New Titans Annual

Waverider reads an unconscious Nightwing to determine if he is fated to become the villain, Monarch. Instead, Waverider sees a bleak future where the son of Donna Troy, Lord Chaos, rules surpreme in the year 2001. Helping form a resistance, future-Nightwing is joined by several allies: Redwing, a bird girl that serves as his Robin-like sidekick; Kilowatt, a soldier crackling with electric energy; Mirage, an illusion casting woman who is in love with Nightwing; Nightrider, a heroic vampire, Prestor Jon, a living computer and and Terra, an identical doppelganger to the original psychotic traitor to the Titans. This resistance force is part of a larger network known as the Team Titans, led by an enigmatic leader from behind a computer screen. This leader claims he knew the Titans once, but his identity remains secret.

The Titans launch an attack on headquarters of the U.G. Corp, which stands on the site of Titans Tower. Looking to stop Lord Chaos’ distribution of mind-draining “numb dust,” the Titans barely escape with their lives. The Teamers return to their secret lair, and the leader reluctantly details his plan to his group: they must go back in time 10 years to kill Donna Troy before she can give birth to her son, who will turn out to be Lord Chaos.
