Comments:
This issue contains a pin-up of the original Teen Titans by George Perez.

Wonder Girl states that she does not know her true origins. She was rescued from a burning building by a fireman and has no connection to Wonder Woman which deviates substantially from the origin of her Earth-1 counterpart.

Synopsis:
The Teen Titans have a new computer installed in their headquarters. Most of the team goes out to see a movie. Danny remains behind to complete his homework. When he is unable to sleep or concentrate, Danny reviews the files Jericho has written concerning the origins of the Titan members.

The Titans later return to the Tower to find Danny finishing his reading. The computer then causes the Tower itself to attack the Titans. The team defends itself and is able to control the malfunctions. They discover that the programmer who installed the computer was the Wildebeest. Through Danny's review of the files, he was also able to gain access to information about the Titans.
