Kid Flash to Kyd Wykkyd in "Lightspeed"

Kyd Wykkyd (pronounced "Kid Wicked") was a former student of H.I.V.E. Academy, current member of the H.I.V.E. Five, and a reoccurring enemy of the Teen Titans.

Character history[]

Kyd Wykkyd's origin is unknown, but at some point he was recruited as a student of H.I.V.E. Academy. Cyborg later infiltrated the institute to discern the latest plans of its then-current headmaster, Brother Blood. In the wake of the resulting conflict the academy was destroyed, and most of its students went freelance. Kyd Wykkyd escaped the destruction of the academy using his teleportation abilities, saving Angel as well.

After H.I.V.E. Academy's destruction, Kyd Wykkyd joined five of his prior classmates, Jinx, Mammoth, Gizmo, See-More, and Billy Numerous, in forming the H.I.V.E. Five, a group dedicated to committing petty crimes and opposing the Teen Titans. In "Lightspeed" Kyd Wykkyd seems to have little interest in making it to the "Big Leagues" of villainy. He, along with Mammoth, Gizmo, See-More, and Billy Numerous, express their reluctance to assist Jinx in aiding Madame Rouge catch Kid Flash after their base of operations is destroyed by the Titan.

After Jinx left the H.I.V.E Five, Kyd Wykkyd and the remaining H.I.V.E. Five members decided to aid the Brotherhood of Evil in their fight against the Teen Titans, although the exact reason for this change of heart is unknown. In "Homecoming - Part 2" he makes a cameo appearance alongside the rest of the villains.

In "Calling All Titans!" Kyd Wykkyd teamed up with Psimon for an assault on Raven, who was responding to a distress call from Más y Menos. While Raven was busy dueling Psimon, Kyd Wykkyd engulfed her with his teleportation power and kicked her through Psimon's portal. However, Raven managed to escape and return to the final battle with reinforcements.

When the Titans mounted their final assault on the Brotherhood's base in "Titans Together," Kyd Wykkyd was seen being attacked by Control Freak (possessed by Jericho) and Beast Boy (T-Rex form). As the Brotherhood's members dwindled, Kyd Wykkyd and the rest of the H.I.V.E. Five attempted to escape, but were intercepted by Kid Flash and Jinx (Now part of the Teen Titans herself.) Jinx knocked them out with a hex blast, resulting in Kyd Wykkyd and the rest of the H.I.V.E. Five being flash-frozen with the other villains.

Teen Titans Go![]

He appeared in "The Fearsome Five" as one of the possible recruits of the Fearsome Five. When Doctor Light and Psimon asked the assembled villains if anybody was interested in joining, Kyd Wykkyd was not among those interested. However, Doctor Light and Psimon ordered the people who were interested to fight those who were not, resulting in Kyd Wykkyd ending up unconscious alongside the rest of the villains.

He appeared again in "Nearly Nabbed Me," which took place in the H.I.V.E. Five base with the H.I.V.E. Five's members being the central characters. Kyd Wykkyd, Gizmo, Mammoth, Billy Numerous, and Jinx were shown playing Scrabble and talking about their close encounters with the Titans, in which all of them barely escaped. When Billy asked if Kyd Wykkyd had any similar encounters, the rest of the H.I.V.E. Five started to wonder why Kyd Wykkyd never talked. Uncharacteristically, he responded, "maybe because conversation with you lying, cheating crooks is pointless." While the rest of his comrades were shocked that he actually spoke, he recited the incantation "Azarath Metrion Zinthos" and revealed himself to be Raven in disguise. The real Kyd Wykkyd's whereabouts at this time remain unknown.

Physical appearance[]

Kyd Wykkyd's villain costume includes a purple spandex, black trunks, a silver belt, black gloves and boots, black cape with a silver clasp, and cowl. His cowl has a symmetrical, pointed design that covers his ears and nose, and may be connected directly to his cape. The cowl seems to be two toned, the piece lying flat against his head being purple, versus the black "ears" or "horns." (Due to the black cape's highlights being the same tone of purple, the certainty of this is a bit unclear.) His cape is quite long and serrated. It drapes in a way that when Kyd Wykkyd is standing, the cape closes to cover all of his body but his boots. Kyd Wykkyd has gray skin and red eyes lacking irises and pupils, suggesting that he is not entirely human.

