WARNING: Spoilers for TITANS #15!The Titans’iconic catchphrase,“Titans Together!”has taken on a whole new meaning as theNightwing-led team unlocks DC’s version of Marvel’s Infinity Gauntlet, crafting one of the most overpowered weapons in the DCU. What’s particularly unique about this new weapon is that only the Titans can wield it, ensuring that it will never fall into the wrong hands.
Tom Taylor, Lucas Meyer, and Adriano Lucas’Dark-Winged Queenstorylinecomes to a close inTitans#15. In this issue, fans witness Raven and the Titans battling her dark counterpart, the Dark-Winged Queen, along with her father, Trigon. However, the story takes a turn when the two Ravens settle their differences and decide to merge.
Despite this union, the Dark-Winged Queen and Raven still lack the power to defeat Trigon. Fortunately, Raven isn’t alone in her fight; the rest ofthe Titans volunteer to become temporary gemstones in her crown, empowering her to unprecedented levelsand essentially crafting DC’s own version of an ‘Infinity Crown.’
“Infinity Crown”is not the official name used inTitans#15; this is a Screen Rant-given nickname for the unnamed power-up.
“Titans Together”: Nightwing’s Titans Come Together to Create Raven’s Soul Gem Crown
Raven’s Soul Gem Crown Is the DC Equivalent to Marvel’s Infinity Gauntlet
Previously in theTitansseries, theDark-Winged Queen had fashioned a crownof soul gems made up of Raven and her half-demon brothers. However, Tempest successfully destroyed the crown, freeing Raven from her imprisonment. Despite Raven and the Dark-Winged Queen now being one, Raven doubts her power to take on Trigon without the crown. Nightwing responds by telling her to build a new one using the Titans. He then calls out the iconic Titan catchphrase,“Titans Together,”which is promptly followed by the Titans being forged into gems and assembled to form a crown that gives a whole new meaning to the Titans coming together as one.
The comparison betweenRaven’s Titans-infused crown and Marvel’s Infinity Gauntlet arises from the parallels between the crown’s gems and the Infinity Gauntlet’s stones.Like the Infinity Stones, each of the soul gems boasts different powers, reflecting each Titan’s individual abilities. Ultimately, when combined, they create an overpowered weapon that the bearer can use to wield unparalleled power. Visually,the Infinity Gauntletand the Titan Crown are also similar, featuring multicolored ‘stones.’ Therefore, this is the closest thing that DC has to a version of the Infinity Gauntlet, even if the power levels and capabilities aren’t an exact match.

Adorning her crown with the Titans' forged gems allows Raven to channel and amplify each Titan’s powers, boosting their overall power levels to unprecedented heights. Through Beast Boy’s narration and the accompanying art, fans witness Raven harness her teammates' abilities in her battle against her father. Notably, Garfield calls outRaven using Donna Troy’s willpower, Cyborg’s Apokoliptian technology, and the full force of the stars derived from her connection to Starfire’s Tamaranean powers.Ultimately, it is the combination of all the Titans' powers that enables Raven to defeat Trigon.
Among the powers Raven channels, it is Tempest’s that delivers the final blow. During the battle, Garth is startled to discover that Trigon bleeds, andhe has Raven use his ability to control the currents of water to affect the demon’s blood, stopping his heart.This is by far the darkest use of Tempest’s powers that fans have ever seen, showcasing the Atlantean’s abilities, especially when enhanced by Raven. With Trigon effectively suffering a heart attack, Raven seizes the moment to plunge her axe through her father’s chest. With Trigon defeated, she releases the Titans from their gemstones as they watch the demon"fade away."

Is This New Titan-Combining Ability Here to Stay?

As fans of the Rangers know, each hero pilots a Zord—a massive mechanical vehicle or creature—and when they come together, they combine their Zords to create the formidable Megazord. The Power Rangers can seamlessly combine and disassemble at will, prompting the question of whether the Titans will utilize this new team-combining ability in future storylines, as their approach seems remarkably similar to how the Megazord works.
