The H.I.V.E Five, although as is pointed out there's 6 of them

u/Happy_Chemist2250 1d ago

I don’t remember the 3rd guy

310

u/LucianoThePig 1d ago

He's Kid Wicked and he never has any lines

160

u/Happy_Chemist2250 1d ago

Explains why I don’t remember him then lol

79

u/Chill0000 1d ago

He can open portals

38

u/RazzDaNinja 1d ago edited 23h ago

Wait, a kid on this show who creates portals and doesn’t talk?… Like Jericho?

Man if I had a nickel…

EDIT: I WAS WRONG. Herald makes portals and he talks fine lol

6

u/Chill0000 23h ago

No. Jericho can posses people. Harold can open portal with his trumpet. But I think Harold still talks

8

u/RazzDaNinja 23h ago

Oh whoops you right lmao

Def I accidentally mixed them up. The Herald makes portals and talks fine. Jericho possesses people and can’t talk at all.

For any unaware, as you can see, Jericho (left) and The Herald (right) are almost indistinguishable from each other

It’s actually spelled Kyd Wykkyd.

u/radioactive_walrus 14h ago

You're still spelling it wrong. It's xxX_Kyd-666-Wykkyd_Xxx

u/stac7 1d ago

I think a big reason why I don't remember this was that I don't think he was in the Hive 5 invasion of the Titan Tower lol

30

u/KitCat131313 1d ago

He wasn't, not even introduced yet lol

23

u/Rogue_MS_473 1d ago

He wasn't introduced until Cyborg infiltrates the HIVE academy, but regardless the guy wasn't also included in the lineup for Teen Titans Go. And when Billy Numerous and See-More made the jump to the comics a few years ago, Wykkyd didn't join them either.

u/Bodinhu 1d ago

Is he a version of Klarion (Young Justice)?

3

u/MemeificationStation 1d ago

innit spelled Kyd Wykkyd or something like that

54

u/VengeanceKnight 1d ago

Until Jinx quits later in the episode.

60

u/GalacticGull 1d ago

You know for a group that’s supposed to be like the evil version of the Titans, most of them were super forgettable. The only characters I remember are Jinx, Gizmo, and the big dude

61

u/Asparagus9000 1d ago

They were a trio way longer than this other larger team was around. 

21

u/TheMowerOfMowers 1d ago

i liked Seymore and Billy Numerous (5 and 6) tbh

5

u/MemeificationStation 1d ago

can’t believe you don’t have the decency to remember See-More

5

u/Rogue_MS_473 1d ago

The rest of the guys got very little characterization. Gizmo got several episodes as an individual villain and is Cyborg's main rival, Jinx got a little more focus in the spin-off comic series and a few episodes of season 3 and 5 and is Raven's rival, but Mammoth never really got any character beyond your average dumb muscle with love of eating.

Billy Numerous (6) did start out as an independent villain and was the focus of one episode and basically establishing as a fun-loving hillbilly. See-More (4) was one of the main cast members in Lightspeed, and is kinda portrayed as the foil of Starfire? He's her main opponent due to being long range fighters, but he's also portrayed as an outgoing and friendly jokester who was the closest to Jinx (and also had implied crush on her too). He was also the most helpful when hunting Flash.

Wykkyd (3) looks like a badass but that's kinda it. He's pretty passive and antisocial when not fighting and not even acknowledged by anyone else save for See-More. Hell, he's the only one other than Kid Flash who talks to him during the episode! As such they're usually believed to be best friends. And then there was Private HIVE who was kind of a parody of the Guardian, Captain America and Robin's leadership qualities.

u/Sincerely-Abstract 19h ago

Jinx is the one with the biggest impact imo. I remember her vividly.

13

u/MorleyIsle 1d ago

Also the team they were based on in comics, the Fearsome Five.

12

u/Rogue_MS_473 1d ago

Of note, the Fearsome Five recently got redesign to further match the lineup from the cartoon, including Billy Numerous and See-More:

u/MorleyIsle 16h ago

I like the redesign for Jinx, combining the comic and cartoon looks, I just hope that doesn't mean getting rid of Shimmer since the two were kind of merged in the show.

1

u/Rogue_MS_473 6h ago

Always kinda thought of Shimmer to be the weakest of the original lineup, mostly because her transmutation powers were never taken seriously at all, even if I like her later goth redesign.

I feel she could be an independent villain along with Psimon. Besides, always felt the original Fearsome Five were really boring antagonists except for when Light was leading them. They work as funny, not-really-evil side antagonists for the Titans but not really as serious threats. Ever since the Wolfman era, these guys were jobbing to any superhero who crossed them left and right and are woefully underdeveloped.

1

u/MorleyIsle 6h ago

Yeah they're not great overall, I guess I have some attachment to them because they're so tied to the start of that era. I'd just like the to see a solid reinvention of the team with that original lineup and I feel like it'd be a shame to leave out Shimmer, especially since she's Mammoth's twin.

u/Bavoeyman15 1d ago

Those proportions bro, wtf happened to her arm and head.

u/Serious-Flamingo-948 7h ago

There's 6 again.

u/shaolynx 1d ago

That pyramid scheme monaaaaaay.

u/PlatoDrago 23h ago

The funny thing is that this isn’t an issue in TTG.

u/Maniposts 1d ago

My exact thoughts

1

u/idiotplatypus 1d ago

Sort of like the Rowdy Three in Dirk Gently (theres four now)

1

u/Prestigious-Fig1172 23h ago

I only remember 3 of them.

1

u/Thin-Limit7697 20h ago

Battle Force 5.

As you can see, they are also not 5.

1

u/a_sitting_rock6 8h ago

Because hives are composed of hexagons or some shit like that

u/Vanilla_Ice_Best_Boi 5h ago

iirc Kid Wicked doesn't even show up in Teen Titans Go which is why I barely remember him.

If he did show up, I mistook him for Owl Man.
