Raven’s New Powers Make Her Stronger Than Scarlet Witch
In the latest issue of Titans #13 by Tom Taylor and Daniele Di Nicuolo, Raven demonstrates powers that rival those of Marvel’s Scarlet Witch. Raven, a key figure in the Titans, has now showcased her ability to alter reality itself. Her darker side, aiming to become the Dark-Winged Queen, has made a significant move by manipulating her teammates’ perceptions to think they are planning to move their base away from Blüdhaven.
During this intense sequence, the evil Raven, also known as Doctor Hate, confronts Nightwing. She’s frustrated that she can’t penetrate his mind and interrogates him. All the while, the good Raven is trapped inside a gem, unable to help. Just when it seems the Titans might rescue Nightwing, Raven’s powerful magic resets reality.
This display of power is reminiscent of Scarlet Witch, who is known for her reality-warping abilities. Raven’s actions, although not as expansive as those seen in Scarlet Witch’s ‘House of M’ scenario, are nonetheless impressive. Her manipulation shows that she’s not just powerful; she’s growing stronger.
After separating from her better half, Raven fell into Amanda Waller’s plot against the Titans, helping to establish ‘Beast World’. She even overpowered her doppelgänger, trapping her within a gem. Now allied with Trigon, her powers are set to increase further as she aims to dominate the world and command the Titans as her army.
This escalation of Raven’s abilities is just the beginning. As she lulls her friends into a false sense of security, she’s free to accumulate more strength, potentially surpassing Scarlet Witch in terms of power.
Titans #13 hits shelves on July 17th from DC Comics, and it’s a crucial chapter for fans and new readers alike. Raven’s journey into deeper and darker magic is not just a plot twist; it’s a setup for her to ascend as a formidable force in the superhero realm. We might just be seeing the rise of a new queen of magic.
