DC Comics continuity shifts across decades of reboots, leaving major figures sidelined in the omniverse.

Joseph Wilson debuted in Tales of the Teen Titans #42 in 1984 as the son of Deathstroke. He joined the team before corruption by the Souls of Azarath turned him against his allies.
The contemporary version retains only his connection to Slade Wilson.
Karen Beecher-Duncan and Mal Duncan appeared in DC Comics
Karen Beecher-Duncan received an upgraded battle suit and power set during DC Comics Rebirth in 2016. Psimon’s mental powers later caused memory loss that required restoration.
Mal Duncan worked as The Herald and The Guardian before stepping back. The pair appeared in The Other History of the DC Universe in 2021.
Bette Kane as Flamebird
Bette Kane started as Bat-Girl alongside the original Batwoman. She later adopted the Flamebird persona for West Coast Teen Titans operations.

Mia Dearden as Speedy
Green Arrow rescued Mia Dearden and trained her as his ward. She joined the Teen Titans and disclosed her HIV-positive status to the team.
“It isn't until The New 52 (2011) reboot that the character's history is redefined, and we're left to assume she never becomes Speedy,” the source text said regarding Mia Dearden. Her tenure as Speedy was removed from the updated continuity.
