since this blog is canon divergent, and i take influences from both the teen titans cartoon, and the 1980s the new teen titans comics, i’ve combined both of raven’s powers from each source. raven’s main power is that she is an empath. this means, that she can feel others pain, as if it were her own. along with this, raven can heal injuries and illnesses. this comes with restrictions, though. she cannot regrow limbs, for instance. ( as seen in tntt ) though, when she heals, she takes that person’s pain and makes it her own. this brings agony, and requires a lot of energy to accomplish. the pain and the injuries, do pass with time, though depending on the severity of the injury/illness, some last longer than others, due to the strength it takes to push through.
the next of raven’s powers, is her soul-self. she can astral project in the form of a raven. this means, she leaves her physical body and can travel anywhere. though, her time used to be limited to five minutes per projection, raven has conquered her fear and the darkness of her mind, and is now able to be outside of herself for as long as need be. she is also able to send her soul-self / raven, to a desired destination, and uses this to summon the other titans as a signal.
raven is also a skilled fighter. if she needed to, she could defend herself in a fight, though, she was raised by the monks of azarath, and continues to practice their belief in pacifism.
now, because i don’t know how to really describe her powers from the show, the rest of these are taken from the teentitans wiki page.
Advanced Telekinesis: Raven can merge a small part of her soul-self into objects in order to take control of them, with the object essentially becoming an extension of her soul-self ;[14] this may be the reason why she prefers to take control of inanimate objects rather than people. The limit to how much matter she is able to control is unknown, though it ranges well into hundreds of tons, allowing her to hurl city buses, mounds of rubble or even uprooting whole slabs of pavement. Whenever she takes control of something, it is covered in the same dark energy that composes her soul-self.
Telekinetic Constructs: With her soul-self able to be molded into any shape, Raven often creates simple domes or walls that acts as barriers against attack. She can project solid bolts to be used as projectiles, or a steady stream of solid force. She has been shown making razor sharp blades[15] to cut through obstacles, claws that can restrain foes, and floating platforms to ride on.
Telekinetic Teleportation: In conjunction with her telekinesis, Raven's soul-self is able to envelop her (along with at least four other people) and travel to other dimensions, primarily Azarath. She can use this technique to travel vast distances on Earth, or to teleport by momentarily displacing herself and then re-appearing in another location. She can pass through walls and obstacles by simply teleporting past them, giving the illusion of intangibility. At times, Raven has been shown creating portals with her dark energy in order to travel, rather than utilizing her soul-self.
Levitation: Raven can levitate off the ground and hover, without visible projection of her dark energy as is shown when she utilizes telekinesis. Her power is also sufficient to enable her to counter the gravitational pull of other planets.
Multilingualism: Raven is a skilled polyglot, capable of fluently speaking English, German, Latin, Romanian, Ancient Sumerian, and Sanskrit. She can even speak the language of her own people, Azaranian.
Magic: Though only occasionally used, Raven has displayed a wide arcane knowledge, possessing a vast library of mystic tomes, spellbooks and ancient scrolls. She has been shown making potions, using mystical objects like charms and talismans, and has performed elaborate magical rituals.
Spell-casting: The high-level spells she casts are usually spoken out loud; though she does have some practice in casting nonverbal spells to give herself more of an advantage over her opponents.
