10 Teen Titans Who Could Beat Superman

Could the Justice League actually stand a chance against DC's teens?

The Teen Titans are often thought to be a team of sidekicks who aren't quite good enough to qualify for Justice League membership, while in reality they're likely the most powerful superhero team in the DC universe.

Having had around 75 members over the past few decades, it's not surprising to think that the Teen Titans have had more heavy-hitting powerhouses than any other team, but most of them seem to go under-appreciated, often flying totally under the mainstream's radar. Some are sidekicks who surpassed their mentors, and some are characters created specifically for the Teen Titans, but each character on this list is absurdly powerful, and consistently underestimated.

On the other hand, Superman, DC's gold standard of superheroes, is commonly thought to be too overpowered, or even downright unbeatable, despite his numerous deaths in the comics, at the hands of enemies like Doomsday, The Annointed One, and even Rao himself. If Clark had to seriously fight any of the characters on this list, we'd be looking at a new Death of Superman story.

These are some of the most powerful heroes to ever join the Teen Titans, from 1964 to 2019.

While Jaime Reyes is a relatively inexperienced teen who always holds back the Scarab's true power, if he were to let loose, few DC heroes would be able to compete with him. The Scarab has fought Dr. Fate evenly, and was sought after for its power by Arion, a Lord of Order who once fought a sentient universe, and won.

The Scarab has implied that it at least believes it can kill The Spectre, which most readers understandably take with a grain of salt, but it can certainly compete with him since it can match Dr. Fate in combat.

Jaime is constantly telling the Scarab not to use nuclear weapons, and to otherwise limit its damage output, but if he had to fight Superman, I imagine he wouldn't be so hesitant to give in to the Scarab's more ruthless instincts.
