Which gal or guy would you think have the biggest crush on Jon in the titans?
hmm good question, iām not too sure. I think especially when they are younger a lot of them get little crushes on each other to be honest. Definitely not Kathy though since she gets adopted by the Kents in my universe
Since I havenāt been on in a while, I thought I would share my Young Justice lineup for who I think Damianās team SHOULD be (looking at yāall DC executives)
Damian Wayne - Robin (13 when team forms)
Jon Kent - Superboy (11)
Maya Ducard - Nobody (12)
Kathy Branden - Beacon (11)
Irey West - Thunderheart (I think eventually she would take a different name but tbd) (11)
Jai West - Surge (11)
Colin Wilkes - Abuse (13)
Tai Pham (decided to change this up love Milagro but I think this makes more sense) Green Lantern (13)
Reserve/Non-Initial Members
Suren Darga - Initially Darga, later Brightburn (12)
Maps (Mia) Mizoguchi - Background support (not in field initially) (13)
1: what are some pranks Irey & Lian pull on Damian?
2: what about for Kathy and Maya for Jon?
3: for the team, any prank wars?
1. I think it would be typically small things, but Lian and Irey live to annoy him. I donāt think these would be pranks to normal people, but they would rearrange his training equipment, Irey would use her speed to take him to different parts of the tower. Lian would fill his locker with random things and definitely dressed up bat cow at some point
2. Kathy can read minds, and while typically she doesnāt pry, I think she will definitely poke fun at Jon for anything crazy he thinks about or start singing songs in his head to bother him. In terms of actual pranks, they definitely have decorated his room crazy and I think Kathy would get a baby cows or other animals from the farm and label them 1 and 3 haha
3. I donāt know if they have a full on prank war, I think Maya, Kathy, Irey, and Lian are the biggest prankers to be honest, but I definitely think they mess around and tease each other quite a bit
Hey, could you write how you imagine the team personalities? I wanna write a story myself but I need help with characterizations
Hi! So sorry for the delay here. I havenāt been as active as Iād like to be on this blog! I try and base it off the experiences and personalities that all the characters have in the comics, and then I expand from there. For example, Maya is shown to be pretty witty and sarcastic in her appearances in comics, but she also had quite a traumatic upbringing and while she may be dealing with it in a slightly different way, in my mind she would also initially struggle with ākidā stuff like Damian. Or for Kathy, she watched her whole family and planet die, so I imagine despite her friendly bubbly personality in the comics she may have trouble letting people in especially family. Some of the characters, more of the personality comes from my own imagination than others, but I think the way I have developed all of my YJ teamās personalities comes from the comics and then expanding on personality through their canon experiences and imagining how they would develop with age!
3: whatās new young justices favorite animated movie?
great questions!!
1. I donāt think so?? Tbh I havenāt thought of it so at least for now iāll say no.
2. Absolutely. They definitely have all pulled pranks on each other. I think Irey and Lian would be big on pranks especially to Damian. Also I think Kathy and Maya are big fans of pranking Jon. They definitely all love to mess with each other.
3. I think as a whole team they are a big fan of Lion King and all the classic Disney animated movies and studio ghibli movies
3: who works best with who? Like Jon and Damian, Maya and Suren etc
4: any honorable members?
1. I like to think that none of them are really the āleaderā. Like in theory itās Damian but itās definitely not. I think they each lead where their strengths/experiences are. For example if a mission has to do with aliens Kathy would be the point person for that. I think in terms of talking to the league they all take turns and each person has a thing they are in charge of like Lian does the inventory stuff and Maya is the one to makes a lot of repairs to tech in their base.
2. Yes! They are based out of the āTreehouse of Solitudeā which is Maya and Kathyās base in the comics! Itās near Hamilton so in New York area and near to a few big cities. With their powers they are also able to travel quite quickly and help take their teammates without those abilities with them.
3. I think Jon and Damian initially worked together the most. They have all done missions with each other and all together at various points, but Maya, Damian, and Suren have definitely worked together a lot. Milagro, Kathy, and Jon. Lian and Damian for some stealth work for sure. Irey and Jai are obviously a package deal. I think a lot of the girls would do missions together. Maya and Kathy also do a bunch together, but I think they have done just about every combination a few times
4. I think Maps and Suren sorta serve as āhonorary membersā. I think initially Suren isnāt around as much and isnāt as into the hero stuff and instead comes and helps or hangs out when his friends ask him to. He definitely gets more involved when heās older but initially I donāt think heās an āofficialā member of the team. Same goes for Maps who i imagine doesnāt tell her parents and will sneak out or lie about what sheās doing to go hang out with NYJ on the weekends. She does eventually get combat trained but she initially is on comms only and isnāt there as much as the other and isnāt an āofficialā member
What powers does Suren Darga have? I thought he just had fire powers? Is he as good as a martial artist as Samian in your canon?
I think he eventually gets a little more advanced with the magic and fire powers as he gets older but primarily just magic powers that involve manipulating elements. I do think heās as good of a martial artist as Damian but I think they have somewhat different strengths.
@tamdrry agreed to do this for some reason, and man did they really lock in. This was a wild project on all sides I refuse to admit how long it took me to do all the redesigns and initially I'd wanted to post it after I finished the Trinity fic, but I'm taking forever, and this deserves to see the world.
Closer looks under the cut!

Maya Ducard (Nobody), Mia "Maps" Mizoguchi (Robin VI)
...So yeah! That's it. Amazingly, the only two OCs are Conrad and REDACTED, the rest are just updates to forgotten characters. (Jack is a little cheating maybe, that boy is dead in canon and was never Wonder Boy, but you know, technically not an OC--)
It's a crazy year for many things, including amazing art. I may do a 2025 retrospective post later, idk, but It's been a lot of fun working with everyone, and next year is only going to get crazier.
