ThatHashtagShow has learned that in the Titans series premiere, the heroes will face the Acolyte, described as male, African-American, confident, and between 40 and 50 years of age. The character will apparently murder Raven’s mother. According to the report, Angela (Raven’s adopted mother) will be killed by the Acolyte in his attempt to kidnap Raven and use her powers for his own gains.
The Acolyte, who debuted in Young Justice #9 in 1999, has had limited appearances in the comic books. The character is supposedly an immortal with the appearance of a devil. However, despite how frightening he may appear, the Acolyte is eventually revealed to be a fraud in the comics. He’s actually a mentally-disturbed human wearing a disguise. In his battles with the superhero group Young Justice, the Acolyte’s plans have included replacing God and resurrecting a Hindu goddess.
The news of the Acolyte’s involvement in the story gives strong indications of what Titans intends for the character of Raven, the daughter of the demon, Trigon. It appears that Raven will have lived a normal life on Earth until the events of the the TV show begin. In the comic books, Angela was Raven’s real mother. Raven and Angela were separated for years until Angela finally began raising her when she was ten years old.
Years later, Angela fled to Earth to gather a group of heroes to defeat Trigon. Her efforts were what led to the formation of the New Teen Titans in 1980. The New Teen Titans (Robin, Cyborg, Beast Boy, Starfire, and Raven) is actually the line-up that most fans are familiar with today. Though the Acolyte’s inclusion in the story is a new twist on the origin of the Teen Titans, it appears that the importance of Raven’s mother will carry over into the live-action TV series.
