Mother Mayhem
Few villains carry a name as deliciously ominous as Mother Mayhem, and this DC antagonist has been unsettling readers since her Bronze Age debut in The New Teen Titans #21 in 1982 — brought to life by the legendary creative team of Marv Wolfman and George Pérez at the absolute peak of their powers. She's woven into the fabric of one of DC's most celebrated eras, haunting the same pages as Dick Grayson, Donna Troy, Raven, and Koriand'r across Tales of the Teen Titans and the landmark DC Finest: Teen Titans: The Judas Contract collection. With two key-issue appearances flagged by collectors and a presence that has persisted all the way to 2025, Mother Mayhem is a figure whose dark staying power speaks for itself — a Bronze Age original who refuses to be forgotten.
