Biography

Main/Teen Titans

Raised on Azarath, Raven is the daughter of the Demon Trigon and the human Arella. Half human, half demon, Raven struggles to keep her demonic side under control. She vows to stop her father's desire to conquest.

Regime

Once Superman’s government assumed control over Earth, Raven gave in to her demonic desires. She now enjoys meting out Superman’s harsh brand of justice and punishment.

Injustice Comic

Year One

Raven first appears in the eighth chapter, answering Wonder Woman's call for heroes at the Watchtower. She and Nightwing exchange glances when Wonder Woman makes a speech about how no one was untouched by the tragedy of Metropolis and that there are heroes who no longer stand with them.

Raven next appears when Mirror Master attempts to escape into his mirror dimension. She forces him out, her face demonically contorted as she pushes Mirror Master halfway out, allowing him to be interrogated by the Flash and Wonder Woman.

Next seen in Chapter Eighteen after a long absence, Raven is seen intervening in a war between two nomadic tribes in Sudan. She summons the image of her father Trigon to end the conflict by terrifying them into surrender.

After another lengthy absence, Raven reappears during Chapter Twenty-Seven among the gathered Justice League as Luthor presents the finished enhancement pill.

After yet another lengthy absence, Raven makes a final appearance in the original series along with several other members of the Justice League before the United Nations as Superman announces his intentions to hunt down Batman before unveiling his new army.

Year Two

Though she has not appeared physically, Zatanna mentions in the second chapter that Superman is having Raven scour several magical dimensions in his hunt for Batman.

Year Three

Raven returns in the Year Three series after a total absence in Year Two. The second chapter of Year Three reveals Constantine captured Raven at some point and trapped in her a mystical seal inside a church in Gotham. Constantine later shows both Batman and Detective Chimp her location, with Constantine's reasons being in case something were to happen to him. Raven tries to threaten Constantine by saying, "When my father comes--" but the mage simply retorts that her father will come when he calls.

In chapter seven, Raven is still bound in Gotham City when she spots a cat nearby. Though momentarily surprised, Raven calls the cat over, causing it to accidentally knock over one of the candles that line the seal binding her. Triumphant, Raven projects her astral form and escapes.

Seeking Superman out, Raven finds him alongside the Spectre in the upper atmosphere. Though Raven tries to approach the Man of Steel, the Spectre mistakes her reasons and unleashes a stream of emerald light on her, harming Raven's astral form. Superman stops the Spectre and a weary Raven manages to tell Superman of her captors, Batman and Constantine, before quickly realizing her window is closing and the seal is being repaired. Before she is pulled back to her binding place, Raven manages to show Superman where she is bound before being pulled back, desperately crying out to Superman to save her.

Injustice: Gods Among Us

Raven first appears during the attack on the Watchtower, protecting Nightwing from Lex Luthor's missiles. After telling Luthor she hates him more than violence, she teleports away from his laser and fights him in the background. 

Just before Batman teleports to the Watchtower, she is seen attacking Catwoman with blasts of demonic energy. After Batman defeats Bane and Lex Luthor, she opens a portal to Arkham Asylum, through which Nightwing escorts Bane, Solomon Grundy, and Catwoman.

In an alternate universe, many of Ravens comrades were killed in the destruction of Metropolis. The variety of negative emotions felt by Raven caused her to embrace her demonic side, and eventually, her father Trigons influence. She now works with the Regime in an effort to pave the way for her fathers invasion force. Raven is first seen with Cyborg, vengefully torturing Deathstroke in the Ferris Aircraft Facility. She offers Slade amnesty, but continues to torment him when he refuses. Green Lantern immediately intervenes. Raven recognizes him to be Hal Jordan, but senses he is of a different universe. She then uses Deathstroke's pain to attack Green Lantern, which he overcomes with a blast of energy that sends Cyborg flying back. Raven attempts to arrest Green Lantern, but is defeated along with Cyborg. 

Later, during the battle on Stryker's Island, Raven demonically possesses Green Arrow and attacks Insurgency Batman. After being defeated as Green Arrow, Raven returns to her normal form and attempts to attack Insurgency Batman with a giant crow she conjured with her magic. Just before it can attack Insurgency Batman, the mainstream Batman knocks Raven out, dispersing her monstrous creation.

Raven is present during the Regime meeting at the Fortress of Solitude. When Superman decides to destroy Metropolis and Gotham in an act of power, he assigns Raven and Cyborg to broadcast the event on all radios and televisions.

Raven last appears in Wonder Woman's chapter, teleporting to Themyscira as Wonder Woman and Ares are discussing Regime Superman's plan. After ridiculing Ares' choice to side with the Insurgents, Wonder Woman tells Raven she is aware of her true loyalty: her father, Trigon. Raven informs Wonder Woman that Regime Superman's victory will hasten her father's return, "and all shall bow before him," before attacking Wonder Woman. She is subdued.

Although Raven is not seen being arrested along with the other Regime members, it is implied, as all other Regime members were caught or turned themselves in.

Ending

Injustice Gods Among Us - 'Raven Ending' 【HD】

Winning the battle with Superman cost Raven dearly. The amount of demonic energy required overwhelmed her. After regaining consciousness, she looked around warily. Her immediate surroundings were a hellish ruin. Nearby stood her father, Trigon. Raven had somehow called him forth during her battle. Trigon thanked his daughter. He then summoned an army of demons and set out to destroy the rest of the planet.
