Damned Teen Titans (comic, not 'toon). Sucked me right in. Good fucking writing, mang.
You know there's a cartoon version of the comic too. Which is kind of weird, but no weirder than the regular Batman and Batman Adventures running concurrently.
You never know if a girl's gonna say 'yes', or if she's gonna laugh in your face and pull out your still-beating heart and crush it into the ground with her heel.

And there's a comic version of the Cartoon Network 'toon. Seriously.

Pardon my transposition, actually that's what I meant. Emmett's been reading it.

Well, your transposition was also correct -- there apparently was a 'toon of the comic, back in the day. (According to chatty!co-worker, who knows his comics.)

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
always had that extra level of Erroll Flynn joie in battle. Also, the absolute confidence of his acrobatic background and fighting ability. Plus the smartass quipping.
Aha! That must be why I hate him.
Happy superheroes put my teeth on edge, and quippy superheroes need to have their underpants set on fire immediately.

Yeah, but Dick's hardly happy. Dick, in fact, is so far from happy, he can't even smell the hamburgers.

Two words: Tim Drake.
By all rights, he should be an annoying Mary Sue. Despite this, I ♥ him like crazy. Mmm. Want boy.
I totally get why Dick Grayson appeals, but there was a time when he could've been something like Scott Summers
I never pinged for Scott Summers. I was always into Wolverine. And Gambit. I think it's because Scott's flaws just aren't that interesting to me.

Especially now his underpants are on fire.

Yes, but if Nutty sets his underpants on fire, then he'll be desperately unhappy and naked.

I know! And yet, he's fabulous. There's a crazy, calculating edge to the boy, and it's acknowledged, which is I think why he works.
