For more than two years, Player First and Warner Bros. Games introduced several new fighters from the many properties of Warner Bros. Super Smash Bros– like a fighting game MultiVersus. From classic cartoons like Looney Tunes' Bugs Bunny to new, more adult-oriented characters such as Game of ThronesArya Stark, MultiVersus became a kind of celebration for all Warner Bros. media. Most of the game roster was filled with iconic DC Comics heroes and villains, including Superman and Nubia the Amazon. MultiVersus expands on this trend by introducing its Teen Titans fighter, Raven, who was recently added to Season 4 of the game.

The MultiVersus roster leaves one character type in the dust
Today, MultiVersus has a pretty strong roster, but even after some great additions in recent months, the character type is still weird.
MultiVersus' Raven breakdown
Being one of DC Comic's most famous magical superheroes, MultiVersus“The Raven was designed to be a mage fighter/ranger. Here, she can cast the Azarath Metrion Zintas incantation to use some of her most famous soul and chaos magic abilities, such as summoning a soul-based raven as a short projectile and stationary hazard. Additionally, she can use her chaos magic to briefly trap enemies in the air in a black void, create a temporary energy shield, and release a wave of chaos magic to engulf nearby opponents. As in the comics and television, Raven uses her powers to create black circles around her hands.
Just like with all the other fighters in the MultiVersusplayers can customize Raven with multiple outfits based on her various incarnations. Raven's gameplay trailer showed her in her standard MultiVersus outfit, a casual outfit based on her appearance with Teen Titans: Raven comic by Kami Garcia and Gabriel Piccolo, and in an outfit based on her appearance in the animated film Justice League Dark: Apocalypse War. A scaled-up version of Superman with altered skin, based on his demon-possessed Trigon Apocalypse war also featured is the fight against Ravenclaw in the Azarath Metrion Zintas event. When enough damage is dealt, Raven's magic will absorb her, revealing her four-eyed demonic face from Trigon's father and giving her a temporary boost in speed, damage power, and knockback.
Raven is equipped with 15 moves, including:
- Shadow Flight's rice attack

Raven's potential influence in MultiVersus
While Raven is the first member of the Teen Titans to join MultiVersus as a playable fighter, her popularity could lead to the inclusion of every Teen Titan in the game. In DC Comics, the Teen Titans are usually made up of sidekicks and other lesser-known young heroes, such as Green Arrow's sidekick Roy “Speedy” Harper, Young Amazon Donna Troy, Wally West's Kid Flash, and others. However, the more common and popular members of the Teen Titans usually include Dick Grayson Robin, Starfire, Ravenclaw, Beast Boy, and Cyborg. Although the line originally appeared in comics, it became popular in 2003 Teen Titans animated series 2013 Teen Titans Go! Cartoon series of 2018 Titans live series.
Given that Teen Titans or Titans comics are still in circulation and Teen Titans Go! series is still in production as DC's longest-running show to date, it would make sense for Warner Bros. took advantage of this popularity by introducing the rest of the Titans to MultiVersus fight alongside Raven. Player First Games could introduce Beast Boy as he often has a close relationship with Raven and his ability to transform into any animal could go well with MultiVersus' stupid design. MultiVersus then it would be possible to introduce robin with batman and show the outfits of nightwing and all the other robins. Finally, Warner Bros. could add Cyborg and Starfire as tanks and ranged fighters to balance out the game. While this is just speculation, if the recently released Raven proves to be popular, it would be a no-brainer to keep releasing more Teen Titans content.
