- Your city is mine! Your reality is mine!
- ―Johnny Rancid[src]
Johnny Rancid is a villain and an enemy of the Teen Titans.
Character History
Johnny Rancid is essentially an evil vandal and punk motorcyclist who first appeared in Jump City causing chaos in the streets. Robin, out on patrol on his motorcycle, tried to apprehend him on his own, but was vexed by Rancid's taunts and cycling skills and was therefore caught in an accident which wrecked his bike and earned him a broken right arm. Reluctantly staying home in the Titans Tower, he received a surprise visit by his extradimensional counterpart Larry; in the course of this encounter, Larry's reality-bending finger was broken, causing major upheavals in the fabric of reality on Earth.
Noting these phenomena, Rancid traced the source back to the Tower and jumped into the energy column that Larry's unleashed power had created, transforming into a hellish version of himself and giving him superpowers and warping the entire city according to his whim. Robin and Larry set after him and defeated him the same way he did with Robin: by decking him with repeated taunts until Rancid lost his composure and let himself be bested. With Larry's powers under control again, Rancid was stripped of his powers and jailed.
Some time later, Rancid returned to the city, with a self-built robot bulldog named Rex in tow. In the subsequent altercation with the Titans, Rex was destroyed, but Rancid managed to escape and later returned with an upgraded robot monster called Rexzilla. Before the latter could commence battle, however, it and Rancid were both eaten by a mutated Silkie, who had been changed into a giant moth monster by Killer Moth. When Silkie reverted to his former larval state, Rancid was found dazed, but alive amidst the debris left behind and, along with Killer Moth, taken into custody.
Johnny Rancid later escaped from prison and reappeared as a member of the Brotherhood of Evil. With his demonic powers somehow restored, he participated in the race initiated by Ding Dong Daddy for Robin's most prized possession, but was thrown out when Red X pasted an explosive on his bike, forcing him to abandon it. When the Brotherhood executed its plans to eliminate young superheroes around the world, Rancid and Cinderblock were charged with capturing Más y Menos, a task which they completed by half with only Menos ending up captive. He participated in the mass fight against the assembled Titans in the Brotherhood's base, but was defeated by Argent. It is unknown if he was frozen or not.
Teen Titans Go!
Johnny Rancid only makes one appearance in the Teen Titans Go! comic series, in issue 19 "Song of the Dead". Rancid appears to have reformed and sets up a rock group which includes Raven's friend Goth Boy. He is encouraged in this enterprise by a shadowy man who calls himself "The Agent" and has promised Rancid a promising career in entertainment with concerts and music videos. The group proves popular and even Starfire is impressed enough to buy a Johnny Rancid T-shirt and ask him for an autograph (in the final panel of the comic). Rancid dedicates one of his concerts to Rex.
However, the Titans discover that Rancid's concerts are linked to a sudden spat of zombie attacks. Rancid and his group perform near morgues and cemeteries and their music gives off paranormal energy which raises the dead. The Titans then learn that Rancid is due to perform live on national radio and fear that this will cause the dead to rise all over the country. They intervene, with Raven taking on and defeating "The Agent", who turns out to have been the Devil.
The Titans are shown to suspect that Rancid was part of "The Agent's" plot with Cyborg holding his Sonic Cannon at Rancid following "The Agent's" defeat. However, other scenes establish that Rancid genuinely wanted to have an honest career as a singer and was shocked by the effect his music had on dead people. When "The Agent" pressures him to make the national broadcast, he stalls long enough for the Titans to intervene and is genuinely impressed by the way Raven drives "The Agent" away.