Personality[]

Kyd Wykkyd comes across as a mysterious character due to him being mute, having not spoken a single word during any of his appearances. He seems to have a stoic and calm personality, evidenced by his tendency to show little emotion compared to the other members of the H.I.V.E Five. Kyd does have his moments of lightheartedness however, smiling enthusiastically when Billy Numerous suggested building a pillow fort in "Lightspeed," and laughing several times in "Deception." Kyd Wykkyd similarly seems to have no problem bonding with his fellow classmates, seen involved in conversation with other villains at H.I.V.E. Academy. He apparently gets along well with his fellow H.I.V.E. Five members, sharing their enjoyment for petty crime and goofing off.

Prior to Jinx leaving, Kyd seemed uninterested in the major leagues of villainy, instead following the whims of the other H.I.V.E. Five members. He did assist Jinx in catching Kid Flash in "Lightspeed," but ultimately was not very invested in the operation. He shows visible fear when Madame Rouge berates the H.I.V.E. Five for allowing Kid Flash to escape.

Relationships[]

Prior to Jinx leaving the H.I.V.E. Five, Kyd Wykkyd seemed to have good relationships with the other members. Kyd seemed to share the lack of ambition that the other H.I.V.E. members exhibit, excluding Jinx. He is uninterested in joining the "big leagues" of villainy, content with committing petty crimes alongside his friends. Ultimately, it seemed that he acknowledged Jinx to be the leader of their troop, respecting her commands in times of crisis just as the other members did.

See-More and Kyd Wykkyd are seen directly working together on a few separate occasions, See-More giving instruction using his recon abilities while Kyd Wykkyd follows his lead and gets into position with his teleportation.

Kyd Wykkyd seems to have a connection to Angel, as during his time at H.I.V.E. Academy he is seen with her a few times. The nature of their relationship is unknown, but they seem to be friends at the very least— Kyd Wykkyd teleports Angel to safety during the destruction of H.I.V.E. Academy. Their designs also seem to play off of each other, Kyd Wykkyd appearing more demonic in nature while Angel is, of course, angelic.

Powers and abilities[]

Lightspeed05

Kyd Wykkyd using his powers to phase through glass.

  • Teleportation: Kyd Wykkyd's primary power is teleportation. Although he does not seem to actually need his cape to teleport, teleporting several times in the show without making use of it, Kyd Wykkyd often uses it as a conduit. Wrapping something in his cape seems to allow him to teleport things with him, including people.
    • Portal Creation: By holding his cape up to a surface, Kyd Wykkyd can create a hole in the said surface and phase objects through.
    • Serrated Edge: Using his cape, Kyd Wykkyd can cut through materials as durable as metal easily. It's unknown whether this is a feature of the cape itself, or whether this is an application of his teleportation powers. (Removing a sliver of the targeted object by teleporting it.)
  • Stealth: Kyd Wykkyd seems to be skilled when it comes to stealth, which is noted by Kid Flash in "Lightspeed." Coupled with his teleportation abilities, it makes him suited for surprise attacks and ambushes.
  • Hand-to-hand combat: Kyd Wykkyd is a capable combatant. He appears to have enhanced reflexes and decent strength, as he manages to get a solid hit on Kid Flash and send him flying back with one hand.
  • Levitation: In "Calling All Titans!", Kyd Wykkyd may demonstrate the ability to levitate himself and others mid-air, although it is unclear whether this ability is his own or Psimon's.
  • Gliding: As shown on the cover of "Nearly Nabbed Me/Lightning in a Bottle," he may be able to use his cape to glide.

Background information[]

  • Kyd Wykkyd was created exclusively for the Teen Titans TV series. He does not have any sort of reincarnation anywhere else except for a few scenes in the Teen Titans Go! comics. The directors stated that they wanted a cool bad guy, so they made Kyd Wykkyd.

Trivia[]

  • Kyd Wykkyd and Angel are often implied to have some kind of significant relationship. When H.I.V.E. Academy starts to fall apart in "Deception", instead of flying away, Angel goes straight to Kyd Wykkyd and he teleports them away safely. In "Titans Together", Kyd Wykkyd and Angel are constantly attacking alongside each other. Also, in "Homecoming - Part 2", he is seen standing next to Angel as one of the recruits for the Brotherhood of Evil.
  • Jericho and Kyd Wykkyd are the only characters in the series known to be mute.
  • Kyd Wykkyd and Private H.I.V.E. seem to alternate being the sixth member of the H.I.V.E. Five.
