Titans East & West: Locations

[Mauser]

Hey guys, a new question has come up.

So, basically the question is about the location of Titans East (Jump City), and Titans West (Steel City).

All we know for sure is that Jump City is connected to a very large body of water, most likely, an ocean. Now, whether it's the Atlantic or the Pacific is unknown.

If it's the Atlantic, then Jump City will have to be on the northern region of the east coast because the southern region doesn't get as much snow as Jump City did in the show.

If it's the Pacific, then the same thing. I'm not very familiar with the wheather patterns of California, or the west coast in general, but I do know that when you have a giant mountain range like the west side of the United States does it affect the wheather patterns. So, it wouldn't be impossible for snow.

As far as the comic goes. Originally, the first Titans Tower was on the east coast, and rather close to the New York area. The only thing about that is that the location of Titans Tower has changed throughout comic history. They moved from the east coast to the west coast, and as of right now, Titans "West" is on the west coast and they're the good guys while Titans "East" is going to be in New York and they're the bad guys headed by Slade.

So really, it's whatever we decided. If we want we can try to stay true to both the original comic and the cartoon as best we can (since the cartoon was based off the original comic to start with). If we do that though, that'll leave us to come up with an explanation for where Titans West was/is/went/etc.

So, thoughts?

Well, I have two suggestions.

1) If Purposes is taking place after season 5 of the Teen Titans, then we can just say that Titans West decided to disband, or relocate, after the incident with The Brotherhood Of Evil.

2) If Purposes is taking place in a seperate universe from the actual Teen Titans Cartoon Universe, then we can just say that Titans West was never formed, or that it was formed somewhere else (perhaps under a different name since it would no longer be "west").

Well, there's my "thoughts" on the topic for now.

Behold, the 10 largest cities in the United States. We could claim one of these as our own, and rename it. (I'm also posting this in the "Purposes: Setting" Thread)

1: New York, New York; Northeastern U.S. - Near Atlantic Ocean, Not many mountains.

2: Los Angeles, California; Western U.S. - Near Pacific Ocean, and relatively close to mountains.

3: Chicago, Illinois; Midwestern U.S. - Near Lake Michigan, Not many mountains.

4: Houston, Texas; Southwestern U.S. - Near Gulf of Mexico, Not many mountains.

5: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Northeastern U.S. - Near the Atlantic Ocean as well as the Appalachian Mountains, but not very close to either. Kind of right between the two.

6: San Diego, California; Western U.S. - Near Pacific Ocean, Desert.

7: Phoenix, Arizona; Southwestern U.S. - Smack in the middle of the Desert. No mountains, and no large bodies of water.

8: San Antonio, Texas; Southwestern U.S. - No mountains, Desert. Relatively close to the Gulf of Mexico.

9: Dallas, Texas; Southwestern U.S. - No mountains, no large bodies of water. Not exactly a Desert, but it's getting there. Closest mountans are the Ouachita Mountains right at the edge of the Ozark Plateau.

10: Detroit, Michigan; Midwestern U.S. - No mountains, close to the Great Lakes as well as Canada. I figure it gets rather cold, but I have heard that it has crazy weather.


There you go, the 10 largest cities in the U.S. as well as minor descriptions.

The original Titans Tower, belonging to the original Teen Titans (Titans "East" I guess.) Was probably in New York.

The Titans West Titans Tower was probably somewhere like San Francisco, Los Angeles, etc.
