The Titans East is a group of teenage superheroes in Teen Titans Go!, which consists of Bumblebee, Speedy, Aqualad and Más y Menos.
Biography
The Titans East are a group of teenage superheroes affiliated with the Teen Titans. They are part of the Titans International, located on the east coast of the United States (hence their team name).
As shown in Flashback, Before the Teen Titans were formed, Aqualad, Speedy, and Bumblebee receive flyers from Robin for tryouts to be a Teen Titans. During the tryouts, they experience Robin's temper torwards the other superheroes that would later become his teammates. Because of this, Kid Flash suggests that they kick Robin out and that he should be the leader instead, to which Bumblebee, Speedy and Aqualad agree to. They take the Titans Tower and form their team.
Later on, Kid Flash and the others are challenged by Robin's team to a competition to take back the Tower and to reclaim Robin's status as leader. Eventually, the Titans overthrow Kid Flash, breaking his leg and throwing him out of the Tower. Hobbling away, Kid Flash suggests that they should form the Titans East on the East Coast.
Sometime later, Más y Menos joined the Titans East, and Kid Flash left the team, leaving Bumblebee to be the leader of the team.
Every year, the Titans East throw a party inviting several heroes around the world to come and celebrate with them, as shown in "Starliar". However, the Teen Titans ruined their party from last year. The Titans East banned all of the members of the Teen Titans (except Starfire) from ever coming to their parties again.
The whole team appeared again in "Yearbook Madness", dining at the Yum Yum Kitty Diner in Jump City. Robin shows up and forces all of the members (except for Speedy) to sign his yearbook.
The team briefly appeared in "Snuggle Time", when getting tortured by the Legion of Doom (the Titans villainous team counterpart).
The team was seen competing in Justice League's Next Top Talent Idol Star, with Bumblebee twirling hoops, Aqualad juggling swordfish, Speedy shooting arrows, and Más y Menos tap dancing.
They were seen again in Costume Contest. While Aqualad was seen as a prisoner in the H.I.V.E. Tower, the rest of the team was seen attending the Costume Party.
