Opening shot: the night sky above the buildings of Jump City. Tilt down to point along a street, where a vehicle can be seen turned on its side in the distance.

A figure stands atop it, and a couple of Titans are facing off with him. In close-up, they are seen as Cyborg, Masaru, Starfire, and Robin, and the vehicle is an armored car whose back doors have been broken open.

Gold bullion spills out to the pavement. The bearded, helmeted male figure perched on it is clad in a skintight black outfit with a light bulb on the chest, and both hands glow very brightly.

This is Doctor Light, not to be confused with the character of the same name from the Mega Man game series.

Doctor Light: Your pathetic skills can't outshine the brilliance of Doctor Light!

He brings his hands together; the Titans scatter as a broad beam shoots toward them. Robin leaps high and flings a birdarang at the supervillain, who jumps down to avoid both it and the thrower's lunge.

Doctor Light: You're fast, but I doubt you'll enjoy moving at the speed of light!

He touches the bulb on his chest, causing it to glow and emit a wide-angle blast that propels Robin over the roof of a nearby building.

Beast Boy comes around a corner and charges, turning into a wolf as he runs. The robber easily ducks this rush.

Doctor Light: A wolf is no threat when it's blind as a bat!

He throws several glowing globes at the green lupine hero. They explode in a series of brilliant flashes and leave him so dazzled that he reverts to human form and claps both hands to his head woozily.

The next one in is Starfire, who flies overhead and throws a barrage of starbolts; Doctor Light creates a radiant shield around himself to block them.

He drops it after she stops firing, then throws a landmine-like device into the street. Its top opens to emit a wall of radiation that envelops Starfire and blocks her in.

Masaru kicks him in the stomach and vanishes, he reappears and uppercuts him and then vanishes. He reappears from above and punches him downwards, he disappears.

Doctor Light growls and forms balls of light that surround his very being, when Masaru goes for an abdomen punch it fails and each ball of light strikes him backwards.

Back to Doctor Light.

Cyborg: (from o.c.) Watch yourself, lightweight.

Pan to him by the armored car. He has half of one axle in hand, tire and all, and he moves in for a swing.

Cyborg: Things are about to get heavy!

He swings the axle down over his head, missing the enemy, but creating enough of a tremor upon impact to throw him back a few feet.

Doctor Light concentrates his energy in one hand and projects an intense beam that breaks the makeshift club in half.

Laughing, he creates a red projectile and directs it at Cyborg; it explodes in a terrific flash and storm of dust.

The view clears to show that the Titan is now embedded in stone, with only his head and hands free.

Cyborg: Uh! Hey! Let me...

Doctor Light approaches.

Doctor Light: Now if nobody minds, I'll be taking the gold.

Raven: (from o.c.) I mind. (Cut to her in midair.) Azarath Metrion Zin--

Before she can finish the incantation, a beam connects squarely with her and sends her to the street.

He walks up behind her as she starts to get up. The brooch on her cloak now shows a raven's head in its gold frame, and it will continue do so throughout this episode.
