Warning: Potential Spoilers for Titans #7!

Raven stands as one of the most powerful heroes in the DC Universe, wielding a plethora of formidable abilities such as chronokinesis, telepathy, energy blasts, and more. Yet, this already overpowered Titan has recently acquired her most terrifying power yet, adding an extra layer of potency that is bound to make any villain think twice before crossing the Titans.

In Titans #7, by Tom Taylor and Travis Moore, the Titans successfully apprehend Brother Eternity, recently unveiled as Xand'r—a Tamaranean traitor responsible for Starfire's enslavement and her parents' demise.

Xand'r also played a pivotal role in the Phantom Zone.

Raven Now Has the Power to Send People to the Phantom Zone

Alone with Xand'r, Raven confronts him over his betrayal of Kori and the enslavement of Beast Boy to his Garro form. Unsurprisingly, Xand'r displays no remorse, opting instead for veiled threats and boasts about his power. Once his self-hyping is done, Raven delivers a pointed remark, stating, "You're not the first pathetic man to need something more powerful than yourself to worship." She then proceeds to make a comment about his chosen name, "Brother Eternity," implying its aptness for the duration she plans to banish him. Before he can respond, she uses her powers to send him to the Phantom Zone.

After banishing Xand'r to the Phantom Zone, she assures the Titans that he's no longer a threat. Upon the reveal of his whereabouts, the Titans are left in shock, with Flash asking gobsmacked, "You can do that?" This revelation highlights that none of the other were aware of this ability in Raven. While Superman may have dispatched villains to the Phantom Zone, it was usually through the use of technology. He lacks the instantaneous command that Raven seems to possess. Hence, it's truly chilling that she can, with a mere thought, consign anyone she wishes to a hellish prison.

Future Trauma Could Trigger Raven to Develop More Powers

It's crucial to note that Raven's development or, at least, her willingness to employ these powers emerged after experiencing severe trauma—the loss of Beast Boy to his Garro form. There might be a connection between trauma and her powers, whether that involves the emergence of new abilities or her newfound willingness to tap into her full potential in an effort to avenge her loved ones. Titans: Beast World #4 presents the actual death of Beast Boy, sparking curiosity about whether any new powers will manifest in Raven in response to the demise of her partner.

Titans #7 is available now from DC Comics.
