HERALD
![]()
The Teen Titans found themselves on a race around the world against the Brotherhood of Evil, who were trying to eliminate teen superheroes for their own sinister purposes. Along the way, the Titans rallied a collection of new allies to their cause!In the bizarre realm known as Dimension X, Raven recruited the Herald, whose mystical horn leaves criminals crying the blues; Able to open dimensional portals with his mystical trumpet, Herald sends super-villains packing.
When Robin was abducted by the Brotherhood, it was up to Beast Boy to save his captured teammates. Gathering new allies Jericho, Herald, Pantha and Mas, Beast Boy successfully led an assault team to liberate the Titans and defeat the Brotherhood once and for all.
Mal Duncan first joined the Teen Titans without any powers or super-hero identity. He later donned a special costume and became Guardian. He later abandoned that and brandished a magic horn as Hornblower - and later, became known as Herald!
Herald was romantically linked to Bumblebee in the Teen Titans comics. They later married and went into semi-retirement from super-heroing.
Khary Payton - voice of Herald - also provides the voice for Cyborg.
