Comments:
Speedy and Wonder Girl begin dating following this story.
Aqualad mentions that Aquaman is searching for Mera in this story which indicates that it takes place during the Mera's Quest serial in Aquaman #40 through Aquaman #48. Aqualad was injured at the beginning of that story and was hospitalized until Aquaman #42. He is captured by the Men of Eldfur in Aquaman #43 where he remains until Mera has been located. Therefore this story must occur chronologically between Aquaman #42 and Aquaman #43.
Synopsis:
His plans to defeat the Justice League mocked by Headmaster Mind, an old JLA foe, Punch, a teenage would-be-super-villain, vows to prove himself by destroying the Teen Titans first. Speedy rejoins the Titans, and he and Wonder Girl are captured by Punch when they investigate racial riots at a New England high school. At the same time, Robin, Kid Flash, and Aqualad are defeated by high-frequency sound and light devices while on a mission to a midwestern community. Reunited as Punch's prisoners, the Titans use teamwork to escape his traps and overcome the youthful villain and his followers. Afterward, Aqualad returns to Atlantis for an extended leave, ostensibly in order to look after the infant Aquababy while Aquaman is involved in a quest for his missing wife, Mera. Speedy becomes Aqualad's replacement among the Titans.
