H.I.V.E. Five

Wait, wait, wait. If you're called the H.I.V.E. Five, then why are there six of you?

The H.I.V.E Five are a group of criminal students from the H.I.V.E. Academy who were lead by Jinx until her defection to the Teen Titans.

History

The H.I.V.E Five was founded by Jinx after the destruction of the H.I.V.E. Academy and the defeat of Brother Blood. Although called the H.I.V.E Five, there were five members only in Mother Mae-Eye, and six in Lightspeed, until Jinx left with Kid Flash.

The H.I.V.E. Five were first encountered as a group robbing a mall. The Teen Titans tried to stop them but the H.I.V.E Five easily defeated them. They came close to killing the Titans but were driven off by Mother Mae-Eye. Though they did not get away with any crimes in the end, they still took pride in beating the Titans. They happily celebrated their victory in their base afterwards. However the Titans later returned the favor by sending them Mother Mae-Eye's cursed pie, which possessed them. During this episode the members of the H.I.V.E Five were Private H.I.V.E., Jinx, Mammoth, Gizmo, and See-More.

The H.I.V.E Five reappeared after Private H.I.V.E. had left the company of the others and was replaced by Billy Numerous and Kyd Wykkyd. They robbed a museum containing Egyptian artifacts, but were foiled by the young superhero Kid Flash, who had taken a liking to the H.I.V.E Five leader Jinx. Jinx tricked Kid Flash and, together with her comrades, succeed in capturing him. When they tried to present Kid Flash to Madame Rouge of the Brotherhood of Evil, Kid Flash escaped and the entire team ended up humiliated and scolded by Rouge. Madame Rouge went after Kid Flash herself, with Jinx also taking up pursuit. The other H.I.V.E Five members were afraid of Madame Rouge, so they decided not to take part in the mission.

Rouge located and attacked Kid Flash, who barely managed to find safety in a warehouse. However, Jinx arrived on the scene momentarily and trapped him with a device made by Gizmo. Jinx showed Madame Rouge her catch with pride, but Rouge once again patronized her, so in retaliation Jinx allowed Kid Flash to escape and struck back against Rouge. While this feat finally impressed Rouge, it was too late; Jinx renounced her criminal career and left the H.I.V.E. Five.

The H.I.V.E Five later on participated in the final battle against the Teen Titans in the Brotherhood of Evil's base. When the Five decided the fight was lost and attempted to turn tail, Jinx appeared alongside Kid Flash, and disabled her former teammates with ease. They were subsequently flash frozen along with the other members of the Brotherhood of Evil.

Members

The H.I.V.E Five team change their members every time they appear. Jinx, Gizmo, Mammoth and See-More were permanent members of the team (although Jinx left during Titans Together).

• Jinx: The leader of the H.I.V.E Five. She wields powerful bad luck powers, and is also a good athlete.

• Gizmo: A short boy genius who has an arsenal of mechanical tools and weapons. Gizmo is also a good hacker, easily breaking into computer systems.

• Mammoth: The big "Muscle" of the group. Mammoth's body is very strong, making it hard to feel pain. He can produce massive shockwaves with his arms.

• See-More: See-More's powers come from eye-visor on his helmet, which mounts eyes with various super abilities.

• Private H.I.V.E: Private H.I.V.E is a strong hand-to-hand fighter who prefers to defeat his enemies with brute force.

• Billy Numerous: Billy Numerous can create numerous clones of himself (hence the name Numerous). These clones have the same abilities he has, but they are independent entities, so Billy cannot control them.

• Kyd Wykkyd: Kyd Wykkyd is the silent member of the team. He is mute, but his powers make up for his lack of voice. He is capable of teleportation, which allows him to perform sneak attacks.

Notes

• The H.I.V.E. Five are partly based on the Fearsome Five.
