EVALUATION SUMMARY
for
RAVEN
The subject was one of the original five Teen Titans. She stands five feet seven inches tall and weighs 130 pounds. She is approximately 18 years old. Even she is not certain of her exact age as she professes to have come here from Azarath, a country in another dimension. I, of course, cannot confirm this but I also know of no reason to doubt her. I spoke to personnel at S.T.A.R. Labs and sent an email to the Justice League. Both organizations say that they accept this account of her origins.
This issue, her place of birth, is relevant because there is a very real question as to whether it is appropriate to apply standards of behavior and thought, of state of mind developed for people from this country and Jump City to such a person. At some point in dealing with metahumans of unusual origin, the issue of which standards are appropriate to apply to which subject will have to be considered. As yet, there is scant discussion of this issue in any of the peer reviewed journals of this profession.
However, this question becomes a moot point because I find that the subject is a fine example of a heroine and that she adheres to all the highest standards of behavior.
The subject has very light gray skin, and purple hair. She is a proficient fighter but primarily engages opponents through the use of telekinetic forms such as shields and giant fists which she is able to form from black energy that she conjures through some combination of the use of incantations and innate physical ability. She is also able to fly and can pass through solid objects by transforming herself into a sort of astral image of her body. The combination of her abilities is extremely powerful, causing at least one villain the Teen Titans fought to later wet himself, repeatedly, at the mere mention of her name.
Subject believes that her abilities come to her through her father, a notorious villain in her place of origin, Azarath. As a result, she makes considerable efforts to control her powers to see that she never takes after him. I have scoured the police record and done a nexis database search and was not able to find record of even one incident of the subject harming an innocent person or herself.
Subject is extremely intelligent and appreciates the most subtle moral distinctions. What's more, subject has invariably acted in the finest moral tradition in bearing tremendous burdens to act as a heroine and save the lives of others. Subject seems to feel sincere empathy for the unfortunate and downtrodden. Subject seems to have achieved mature adult ethical perspective. Subject is known for a sarcastic sense of humor but this is perhaps unavoidable when the extremely intelligent and solemn subject is faced with the sometimes inane demands for publicity made of a public figure such as a member of the Teen Titans.
As I have pointed out in other Titans evaluations, the typical evaluation such as this would include a physical to determine if the subject suffers from a condition that may affect his outlook or judgement. But the subject's physical nature is such that evaluating any of her body's systems against established earth norms simply cannot be done.
This office requested that S.T.A.R. Labs release data on Raven from among the series of physical exams performed on the full and auxiliary members of the Teen Titans. Our intent was to ascertain whether the subject is affected by any ailments which could have a deleterious influence upon her state of mind.
As with previous requrests for data, S.T.A.R. Labs responded with a declaration that data concerning patients would not be shared and was protected by the same doctor-client privilege as psychological information. The full and total sharing of data by S.T.A.R. Labs was the following:
"Raven:
age: approximately 18 years old
height: five feet seven inches
weight: 130 pounds
Raven does not suffer from any physical ailment affecting her mind."
With the caveat that a psychiatrist's standards of evaluation were not developed for application to individuals not of this earth, in my best judgement, I find that the subject, Raven, of the Teen Titans does not constitute a danger to herself or others.
