Building Foundations

When I first started creating Titan and his entire world I started with just the vague image of the hero I wanted. i knew the colours I wanted and I had a vague notion of his look. I knew what mask he would wear and I knew that he wouldn't have a cape he would have the a long flowing belt and the ends of his bandanna would be the same. What I had more than anything though was the villains and many of the key plot point for the series. I had been developing superheroes and super villains since I was a teenager and wanted to use all of the bets villains I had made as well as find ways to bring in the other heroes and give them guest spots or cameos. So before I had even fully designed my hero i had created the world of Delta City and and outlined all of my stories and then I went to work exclusively on Titan. Choosing his name was one of the last things I did. It was no easy task either as most good superrhero names are taken. I cold find no mention of a hero named Titan however in 2005, there was only the Teen Titans. plus, Titan worked perfect with the background I had created for the character. The very last thing was the symbol on his chest. That was the ,most iconic and cool thing I could come up with so I hope it will work alright.
