Who Voices Marvel Raven In The New Animated Series?

I get excited whenever someone brings up names like Raven, because comics love reusing cool monikers. If by Raven you mean the Marvel character whose real name is Raven Darkhölme — better known as Mystique — then she was created by writer Chris Claremont and artist Dave Cockrum. Her first notable comic appearance is in 'Ms. Marvel' #16 (1978), and Claremont and Cockrum are usually credited with shaping her look and mysterious vibe. That said, comic-book naming is messy. Marvel has used the name Raven for a few very minor characters over the years, and fans sometimes confuse Marvel’s Raven with the DC one from 'Teen Titans'. If you’re hunting specific credits or an original creator for a different Raven, I’m happy to dig into the exact issue — tell me which comic or era you saw the name in, and I’ll track it down. Makes me want to flip through those old floppy issues again.

If you meant the moody, hooded empath from the Teen Titans, then you're actually talking about a DC character, not Marvel. Raven (the one who pulls out shadows and talks to souls) made her comics debut in 'DC Comics Presents' #26 in 1980. She was created by Marv Wolfman and George Pérez and got most of her character development in the early '80s through the launch of 'The New Teen Titans', where her backstory — being the daughter of a human mother and the demon Trigon — really took shape. I still get a little giddy thinking about how that era fused gothic vibes and superhero soap opera. The comic run set up everything later adaptations leaned on: the conflicted anti-heroine, the emotional control theme, and those unforgettable costume and color motifs. If you're tracking the character across media, check out the animated 'Teen Titans' series from the 2000s and the live-action 'Titans' where Rachel Roth is a modern, grittier take — both of those draw heavily from that original early-'80s comic DNA.

When I line them up in my head, DC's 'Raven' feels like a walking magic toolbox while Marvel tends to split those tools across a few different folks. DC Raven (Rachel Roth) is primarily an empath and a sorceress: she can sense and manipulate emotions, project her 'soul-self' as a raven-shaped astral form that can travel, fight, and interact with the physical world, and she has telekinetic and teleportation abilities tied into her mystic nature. Because of Trigon in her origin, she can tap into dark mystical energy—funnels of shadow, defensive shields, energy blasts—and her power scale can spike dramatically when Trigon’s influence is involved. She’s also vulnerable in interesting, story-rich ways: emotional stability matters. Let her anger or grief out of control and she becomes a danger to herself and others. Marvel doesn’t really have a single character who matches all of that under the name 'Raven'. The closest name overlap is Raven Darkholme—better known as Mystique—who is a shapeshifter with long life, enhanced agility and combat skill, and high tactical smarts. Her powers are biological, not mystical: mimicry, infiltration, stealth, and resilience. If you want Marvel analogues for DC Raven’s particular toolkit, you’d point to multiple people: emotional/mental powers go to telepaths like Jean Grey or Psylocke, teleportation to Nightcrawler, and raw chaos-magic vibes to someone like Scarlet Witch. So in short: DC 'Raven' is a compact package of magic, empathy, and astral projection; Marvel spreads those game-changing traits among several specialized heroes and villains, and the name 'Raven' in Marvel usually means shapeshifting mischief rather than soul-magic. I personally love how that contrast lets each universe explore different emotional beats—DC leans mystical and internal, Marvel tends to make the powers fit varied roles across a cast.

There are two ways to read this question, and I find that fun — one is the Raven everyone thinks of from 'Teen Titans' (DC), and the other is Raven Darkhölme, which is actually Mystique in Marvel lore. If you meant the DC Raven, the short version is: extremely unlikely. Warner Bros./DC owns that character for screen adaptations, and unless we get some wild corporate swap or an unprecedented studio crossover, Raven from 'Teen Titans' popping up in the MCU just doesn't line up with how rights and properties have been handled so far. I love imagining it — a gothic teleporting empath showing up in a stinger scene next to Doctor Strange — but practically, it's a long shot. If, however, you meant Raven Darkhölme (Mystique) — yes, that is a Marvel character. Mystique was a big part of the Fox 'X-Men' universe, and because of Disney acquiring Fox, the cinematic rights to mutants returned to Marvel Studios. That opens the door, but it isn’t a guarantee. Marvel has been slowly introducing the multiverse and working mutants into its narrative; projects like 'Deadpool 3' are explicitly gateways to integrating mutant characters into the MCU. Still, there hasn’t been any official announcement that Mystique (using the name Raven Darkhölme) will appear in an upcoming MCU film. So where does that leave us? I’m cautiously optimistic if you mean the Marvel-side Raven — the legal roadblock is gone, and the narrative paths (multiverse, 'Deadpool 3', future mutant arcs) make an appearance possible. If you mean DC’s Raven, keep dreaming and enjoy fan art — crossovers are juicier as wishful thinking right now. Either way, I’m keeping my fingers crossed and my fan-casting list updated.

I get a little thrill hunting down official merch, so here’s the long version I use when I’m trying to find a legitimate Marvel item tied to the name Raven (if you mean Raven Darkhölme — aka Mystique from 'X-Men' — see below). Official sources I check first: Marvel's own shop at shop.marvel.com for apparel and smaller collectibles, Hasbro Pulse and Funko Shop for toys and Pops, Sideshow and Hot Toys for high-end statues and figures, and licensed retailers like Entertainment Earth, Zavvi (UK), Hot Topic and BoxLunch for apparel and exclusives. If you’re in a hurry, Amazon, Target and Walmart often carry officially licensed pieces — but always look for the Marvel logo on the product page and seller listing. For older or rare items I’ve had luck with the official store pages of manufacturers (Hasbro, Funko, Sideshow) and with verified sellers on eBay; check seller ratings and photos. If you actually meant Raven from 'Teen Titans' (DC), then head to shop.dccomics.com or retailers that carry DC licenses instead. A few personal tips: save screenshots of official product pages, compare SKU or UPC numbers, and check for Marvel-licensed tags or holograms on photos. I once tracked a Mystique variant for months via alerts on Entertainment Earth and it finally popped up — patience pays off.

I've been a fan of 'Teen Titans' for years, and Raven has always been one of my favorite characters. Her complex personality and mysterious aura make her stand out. While the show doesn't explicitly state her sexuality, there's a lot of subtext and fan interpretation that suggests she could be queer. Many fans point to her interactions with other female characters and her overall demeanor as hints. The comics have explored her character more deeply, and some storylines do lean into her being LGBTQ+. It's one of those things where the creators leave it open to interpretation, which I think is pretty cool because it lets fans see themselves in her.

Raven in 'Reborn as Raven in DC but as a Futa' is a powerhouse of dark magic and psychic abilities. Her signature move, the soul-self, lets her detach a part of her consciousness to scout or attack enemies from a distance. She can manipulate shadows, creating barriers or tendrils to restrain foes. Her empathic powers allow her to sense and influence emotions, making her formidable in psychological warfare. Beyond raw power, she has access to interdimensional travel, slipping between realms effortlessly. Her demonic heritage grants enhanced durability and resistance to most physical attacks. In this reimagined version, her futa nature might amplify her abilities, perhaps adding unique twists like energy absorption or reality distortion. The blend of classic DC traits and fresh interpretations keeps her character dynamic and unpredictable.

In 'The 100', no, Raven does not die. Despite facing numerous threats and challenges throughout the series, her character's resilience and determination keep her alive till the end. She plays an essential role in the group's survival, showcasing impressive technical and survival skills.
