Teen Titans #5

Writer: Bob Haney

Pencils: Nick Cardy

Inks: Nick Cardy


The Teen Titans are called to an emergency at a summer camp for troubled teens. It’s not a maniac in a hockey mask murdering promiscuous counsellors, though. This was the Silver Age, nobody had sex back then. The Comics Code wouldn’t allow it.


The Titans catch the Ant in the act.

The Ant even interrupts a charity picnic.

Is this an issue of Teen Titans or a Roadrunner cartoon?

So, was he bitten by a radioactive ant?

And I'm sure the fact the Ant is not depicted in flashbacks of the Teen Titans or as a member in the modern day is in no way an indicator of anything happening to him later, like going into villainy full-time.
(Poor bugger doesn't even have a Wikipedia entry. He's just got a footnote.)

Eh, oh well. Probably for the best.
Insect-based superheroes. Pfft. Like that would ever catch on.
