Warning! Spoilers ahead for Batman/Superman: World’s Finest #28!A classic character from the Teen Titans animated series has finally made his way to the Prime DC Universe. A powerful threat from the Sixth Dimension has come to fight the Earth’s greatest champion. But one classic cartoon character joins the fight to put an end to the all-powerful Doom-Mite.

In Batman/Superman: World’s Finest #28 by Mark Waid, Dan Mora, and Travis Mercer, Doom-Mite has decreed that Earth’s mightiest hero is Jimmy Olsen and prepares to battle him. Mxyzptlk gives Jimmy a hand by transferring the imp’s Fifth-Dimensional power to Olsen. Unfortunately, it appears that Doom-Mite squishes Jimmy mid-battle.

As it turns out, Jimmy just transported himself to the Fifth-Dimension where he found and rallied the Just-Us League’s last remaining members to fight Doom-Mite. The newly-empowered Jimmy Olsen returns with several mites modeled after the DC Univerese’s greatest heroes, including a suspiciously familiar imp modeled after Robin, the Boy Wonder.

Teen Titans’ Larry the Imp Comes to the DC Universe

The 2003 cartoon introduced a lot of original characters during its short run, but few were as memorable as Larry. Larry debuted in Teen Titans episode “Fractured” as a duplicate of Robin from another dimension (particularly Dimension 4 and 9/8s). Like Bat-Mite, he was a reality-bending imp that happened to be a huge fan of his role model and like Mister Mxyzptlk, he had a nonsensical name, Nosyarg Kcid (‘Dick Grayson’ spelled backward). Like most imps, Larry was a nuisance more than a legit threat, though he ultimately proved himself to be an asset and got Robin’s respect.

To be fair, the imp who joins the fray in the end isn’t named. However, rather than a yellow ‘R’ on his chest, the imp has a lowercase ‘L’, possibly for Larry. Interestingly enough, Larry’s possible debut comes nearly two years after the debut of Nite-Mite, Dick Grayson’s ‘Bat-Mite’ equivalent. Nite-Mite more or less served the same role that Larry did in the cartoon, but it’s still a welcome sight for fans of the animated series. The cartoon may be a few decades old by this point, but bringing in original characters like Teen Titan’s Larry presents fun storytelling opportunities.

Bringing Teen Titans Characters to the DCU Has Potential for Fun

Teen Titans was a huge show back in the early 2000s and helped a lot of fans get interested in the DC Universe. Bringing characters from the animated series into the DC Universe is a fun way of honoring the beloved show and expanding the world in fun new ways. Who knows what kind of fun adventures Larry could get up to now that he’s around to pester Robin? Hopefully fans will be seeing more of the mischievous Teen Titans animated series character now that he’s a part of DC canon.

Batman/Superman: World’s Finest #28 is available now from DC Comics.
