~ Herald to Punk Rocket |
Herald is one of the many Honorary Titans from the show Teen Titans and comics. His power is to create portals with his horn and is a skilled hand to hand combatant.
He was voiced by Khary Payton.
Teen Titans
Herald is first seen in the episode "Calling All Titans", in which he saves Raven from jellyfish creatures in his dimension. Raven then gives him a communicator to call for help. He is later attacked by See-More and Warp, both of which he defeats.
Herald then appears in the episode "Titans Together", in which he is one of the few Titan-affiliated heroes that manage to evade capture and partners with fellow survivors Beast Boy, Más, Pantha, and Jericho. The five succeed in infiltrating the Brotherhood's fortress in Paris and ultimately freeing the captured heroes. Eventually, Herald himself is called upon to save everyone when the Brain, forced into retreat, triggers a massive bomb designed to take out the entire complex. After all the villains were defeated, Herald is seen again at the end of the episode helping the other Titans recapture Dr. Light.
Appearance
Herald is a African-American, well-built Titan. His cape is connected to his hood, which is blue. Herald wears a gray mask which covers the top section of his face. He has two silver circles right below his shoulders and they are connected by a silver bar which keeps his costume intact. His chest and torso are also covered by a blue tunic with a picture of his weapon on it. He wears a silver belt, and his arms and legs are covered by black clothing, and he wears silver gloves and blue boots.
Personality
Herald is a pretty laid back and casual individual. He seems to like music quite a bit, as he uses phrases like "let's jam!" and "I love a duet!".
Abilities
Herald possesses a magical trumpet. Thanks to his own skill in trumpet playing, he can use it to open up multi-dimensional portals, and generating sonic blasts, which is used to shove enemies into his portals. Likewise, Herald can use his horn as a physical weapon. He is also skilled in hand-to-hand combat, as he was able to deliver many flying kicks to Adonis, Mammoth, Mumbo, and Psimon without being stopped.
