Summary

• Raven surprises readers by showing she can control Green Lantern constructs, making her a formidable opponent.
• Raven's ability to control these constructs is apparently not a new development but something she has known about.
• Raven's immense powers make her one of the most powerful of the Teen Titans, causing fear of what she could do if she went evil.

During one of DC's darkest events, readers discovered the surprising hidden power of the fan-favorite Green Lantern — Raven showed a shocking ability that proves she'd be able to take down any Green Lantern she goes up against. While Raven's power is no secret, few know just how strong she is against Green Lanterns.

The DC Universe is invaded by evil versions of Bruce Wayne during Dark Knights Rising: The Wild Hunt #1 by Scott Snyder, Grant Morrison, James Tynion IV, Joshua Williamson, and more. This includes a Batman with a Green Lantern ring who goes by Dawnbreaker. This version of Bruce allowed the darkness of his parents' death to infect his ring, and it makes him an absurdly dangerous villain — right up until he meets Raven.

Up until this point in the story, Dawnbreaker had managed to defeat everyone he came up against, but when he unleashes his dark constructs against Raven, shockingly, she simply takes control of them with little effort.

Raven Can Control Light-Based Green Lantern Constructs

Every member of the Titans is pretty powerful, but Raven has always been a step above. As the daughter of the demon Trigon, Raven has immense magical abilities and has shown abilities no one would ever expect her to have, such as banishing people to the Phantom Zone on a whim. She has full control over her soul, can generate hellfire, and has full control over shadows as well. All of these powers make Raven one of the heavy hitters on the Titans team. But even with all of this power, not even Bruce Wayne expected her to be able to control Green Lantern constructs.

During the battle with Dawnbreaker, Raven easily takes command of and redirects Dawnbreaker's constructs, which completely takes him out of the fight. The most alarming thing about this is that Raven isn't even surprised that she can do this. In fact, she seems to have been planning to do it from the very start. Just like her ability to send people to the Phantom Zone, this isn't something Raven recently discovered about herself, but something she's always had inside her — which begs the terrifying question of just how powerful Raven actually is.

Raven was a major player in DC's Beast World event, and her story will have major ramifications across the DCU in 2024 and beyond.

Is Raven the Most Powerful Teen Titan?

Raven has always been a terrifying character in some regards, but that's usually because of her demonic heritage instead of her inherent abilities. Her father desperately wants to destroy the world, and he wants her at his side as he does it. There are several realities where Raven becomes a full demon in service of her father, and as scary as that is, it's only made all the more terrifying when one re the abilities Raven has access to as well. Between controlling Green Lantern constructs and banishing people to the Phantom Zone, if Raven ever went truly evil, there's no way the Teen Titans could stop her.
