Warning: Potential Spoilers for TITANS: BEAST WORLD #6!
Nightwing’s revelation of his contingency plans for A-Lister Titans Donna Troy and Starfire goes beyond the usual doom and gloom associated with such plans. Remarkably heartwarming, these neutralization strategies contribute to the already amazing dynamic that Tom Taylor has crafted between these superpowered bombshells, and with the teasing of these plans, fans can’t help but want to see them put into action.
In Titans: Beast World #6 by Tom Taylor, Lucas Meyer, Brad Anderson, and others, Nightwing hands Wonder Girl a folder containing instructions on how to neutralize every active hero, including himself and Starfire, in the event they go rogue and need to be stopped. When Donna inquires about her own contingency plan, Nightwing confirms that Starfire has hers.
While these neutralization strategies represent worst-case scenarios, it’s heartwarming to see that Nightwing recognizes the growing bond between the two and trusts Starfire and Donna with each other’s fates in the event of a crisis.
BFFs Starfire and Donna Troy Hold Each Other’s Contingency Plans
Nightwing’s decision to entrust Kori’s contingency plan to Donna and vice versa is both heartwarming and strategic. Throughout the Titans and Titans: Beast World storylines, Starfire and Wonder Girl have emerged as the Titans’—perhaps even the DCU’s—most powerful heroes. From a tactical standpoint, it makes sense that the contingency plan for Most Powerful Titan A (Wonder Girl) would be Most Power Titan B (Starfire), and vice versa. Dick seems to have observed the growing bond between Starfire and Donna, factoring it into his decision, recognizing that trust is a crucial component of team dynamics, especially in matters involving contingency plans.
While the specifics of each contingency plan remain veiled in secrecy, it appears that the contingency plan for Kori involves Donna’s newly crafted chromium and kryptonite armor. When explaining the suit to Donna, Cyborg emphasizes that it’s a formidable challenge for both Kryptonians and Tamaraneans. Consequently, it’s likely that this suit will play a significant role in Wonder Girl’s contingency plan for Starfire. The deliberate mention of neutralization strategies for both Donna and Kori, coupled with their interconnectedness, raises speculation among fans about whether Tom Taylor is subtly foreshadowing a potential future storyline featuring a clash between Starfire and Wonder Girl.
Starfire and Donna Troy’s Storylines Are Intimately Intertwined With Each Other
Tom Taylor has consistently delighted fans invested in the Kori and Donna dynamic through his ongoing Titans and Titans: Beast World runs. He has taken special care to establish and foster the bond between Starfire and Donna Troy. Now, by revealing that they are integral to each other’s contingency plans, Taylor has strengthened their connection even more. It appears that Starfire and Wonder Girl’s narratives are intricately interwoven, creating anticipation for what Tom Taylor is building up to for these two Titans.
