But before Slade will hire the new Hive Agents, he requires that they pass one 'final exam' -- they must destroy the Teen Titans. And much to the Titans surprise, the well-organized, strictly-disciplined Hive Agents nearly accomplish their mission. Will our tattered heroes regroup and come back strong -- or is this the end of the Teen Titans? Posted Image Lauren Tom as Jinx and Gizmo Kevin Michael Richardson as Mammoth Ron Perlman as Slade Andrea Romano, the show's voice director, provides the voice of Hive Academy's headmistress Posted Image Posted ImageFirst appearance of Slade, Gizmo, Mammoth and Jinx. Posted ImageThis is the third episode produced although it is the first aired. Posted Image Glen Murakami on FINAL EXAM: Besides action and humor, interaction will be an important part of the series. "Every story has a moral that I think kids can relate to," said Mr. Murakami. "The third episode, 'Final Exam,' is kind of about being bullied. 'Sisters' is about sibling rivalry and Starfire learning about herself. And I think the Titans' problems are something that kids have to deal with." Every good story is what its metaphor should be. Instead of getting very specific, we tend to choose stories that everyone can relate to. We think that everyone can relate to being bullied. You don't have to be a superhero or a robot hybrid to know what that feels like. Same thing with sibling rivalry - it's a universal problem. We make the show fun, though, and it's about superheroes doing their thing. And that's how it avoids becoming an after-school special. We're not hitting the audience over the head with anything. Posted Image Gizmo, Mammoth and Jinx are all members of the Fearsome Five, a villianous group that plagued the Titans from time to time. Gizmo was a middle-aged midget, Mammoth was a slow-witted behemoth and Jinx was an elemental sorceress who hailed from India. The Fearsome Five first battled the Titans in New Teen Titans [first series] #3 and #7. Jinx joined later in Tales of the Teen Titans #56-58. The H.I.V.E. was formed by the H.I.V.E. Master - who gathered together seven other criminal scientists. The H.I.V.E. would try to gain world domination through terrorism and political manipulation. Later, the H.I.V.E. sought to destroy the Teen Titans, who they perceived as a potential threat. The H.I.V.E. appeared in New Teen Titans [first series] #2 and plagued the team until they were finally defeated in Tales of the Teen Titans #45-47. The H.I.V.E. Recruited a bitter young man, Grant Wilson, and granted him powers. Wilson became the Ravager and tried to kill the Titans. However, Ravager died in battle and the contract he signed to destroy the Titans was taken over by his father, Slade Wilson (aka Deathstroke, the Terminator in the comic books). This started an ongoing fued which began in New Teen Titans [first series] #2, and continued in #10, 34, 39 and Tales of the Teen Titans #42-44 and Annual #3. In the cartoon, he is known as Slade.
