"You sound more like a Fan Boy than a nemesis." —Aqualad

With the Titans scattered all over the world, Jump City is left without heroes. At the request of the main team, Titans East goes to the city and encounters Control Freak seeking the "real" Titans. Disappointed with what he considers to be the poor man's substitute, he sets up a series of tests for them.

Tropes:

• Improvised Weapon - Speedy's arrows are taken away for his challenge, so he ends up using himself as an arrow, and the bridge cables (plus tow truck to provide tension) as an improvised bow.
• Lower Deck Episode - This episode has most of the Titans absent, with the focus on the Honorary Titans.
