenly break free like that? Did the warranty on his ancient stone prison expire? Did the batteries run out? Did Hyperion just go "fuck this, I'm out"?
