Tara Markov

Tara Markov is a young woman of royal blood from the fictional Balkan nation of Markovia who debuted in DC Comics' The New Teen Titans #26 (1982). She possesses the power to psionically manipulate earth and rock, and becomes entangled with the Teen Titans under circumstances that are far more complicated than they first appear.

Few Bronze Age debuts left a mark quite like Tara Markov's arrival in The New Teen Titans #26 in 1982, courtesy of the legendary team of Marv Wolfman and George Pérez. She's woven into the fabric of DC's Titans mythology, sharing pages with icons like Victor Stone, Donna Troy, Robin, and Koriand'r across a run that has stretched — remarkably — into the 2020s. With five key-issue appearances to her name and a presence felt across The New Teen Titans, Titans, and even the all-ages delight Tiny Titans, Tara Markov is a character whose footprint in comics far outgrows her page count, and any serious Titans fan knows her story is absolutely essential reading.
