Herald (Mal Duncan) Teen Titans paper cutout
Iβm not 100% certain my son can name Herald. He can recognize him from his time on Teen Titans in the final season, but weβll see how often he remembers the name. But, he wanted more Teen Titans on his wall, and I figured Mal Duncan deserved the honour.
Mal first appeared in comics way back in 1970, becoming the ninth Teen Titan despite not having powers and one of the earliest African American superheroes in DC history. Heβs had a few different costumed identities since then, including the Guardian role he played in Young Justice (another character my son would recognize, but probably couldnβt name). So while he wasnβt that significant on the show, he is a very significant figure in the history of the Titans, and thus his inclusion on the wall is very appropriate.
I gotta say, I really dig the character design the show came up for him using the Herald identity. Even if the hood provided a not insignificant challenge for me in terms of paper layering.
