This character deserves the spotlight. A gentle person amongst others, Jericho( picture above) here has quite the story to tell. Though his looks change from comic book to comic book to the animated series, he's generally seen with blonde hair and some amount of white clothing. His role as hero and villain has changed over the course of the comic book version's history, though the animated series version (picture above) appears only a few times and suggests he never becomes a villian in their universe.
Jericho's most recognized ability is to possess a living person's body, even if their part robot or made of rock on the outside, and control them entirely. In this state, Jericho has full control over his host's functions, powers, and has access to their memory. All he needs to do to possess someone is to make direct eye contact with them and wish to possess them. Depending on whether or not his host is unconscious, he can talk while possessing them, though this only lasts as long as his host is unconscious. You see, Jericho here is actually mute, and can only talk through his unconscious hosts. If his host is conscious, Jericho can't talk, but his host is aware of what's happening and can speak, but can not fight back Jericho's control over them. In the comic books, Jericho can't possess meta-humans like superman, or at least not for long.
After looking into Jericho's past, your soon bound to find out about Jericho's father... None other than Slade Wilson, or Deathstroke as he is known as in the comic books. This is surprisingly not metioned at all in the animated series of Teen Titans. In the comic books, however, the Titans knew very well who Jericho's father was. They were wary of him, but after years of service, they trusted him like family, including his half-sister Rose, or Ravanger as she is known better as. Due to his numerous "body snatching," he grew insane for the multiple personalities of his hosts, including his father. He was actually killed once, but his spirit remained in one of his host. After being stopped a second time, being stored in a hard disk. A year after that, Raven revived him with a spell. In DC Rebirth, Jericho also appears, but now he's... Gay. With other men. Moving on. Thank God, this is only in the comic books.
Jericho being mute wasn't exactly he's idea. When Jericho was 11 years old, he was taken by a terrorist group known as Jackel. They wanted information from Slade, Jericho's father. When Slade refused and came to recuse him, Jericho's throat was slit by one of the men at Jackal. Though Jericho survived, his vocal cords were damaged. He couldn't talk again. He's mother decided to divorce Slade and take Jericho with her. During this time, Jericho discovered his possession ability. Supposedly he gained this ability was passed down from Slade from when he was experimented on years before Jericho was born. Jericho kept his abilities hidden and locked deep down for ages. In the meantime, he joined his mother in her secret government operation. In one mission, involving Slade, him and his mother were captured. When his mother was threatened at gunpoint, Jericho's powers suddenly reawoken and he used them to save his mother. Later down the line, he became one of the Teen Titans.
In the comic books, it was thanks to his possession ability that Jericho became the first titan to find out Raven was part demon. Jericho promised to keep it a secret from the others, and became close friends with Raven. Heck, the two of them had a brief relationship between them(I already hear fan-fics being made.😧). In the animated series, as previously mentioned, Jericho only appears in two episodes and it's never mentioned about Jericho's father being Slade, the titan's mortal enemy. Though Jericho has yet to appear in Teen Titans Go, he has appeared in the comic version of the cartoon.
